Black Girls Texting

Hey group chat!  This week, Chelsea is reminding ya'll that if you ain't Black, you can't say the N-word; Sade shares her take on the DaBaby debacle; and Glynn recommends a cute holiday rom com.  Then, we talk to Cha McCoy, a certified sommelier and founder of Cha Squared Hospitality & Consulting LLC, a wine experience company with a focus on events, tourism, and education. Check out all the good things she has popping at https://www.chamccoy.com/ and @cha_squared.  Cha guides us through a flight of wines produced by Black women winemakers from Washington State; Sashay wines and LaShelle Wines.  LaShalle is one of Washington state’s few Black Female-Owned wineries, their mission is to provide the best quality wines in a welcoming and inclusive environment. We sampled their Granache and Cab Sav. https://lashellewines.com/  Sashay Wines Sashay is a label in the Frichette Winery portfolio and is the mastermind of Shae Frichette, Assistant Winemaker, and Co-owner of Frichette Winery. https://frichettewin

On this week's episode, Sade laments aboout the pains of money management, Glynn shouts out the young activists and Howard University, and Chelsea talks us through an...interesting NYTimes read about code-switching in interracial relationships.  Then the girls get into the film "Passing." In theaters and on Netflix, the film is based on the 1929 novel of the same name by Nella Larsen, and its title refers to African-Americans who had skin color light enough to be perceived as white, referred to as "passing." It's a complicated topic and the girls explore the historic motivations to pass, the pain it would bring, and the overall constructs of race.     ****************** Make sure you’re following your girls on IG @blackgirlstexting, and on Twitter @blackgirlstext1.

On this week's episode we discuss the tragedy that occurred at Astroworld and we are praying for everyone impacted and the lives lost ; Sade is living it up in Mexico City; Chelsea is not happy with Chanel raising the prices of their bags (its fine we buying Black anyways); and Glynn sadly couldnt make this episode as she is ramping up in a new job. Then, Sade and Chelsea chat with Tia Mowry. Tia is a powerhouse in the wellness space. She co-founded Anser, a line of vitamins and supplements, in January 2020 after struggling with health and fertility issues related to endometriosis. The journey of changing her diet, fitness, and self-care practice inspired her to start Anser. She didn’t see women of color being represented in the wellness and health industry and decided to do something about it. The line, which is now available in Target, has successfully expanded and is inspired by her goal of encouraging everyone to take charge of their health.
