Carefree: Girls Just Want To Have Fun

Episode 5, Mar 31, 04:00 AM

Welcome to #SWPod! SW stands for Sisi Wote ('all of us' in Swahili) and this is the podcast where you can listen to casual commentary on Black music and literature from Global Majority writers from the perspective of a casual reader and everyday music listener just like you! aka me, Mandi.

In this episode, the theme is 'Carefree: Girls Just Want To Have Fun'.

In our Sounds segment: We dive into Kehlani's "After Hours" to explore the spirit of reckless abandon, the thrill of the forbidden, and uninhibited club energy.
In our Stories segment: The discussion centers on the quintessential modern literature great, Toni Morrison's Sula, analyzing how the "imperfect protagonist" Sula embodies the theme by living life completely on her own terms, free from external expectations.
In our Soundtracking Stories segment: Discover five new tracks related to the theme, including "Distraction" by Kehlani and "Who’s That Chick" by Rihanna. Listen and save the playlist here:SW POD: 'soundtracking stories' playlist stories
