Just Drawz - The Podcast

This show, DMC and Jeff wrap up the “Performative” series with “Performative Blackness” having already covered Performative Masculinity and Performative Queerness.

We explore the concept of performative Blackness, discussing its historical roots, contemporary interpretations, and personal experiences with identity. Then delve into the expectations and stereotypes associated with being Black, the impact of social media, and the nuances of language within the Black community.

We touch on cultural appropriation and the challenges of explaining Black culture to others, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and reflection in navigating these complex topics. The dialogue also touches on interracial relationships and the societal expectations surrounding Black identity, ultimately emphasizing the importance of embracing one's authentic self without the need for performance.

“Just… Acting Black”

_______________________________

Takeaways:

Performative Blackness is a dynamic and socially constructed identity.
Historical performances often relied on stereotypes and distorted representations.
Contemporary Black performers use their art to resist racism and explore identity.
Code-switching is a common experience for many black individuals in different spaces.
Social media can amplify performative aspects of identity.
Language and vernacular play a significant role in cultural expression.
Cultural appropriation raises questions about appreciation versus exploitation.
Proximity to Blackness can influence how individuals express their identity.
Authenticity in Blackness can be a feeling rather than a definition.
Navigating spaces of Blackness can vary based on comfort levels.
Rejecting respectability politics is crucial for authenticity.
Blackness is expansive and encompasses a wide range of experiences.
Our Blackness does not need to be validated by others.

Just Drawz - The Podcast

It’s Thanksgiving week, family! And we recorded an episode about food and our relationship with it. But the conversation took a little bit of a shift as we ended up talking about body image and social media. Let’s call it a ‘side’ to the entree of our main conversation.

This is an expanded show that runs a little bit longer than we normally go for one sitting but we think this dish is best served hot and complete.

_______________________________

Takeaways:

Social media can significantly impact self-image.
Early food memories can affect what we like and don’t like as adults.
Pound cake, peach cobbler, and banana pudding are soul food stables.
Likes on social media can serve as a form of validation.
There is a noticeable difference in engagement between innocent and provocative posts.
People may seek motivation from the validation they receive online.
Social media can create a cycle of seeking approval through likes.
Understanding this dynamic is crucial for mental health awareness.
Awareness of these patterns can lead to healthier social media habits.

Just Drawz - The Podcast

In this episode, we dig into performative queerness—how queer identity is expressed, curated, and sometimes judged in today’s world. We talk social media, authenticity, fast fashion, family dynamics, and the pressure to perform for both online and offline audiences. It’s a real conversation about identity, expression, and the power of being true to yourself—even when the world’s watching. We wrap up with ways one can unlearn and check one’s own performativity as well.

“Just… Unclear for Queer”

Shout-out to Judith Butler: Queer performativity is rooted in her work where she argued that gender is not something one is, but something one does through repeated acts. When we put that in terms of queer theorising, it is about delinking gender, sex and sexuality (Lind, 2009) by showing that these elements do not have a linear relationship to each other based on biology. So, for the purpose of this episode, we wanted to address what her work in ‘gender performativity’ means for queerness today.

Lind, A. (2009). Governing intimacy, struggling for sexual rights: Challenging heteronormativity in the global development industry.

Development, 52(1), 34-42.

_______________________________

Takeaways:

- Queer identity is constructed through behavior, not fixed by nature.- Social media shapes—and often pressures—how queerness is presented.- Authenticity is essential, but hard to maintain in curated spaces.- Style and self-expression are valid forms of queer identity.- Family, community, and social dynamics impact how we show up.- Unlearning performance can lead to more honest, grounded queerness.

The Talking Stage timeline debate from Twitter and X was too irresistible for us not to tackle on Just Drawz. We break down the progression of dating in to six stages.

Is your "Talking Stage" another man's "Dating Stage?" Let's align on what these mean and provide our perspective and give you some of our personal stories.

"Just... The Six Stages of Dating"

_______________________________

Takeaways:

Every stage of this dating journey has its own lessons.

Some people are milestone based while others are chronological based for progression.

It's important to communicate openly about feelings and expectations.

Respecting each other's space is crucial in a relationship.

Understanding your partner's love language can enhance the relationship.

Labels in relationships help define boundaries for others.

There is no perfect timeline for relationships; it's about what works for you.
