In an exclusive conversation with about the series, Monique Chenault, president of Revolt Black News Production, said the show came about as an avenue through which Black women’s voices could be amplified.
“One of the things that we really were intentional about increasing was the voice of Black women, and finally presenting a diversity of thought when it came to Black women … It was really important that we show that Black women are not a monolith. There’s room for all of us at the table,”Chenault, who joined Revolt one year ago, said that it was important to select co-hosts from diverse backgrounds.
Chenault told that the 44-minute series will focus on trending topics — both light-hearted and serious — including COVID, the dominance of Black women in hip-hop culture, influencers and the “communication gap”There is a difference between Black men, and Black women.
Each host has a strong social media presence. Obilor is a reporter, Renee is a radio personality and actress, and Ffriend is a media executive and digital content creator. Brixx is a model-entrepreneur.
“It’s really important because Black women have been the backbone of Black culture and have contributed so much — whether it be economically, politically — that we finally give them a real platform to express themselves in a really meaningful way,”Chenault concluded.
“Black Girl Stuff” will air on Revolt’s linear platforms on Tuesday, Aug. 2, with new episodes premiering weekly at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET.
