The Demise of Girl Boss Culture

Hey friends,

Maggie and Jasmine haven’t been up to much apart from watching The O.C. – not that we’re complaining. 

Fast fashion brand Missguided has released a documentary titled Inside Missguided: Made in Manchester. The glitz and glamour focuses on female empowerment and hustle culture while glaringly ignoring its garment workers.

We read from this Dazed article by Sophie Benson and this Medium article by Leigh Stein.

It follows into our conversation about the death of ‘Girl Boss’ culture. A string of well-loved millennial brands have been under scrutiny this past year – Away, Man Repeller, The Wing and Glossier to name a few.

This week Maggie recommends “Nice White Parents”, a podcast by The New York Times, as well as Do Go On episodes “The Real Lord of the Flies” and “The Miracle in the Andes”.

Jasmine recommends “Hip-Hop’s Arrested Social Development: It’s Time For The Rap Game To Grow Up” by Naima Cochrane for Refinery29. This article explores the themes that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘WAP’ has brought up in society this week.

Our funky jingle, editing and production is by the talented India Raine. You can email us at [email protected], find us on Instagram at @cultureclubpod, or on our personal accounts at @jasmineeskye and @yemagz.

Sending love, 
Jas & Mags xx
