Student Podcast on This Mournable Body

Last Week, Max and I created a podcast, discussing Tsitsi Dangaremba’s novel, This Mournable Body.  In the podcast, we discussed the lack of care for the black female body, and how this uniquely effects the mental health of black women in a postcolonial world. We discussed the effect that colonialism has on a nation, and the lasting effects that the English colonization of Zimbabwe has on society. The idea that the black body is lesser and white people are inherently wealthier are both scars left on Zimbabwe’s culture by England and effect Tambudzai’s own outlook. Lastly, we discussed our selection of the song “Brown Skin Girl” by Beyonce as our Podcast theme. We believe that this song is a mantra for black women, telling them they are beautiful despite what society says.
