Join us in laughing at the absurdity of a so-called postracial world! We sip some tea with Danielle Morgan and chat about race and humor, #BlackGirlMagic, and navigating graduate school as a women of color with a family. Danielle just earned her PhD in English with a project about comedy and satire in African American culture and literature (congrats!). We talk about race, intent, and audience in Hamilton the musical and the work of Dave Chappelle and Aziz Ansari. There's also the #BlackGirlMagic of women like Ava DuVernay, Michelle Obama, Beyonce, and so many others. What considerations go into finding a supportive partner and having children when you're a woman in academia? (Subsidized child care at conferences!) Danielle is one of the co-hosts of the Black Girl Magic podcast which highlights amazing black women. Check them out! https://soundcloud.com/blackgirlmagicpod
