How Colorism fuels BW/WM swirls in media

I guess this is maybe a counterpoint/companion post to this one and the dialogue started with @theonlyamazingtazmin in the comments.

That post was an ask that black women set personal boundaries around how the ship and media about the ship is effecting our well being. But an equally important conversation is why do we so often have to look to interracial couples for a well written romance for dark skinned black women. While I'm cautious about the level in investment in these pairings, I cannot deny the appeal and why it's almost a default because of how much romance for dark skinned black woman is gate kept.

My initial remedy to this frustration of how we attach ourselves to this pairing was, we need to watch and support black romance and and black tv shows and movies. But a lot of the problem is in doing just that. I watched mostly black shows in my youth and the pattern was already established of me always seeing the dark skin woman alone or butch while the lighter girls had their pick.

My favorite show as a teen was A Different World. And as ground breaking as that show was in many respects I do have to call out the paradigm it reinforced. Dwayne was obsessed with Whitley, the whitest looking woman shown on campus, and he was the darkest man shown on campus. Ron liked her best friend, Millie, a light skin girl, after that wasn't a thing it was like so crazy that he ended up with Jaleesa. His mom (the fab Patti LaBelle) kept telling him to get with the dark skinned girl with the pretty teeth, but it was like he resisted vehemently beforehand. He does, but then ends up with biracial Freddy and Jaleesa ends up with an old man and becomes a stepmom as her best option.

Back when I had HBO (I only pay for one subscription at a time and my current roommates decided to do the Disney+ package, but I only end up watching Hulu) I watched Insecure but didn't finish. I'm curious to see what happened romantically with the characters. Did they follow the same playbook? I don't want to be spoiled because I hope to continue that show one day, so please don't tell me. But I remember in the precursor to this show, Awkward Black Girl, Issa's love interest was a like pretty average, kinda lame white guy. Her black crush never panned out. I kind of rooted for her and white boy but like not that enthusiastically. I just wanted her to be loved, so tried to be into it, but honestly was like, is this her best option? I didn't finish because it frustrated me that he was her best option. Personal note: I need to finish an Issa Rae show.

Fast forward to literally as of yesterday. I started watching Queen Sugar (Hulu tries to represent black shows and movies but the selections aren't the best, if anyoen has recs, please share) because I said I want to watch more black entertainment like I did in my youth. The most recent try before this was Atlanta and I just wasn't impressed. Come to find out how douchey Donald Glover is about black women and got turned off. Anyways, I did get invested in QS after a few episodes and even cried. So what turned me off a bit and I hope doesn't put me off the show? Spoiler alert: The darkest woman, Nova, is a white cop's mistress. This isn't revealed right away. It opens with them having a sensual morning after but for some reason despite him being hot, I felt ick. Like, I predicted there was something ick coming, and sure enough she's the long term side piece. Her fine af dark skinned brother's ex is a light skinned woman and there seems to be a mild flirtation with his son's Latina teacher. The light skinned sister is married to a man about her skin tone. The aunt who is medium skin tone has a husband darker than her. So it kind of reinforced the colorism and that Nova's only option out of everyone else has to be a white man, and a white man that can't fully commit to her at that.

Now, let me jump back to why I got so invested in Richonne. I know some people probably like does this girl only hardcore ship traumatized curly haired blue eyed white men with dark skinned black women? Not intentionally, haha! But that was the most epic love story I've seen with a black woman who looks anything like me. I wasn't even expecting to ship anything on that bleak ass show. Not my fault. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough? But yeah, when I reached my adult years I kind of got tired of looking for the romance I wanted to see, that represented me, in black media and being disappointed. Because the dark skinned girls didn't get the same love as the lighter ones (or they are lesbians but that's a whole other post). I'm not saying white media isn't guilty. It's just white media when they tend to give a dark skinned black woman a romance it's with a white man if she isn't alone or a lesbian, just like black shows, but the romance tends to be deeper if it's main plot point, or at least that's what I see in Richonne and Carmy x Sydney.

