About this episode

In this powerful episode of All Rights Reserved, host Yolanda Taylor—"The People’s Attorney"—is joined by Emmy Award-winning producer, digital media executive, and founder of Sintra Creative Company, LaMonique Hamilton.Together, they dive deep into the concept of narrative curation, exploring who gets to control the stories told about Black women in today’s political and cultural landscape. From the persistent attacks on figures like Michelle Obama to the historical co-opting of Black women’s voices, Yolanda and LaMonique dissect the tension between media bias, respectability politics, and self-determination. They also examine how technology and digital spaces like "Black Threads" allow Black women to bypass traditional media gatekeepers, build safe spaces, and unapologetically own their truth.Key Takeaways:Defining Curation: Why curation is a two-way street—choosing both what you put into the world and what you allow into your space.The Myth of Objectivity: How corporate-owned media and implicit bias shape news coverage, and why community-driven storytelling matters.Rejecting Respectability: The myth of needing to be "twice as good" and the importance of speaking without cleaning up language for the masses.Reclaiming Black Womanhood: Why Black women must stand as the sole authors of their own narratives, regardless of political or social backlash.
