“We all have opinions and everybody has a right to that, but people also have a right to just live their life,” Nash tells
theGrio during a recent sit-down with Managing Editor Gerren Keith Gaynor.
“Some people are so negative and so mean, you know, and you say, why would I ever want to listen to you? Why would you even think that is the way to speak to somebody, to judge somebody, to be toward another individual?”
From the global pandemic, Megan Thee Stallion’s shooting and the Black Lives Matter movement, to the presidential elections, this year has been action-packed.
As 2020 draws to a close, the
Dear Culture podcast rewinds the tapes with our talented duo,
theGrio’s Social Media Director
Shana Pinnock and Managing Editor
Gerren Keith Gaynor.
Looking back at this unprecedented and historical year, our hosts ask: “Dear Culture, as we reflect on 2020, what have we learned?”
“We are still having to emphasize Black women,” says Gaynor to Pinnock.
Without a doubt, protecting Black women has been one of the year’s biggest conversations. Pinnock notes that this year shouldn’t be the first time people think about supporting Black women. Whether it was or wasn’t, it was largely the work of Black women remembering and supporting other Black women that ruffled the proverbial feathers.