I think there is a good and bad side to this. On one hand yes, give it to me. On the other is it only palatable for a dark skinned black woman to get love in a show with a mixed cast with a white man because there is still and aversion to black love for these women? It's so complex. This is why when I wrote my Syd and Carmy fic I intentionally made her ex a dark skinned black man. Carmy is mad jealous of him. It's not a real love triangle, he just frames it as one because he's insecure of her highly successful, young Idris Elba looking almost fiance, who her dad loves and is a family friend. So, of course Carmy is in his feelings. Although Syd dated white guys I didn't want the strongest competition to be another white guy. And I have Syd speak to the lameness of these other white men on purpose, on multiple occasions. She was always kind of chasing a Carmy replica but not because they were white, it's because he imprinted on her. But she chased trying to be with her ex just as hard, but for different reasons and in a different way.

Anyways, I don't even know what to expect from media at this point because often what we see onscreen does reflect reality. I'll describe myself. I'm a petite, slim curvy girl, cocoa complexion, kinky curly who often gets that "so pretty for a black girl" type compliment in the black community and from racist white people. My dating history has been mixed and mostly white (two Asians also in the mix) in my latter years by default. When I was in high school the few black boys (I went to a mostly white school) chased the white, Latina, or light skinned girls. And the few that were interested were not desirable trouble makers. One was so bad he verbally abused me in front of people consistently and then I found out he had a crush one me. No thanks, red flags galore. The first somewhat decent boy that was interested and actually knew me was my white boy best friend who tried to make a move one day. I wasn't interested, didn't see it coming, but it started a pattern. I just wanted to be his bestie because we were both film geeks, had family trauma, were loners, smoked weed, and were in theater together. It's so funny because he was a dead ringer for Leonardo Dicaprio and all the white girls swooned for him and I was like eh (never thought Leo was all that). So, no, I didn't view him as a prize romantically. But this same type thing continued with white guy friends secretly having a crush and me like not being that excited. But one day I did like one, gave it a try, and was like, ok cool, I can try this. And since then I get way more interest from white men than black men.

*Caveat, I'm currently single and don't think race has any influence on quality of men. My long term Asian ex was the worst boyfriend of my life and I'm still traumatized. Long story.

So should I be this surprised that media reflects my same experience? I don't know what the solution is going forward. Like, will media change and influence society or does society need to change to influence media?

[Video ID: An Afro-Latina trans woman, Angelique Godwin, stands at a podium in front of a supportive crowd behind her. The podium has a sign on it that reads 'Equality Florida. Censorship (crossed out) Freedom!' /End ID]

Video transcript:

Let me just start by saying, hi everyone. My name is Angelique Godwin and I am a Afro-Latina trans woman (crowd cheers) not only living in Florida but leading the way for my people and my community - and not just the trans community, but every single letter in the LGBTQIA+ community.

I will not be feared out of the state (crowd member shouts 'talk about it!'). You will not make laws to remove me or my dreams because I was raised in an America that believes that freedom will ring (crowd cheers) and freedom is mine to ring. It's mine to achieve.

I was raised underneath the belief that I can be anything and anyone I choose to be, if I follow my dreams (crowd cheers). And so, when I set out as a young person raised by a 9/11 First Responder, police detective in the Bronx of New York and a teacher who worked for the Board of Education in the Bronx, New York, I was raised to believe that I truly could be anything I put my mind to (crowd cheers). And as I grew up in this state, I went to school that I paid for and I'm still paying for - (crowd laughs) to get degrees. Not one, not two, but three certifications (crowd cheers). I am an example of what happens when you have parents and people and community that believe in you. I am a Masters of Psychology earned person, educated, going for my doctorate this year (crowd cheers). I am unstoppable.

You made laws and you made bills that said that, oh, she can't get her medication. And, yeah, I lost all of my help. I lost my doctors. I lost my, my, my access to my medication. But because my community is not weak, because we don't back down, I got it all back (crowd cheers). And I went and bought my own health insurance, because y'all can't even seem to provide none for none of us. So I got health insurance that backs me in the state of Florida. That supports me.

