We're keeping it real
Black without the Magic was designed by Joya Peasant as a Girl Scouts Gold Award project. The host is Joya and co hosts are Eliza, Jamarri, and Tosin. The podcast is to address the lack of communication for black community issues and experiences, and is an outlet to gain understanding for the importance of communication on the issues in the community. Every situation does not have a magical solution, we would like to create an option to communicate these solutions to the community to improve their understanding about certain topics and issues, such as careers, college, division between Black and non-Black Americans, relationships and many other topics.

Joya, Tosin, and Eliza talk about the idea of peaceful protesting and how the issue can get violence and cause outrage from people. Eliza chose the topic so therefore she was the one to lead the idea. Joya brings in parallels from tv shows and movies that she has seen.

The girls talk about the meaning of the n-word and why they refuse to say it or have anyone say it to them. After that, they open up about the grief they had when other people say it in front of them and when other people say. Then Eliza, Tosin, and Joya come up with a word that people could say instead of using the n-word. Political tangents ensue.

The episode of Black without the Magic with a new male voice, Dwight, all about Careers with input from the people interviewed by Joya. They talk jobs as someone who is Black and touch on degrees and imposter syndrome. Racial discrimination and empowerment with the job become a topic and more before Eliza shows up (late). Then with the full co-hosts job associated with African American become the main topic.

Honestly, they are going to talk about media so much so this is considered Part I. Joya upset after the backlash of the New Little Mermaid casting wanted to talk about the Little Mermaid and character that have changed race in media and so the girls talk about the racebending on characters, the token Black character and whether companies are lazy.

With missing our now ex-Podcast member Jamarri and Joya here but sick, the girls talk about the peril of Colorism as girls in their own personal experience or lack thereof. Joya, the light skin member, Eliza, the brown skin member, and Tosin, the dark skin member all talk about what they know and have said about the topic of Colorism with if one has contributed to the idea unconsciously or not. Also from the stories of other people and their experiences as well. Stereotypes, concerns, and what to do about this come up (as well as their non-black friend Aayush a lot).
