  • One of my favorites

    Thank you Hana for the love song to Sudan — I wouldn’t have known this beautiful music had you not shared it. I’m Asian American but I got hooked on some of the diaspora episodes because they were so relatable to my own experience — then the hair and colorism episodes hooked me because I am a woman who also struggles with white beauty standards. This podcast is a comfort listen for me, I love the hosts’ friendship and soothing voices.

The Subtle Roast
Q: Whatever happened to Johnny?
Johnny reached out to me and expressed remorse for how we used to roast each other and acknowledged it affected me more than he realized.
The Subtle Roast
Q: What do you think black people could do to kind of champion body acceptance and diversity?
I'm not sure, as I still feel there aren't enough open conversations about weight in our community.
The Subtle Roast
Q: Do you think that has anything to do with weight at all though?
For me, yes. There's a connection between the expectations placed on fat people and the pressure to seem non-threatening or humble.
The Subtle Roast
Q: Have you felt like you’ve had to perform certain roles to make people feel comfortable?
Yes, especially with white folks, where I often feel that I must hold back my true feelings to make them comfortable.