When you guys put laws about education, I start programs. I teach for a living. You can take the books off the shelves, but you can't take the memories out of my mind (crowd cheers). You can erase me from your history books, but, baby, I still exist. I'm here and now I'm on television, baby, you can't get rid of me (crowd laughs and cheers). I'm forever. And soon enough I'll be like Cher. I'll be immortalized. You can't stop me. I'll speak at every single turn.

You made it so that now I have to stand up and fight. You attacked a group that has no ill will towards you and now we have to stand up and fight. So we're gonna fight. We're going to continue to show up. I told you last year, this wasn't the last you seen of me. Hello (crowd laughs and cheers). Last year, I was a volunteer. Now I am the TransAction Special Events Coordinator for Equality Florida. Keep making these laws and these bills and you'll see me in your Senate seats next (crowd cheers). And that is not a threat, that's a promise.

So be sure who you attack because you haven't quelled anything. You haven't stopped us, you've ignited the fire. You've become gasoline. And, baby, we are going to burn like the books and the bras of the past. We will stand on things. I'm going to sit on these subjects like Rosa Parks sat on the bus. Because my dreams will come true, like Dr. Martin Luther King, and I will continue to walk the road, like Ruby Bridges alone, and you can throw your words but they will never break me. You can throw your bricks but they can never hurt me. I will stand and exist for those who cannot. For all of my brothers and sisters and theys and thems who left and can't stay here, I will always be here. And even when you stop doing what you're doing, I will continue to move forward because that is what I do. And now you have met just one, and I'm going to inspire generations, because I already have. Look at the room, read the room, baby (crowd cheers).

And I am, just so you know, and your parents will know, and your children's children will know, I am one of the people who brought all of those drag queens to this rotunda (crowd cheers). And I was here last year with all of those children who came when you came for their rights. It will never stop. It will continue. We will not let these rooms be empty. Even when you plan your sessions around it and try to get them done without us (has mild vocal trouble and grimaces slightly)- without us, sorry - I will show up. I will be here. I look forward to seeing you all throughout the rest of the sessions. Get used to it because I'm pretty and I look good all the time (crowd cheers). My development as a trans woman has been amazing, and I promise you, my body is real, my face is mine, baby. The makeup game, I've been slaying it for 19 years. I'm older than I look but my skin looks better than yours because I know how to take care of it. If you want help, call me (crowd cheers).

I'm mad. I'm done. I'm done playing safe with you guys. I'm done being that person that you think you can walk over. My community, we are not going to be the backs on which you stand on. We're not that community anymore - slavery is over. We won't live in closets anymore. Closets are done. They're removed. It's open spaces.

This is a world where we're supposed to be free. You call yourself a free state, but you take away freedoms and rights. No more. We stand here. We are not going anywhere. So get comfortable, because we are. And we're here (crowd cheers). Thank you. Source

One of the greater indignities of the Dobbs Supreme Court decision—besides stripping millions of American women of their bodily autonomy—was how deeply out of step it was with the majority of Americans’ beliefs. According to a 2023 Gallup poll, a record-high 69 percent of Americans believed that first-trimester abortions should be legal. Considering this statistic, it’s surprising that Democrats haven’t more robustly rallied people around this issue. One reason may be that they just don’t know how.

Roe gave American women decades of false comfort: Abortion access and reproductive rights could remain firmly in the dominion of feminist causes. Keep Your Hands Off My Reproductive Rights T-shirts became nearly as ubiquitous as Girl Boss tote bags. But although most Americans support abortion access, feminism remains more polarizing. Only 19 percent of women strongly identify as feminists. That number is far higher among young women, but among young men, the word has a different resonance: Feminism has been explicitly cited as a factor driving them rightward. Democrats might not like how this sounds, but what they need to do now is reframe a winning issue in nonfeminist terms.

One way is to talk about abortions as lifesaving health care, which more women have been doing. Another model is to talk about it not as a women’s issue, but as a family issue. This is the strategy of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice. For 15 years, NLIRJ has worked in states such as Florida, Texas, and Arizona, training community leaders it calls poderosas to speak with their neighbors. The conversations don’t necessarily begin with abortion at all.

