Sassy Politics
Sassy Politics is a weekly political commentary show that’s feminist AF, independent, and unapologetically sassy.
Hosted by Christi Chanelle, this podcast breaks down the news with sharp wit, sarcasm, and a side of are-you-kidding-me energy. No corporate talking points. No both-sides nonsense. Just real talk about the issues that matter.
From book bans and culture wars to reproductive justice, economic inequality, grassroots movements, and clown behavior in Congress—Christi covers it all through the lens of people over profit, equality over ego, and facts over fearmongering.
This is the show for people who are tired of performative politics and polished punditry. It’s for folks who care about justice, value truth, and want to understand the headlines without the BS.
Sassy Politics is smart, sarcastic, and rooted in real people, real impact—because someone had to say it.
New episodes every week.

Divine Disruption: A Journey Beyond White Comfort
This week on Wokeish Wednesday, we’re not dissecting a book—we’re inviting you to face one. There’s a powerful, uncomfortable, deeply necessary book out there calling white women in—and also calling them out. And if you’re already clutching your pearls at the title? Good. That’s the point.
We’re not here to do the reading for you. We’re here to challenge you to do it yourself.
In this episode, we:
- Tease a must-read book every white woman should sit with
- Talk about the discomfort gap between intent and impact
- Ask: Are you really about this work, or just about the optics?
- Extend an invitation—to read, reflect, and return
This isn’t about being "good." It’s about being honest. It’s about showing up better—especially when it’s uncomfortable.
👀 Coming Up on Female Friday...
A woman in Georgia is being treated like an incubator. Not a patient. Not a person.
We’ll bring you the story that proves the war on bodily autonomy is far from theoretical. And it’s hitting Black and brown women hardest.
Ask yourself: if it happened to her, what’s really protecting you?
🧠 And don’t miss Mindfuck Monday...
We’re unpacking respectability politics—why they exist, who they serve, and how they quietly crush authenticity.
If you’ve ever been told to “calm down,” “be professional,” or “not make it about race,” this one’s for you.

white women.
Speaker 1:If you want to be a better human, this is the episode for you. Welcome to Wokeish Wednesday. This episode might be a little uncomfortable, but that's okay. We need it to be uncomfortable. So, trust me, I will hold your hand along with this uncomfortability. But I need you to trust me because we're going to take this journey together, together. I'm not just reading words on a screen. I want to live them, I want to be them, and I want us to do it together. I'll explain, so stay with me. I'm Christy Chanel, and this is Sassy Politics. I'm Christy Chanel and this week we're doing something different. We're starting a book together because I think it's time we dig into the racism white women weren't taught to see, especially the kind we carry in ourselves. Later in the episode, I will tell you which book we're reading and how to listen with me on Audible and why. This moment demands more than awareness. It demands action. I hope you'll read it along with me so we can grow, unlearn and become better humans together.
Speaker 1:We were asleep. For generations, racism has operated in the shadows, discreet coded, hidden behind policies, polite smiles and suburban gatekeeping. But now, but now, the quiet part is being said out loud on the news in classrooms, on debate stages and at family dinners. We're seeing the faces under the hoods and they're not hiding anymore. They're proud, they're public and they're running for office. This awakening isn't new for everyone. Black and brown communities have lived wide awake, screaming for others to see while so many of us hit snooze. But something is different now. The mask is off, the language is bolder, the cruelty is televised and we white women, white voters, white liberals and white independents can't pretend we didn't see it. Not anymore. Silence wasn't neutral. There's a version of me, and maybe a version of you, who once said I am not racist and we thought that was enough. But neutrality is a luxury, silence is a shield, and while we're busy protecting our peace, black women were protecting their children. So, yes, we owe an apology, not because we created racism, but because we lived comfortably in. We should have been sharp Because we called ourselves allies before we ever asked what that word required. I'm not here to shame us. I'm not. I'm here to tell the truth, and the truth is not seeing. It was part of the problem. It wasn't innocence, it was sleepwalking. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 1:I have a book we're going to read together White Women Everything you Already Know About your Own Racism and how to Do Better. By Regina Jackson and Sierra Saria. By Regina Jackson and Sarah Rayo. White Women If you want to be a better human, this is the book. White Women I'm sorry, I keep calling you that.
Speaker 1:I know it's not your favorite way to be addressed. Just go with me on this, okay, I'm going to make you used to it for a little while, because I think it's important that we own that. That's how we may be viewed. We're white. I know you don't like me addressing you like that. Just go with it and, for the book's sake, that's how we're going to be addressed. So, white women, if you want to be a better human, this is the book.
Speaker 1:This is not a cozy read. It's not designed to keep you comfortable. This is the truth hot, direct and without apology. It calls out the excuses, it peels back the blind spots and it demands that we stop hiding behind phrases like I didn't know or I'm not like them. I'm listening on audible starting this week. Let's do this together. We'll talk about it on a future episode and do a live, and maybe we can all talk about it on a live roundtable event that I can create. I don't know, let's see how much. Well, I'm hoping you guys do it Like.
Speaker 1:Even if you don't want to go live and talk about it, I would like to know that, that maybe, maybe we're growing together. I want to hear your thoughts too, because I want to hear your thoughts too. Remember, this isn't about shame, it's about showing up. This isn't just a political shift, it's a soul shift, and I know it hurts. It's heavy to see the world clearly for the first time, first time. That's divine disruption, and I'm not religious. So don't turn away, don't apologize in whispers and don't wait for approval to start unlearning. This awakening doesn't need perfection, it needs presence. Let's stay awake together, let's get loud, let's stay human. I'm Christy Chanel. This is Wokeish Wednesday and if you're wondering where to begin, start here. Start with discomfort, start with the truth, start with the book, because awakening isn't just about what you know, it's about what you do next.
