Meet Jenn Mundia, singer-songwriter behind this very podcast’s intro music!  Jenn just finished Phoebe Robinson’s “You Can’t Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain,” and we just HAD to talk about it. In this episode, we dig into Phoebe’s love for black girls, the EPIC moment in black women/ Shondaland TV history (“WHY IS YOUR PENIS ON A DEAD GIRL’S PHONE?!?”), the subversive power of Phoebe’s unique style of humor and relatability, and why you should never EVER engage with “Devil’s Advocate” guy on Facebook or IRL. Find Jenn’s glorious music here, and here!   SHOW NOTES 2: 49—If Jenn’s voice sounds familiar, it’s because she’s literally the first voice you hear when you open this podcast! 3:58 – Jenn found Phoebe’s writing style very conversational, and thoroughly 2017 4:10 – My thoughts on the conversational, informal style of “You Can’t Touch My Hair,” and how her writing grounds the book without dating it. 6:20 – Phoebe is using her writing style to set the stage for what she wants to discuss about being an actor, comedian and all-around black woman in Hollywood and beyond. 6:48 – Phoebe makes a point that black hair is so integral to OUR culture, and how black hair is a THING, and how the way our hair is styled can affect how people treat us, and how we think of ourselves.     8:15– How Jenn resonates with Phoebe’s commentary on black hair, as a singer-songwriter-performer. 11:30– What Phoebe says is the single greatest moment in black woman TV history: “WHY IS YOUR PENIS ON A DEAD GIRL’S PHONE?!” 12:10– How removing Annaliese Keating’s wig removal on “How to Get Away with Murder” was “revealing” for Viola Davis as an actress, and gave us the greatest moment in Shondaland history. 13:30 – Is Jenn the “black friend” for anyone? 14:00 – Why Phoebe says not to become friends with any new white people in summer. 14:30 – My favorite way to not become the “black friend” is to NOT to keep talking to the “Devil’s Advocate Guy.” 14:45 – You know the “Devil’s Advocate Guy.” His posts on Facebook usually start with, “I never start with my opinions on Facebook…”   15:00 – Brionna’s “Devil’s Advocate Guy” story, and how she disengaged from his shenanigans (TRIGGER WARNING: We discuss the N-word from 13:45-17:30i) 17:45 – Jenn’s OPP recommendations: “The Black Guy Who Tips” because it’s “super informative and ratchet”; “Another Round” because it’s great to see black girls thriving; “Storycorps” for the amazing interviews of families and friends interviewing each other. 18:45 – My book rec for Jenn is Issa Rae’s “The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl.” 17:55 – Find Jenn Mundia at jennmundia.com and on Facebook, Instagram, iTunes.
