Erica Abi Wright (born February 26, 1971), known professionally as Erykah Badu shocked the public with her somewhat controversial fashion statement, online pics and costumes. DJ Supreme & Lady Esi from the www.consciousradio.com More Knowledge Talk Show join me for a discussion. We explore the idea of age appropriateness and social decorum in "Black culture". And what are the age based architypes for women in society: Virgin - Mother - Matriarch.
In an interview with 10 magazine, Badu revealed that the perfume is called Badu's Pussy and is an "olfactory tribute to what Badu calls her 'superpower.'"
"There's an urban legend that my pussy changes men," she said. "The men that I fall in love with, and fall in love with me, change jobs and lives." The singer also talked about the process of making the fragrance, which included burning some of her underwear.
"I took lots of pairs of my panties, cut them up into little pieces and burned them," she said. "Even the ash is part of it."
Smart marketing move? Vulgar ? Occult practice? Or just a bit weird? Well that is for you to decide.

The virgin= purity+innocence. The Mother: Nurturer+Cultivator+teacher The Matriarch: wisdom+ Advisor+Guide+Inspirer. These archetypes aren’t really visible in spheres of influence and media that dictates trends today. We used to see these archetypes in our homes ie extended family, neighbours and communities especially religiously and culturally. Today imo virginity is to be lost as soon as possible. The mother is encouraged to be all they can be without needing a husband revenge though the best environment to raise children is one where a mother and father are present in a child’s life. And the matriarch is encouraged to behave like a younger woman competing with younger women for the type of men all the females want. It’s quite sad as abandoning those archetypes eventually has a harmful effect and outcome for them and children. Loving the discussion and the panels contribution. Love Light Realness

Really interesting analysis and plenty to reflect on. Much appreciation for the feedback 🙏🏾

If you’re concerned about problematic people in the music industry you should focus on the misogymoir in rap music. It’s really annoying to hear men sit in discussion about what a woman chooses to do with their own bodies. Why don’t you focus on helping BM in the community improve their behaviour and mental health. Why are y’all fixated on “fixing” women?! Big up Lady E! If a woman’s body looks amazing at 54 why shouldn’t she show it off?! A woman can be wise and sexy at the same time…taking care of yourself physically doesn’t mean you’re not wise. Ms Badu is an empowerer of women. The insecurity of men is way too loud and proud.

" Fixation" Lol. Maybe there are various things to focus on with respect to problematics in Black music misogynwoir is just one relevant area. But surely within a society striving for equality no group should be beyond discussion. It's more an exploration of the half naked image. But should we not be able to critique male rappers ie. The behaviour of Future but not be able to Sexy explore Red. And with respect to Erykah having her booty out it's her perogative but if you think that is a great example for Black girls and young Black woman that's your opinion some Black women or even men may care to politely question it, or disagree. Let's not try to shut down debate, we are much bigger than that as a people. Thanks for the feedback sis

I disagree to a point because it's somewhat of a double standard, when women sit around and talk about men more than anything else. More about holding each other accountable and keeping it real.

@cassleahg487 3 месяца назад

@@gaia1218 absolutely we should hold each other accountable. It’s not a “double standard” to ask men to focus on holding other men accountable, that’s their responsibility just as women should hold women accountable. My point is that there’s much worse things going on in music and entertainment than a 50 year old mother of grown adult children showing some cheeks. I don’t engage in sitting around discussing men…preferring to focus my efforts and energies on my sisters.
