Where is the line? In this episode, we are joined by Jennifer Iyke, who shares and discusses her experience with cultural appropriation. Jennifer talks about how Black culture has been appropriated, laying your edges, the history behind braids & cornrows, and how colonization & slavery have brainwashed us. We also try to differentiate appropriation and appreciation when it comes to Asian food and culture. From Guccis’ use of a Sikh turban, misuse of the Japanese aesthetic, to Kacey Musgraves wearing an Ao Dai WITHOUT the pants, how long are we going to let these things slide? We end the episode with some Do’s/Don’ts of Cultural Appropriation from The Atlantic. Respect the culture and do your research because cultural exchange is important.
