Alana J. Webster is a fashion and feminism loving native Angeleno who hails from Venice, CA, She is the daughter of an African American retired educator for the Long Beach Unified School District and an African American judge who still works to keep LA's streets clean and safe today. It was through her parents and their colleagues that she received a vital education in African American History and Critical Race Theory. Though she spent her formative years beachside, she received a B.A in Drama (with a minor in Dance) from Ithaca College. Alana has always had a passion for the arts, and when she is not podcasting, she is looking for television shows or doing voice-overs for commercials and radio ads. Simply put, this girl doesn't shut up! Away from the mic, Alana writes for her fashion blog, Renegade of Fun, plays competitive dodgeball, and is a proud pescetarian of almost two decades. Alana and Jacklyn are stoked to apply their gifts of gab to their new podcast, Black and Yellow, and are even more excited to join the ZyteHeist family!

    Let’s Get MinimalMinimalism is a design, lifestyle, and aesthetic trend that is gripping the Nation.  Forced to live with and deal with our stuff while the World was in Lockdown, people are making intentional decisions about how much stuff they need and want to live with.  Mainstream Minimalism imagery can be stark, rigid , and White Washed (both literally and figuratively) leading some to wonder If Minimalism  is for Black People?  Can we carve out a space that feels like it belongs to us in the White Washed world of Minimalism?  On today’s episode, I am sitting down with the Afrominimalist to discuss the answers to these questions as well as talk about her new book, The Afrominimalist’s Guide To Living With Less.Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Crowns & Hops- (@crownsandhops)- Black Owned Craft Beer Brand & Brewery https://crownsandhops.com/Chunks (@chunks.shop)- Asian Owned color hair clip and barrette brand https://chunks.shop/Keep Up With The Afrominimalist Website: https://www.afrominimalist.com/IG: @afrominimalist Twitter: @christineaplattFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/christine.p.patrick.1Buy The Book: https://www.loyaltybookstores.com/book/9781982168049Live With Less: https://www.afrominimalist.com/live-with-lessFind us on Social Media:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

    Broadway has been rocked, and not in the Queen musical kind of way. This Summer, Broadway BIPOC performers, writers, directors, and technicians banded together and wrote a letter to Broadway calling for change in an effort to make Broadway a more inclusive and actively anti-racist place for all employees. That letter began with the powerful words “Dear White American Theatre.” In this episode, we talk to a culture critic all about how Broadway is dealing with this letter, changes he has seen, and what the future holds for The Great White Way (no pun intended).Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana- Melanin Moments (@melanin_moments_)- wrapping paper featuring people of Color with a philanthropic twist (melaninmoments.com)Jac- Asian Veggies (@asian_veggies)- delicious, nutritious Asian veggies delivered to your door (asian-veggies.com)Keep Up With Jose Solis:Twitter: @josesolismayenListen to Token Theatre Friends Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/token-theatre-friends/id1516665246https://www.americantheatre.org/2020/10/07/jose-solis-the-critic-as-cheerleader-and-critics-lab-leader/Find us on Instagram: @blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

Soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar are mixed together to form the brine. Add-ins like mirin, garlic, or chiles are optional. I like to make this tasty side dish with Japanese mini mushrooms like enoki or shimeji (beechmushrooms), but for this recipe, I’ve used the easier-to-find shiitake. Feel free to use any type of mushroom you can get your hands on, from button to chanterelles.1. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, water, and sugar and bring to a simmer. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely, 3 to 5 minutes.2. Transfer the mushrooms to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon. Let the brine cool, then pour over the mushrooms. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. These will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. TRY IT WITH: These mushrooms are a delicious and nutritious addition to noodle or rice bowls or tossed into a salad.Find us on Instagram:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

