How the "Less Protection" Perception is Hurting Black Women

In this episode, Tionna talks about Megan The Stallion and a report that found:

"Compared to white girls of the same age, survey participants perceive that

·       Black girls need less nurturing

·       Black girls need less protection

·       Black girls need to be supported less

·       Black girls need to be comforted less

·       Black girls are more independent

·       Black girls know more about adult topics

·       Black girls know more about sex"
