Welcome back to Main Event Mamas, where Kiara and Tanesha are body-slamming the everyday grind! 🏋️♀️ This week, we're diving deep into a topic that's been weighing on our spirits: Why is it so hard to cultivate and maintain strong friendships as Black women?
From the realization that our friend groups shrink as we age to noticing a difference in long-term friendships compared to others, we unpack the pressures that can complicate sisterhood. Could the "Strong Black Woman" trope make vulnerability impossible? Is there an underlying sense of competition and comparison—in the boardroom, in the gym, and even in our beloved wrestling world (Hello, Jade, Bianca, and Trinity/Naomi!)? 🤔 We discuss everything from the media we consume (shout out to Scandal!) to why we secretly wait for the "shoe to drop" when powerful Black women succeed together.
In this episode, we tackle:
The challenge of making new friends as adults.
The pressure of the "Strong Black Woman" façade.
The pervasive feeling of competition vs. celebration among Black women.
How this dynamic plays out in high-level wrestling moments.
