Who gets to decide what's 'for the culture'? Insecure's Amanda Seales weighs in: R29UnbotheredxTargetStyle ad
If the 90-degree temperature, unbearable humidity, and blinding sunlight outside didn't tip you off, it officially feels like summer — and, on the latest episode ofthe podcast from Refinery29’s Unbothered, the roundtable is really heating up.
“The culture of Black excellence is fragile — it's a double-edged sword. As Black people, we have to be twice as good to get half as much, and we feel this pressure to perform. Is there a world where we can be both excellent and imperfect?” posits Danielle Cadet, host and managing editor of Unbothered. “There are so few of us at the top. It feels like you are held to a particular standard as a Black person, and you can't really live between both worlds.
“I had an epiphany and realized that I’m going to be as Black as I want to be — that’s been my barometer for everything I do. Can I be my authentic self, which is being unapologetically black? Being unapologetically a womanist? And being funny? If I can’t do those three things, then I’m just not interested,” says Seales, who recently launched a membership-only social network called SFB Society, which gives the Black community a safe space to have honest conversations.
