Quality representation of brown and dark skinned women is not so easy to come by. Jukebox Jones joins on this episode to talk about erasure and the media's concerted effort to make multiracial women representative for all Black women. We discuss how this harms darker skinned Black women and why we're so reluctant to put boundaries around blackness.
