Margo and Tashira discuss the paradox of being "too much" in a number of ways seemingly exclusive to women & femmes. Society tells us that we need to be pretty (but we can't be too focused on our appearance), we need to be smart (but not too smart), we need to be good parents, but if we put "too much" effort into them then we're "too involved." ⁠Buy the eJournal "Defining Love at a Big Age" ⁠⁠Sign up for our newsletter, here!⁠ ⁠Shop our Osea faves and use code JUSTUS10 to save 10%⁠ If our conversation resonated with you, then consider continuing the conversation in our NEW private community! ⁠Join the justUS League here.⁠ Get your justUS swag here!

Special Report: Harvey Weinstein’s New York Conviction Overturned! The state Court of Appeals found that the judge in the Weinstein case prejudiced the former studio boss with improper rulings, at heart of which was the decision to allow women to testify about allegations that weren’t part of the case. “We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes because that testimony served no material non-propensity purpose,” the court said in a 4-3 decision.  “The court compounded that error when it ruled that defendant, who had no criminal history, could be cross examined about those allegations as well as numerous allegations of misconduct that portrayed defendant in a highly prejudicial light,” it said. Margo from the JustUS Podcast joins Producer Roger to discuss the implications of this decision on the Trump Hush Money Case as well as the Victims & Survivors related to this case and beyond.
