Black Women Talk Back | Truth, Power, Strength & Survival | On The Town With Tanya (S5 Ep.1)Black women are often discussed, analyzed, and judged — but rarely heard.In this Season 5 premiere of On The Town With Tanya, we change that.This episode centers on the Black Woman Agenda — real experiences, real data, and real conversations about how race and gender shape the daily lives of Black women in America. From healthcare and childbirth to media narratives, beauty standards, and technology, this panel breaks down where the systems fail — and how Black women continue to lead anyway.Mainstream media often highlights negative statistics about Black women without context or comparison.
