Heavy on the colorism conversation. I’m not dark skinned and even I see how harsh people are to darker skinned women. Like, no matter what, they can do nothing right. Look at what’s happening to Doechii. Also, when you mention “manic pixie dream girl” I immediately thought of the “biracial/lightskin hippie” trope

Mel

Clock that the boyfriend is wearing a sweater and a beanie but the girlfriend wearing a athleisure jacket is apparently the problem. They're dressed to the same level, but it's only unacceptable for her.

Ian

Candace Owens need to lay down somewhere omfg

victoria

The boyfriend posting her is exactly what got them up in arms.

rudi!!!

when you talked about the difference b/w light-skinned and dark-skinned women and how they're discussed online, I immediately thought about the online reaction of Arnell Armon becoming a single mom vs Skai Jackson announcing her pregnancy. both of their baby daddies suck, but only the biracial gets a sympathy edit while Skai gets told she's a dummy for getting knocked up in the first place

i think the biggest part of this discourse for me is: okay cool, you think it’s strange that she got on lululemon during a nice dinner date. that’s your prerogative. why comment on it online? social media makes people think their first thought needs to be the one that gets said instead of *thinking* about what you allow yourself to say about someone else publicly.

Manna Steel

OK VOCABULARY “low vibrational” 😝😝

Manna Steel

SAMEEE

Manna Steel

Projection will literally be the end of the human race omfg

Not sure where we’re supposed to make requests for office hours, but what are your thoughts on Candace Owens’ theory that the French First Lady is trans and that she is also the president’s bio parent?

Dolly

I’m so glad you clocked it on the colorism discourse because, you are absolutely right. I see it in media too- ie sexyy redd and the way people treat her for daring to do the same thing her light skin counterparts are doing.

Shady Tyrell

Black people project onto other people A LOT.

Khala Boyd

Off topic but cecred is coming to Ulta 🎉 i’m excited

marcelina

you opened my mind with this video like 😭

T.H.

The ‘be mindful when you’re in the section’ girls are soooo annoying!!!!

Snazzy Jazzy

I CAN’T believe I’ve been on Kenya's Patreon since 2020… and here we are in 2025. Love it here 💕

Abisola

Isn’t Kenya engaged??? But even if she wasn’t, her and her man have been together for how long?? I say that to say whoever is trying to give her unsolicited advice on how to keep her man needs to shut the hell up.

ceeitrus

this is such low vibrational discourse it almost makes me laugh but it’s just the sad reality of ppl that chronically live online, one thing about black ppl is mfs will always be able to generate discourse over unserious things and this takes the cake I fear, they’re used to ppl being performative for the internet they forget internet perception is not reality, so when they see regular ppl doing regular ppl things it’s like blasphemy and it’s giving loser , like why do y’all gaf this lady is wearing lulu lemon to dinner, most of y’all don’t even got a man or a girl to take y’all to dinner like omg get a life 😭

Mampho Ledimo

Kenya! OMG!! Is that an engagement ring? 😍💍

Nysh

they need to start sitting with themselves and genuinely asking “what is this all really for?” because we as a people cannot survive like this 😭

Nysh

social media has truly rotted the souls of so many people and it’s sad to see. ive had my little chronically online moment like the rest of us but sitting there and tearing strangers apart online? i never got to that level bc at the end of day, i mind the business that pays me and i don’t know these people! i have hope but sometimes i think we truly may never recover 😔

Nini

you're so right about ppl living in misery. unrelated to race but this gay couple posted a pic of their valentine's date on twitter and the quotes and replies tore them apart from their looks to the quality of the pasta they were eating 😭

Janais

I have been off social media for a couple of months and it’s made me more aware of how miserable people are on social media.

Dani

Shrinking in my seat because I’m a general appreciator of the Kardashians but I’m not a STAN Stan of them. My mom and my niece on the other hand are Stan’s lol 😂 😂 I feel badly for Idiots Online dragging that girl for what she was wearing. Who cares what she’s wearing?!?!?! Is your man taking you out to see PND and Drake for dinner?!

