TikTok, Beyoncé, and Why We All Need a Nap In the New Year

Off Color

In this episode, Rebekah and her co-host Sam dive deep into the evolving conversations around race, identity, and cultural representation, as seen through the lens of TikTok's algorithm-driven echo chambers. The discussion explores the complexities of blackness, mixed-race identity, and the historical baggage that shapes these dialogues today. The hosts reflect on their personal experiences, generational differences, and the ways social media both amplifies and distorts these critical conversations.

Key topics include:

• The role of TikTok in fostering discussions on race and identity.
• Beyonce’s cultural significance and recent online controversies.
• The historical and social implications of the "one-drop rule."
• Personal reflections on navigating black and mixed-race identities in America.
• The intersection of art, sensitivity, and emotional resonance in addressing societal issues.

Amidst the humor and sharp critiques, this episode also touches on the emotional weight of living in a world shaped by racial hierarchies and the potential for art to inspire and heal.
