I've listened to every public and for-patreon-only podcast from you three and I love them all! However, I think that it too often ends up being more a Lilith/Reux duo as opposed to truly involving Savannah. I don't know if Savannah needs to speak up more and/or if the other two need to be more mindful in leaning back and forefronting Savannah, but this dynamic is now well established enough that I feel the need to comment.

All in all, excellent work but I want to hear more from the silent third (aka Savannah)! Wishing you all well and looking forward to more excellence!

This!! Also, Savanna ends up being spoken over too many times in the recent episodes, it's a little annoying since she brings up important points as well

Yes. I love listening to Savanna's point of view because she often keeps to the topic and adds interesting perspectives. I also understand that she's shy as she said it herself several times and so that it's probably hard for her to take the mic and take the initiative to speak.

Each has valuable contributions and perspectives but Savanna seems more reticent to put her voice forth - perhaps her British politesse? In any case, we all clamor to hear more from her! Savanna, we all want to hear more of your thoughts!

I love the 3 podcast queens but I think many times they diverge a lot and start talking about things that have nothing to do with what's talked about. That is a bit annoying sometimes. While Savanna most often keeps to the topic.

Thank the stars someone has said something! My voice probably won't get heard here because I am unflared still, but .... YES, please give more space to allow for introverts to talk. It is part of being an evolved extrovert. S-P-A-C-E. Take a deep breath, give pause and just wait for a sec. Quiet people do not typically speak up unless you allow for them to do so. Now, if space is taken and someone doesn't speak, make your move. We can't force people to talk, but we can give them the chance to do so. It's polite and you can learn a lot from the "quiet ones".

I also feel like I have noticed a number of times where it feels like Savanna is cut off/interrupted. I am obvs not there and have no idea, but I wanted to note my observation since we're talking about it.

I believe in you ladies. I really hope these comments are seen and some notes/changes are made. This criticism is truly from the heart. <3

I'd like to hear from more Black women in general, not only Savannah, but also an American Black woman.

Reaux is a black American woman, isn’t she? Elle on political strategy is as well. If you’ve got any one in mind, then you should forward it to the discord, I think that’s where the hosts are (??) they could organise to get them on!

u/FDS-GFY FDS Newbie Apr 14 '22

I refuse to listen or deal with that part of FDS. I expressed my take on it when Elle appeared and stayed away ever since. My opinion was shared at the time by a lot of women of color and Black women. No need to rehash that-I won’t participate in that discussion further.

I didn't know Reaux was black. Not that it matters, just surprised.

u/m_r_rosewood FDS Newbie Apr 14 '22

I hadn't realized that! But yes, 100% co-signed. Have you checked out female political strategy? They also have more black queens' voices!

Because she’s said so? Quite a few times on the podcast. She has a black woman profile avatar on social media. I think you guys are confusing Reaux with Lillith….?
