303 - International Women's Day feat. Yana Penrose and Shabazz Irving

Black in a Box

In this Women’s Day episode, midwife and baker elite, Shabazz Irving and actor and writer, Yana Penrose join us in the Box to discuss a few issues at the intersection of race and gender. We open up the episode with a discussion on toxic masculinity in the workplace (03:06). Next Shabazz guides us through an understanding of racism and sexism within the medical profession (33:00) and how to ensure Black and Brown patients receive good care. Then, we switch gears to talk about safely navigating dating, chat-ups, and new relationships in these pandemic times (1:02:30). WOMEN WHO BE WINNING DRAFT: In our second Draft in a Box (1:21:40) we each take turns to pick our Top 3 Black Women we are honouring for Women’s Day (and beyond). Each of our lists will be posted to IG so let us know whose list is your favourite. Love. Share. Subscribe.
