Are You Practising "fluffy" Christianity?
Miss Informed Podcast
Sometimes, as Christians, we can find ourselves slipping into lukewarm Christianity, or what I like to call, "fluffy" Christianity, sometimes without even realizing it. In this episode, we discuss ways in which people can find themselves falling into "fluffy" Christianity, or lukewarm Christianity. It is important for us Christians to take this matter seriously as God clearly states in the Bible how he feels about lukewarm Christians, and what He will do to lukewarm Christians when the Lord returns to judge the world. In Phillipians 2:12, we are called to "work out your own...

Opportunistic Men Who Create MARRIED Single Mothers

Are you living for others? Stop operating from a place of deficit
Miss Informed Podcast
In this episode, I unpacked the following topic - “Are you living for others? Stop operating from a place of deficit” Oftentimes we find ourselves so consumed with living a life that, if we were honest with ourselves, is not really the life we envisioned for ourselves. Your life may look good to outsiders. Perhaps you have the husband & children other women in your life envy. Or maybe you have that lucrative career that others would salivate over. But can you honestly say that all those things are truly what you wanted for yourself. But life is too short to live a life unfulfilled....

Black Femicide: Why do black women protect the men that hurt us?
Miss Informed Podcast
Femicide and Gendered Based Violence (GBV) knows no race. However, statistics show that Femicide & GBV occurs at HIGHER rates within the black community.

Even though that man is their abuser. So this means that as high as the statistics are regarding black...

info_outlineFemicide and Gendered Based Violence (GBV) knows no race.
However, statistics show that Femicide & GBV occurs at HIGHER rates within the black community.
Yet, the same statistics show that black women & girls tend to be the most likely to fear calling the police on their perpetrator, mainly because the perpetrator is usually a man they know personally (eg a father, husband, brother etc), as they fear being the catalyst for that man ending up in prison. Even though that man is their abuser.
So this means that as high as the statistics are regarding black femicide & GBV, those stats do not even begin to scratch the surface to accurately reveal the scale of the problem.
In this week’s episode we will unpack the scale of the problem (evidenced by statistics), and also explore the possibilities of why as black women we tend to choose to protect the men that hurt us.
Is it social conditioning?
Or is there something deeper?
