Marcie Alvis-Walker, Patricia Taylor and Tasha Hunter
In episode two of a 4-part series during Black History we celebrate BLACK WOMEN. Once again I am joined by Marcie Alvis-Walker from @blackcoffeewithwhitefriends and special guests Patricia Taylor from the popular blog and instagram account “Some Thoughts from Your Black Friend” and author and therapist, Tasha Hunter. We pick up where we left off in our last conversation and discuss the origins of distorted ideas and images of Black women vs their actual roles in our history. My guests share their thoughts on the movie “The Help” and why it is not an accurate portrayal of the stories of Black women. We dive into the stories of the real life Black women to be celebrated From Rebecca West to Nancy Green to Georgia Gilmore
