Hosts Justin Stewart and Dr. Antija Allen are joined by Shenequa Golding, author of the 2024 title Black Girl in the Middle: Essays on (Allegedly) Figuring it All Out. Golding is a writer and an editor whose work focuses on race, gender, popular culture, and entertainment. Earning a degree in print journalism from Hampton University, Golding began her career for a small newspaper owned by the Chicago Sun-Times. A native New Yorker, Golding returned to her roots as an entertainment writer. Her work, both on-camera and in print, has appeared in prominent Black publications such as Vibe and Essence, as well as mainstream outlets, including Complex, the Associated Press, BBC, and Vanity Fair. Her essay, “Maintaining Professionalism in The Age of Black Death is . . . A Lot,” published on Medium in May 2020, has received 990K views to date. When not writing, Shenequa can be found watching The Golden Girls reruns, listening to her favorite true crime podcast, or geeking out whenever someone compliments her nails knowing they’re press-ons from Walgreens.
