Before we dive in, I want to give a big shoutout to Whitney Allysyn for sponsoring today’s episode.

They design timeless capsule collections made just for us, with high-quality pieces that are built to last and mix perfectly with anything in your closet.
So no more compromising on style or fit! And with the holiday season coming up, now’s the time to check out their vegan leather collection for fall at whitneyallysyn.com so you can dress how you’re meant to dress.

‘Tis the season…of going BROKE lol.
Jk Jk…am I though????
Now that it’s past Halloween, we are officially approaching PEAK holiday season. Christmas, as well as other holidays like Hannukah and Kwanzaa, are right around the corner, and of course, we can’t forget about Thanksgiving. Nope. We are NOT skipping over her lol.
But here in NYC, the holiday markets are officially being set up (Bryant Park is already done and Union Square is prepping) and I can hear them calling me saying “Indiaaaaa, give us all your money!!!” But I think we have some self-control this year right?? Right??? Meh we’ll have to find out. We’ll try our best lolz.
So today we’re talking about being tall AND black (especially darker-skinned). This topic has been brought up in my DMs and my comments over the past few days. I did plan on speaking about this topic at a later time; however, because of the recent requests, I just took this as a sign to do this now.
Just a few quick disclaimers that are bulleted:
I identify as Black and I am mostly black genetically. While I am mixed, I am most in touch with my Black side so I do say I am Black.
While I do face some of the struggles of being a Black woman, I do acknowledge that colorism exists. If you didn’t know, I am a light-skinned woman. I am light with light-colored eyes, so I am aware that there are times when I’m treated differently because of how I look.
This episode will discuss slavery. If this is a sensitive topic for you, DO NOT tune in to this episode. Protect your peace babes.
“Being tall and Black isn’t for the weak.” “People give so much hate to tall, dark-skinned girls.” These are some of the comments and messages I’ve received over the past few days. And now’s the time to address them.
The way that people act towards us is largely due to the stereotypes given to both Black women AND tall women. What are these stereotypes? And how does it affect how people see tall, Black women? Tune in to the full episode to find out!
Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode; I really appreciate it, and I appreciate you. As always, feel free to reach out to me on my socials and let me know your thoughts on this episode as well as any additional points you’d like to add. And if I said anything incorrect, PLEASE CORRECT ME. I only want correct information put out there. Until then, I’ll catch you in the next one!
Goodnight and goodbyyyyyeee,
India
