Premieres Thursday, November 5The Baddie Stack Podcast 💅🏾📱⌨️ · Season 1
The Essential Baddie Stack
One layer of your digital life per episode: how it's always been done, how it's seen now, and how Black women, and all women, move on it from here.
Season 1 premieres Thursday, November 5Listen on Spotify
How every episode is built
- The layer. One piece of your stack, named plainly.
- How it's always been done. Including the Black women who built systems before anyone called them that.
- How it's seen now. What the default advice gets right, and who it was never built for.
- How we move on it. How Black women, and all women, need to see this layer to thrive now and from here forward.
- One move this week. A single thing to do, small enough to actually finish.
Season 1: The Essential Baddie Stack
Fifteen layers, one a week. Each one started as a post on the blog, so you can read along.
