S03E07 - Encore Episode: Kikė Ojo-Thompson discusses anti-African attitudes, “Misogynoir”, and raising resilient Black children
“For this episode of the RHH podcast, we are bringing you a throwback, and it’s the very popular episode from Season 2 featuring Kike Ojo-Thompson. The reason we are doing this encore presentation is because we know that so many of you are heading back to the workplace or back into the classroom, and what she has is the ultimate advice on knowing how to succeed and understanding the game board you’re playing on, especially as a Black person. And so we are bringing it back, this gem of an episode with my girl Kike!
Kike's mission is to transform institutions and work cultures into more equitable spaces. Our conversation explores the tensions and intersections of Black identity within Black communities. Then we delve into the double discrimination faced by Black women called “Misogynoir”, and finally tips for staying healthy and raising resilient Black children.
I love this conversation. I hope you do too.”
- Dr. O