Nyesha C.

I've bought some clothing items from Temu, haven't had a problem with my card info being stolen. There is an option to purchase through PayPal for more security. But some of their clothing items are a hit and miss 😅. Like some of the sweaters and t-shirts are ok or cheaply made. But other items I've bought are pretty good for the price you, plus you can always return item and get a refund.

Nyesha C.

I can understand people being upset for wearing Lululemon because of the racism people have been receiving while shopping at their store, but to be upset for her wearing it on her date 🙄, it ain't that big of a deal.

Brie

but i refuse to buy anything from temu lmaooo not even being fake bougie, im just scared temu gonna steal my card info/identity 😭

Brie

me trying on my new shein order while listening to this 👁️👄👁️

Halimaa

Clock it!

Halimaa

I’m glad u mentioned the black women obsessed w/ the Kardashians being the common denominator for the corny elitist side of black twitter!

Korli Bridges

Unfortunately chile

Beverly Burgess

Bey said Let them eat cake!

Mai

Let her lurk

Abisoye

black women who love/stan the kar-jenners are so annoying and backwards. because they do shit like make fun/look down at dark skin black women for wearing lululemon to a michelin star restaurant as if the kar-jenners are the pinnacle of class and status

Neria Ekem

It’s interesting how there was was a time where lululemon increased your status and then later on when a darker skin woman wears it that somehow that makes her less?

germaninatlanta

I'm a snob. But, but, but, I would NEVER speak on someone's life like that. And my attitude is not rooted in money but taste. Like don't tell me you love Mexican food but then don't know any of the hole in the wall places off of Buford hwy and your favorite spot is Frontera. All that to say, it all boils down to if you're focused on yourself, you don't care what the next person is doing. Unless you tell me your favorite Mexican place is Taco Mac 👀

M.rachelle

I would encounter this ghetto fab dynamic when I worked at the strip clubs. Some of the girls (usually light skinned) would act like they’re so much better, but you here shaking ass like I’m shaking ass and you been here longer! 💯

M.rachelle

The way I had no idea about this situation 😂 the world is terrible

Beverly Burgess

Same. No social media for me. I’m watching this thinking “Is this what yall talk about on Twitter? Monkeys, for real!”

Troy King

This made me think of Ubah and Bryn in the new housewives!

Troy King

wait aint you off twitter?

Chloé

God this makes me so glad I deleted my social media… it’s so sad the way everyone talks about each other online. Like this beautiful lady was not asking us for fashion advice therefore why do people need to say it? People are so miserable and jealous that this couple was “chosen” to get their meal paid by Drake and wanted to take this young lady down a peg because they think they’re more “deserving” smh!! If you were alone on valentines you should’ve been ordering a pizza and watching a movie like God intended. But what’s sad is I bet some of the people commenting are actually in relationships, but so addicted to drama and their phones that they had more fun tearing down this beautiful woman instead of spending quality time with their partner. Just sad.

Alivia

Yo - this is a whole thinkpiece. I can make response videos that expand on all of these talking points. Everything that Kenya said about black Americans - I talked about this in the problem with jack and Jill

Alivia

You don’t have a real girlfriend if your girlfriend is dark skin? I’ve never heard that

Alivia

Omg - wait Kenya can you make a video about manic pixie dream girls - I didn’t know you like sad girl music

Alivia

Also Kendall Jenner is the answer to asap rocky - he got like REALLY lucky with Rihanna

Alivia

Also - I think there is a certain amount of defend yourself that the girl in the jacket needed to display. If people were commenting mean things on her page, she can read them or just say leave me alone and block. But also no one cares about those haters anyway.

