Liberal Policies Are Getting Women Killed
About this podcast
Join Sharika Soal in her groundbreaking podcast, Divested Diary, where she tackles the unspoken and often uncomfortable truths within Black culture.
Each episode delves into topics such as relationships, crime, politics, and the movement of Black women divesting from certain negative cultural norms. Sharika fearlessly addresses issues like the high rates of violence against Black women, the challenges of single motherhood, and the consequences of toxic masculinity. With her no-nonsense approach, she also explores the phenomenon of "divesters" – Black women prioritizing their well-being over traditional expectations.
The podcast isn't just about highlighting problems; it's a platform for empowerment and change. Sharika's mission is to open doors to resources and support, fostering a community where Black women can thrive independently. Listen to Divested Diary for candid conversations, eye-opening statistics, and a fresh perspective on being a Black woman today. Engage in this journey of divestment and self-discovery with episodes airing weekly.
