More Than Just Your Token Black Girl

The BLK IRL Podcast

The BLK IRL Podcast is an audio docuseries that explores the business of “influencing” and the power dynamics at play in the act of cultural exchange. Join host Anuli Akanegbu as she dissects themes related to race in the influencer economy through research-supported commentary and intimate interviews with predominantly Black content creators, scholars, entrepreneurs, activists, marketing experts, and cultural critics.

In this episode, Danielle Prescod and I talk about the beauty and fashion industry’s reaction to last summer’s racial uprising, how she creates boundaries in her online and offline lives, and her plans to leave New York City.
