  • Dear Black Women: We’re Not Their Political Mules Anymore

    Dear Black Women: We’re Not Their Political Mules Anymore
    Mar 6 2026
    For years, Black women have been called the backbone of democracy. We show up. We organize. We vote. We mobilize communities and election after election, the numbers prove it.

    Here’s the question nobody wants to ask out loud: Why are Black women always expected to save the system while the system rarely shows up for us?

    In this episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, Elisabeth Anumele is speaking directly to Black women about the growing frustration with being told how to vote, who to support, and when to “fall in line.” From political pressure to perform loyalty, to candidates who assume our votes are automatic without doing the work to earn them—this conversation digs into the reality many Black women are feeling but don’t always hear discussed openly.

    This episode also addresses the current conversations around candidates seeking support from Black women voters while offering little engagement, policy focus, or accountability to the communities they expect to carry them to victory.

    Let’s be clear:
    Black women are not political mules. Our votes are powerful. Our voices matter…and automatic loyalty is no longer guaranteed.

    If candidates want the support of Black women voters, the message is simple: Show us the work. Show us the policy. Show us the respect.

    🎙️ Tune in for a candid conversation about political expectations, voter accountability, and why more Black women are demanding real representation before offering their support.

  • Blue in the Lone Star State? Inside the Texas Democratic Primary + Voting Experience

    Blue in the Lone Star State? Inside the Texas Democratic Primary + Voting Experience
    Mar 3 2026
    Is Texas really turning blue—or are Democrats just fighting different battles inside the party?

    In this episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, we break down the Texas Democratic primary from the voter’s perspective, with a special focus on Houston-area and statewide races that are shaping the future of the party. From confusing ballots and low-turnout realities to generational shifts in leadership, this conversation is equal parts civic education and real talk.

    We dig into:
    •What it actually feels like to vote in a Texas primary
    •Why down-ballot races matter just as much as the top of the ticket
    •The difference between name recognition, legacy, and active leadership
    •How redistricting reshaped power—and competition—in Houston

    Plus, a balanced, honest discussion on key Democratic figures, including Jasmine Crockett, Christian Menefee, and Al Green—what they represent, what they’ve delivered, and why voters are asking tougher questions than ever.

    This isn’t campaign messaging.
    This isn’t party cheerleading. This is about participation, accountability, and what progress actually looks like in the Lone Star State.

    🎧 Whether you voted early, showed up on Election Day, or are still trying to understand the process—this episode is for you.

  • What I’m NOT Accepting During Black History Month

    What I’m NOT Accepting During Black History Month
    Feb 16 2026
    Black History Month is not decorative, it is not seasonal and it is not comfortable.

    In this unapologetic and deeply reflective episode of Pretty Prissy Chronicles, Elisabeth Anumele speaks plainly about what she is no longer accepting — in classrooms, in politics, in media narratives, in local communities, and in the way Black history is presented and protected.

    From performative allyship to tone-policing, from policy decisions that impact Black neighborhoods to the importance of voting in every election — not just every four years — this conversation challenges symbolic celebration and calls for sustained accountability.

    As an educator and cultural commentator, Elisabeth explores:
    •Why Black History Month cannot be reduced to aesthetics
    •How local and national policies shape Black daily life
    •The danger of respectability politics and tone-policing
    •Why education remains a frontline for truth and equity
    •The power of consistent civic participation
    •Why Black joy is not distraction — it is resistance

    This episode is not about outrage, it’s about clarity because honoring Black history means protecting Black futures — not just posting quotes.

    Listen in. Reflect deeply. Show up consistently.
