Ayo Edebiri, Erasure + Progress

What do we really mean when we talk about “political correctness” and “what we’ve lost”? In this episode, I dive into the viral interview moment where Ayo Edebiri was excluded from a heavy question on #MeToo, BLM and Hollywood. Together we’ll unpack the history of these movements, the way Black women are so often erased from the story, and how calls of “lost freedoms” often come from those who never had to share space before. From bell hooks to pop culture parallels, let’s sit with the nuance, ask whose voices are centered, and imagine what progress looks like when it’s for all of us.
