I don't think that anyone who isn't black understands what it is like to consistently be viewed as a threat.
Ever met someone who speaks their mind with unapologetic passion? Danielle Moodie is that person. Known for her fierce advocacy and sharp political commentary, Danielle joins Jay Casale on 'The Lighter Side' to talk about everything from politics to mental health. Host of 'Woke AF' and co-host of 'Democracyish', Danielle brings a progressive, black perspective to the table, and she doesn’t hold back.
She’s a frequent voice on MSNBC and a columnist for Zora magazine, making her a powerhouse in the media world. In this episode, Danielle dives into the complexities of allyship and privilege, offering practical advice on how to support the black community. She talks about the ever-present anxiety that comes with being a black woman in America and shares her thoughts on the political system's need for radical change. Her take? The best ideas should win, not the biggest wallets.
But it’s not all heavy topics. Danielle also shares how she manages her mental health during these turbulent times. From meditating with her seven-year-old daughter to taking necessary breaks to avoid burnout, she provides a roadmap for self-care that’s both relatable and actionable. Danielle’s authenticity shines through as she discusses why separating art from the artist can be problematic, especially when it comes to holding people accountable for their actions.
She also throws in some TV and movie recommendations, like Netflix’s 'Lovebirds' by Issa Rae, to lighten the mood. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions—raw, real, and incredibly engaging. Whether you’re interested in politics, looking for ways to be a better ally, or just need some mental health tips, Danielle Moodie’s conversation with Jay Casale is a must-listen.