[Read: It’s abortion, stupid]

Most Hispanics in the United States are Catholic. Despite a deeply ingrained religious taboo against abortion, 62 percent now believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases. That number has risen 14 percentage points since 2007. This remarkable change is partly a reaction to draconian abortion restrictions in several Latino-heavy states. But much credit should also be attributed to years of grassroots work by organizations like NLIRJ to shift the culture.

“We ask them what keeps them up at night,” Lupe Rodríguez, the group’s executive director, told me. Rodríguez holds a degree in neurobiology from Harvard and was a scientist before she shifted into reproductive-justice work. That opening question might yield answers about problems at home or a lack of functioning electricity in their neighborhood. The point, Rodríguez said, is to go past individual “rights” and to connect “reproductive autonomy and bodily autonomy to the conditions that people live in, right? Like whether or not they’re able to feed their kids, whether or not they have money to pay the rent—like everyday concerns.” In this way, reproductive rights go beyond a niche women’s issue to something that affects every aspect of a community.

None of NLIRJ’s materials uses the term feminist. Rodríguez said this wasn’t a conscious decision, but she stands by it. “Our approach is a lot about certainly freedom, certainly bodily autonomy, certainly folks being able to make the best choices for themselves and their families. But it’s very connected to community and family.”

Poderosas are trained on how to discuss faith and abortion, and voting and abortion. Crucially, they are not required to personally hold pro-abortion views. The organization is nonpartisan. Involvement has no ideological requirement other than believing that everyone should be entitled to make decisions that are appropriate for themselves and their family. “We’re bringing people in that way, by not casting them aside” if they don’t share the same perspectives, Rodríguez told me.

This has proved an effective strategy for Latino advocates across the country, and one that Democrats can learn from. In Florida, NLIRJ and other organizations, such as the Women’s Equality Center, have shifted the narrative around abortion bans to be about the government interfering in private family matters. In Arizona, a recent poll by LUCHA, a family-oriented social-justice organization there, found that 75 percent of Latino voters agreed that abortion should be legal, regardless of their personal views on the matter. In New Mexico, male Hispanic Democratic politicians are campaigning on reproductive rights even in conversations with Latino male voters, whose primary concern is typically the economy. Representative Gabriel Vasquez is banking on this being a matter of family and personal liberty—exactly what drove so many Latino immigrants to America in the first place. “It is not about whether we are pro-choice or pro-life,” he recently told The New York Times. “It is about trusting the people that we love to make those decisions for themselves.”

Latinos have played large roles in getting abortion-rights measures on the ballot in Florida and Arizona this fall. And although just 12 percent of the general electorate considers abortion access a leading issue, according to a 2022 national survey, that number was 19 percent among Latinos.

[Read: Are Latinos really realigning toward Republicans?]

So often, political analysts look at how Latinos vote without asking why. It’s as if they assume that Latinos’ rationales are too foreign to understand. Democrats should not make that mistake now. This pragmatic approach is appealing to Latinos because they are largely politically moderate, working- and middle-class people concerned about their family, and about kitchen-table issues—just like much of the population in swing states. The Republican Party seems to have caught on to this; Democrats can’t afford to miss it.

No self-identified feminist who deserves the title will be supporting the intergenerational-bro ticket of Trump-Vance in 2024. The Democratic Party doesn’t need to pander to those voters, or pass a rhetorical purity test on women’s rights to galvanize them; they’re voting Democratic no matter what. Democrats need to focus on all the other voters—who may not care about feminism but do care about their families’ health and ability to thrive—and reframe abortion as an issue that affects everyone.