Alivia

The read - for the regular wanna be girlies deserves to be on “THE READ” podcast

Alivia

The talking point about dark skinned girls and people and the humbling dip on chip also applies to feminine black girls in white spaces

Alivia

Omg - yes. Jacky aina and her position is such a weird space. It’s so scary to watch. Jacky created THE space for black beauty influencers and the other black girls not all but many show no respect. She should be playing that song by Beyoncé that is like BOW down bitches. I think it’s one of the reasons other people in the beauty space white beauty brands can’t give her enough because the other black girls are not supporting in the way the white girls are. Take for example the love Emma chamberlain gets from white girls on the internet. There are other white girls in the space but it’s not hate Emma - it’s support Emma in every way

Alivia

Wow - so TRUE black women who follow the karTRASHIANS is a level of toxic that is intolerable. I went to high school with Kim’s old PA and those girls are the WORST

Alivia

Joules Lowell has been making so much content about how black women cause harm to other black women

Alivia

People think instagram for regular people is a fashion show. If these people want to be fashion critics we have real fashion shows and celebrity events where you can pick apart FASHION

Zaynab Abigail

Yes would love to know this too! This season is a mess 😭

Zaynab Abigail

I saw the photo of the girl on the date and thought wow she’s so beautiful disappointed but not surprised that the conversation on twitter turned to policing her outfit 🤦🏾‍♀️

Adrienne C

Where I live lululemon is appropriate for every occasion (home, the gym, dates, work…) I have definitely worn it to a restaurant on a date lol

Korli Bridges

How do you feel about Beyonce not turning off dynamic pricing for her concerts?

Dynasty Andrews

This is exactly why people say that people on social media be mad at anything and everything. How are you going to be upset about what another woman wore on the Valentine’s date that her man was treating her to???

Korli Bridges

This same rhetoric of Black people wanting to “friends” with the light skin girl reminds me of how Black people want to be accepted in white spaces so bad and they don’t even realize that’s the downfall of

Dynasty Andrews

Got my Taco Bell ready 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

Jayden Brown

fake boujie black ppl are the worst category of black ppl. What do you mean you won’t take the metro uptown bc you refuse to use public transportation. What do you mean you won’t go thrifting bc you hate second hand shopping but you got shein packages coming to your apartment every other day. I ran into so many of these types in college and they were all insufferable!

Korli Bridges

40 min video? Oh get your plates chirren we eating good tonight

Korli Bridges

New location unlocked!

Jenna Jackson

Kenya, what’s ur opinion on the new Love Is Blind season?

Vic

Heavy on that Kardashian fan avoiding. Add in Zeus watchers for good mesure.

aliya

bc even the way he posted the pictures, for them to notice what she was wearing was just pure dry hating.

Wesley Lindsey

I’ll never forget when Jackie told a bunch of STRANGERs on the internet not to call her auntie and they immediately started psycho analyzing her and calling her all kinds of bitches

Wesley Lindsey

Everyone on the internet thinks they’re an intellectual so they give these think pieces and they drag everythingggg. Bunch of people that are bored, miserable, and not smart at all.

carly gill

“Imma order an oxtail with a lemon drop” “Not the pretty light skin! Not *squeal* not *squeal*!” “…La La La La La La La and…big black ape…” 🧚 🦍 “You wearing ASOS finest.” This was chock-full of comic relief! 🤣🤣

Sydni Branche

Clock itttt

Imani Branch

we both laughed at the same time when you said ‘descendants of slaves’ cuz WHAT 😭😭😭

Imani Branch

i love a strawberry cake from jewel-osco

carly gill

Right?! It took a turn so sharp that my brain shifted a little. Especially when seeing the thumbnail, my initial thought was, ‘oh she’s pretty, whoever this is”.

carly gill

Kenya: “…they want to be in that number” Immediately me: 🎶 Oh Lord they waannnnnttt to be in that NUMBERRRR, when the lightskins marching in🎶

Marissa Pindel

"Let a dark skin woman's man mess up" I instantly thought of how ppl treat JT and Uzi

Chris

Speaking of couches, where are you going? I want to go to Blu Dot but I also don’t want to spend $2,000 on an apartment couch.

JT

I’m only a few mins in……. Goodness GRACIOUS! Misery loves company but damn they really out and proud with this shit. How bitches mad at what I got on for MYYYYYY Valentine’s Day date?? 😵‍💫
