Society EN ↓ 45 episodes

Foot on Yo’ Neck is a podcast devoted to stirring dialogue that fortifies the well-being, livelihood, and imaginations of Black Women, all while talking just a lil bit of shit! Foot on Yo’ Neck was created in 2019 because we were tired of witnessing Black Women being disparaged in media and academia. This podcast is a sonic community that is rooted in the Black Womanist tradition of alternative world-building. Foot On Yo’ Neck is about applying pressure to all systems of power through expressing our collective truths and manifesting unyielding liberation. @footonyoneck on all platforms