The backlash that Susan Faludi described, in her 1990 book of the same name, as a "relentless whittling-down process . . . that has served to stir women's private anxieties and break their political wills" was effective because it had an ace disguise: postfeminism. Though the term's origin is sometimes contested, before 1980 it was found chiefly in academic writing alongside a host of other "post"-prefixed theories (postmodernism, postcolonialism, poststructuralism); the "post" postulated what came next to build on the foundation of feminist theory. But as the term seeped out of the academy into a new, conservative era, mainstream media seemed unnervingly pleased to embrace the "post" in postfeminism to mean "against." As in, pack it up, go away, you're done. The books had been written, the marchers had marched, nothing more to see here.

The first mainstream use of the term was in a 1981 New York Times piece titled "Voices From the Post-Feminist Generation," in which writer Susan Bolotin found that young, middle-class women were actively retreating from the concept of feminism. Bolotin's subjects spoke of feminism and the women's movement with barely disguised pity. "It's all right to be independent and strong, but a lot of those women are alone," said one. Another offered, "Sure, there's discrimination out there, but you just can't sit there feeling sorry for yourself. It's the individual woman's responsibility to prove her worth. Then she can demand equal pay." It was a striking bit of cognitive dissonance, and even the author didn't bother to draw connections between second-wave feminists' work on behalf of equality and her interviewees' freedom to disparage it.

The rejection identified by the Times article centered on a very specific demographic—mostly college-educated, career-minded young white women whose thoughts and experiences would become invaluable to media coverage of "the death of feminism." In fact, feminism flowered in the 1980s; it just happened to be in places that mainstream media wasn't inclined to look. Black and Latina women, in particular, whose involvement in second-wave activism was mostly eclipsed by the movement's focus on the concerns of white and middle-class ones, spent the decade shaping a feminism that better acknowledged how race and class identities intersect with gender to inform and impact women's lives. The groundbreaking texts of womanism and intersectional feminism published during the 1980s—Angela Davis's Women, Race, and Class; Cherrie Moraga and Gloria Anzaldua's This Bridge Called My Back; Gloria Hill, Patricia Bell Scott, and Barbara Smith’s All the Women are White, All the Blacks are Men, but Some of Us are Brave; Paula Giddings's When and Where I Enter, Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider, and bell hooks's Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center—simply didn't fit the mainstream media's narrative of feminism as a finite movement whose time had come and gone. As a media story, women of color broadening the scope of feminist theory in the academy and beyond wasn't nearly sexy enough for column inches. White women cruelly brushing off the efforts of their predecessors while greedily enjoying the fruits of their labors? That could sell.

Media postfeminism didn't happen in a vacuum, but in an enormously changed national climate. President Ronald Reagan swept into office in 1980 on a wave of increasing conservatism and neoliberalism, and his platform—anti-abortion, anti-civil rights, anti-social services, anti-affirmative action—was, among other things, the start of decades of policy that pointedly targeted women's autonomy. Reagan struck the Equal Rights Amendment from the Republican platform, backed the anti-abortion Human Life Amendment, buddied up to the Religious Right, and set the tone for rising enmity toward families in poverty with his florid image of the government-draining "welfare queen." The GOP veered rightward with shocking speed, becoming a bizarro mix of cowboy fantasy and cartoon villainy in its attitudes toward women, ethnic minorities, immigrants, the mentally ill, and more. ("We have tried for two years to meet with him, but he will not see women's groups," noted the leader of the National Women's Political Caucus, herself a Republican, in 1983. "I don't think there is any woman within shouting distance of the President.")

Against this backdrop, the concrete successes of second-wave feminism—including no-fault divorce, criminalizing of domestic violence, hiring equality, equal access to education, and more—were recast as failures by much of the mainstream media. Such freedom, their stories and op-eds charged, had created monsters in the form of ultra-independent women who realized too late that they were childless, lonely, and starved for love. Newspapers and magazines were only too happy to cherry-pick statistics and warp study findings into fainting-couch stories about equality run rampant. As Faludi pointed out, the media’s adoption of postfeminism wasn't an accident, but a crusade built on faulty logic, lack of nuance, and a fundamental discomfort with actual feminist gains. "The press," she wrote, "was the first to set forth and solve for a mainstream audience the paradox in women's lives . . . women have achieved so much yet feel so dissatisfied; it must be feminism's achievements, not society's response to those partial achievements, that is causing women all this pain."

