Beyond the Scenes from The Daily Show

Dissecting the “Strong Black Woman” Stereotype

The well-intentioned “strong Black woman” stereotype limits Black women to only their strength, which can lead to harmful experiences in the workplace and in medical care situations. Daily Show producer Chelsea Williamson and creator and showrunner of Amazon’s "Harlem," Tracy Oliver, join Roy Wood Jr. to dissect and analyze what being a “strong Black woman” means and how Black men and onscreen representation can help provide safer spaces for Black women.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
