A Rageful Woman

Society EN ↓ 81 episodes

Silenced girls often become silenced women. Society is on a mission to mute, control and contain women. Loud girls and loud women make people uncomfortable. Rage can be constructive and liberating. We will use our voices and we will not be silenced. When women speak their truth they are called feminists and "woke." The opposite of "woke" is "sleep." Join your host, Loriann as she rages against the machine.

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever heard the term "racial battle fatigue?" You may be familiar with the strong black woman trope.
