A Day in the Life 1950s: CLEANING, COOKING, MEAL-PLANNING, & HOMEMAKING | Black homemaker

Hello everyone and welcome to my channel if you’re new and welcome back if you’ve been here before. Today’s video is a bit different. I’ve been down the 1950s rabbit hole lately 😂 so I wanted to do a video filming a typical day in the 50s from a wife’s perspective. In my imagination, this is what it was like as a lesbian living with your “roommate” . I had a lot of fun filming this video and I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for watching! Please like, comment, and subscribe. ☺️

There were black housewives in the 50s, maybe not as many but they existed. My grandmother told me stories of her aunts who married military men and stayed home with the children. Pastors wives usually stayed home, as well as many other wives of professional men.

[@NikiaNichelle]

Thank you for this!! I so wished we heard more stories of black housewives from that time.

My mom & aunts put on hosiery and high heels while she cleaned the home. 1st thing in the morning and hair do to show the husbands who they had for a wifes. Our drapes had sheers. Lamp in the front window.

I love vintage looks and aesthetics and as a Black woman, there’s not a lot of representation so honey when I tell you I LOVED this video! I LOVED it🫶🏿

My favorite video, hi I have found you literally searching for Black version of 1950s Day in a life to help me with mine and get inspiration. Literally there is barely any. I want to let you know I see you and I loved the video. 🌸

[@NikiaNichelle]

Thank you so much for seeing me. You are right, there is little to no content of us. It is exactly why I created the video. I see you have a channel as well and I will subscribe to watch your content. 💚

Thank you for watching💚💚 and thank you for noticing the change in color 😂😂

[@cherylwiggins4316]

This was interesting. As a single working mom, most of my housework was done at night after dinner. Saturday was the day for opening windows and airing the place out. Dusting and polishing and sanitizing the bathroom were always for that day. But I always made the beds as soon as we got up and those breakfast dishes were done right away. I loved coming home to a clean house and I can't imagine what it would have been like to have time to do things at a slower pace because I felt like I was always running.

[@NikiaNichelle]

I understand your point of view 🤗 thank you for watching 💚

[@chanayplease]

Yooo as a Black lgbt+ femme who likes the 50s aesthetic and everything, this made me smile and makes me wanna be housewife to my future wife. I want a big family so I likely won't be able to do that but the thought is very pleasant, thank you for sharing! KZbin has heard my cries and recommended this video lol😭🙏🏾

[@liadanducky]

You look so pretty and elegant and dinner looked so yummy! I want to try following your example this week 😝 Btw I’ve used the ponds on my eye makeup, I think it’s the only thing that takes off my eyelash glue lol

[@NikiaNichelle]

Thank you and thank you for watching! 🤗 Ponds can assist with eyelash glue but you don’t want to use it often because it is heavy and can clog your pores.

I am a person of color, my mom, aunts, grandmother & all the lady's were house wife's who had husbands and young children. I was born in the 1950'.. your wrong about not many black females stayed home. My father was a pastor the church women mostly who were married and housewife as well.. all over the black community. If any women worked who was married, it had be a part time side job. The wife first responsibilities were God,home,family. Your home was to showed pride of the family. It was a show place for your husband's network. Inside your community. The wife was the husbands everything cook, nurse, business partner. Home decore operations & daily cook for not just a good Meal, but healthy meals. ❤

[@NikiaNichelle]

Thank you for your comment. I was educated on this topic years ago 😂💚 I am happy to know that there were many black housewives although it was not spoken on because it’s so taboo to see a black housewife in current times. I love that you are sharing your experience and I pray more women of color share their experiences.

In the 1960s we would add banaas or fruit cocktail to the Jello.Then it would set on a piece of lettuce.

[@Aphrodite_ErosLuvChild214-80]

We can do this today .. consumerism is what changed things in the 80s .. if we fight against consumerism we can go back to raising our children, caring for our homes , couponing, preparing healthy delicious meals for our family.. hand dry our clothes , reduce utility bills .. but used but good cars .. if we all normalize this . Watch how good society will be . It's amazing
