A Safe Space for the Girls
Black women podcasters in today’s landscape add flavor to the hum of voices across the podcast sphere. As trailblazers amplify underrepresented voices and tackle issues of significance, black women podcasters like the ladies of The Black Girls’ Den (BDG) pave the way for enriching conversations and meaningful connections.
The Black Girls’ Den is located at the intersection of personal growth and pop culture. Before you enter, you need to know a few things: this podcast is for the gowrls. The girls creating their own lane, the small-town girls with bigger dreams, and the girls searching for support, direction, and some connection.
Hosted by Alieshia (@queenlieshia) and Surea (@asshesays), the BGD aims to be a safe space for young Black women to be seen and heard in sharing their life experiences and stories related to womanhood, careers, and travel.
Welcome to the Den
If you feel you meet the criteria, please enter the den; Alieshia and Surea are welcoming, providing a friendly feel to their audience as they break down topics of the day. The Black Girls Den is refreshing, consistent, and encouraging across all podcasting and social media platforms.
Segments like Big City Dreams featured in their Chase Your Dreams Like Tabitha Brown episode encourage viewers and give advice on navigating new spaces and overcoming fears of the unknown regardless of where you are in life. If you don’t know where to start, I recommend you check out episodes 9, 10, and 22, my favorites from this pod; I felt so seen when the ladies broke down topics like social media and mental health, how to avoid burnout, and advice on financing your dream as a Black woman.
