Anomalous Black Women
Anomalous Black Women is a podcast where truth lives out loud. Hosted by Bina Banks and Dr. Tonya Johnson, it centers on raw, unfiltered conversations about identity, healing, resilience, rest, and the realities of being a Black woman in a world that often misunderstands us. This is a space for women who refuse to shrink or perform strength at the cost of their peace. If you think differently, move differently, and live out loud, you’re not alone. You’re anomalous.