  • Shaking Up Gender Stereotypes
    by ZyteHeist on February 5, 2021 at 8:25 pm

    Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff seem to be the most talked about couple on the planet right now, and there is a very good reason for that. With our Madam Vice President being a Black and South Asian woman, the visual of her White Husband stepping into the role of Second Gentleman (as well as stepping back to let Harris lead and shine) disrupts the gender roles that we are commonly used to seeing. In this episode, we talk about how important the image of an interracial couple in public office is, what gender stereotypes we are rethinking, and how we can normalize those image of power and support going forward.Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana- Phillip Ashley Chocolates (@phillipashleychocolates)- Delicious, designer chocolate perfect for gifting!https://phillipashleychocolates.comJac- Scarlett Floral Designs (@teamscarlet)- Floral Designs and Custom Creations for you or a friend.http://www.scarletflowersdesigns.comFind us on Instagram:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

  • No Sleepovers
    by ZyteHeist on January 25, 2021 at 12:15 pm

    Sleepovers are a rite of passage for most kids and teens, but not everyone attended sleepovers growing up. Some kids went to very few and when they did it was a *struggle* to get parents to agree to let them go, and some kids got to stay late (but not sleepover). In the episode, we are talking about slumber parties. Is not allowing your child to attend sleepovers an Asian thing? Are attending sleepovers necessary? Are sleepovers good for kids? We answer these questions and so many more.Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Jac- Kim + Ono (@kimandono_)- Handcrafted Kimono Robes of the Modern (Wo)men https://kimandono.com/Alana- Dreams and Jammies (@dreamsjammies)- Kids sleepwear line inspired by little Black and Brown girls https://dreamsandjammies.com/Find us on Instagram:@blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

  • Dear White American Theatre
    by ZyteHeist on December 3, 2020 at 8:08 pm

    Broadway has been rocked, and not in the Queen musical kind of way. This Summer, Broadway BIPOC performers, writers, directors, and technicians banded together and wrote a letter to Broadway calling for change in an effort to make Broadway a more inclusive and actively anti-racist place for all employees. That letter began with the powerful words “Dear White American Theatre.” In this episode, we talk to a culture critic all about how Broadway is dealing with this letter, changes he has seen, and what the future holds for The Great White Way (no pun intended).Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana- Melanin Moments (@melanin_moments_)- wrapping paper featuring people of Color with a philanthropic twist (melaninmoments.com)Jac- Asian Veggies (@asian_veggies)- delicious, nutritious Asian veggies delivered to your door (asian-veggies.com)Keep Up With Jose Solis:Twitter: @josesolismayenListen to Token Theatre Friends Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/token-theatre-friends/id1516665246https://www.americantheatre.org/2020/10/07/jose-solis-the-critic-as-cheerleader-and-critics-lab-leader/Find us on Instagram: @blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.

  • Should Black People Wear Sunscreen?
    by ZyteHeist on August 16, 2019 at 3:54 am

    ** DISCLAIMER- In the process of editing this episode, we came across a problem with the audio file. A staticky noise crept in at about the 30 minute mark. That sound is wildly unpleasant, and we did not want to subject your ears to that noise for an extended period of time. Please forgive the strange jump cut mid show, and please know that it was due to an audio issue we caught too late. ***Do Black People need to wear SPF when their melanin is inborn sunscreen? If Black don’t crack, does it get sunburned? Black People don’t get skin cancer, do they? These questions are all related to a larger conversation about sun protection in the Black community. Truth is, there is a gap of knowledge and long-term clinical studies about how the practice of sun prevention affects African Americans. Many myths exist, but in this episode Alana & Jacklyn shine light on the politics of sun protection in the Black community.Interested in checking out products you heard on today’s show?

First up is the woman who quite literally changed the way we talk about race & gender. She coined a phrase that provides a prism for understanding when conversations combining gender and race occur. Her work is especially noteworthy because it breaks out of the confines of African American studies, and is applicable to most other genders and marginalized groups. Who is this wonderful woman? You’ve got to tune in for that answer!Find us on Instagram: @blackandyellowpodcastAlana J. Webster: @renegadeoffunJacklyn Chung Young: @jacklynchungyoung Hosted on Acast.
