That Girl, Jenna Curacoa's Podcast


"Be Careful Before You Become What You Detest" Podcast Overview

3 Major Talking points: 1. Women's Renaissance Empowerment Offensive Art 2. Health Crisis 3.  Film: Death Sentence and Checking Your Thoughts

Intro: Hello and hope you're doing well whenever you're seeing this, hearing this, or reading this. I'm your host, That Girl, Jenna Curacoa. I go Live on Facebook and Youtube Monday through Saturday 2323 (11:23PM). I'm on Blog Spot, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest.


Segment 1: Been reading comments from the most recent issue of CA Educator magazine August/September regarding the cover photo of their June/July issue, severely critiquing a rendition of Birth of Venus and Rosie The Riveter. Most posted comments are focused her looks and features. Can a woman not be simply a woman? It's also an animated depiction, but still. One quote: "Too bad an artist did not create an image of blended ethnic heritage to reflect the changing demographic of teachers in our population."

What happened to inclusion? Everyone counts? You're doing exactly what you're claiming not to like. Why are you judging this woman's depiction? Why are you severely critiquing the artist's work? Whether or not you agree with finished product, your severe criticism is the reason so many people are too fearful to embark on their dreams. Open the magazine and there is a wealth of diversity. "Hair Love" is shared within the pages, a black father attempting to style his daughter's luscious hair while their mother is away.

When I first look at this front cover https://www.cta.org/educator/posts/union-renaissance
Illustration by Bob Venables what I see is a hard working woman. I see the original painting, mixed with another revolutionary era, mixed with our current events. And if you'd look closer you'd realize this depiction is much more telling and more disturbing than what you're "offended by."

Segment 2: Health crisis plaguing our country. White women affected by infertility. Black women affected as well with several health concerns. Women need to approach one another differently. Empowerment starts with our choices, starting with our thoughts. Personal experience, coming from a mixed background and daughter with pale complexion and colored eyes, despite ethnic heritage. Bringing up that story Hair Love. It also depicts the health crisis plaguing everyone. 

Segment 3: Film,  Death Sentence. Great warning for retaliation and Potentially Becoming What You Detest. Our Thoughts also need to be held accountable even if no one else knows what you're thinking. It catches up to you, affects your overall health in long run. Ultimately, myself included, be careful where your thoughts lead you before you become the person you don't like.

Closing: Hope whenever you're consuming this content, hope you're doing well. Tomorrow will be discussing more of the health crisis hitting our country. Black women's health concerns with stats and articles. Talking as well about the fertility rates within White women with stats and articles. Overall, mental health crisis is severe. Many riddled with anxiety and depression. Some of the best ways to improve mental health is to change your thinking.

(Perspective) Biblical: Freedom In The House Of Mourning

Countless times I've expressed the expansive variety of options we're gifted here on Earth. Why do we limit ourselves to options ABCD, though? We're told we have free will. We're told we can do what we want with our bodies and choose when to have kids  But what does it really look like to have free will? I'll tell you now. Not caring about the options at all. Seeing everything as a gift. Realizing this world was designed to be enjoyed and lived in to the fullest extent possible. Again, why limit ourselves to simple options? Pick whatever car you want (as long as it's the color options they've presented you with.) Eat whatever type of french fry, icecream, or food that is available on the menu list at your favorite restaurant. We have personal preferences and there's nothing wrong with having options and opinions. The question poised here is simple: Are you really free, or just given options?  I was blessed to hear a wonderful sermon that presented this w...
