Ep 39 of What in the Shibal brings us two guests - Rebecca (@white_woman_whisperer) and Portia (@portia.noir). But first, Ed has a hard week looking for his siblings after reaching out to his sister and is not hopeful about how it's going. And a California woman who works with special needs children in Alhambra named Nancy Ng is missing under mysterious circumstances while she is on a yoga retreat in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Susie is experiencing a bout of depression of feeling numb and going through the motions on autopilot. Susie talks about her first daughter's volleyball tournament and possibly going through perimenopause. The conversation with Rebecca and Portia start with an introduction and what is it like to be a content creators as Black Women. Rebecca fights racism from having received it as a biracial woman while Portia grew up in the Midwest and how they both ended up in Chicago. Rebecca explains what cow chipping and cow bingo is. Tik Tok is used to process experiences, educate, and stand up against racism... while using their experiences to help others cope and deal with the same similar experiences around race. Doing things for 8 year old you and 80 year old you. Rebecca explains Questianinity. Comments and dms that keep everyone going and creating more content. True friends tell you that you have a booger like with racists comments. Motivation educating others and explain experience they have trying to reach others aside from their community. Don't borrow trouble. What you appreciate, appreciates. Tik Tok has been healing and doing "Childish" things. No math in our bodies. Why people get mad when you start making money off of content.
