Coffee No Cream Summer Rewind #2 – Black Girl Mean Energy

"Black women, Black girls are mean. And you know it.

I know it. We are." That's how this one starts, and I'm not exempting myself from it.

This is part two of our Summer Rewind series, not a rerun, a new conversation built from clips across the last 62 episodes. Dr.

Lydia Bullock admits she was "a jealous girl" growing up and had to do the internal work to unlearn it. Abby The Attorney tells the story of a colleague, Erica, who showed up as her full, unapologetic self, and how appalled Abby was by it, until she realized years later what that respectability cost her.

Shaquana Hughes talks about the very real difference in trust and pushback she gets from Black women clients versus white ones in her own business. And clinical psychologist Dr.

Mel Robinson-Brown breaks down the actual difference between envy and jealousy, and gives us real language for checking ourselves before we check anybody else. I also read some of the comments you left on past episodes, because a lot of you have lived this too.

This isn't a finger-pointing video. It's an invitation to look at where we might be the problem, not just where we've been hurt by one.