The news story that most famously anchored the backlash was Newsweek's 1986 report on "The Marriage Crunch." On the magazine's cover was a graph that looked like the world's worst single-drop roller coaster, and next to it, the headline "If You're a Single Woman, Here Are Your Chances of Getting Married." Inside was the now-notorious assertion that heterosexual, college-educated women who had not married by age forty had a better chance of being killed by a terrorist than of nabbing a husband: that assertion alone launched a thousand trend stories, dating services, man-catching seminars, and advice columns. But as Faludi noted, the story extrapolated from a study, "Marriage Patterns in the United States," whose actual findings, when broken down, were not nearly as dire as Newsweek's interpretation (and said nothing about terrorism). But in an increasingly conservative time, as "family values" became coded language for hetero, male-breadwinner/female-homemaker marriage, the mainstream media was hungry for any news that might help to discredit or undermine feminism, and Newsweek's bombshell accomplished both. Not only did it point the finger at feminism for making women delay marriage at their peril, the panic it sowed intimated that, for all this talk about liberation and independence, what women really wanted was a traditional, normative love story. This narrative not only had legs, it had control-top hose and running shoes. Fifty-three feature articles bemoaning the lonely state of career woman (and feminism's role in their unhappiness) ran between 1983 and 1986, as compared with fie during the previous three years.

Note

A note on the streaming revenue conversation you were having.

Spotify doesn’t pay the same across the board it depends on a lot of factors and it works against artists like Louis, who proportionally get paid less.

Spotify pays a percentage of their net revenue (so the money they make after paying for their expenses). I don’t think the exact percentage of net revenue they pay is known but I heard it’s about 50%.

Q1 revenue for Spotify was €3B. I have no way of knowing what the net revenue is, so I’m just gonna run with €3B, but it’s significantly less than that. So 50% is €1.5B.

Off that, they have two types of royalties.

1. Recording Royalties.

2. Publishing royalties.

1. Recording Royalties are distributed to the “rightsholders” depending on what % of total streams their activity represents. Rightsholders = label or distributor. In Louis’ case, BMG is licensed for FITF, so them. In Harry’s case, Columbia.

Rightsholders then have individual agreements with each artist. Harry’s agreement with Columbia will be incredibly favorable for him because of the circumstances in which he signed his contract. Louis… idk! Also, Columbia has a HUGE percentage of the total share of streams because, well, it’s Columbia. In comparison, BMG gets a minuscule payout.

2. Publishing royalties. Once again, the money is distributed to the rightsholders, but in this case it’s the artist’s PRO + publisher. Harry is with UMPG and Global Music Rights, Louis is with PRS. There’s the publishing rights, and the mechanical rights, and the companies get a cut.

Then the artist often has a deal with their management company where they get a % of their revenue, calculated after everything is said and done. Harry owns a percentage of his management company.

BUT there’s more, what we have to keep in mind is that Spotify net revenue isn’t generated equally. Subscription pays more than ads, and that’s one avenue in which artist’s streams can pay more or less. A lot of Louis’ streams (at least for the first week of FITF) come from fans who create accounts on Spotify to inflate his numbers, those accounts are always free. That significantly lowers his income.

And lastly, Spotify doesn’t make the same amount of money for US streams than streams in Latin America. I’m Latina, that’s why I know I pay a lot less for my subscription than people in America or Europe.

I’m from Peru, here, 1 month premium coats S/ 29.90, which is around U$D 8.17. The same premium account in America costs $9.99.

