Season 1 Bonus: Hulu's Little Fires Everywhere Commentary
In this week's episode, we discuss our thoughts about the hit Hulu limited series called Little Fires Everywhere. Listen as we discuss the impact of everyday racism and micro and macro aggressions on our mental health.
We also discuss motherhood and mothering, and the desperate actions one may take to have a sense of belonging and to be loved the way that they want to be loved. Thank you, Frantzces, for “forcing” us to watch this show. Stay tuned for Season 2!!!
Key takeaways from this episode include:
1. Take the time to identify where you are in your racial identity development Be mindful and aware of how your racial identity development phase impacts your perception of the world and people who differ from you.
2. Whatever you do in the dark will always come to light. Little Fires eventually become one big fire. Find the courage to live your truth.
3. This is a reminder to us all that children are resilient. As long as a child has one person to connect to that cares and empowers them, they will grow and flourish into adulthood.
4. Do you watch “social work” movies on your days off? Please remember to find a balance between watching intense dramas and documentaries with comedies and light-hearted entertainment.
5. We love you Olivia Pope and we love you Kerry Washington. We love you Jesse Williams.
Until next time, remember to live, laugh, love, and keep it real.
