About this episode

Taylor A. Williams and Samirah Raheem discuss the complexities of Black womanhood, visibility, and the importance of protection over performance.

What does it mean to be seen, but not truly understood? In this episode of I.AM.WOMAN, Taylor sits down with model, activist, and storyteller Samirah Raheem for a powerful conversation on Black womanhood, visibility, healing, identity, and the responsibility that comes with having a voice. Together, they explore what it means to protect Black women, navigate a world that often misunderstands women, and build a life and legacy rooted in purpose. Plus, things get a little spicy during “Love It or Leave It” as they share their unfiltered thoughts on topics like red pill content, hustle culture, social media activism, dating apps, and more. This is a conversation about being seen, being heard, and showing up fully as yourself.
