Summary

Liz spends the first 30 minutes talking about how influencers, including the Teen Mom cast, have been talking on social media this week. She encourages you to be critical of how white creators are using/not using their platforms, and to support black podcast creators - some of her favorites are: - Everyone's Business But Mine - Mixing with Mani - Bodega Boys - Bye Pumkin - The Nod - DUNZO! - Why Won't you Date Me Also, check out Beauty 2 the Streetz - a great charity that provides resources to homeless women. Oh, and... Mackenzie McKee is a liar and Ryan and Mack Edwards are true blue idiots!

0:00.0	Welcome to Feathers in My Hair, a teen mom deep dive podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bentley.
0:11.0	Hi guys. How are we? Oh God, I'm not good on about 18 levels. Today is Saturday as I record this as usual, but I'm recording this at my
0:23.5	dad's house because the power has been out in my house since Wednesday at noon. Yes, you heard that
0:30.0	right. I've been without power for 71 hours at this point. It is insane. We had a really bad quick thunderstorm on Wednesday where a ton of
0:40.0	trees came down in the afternoon around noon and we lost power, but it was like, okay, we'll come back.
0:45.5	But then Wednesday night, we had a second really bad storm. So many trees are down and we still don't
0:50.4	have power. Thank God my dad has power so I can be over here, but this isn't my home.
0:56.3	I want to be at my house. I just want to go home. So that, if there's background noise,
1:03.0	I don't know what to tell you. It just, this is a weird week. I can't force everybody to be

1:12.6	Of course.
1:13.9	Okay.
1:14.8	The other thing.
1:17.5	Obviously, the world is... I wouldn't say the world is burning.
1:19.8	It seems like a lot of the burning has stopped, but the world is still on fire.
1:25.3	I'm very cognizant of that. I want to say that I, you know, I've seen a lot of
1:33.1	white podcasters take the week off in an effort to amplify black voices. And I'm going to be
1:42.1	honest that I don't get it. I don't get that. I don't get how you taking time off
1:51.0	is amplifying anything. I think the reality is that if you have a podcast that has a mostly
1:59.1	white audience, your mostly white audience probably only
2:03.7	consumes mostly white content. So you not like podcasting that week, I don't think is doing
2:11.4	anything to amplify black voices. I think it's kind of a cop out, to be honest. I also think, I don't know, maybe I'm just