This is a breakdown of Louis’ main cities and how much they pay for Spotify in dollars:

Jakarta - U$D 3.39

Mexico City - U$S 6.53

London - U$D 12.43

Santiago - U$D 5.28

Lima - U$D 8.17

São Paulo - U$D 4.06

Buenos Aires - U$D 1.74

Melbourne - U$D 8

Delhi - U$D 1.44

Mumbai - U$D 1.44

Kuala Lumpur - U$D 3.32

Monterrey - U$D 6.53

Bandung - U$D 3.39

Quezon City - U$D 2.31

Guadalajara - U$D 6.53

Average: U$D 4.97

This is Harry:

London - U$D 12.43

Mexico City - U$D 6.53

Jakarta - U$D 3.39

São Paulo - U$D 4.06

Sydney - U$D 8

Santiago - U$D 5.28

Melbourne - U$D 8

Los Angeles - U$D 9.99

Lima - U$D 8.17

Quezon City - U$D 2.17

Chicago - U$S 9.99

Paris - U$D 10.85

New York City - U$D 9.99

Toronto - U$D 7.37

Delhi - U$D 1.44

Average: U$D 7.18. That’s nearly 45% more, just FYI.

This also applies to ads, of course. It’s a lot more expensive to place ads on Spotify in the US or the UK than doing so in Latin America.

So, Harry makes more money because:

He has a better arrangement with his rightholders

Owns a percentage of his management company

His rightholders have a higher percentage of total streams on the platform

Has vastly more streams

Is streamed in countries that make more revenue

Also, he likely has a higher % of rights on his songs. There’s songs where Louis admits he barely tweaked them. Harry has the highest percentage of ownership in all of his songs of all the collaborators (whether it’s shared or alone). PLUS Harry works with a tight knit group of people who are friends with him.

TL;DR Harry made more money in streaming off Satellite than Louis off FITF

Thanks for this - very interesting and educational.

Louis has no top cities in the US or Europe so it's no wonder he's finding it hard to sell tour dates there. He should be prioritising Latam, India and Indonesia.

Modern Successes of Tejana entrepreneurship- a look into the current landscape

Female celebrities of Latin descent wear JZD's iconic 'Pink Latina Power Tee', a Tejana made brand, in order to support the Phenomenal Women Action Campaign. All of these pictures were posted on social media during Latina Equal Pay Day in order to spread awareness on the wage disparity between Latina women compared to white men and together served as call to action to address and make steps to deal with the pay gap.

Veronica Vasquez and Jennifer Serrano are pictured above as they are the Tejana founders behind the company and JZD lifestyle brand. Amidst the uncertainty and polarization surrounding the election, the entrepreneurial couple found the inspiration for their first successful product, the 'Pink Latina Power Tee', seeking to remind themselves and others of their own personal power sparking a new wave of Latina empowerment into the mainstream.

They did get nominated, just in different categories.

People need to stop acting like Ryan stole Margot’s nomination, like him being nominated and her not is misogyny, like his category is the same as hers. He didn’t and it’s not.

Best Actor/Actress is substantially harder to be nominated in than Best Supporting Actor/Actress. Not to mention that the women who win Best Actress often have fewer job opportunities than prior to their win because of the price that comes with having an Academy Award winner attached to a project that many projects are unable, or unwilling, to pay.

Why is nobody but Ryan talking about America’s nomination?? She delivered the best monologue of the entire movie.

Oh that right, she’s Latina, the FIRST Latina women to ever be nominated in her category, so talking about her nomination doesn’t fit the narrative about how two white women not getting nominated is a step back for feminism and equality.

So, which of the five directors and actresses are we taking back a nomination for so these women can get more??

Barbie got eight nominations total, including Best Picture, the MVP of all nominations, but poor Margot and Greta for being excluded 🎻

Ryan Gosling just released a statement that directly calls out this morning’s Gerwig and Robbie snubs in best director and best actress:

#barbie #margot robbie #greta garwig #enough with the false narrative #stop with the white feminism already #it’s exhausting

EXCUSE ME WTH

Why in the world are they paying favorites in worst possibly way?!

Pls tell me you have a nice chat because if so you can definitely report it and yet then as witnesses!! And even if not, please take it into consideration because this men/women center be going around like that!! Especially if something like that didn't happen for the first time from their side...

And I mean... especially if you're getting detention, you should be able to reason with someone there!!

Also I'm very glad your got type emotions out here! I don't mind and rambling often helps so feel free to do that!

Few
