“I love podcasts and find it hard to locate podcasts that are fun AND informative that speak to my interests as a 50 year old African American woman. This podcast does that! From politics to pop culture to health and wellness, The Cousins discuss it all.
A recent podcast with Toure’ did not land well with me for several reasons. This is the same Toure’ that faced allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace 2 years ago, which was highly concerning to me and I don’t recall any real dialogue in the Black community (which I am a member of) about the allegations. I do remember a sort of silence and dismissal of the allegations, which doesn’t give space for women to be heard. There was no mention of the allegations in the podcast...which I did not expect...however Toure’ made comments that were insensitive and from a place of privilege that were glossed over.
For example, in his recounting of how he and his wife got the vaccine, he described the pharmacy that offered the vaccine as “ghetto” and is intimated that the Black folks that were in line for lotto tickets instead of the vaccine were “ghetto”, too. *crickets* In his remarks about DMX days after his passing he shared a story about DMX having a woman to his hotel room that left her phone number on the windshield of his truck after she spotted him at a mall. In his comments he mentioned earlier that night he was present when DMX was professing his love to his child’s mother (who he was in a relationship with) during a heated phone conversation. Relevance? *crickets*. Absolutely none.
To their credit, the cousins worked to move past the privileged comments Toure’ made and did not follow him down those unnecessary paths. It would have affirming to hear the cousins challenge Toure’s comments or at least counter them with positive comments meant to diminish those comments. I am hopeful Toure’ listens to his comments on the podcast and reflects on how he could have shown up less privileged and more empathetic, which is exactly how the cousins show up on the podcast.
Overall, a good listen and the cousins have great chemistry. I am so glad they are back after a break and I can’t wait to hear from them for the duration of 2021. All good things...”
