In this episode, I share some of my critiques of Black cast members on Love Island USA and reflect on the role of critique in a digital landscape that often veers toward racism and lacks grace for Black women.
Every Friday at 1 PM AST, I host a live internet radio show called Killer Frequency, where I dive into Black diasporic culture. Subscribers get everything they need to join those live broadcasts thirty minutes before airtime—plus bonus resources to deepen the experience.
On August 29th, once the Love Island USA reunion airs, the live will be dedicated to all things Love Island.
Until then, subscribe, comment, like, share, and put me on your calendar.
Let me take you to the villa.
