B.E.T. (Black.Endangered.Television.)

SEASON 5..THAT'S A WRAP! Y'all been on this ride with me, another season, another fam bam milestone, and I truly thank you. But this is the SEASON FINALE, but trust I have more for you in Season 6, just wait. But to wrap it all up, let's talk about the endangerment of Black Television. Why is that trials, trauma, and struggle, are more monetized, and projected on our TV screens? Why aren't we giving the proper accolades to the shows that dignify success, mental health awareness, inclusivity, and ALL AREAS OF BLACK LIFE?! Well let's talk about...tap in...let's get real!

C ³ (Cross-Cultural Connections)

The Colors of Friendship, are something that we are well aware of, no matter your ethnic background, or religious belief. Not everyone is privy to adversity in their childhood, and it shows. So my best friend, Jamie and I, are going to let you know about Cross Cultural Connections, and a journey through our 25+ years of friendship. We grew up together, so the uncomfortable conversation, we've never really had, it was innate. But clearly, we both experience life in a different lens, tap in..let's GET SUPER REAL!

 

SN: I wasn’t in my normal podcast recording space, so excuse the static.  As we always do, we were on the floor having this convo, lol. I know, I know haha, but it’s the message that matterssss!

You’re Kidding, Right?!

Inconsiderate, and inconsistent people aren't for me, and there's nothing wrong with making you, your first priority, but the world isn't stopping for just you beloved. Everything isn't all about you, even in your world, that may be the case. But you really only talking about you, every time we converse...you're kidding, right? Tap in..let's get real!

Reading Rendezvous📚📖

Idk about you, but l love a good Reading Rendezvous! Reading is the way to my heart, so as much as it used to be kept secret, y'all know it doesn't have to be kept a secret any longer right?!  Reading has now been something that is deemed cool, being apart of a book club, or reading the latest book released, is apart of common conversation. Heck, you even have public figures, like Marc Lamont Hill, who OWN BOOKSTORES. Now that's how you educate, literally, tap in..let's get real

MAGA (MelaninAlwaysGrapplesAngst)

MAGA!!! Nah, not the one y'all are used to being paraded, but the one that actually applies to the culture. Melanin Always Grapples Angst, it shooo do! As long as you're melanated, and educated you're going to have to deal with "those" who find it deemed necessary, to remind you "your place". Yeah, enough of these air quotes, come follow my journey, tap in...let's get real!

Heavy

Given the unfortunate recent loss due to suicide, it was only behooving I finally shed some light, not only on those I know that have impacted me, but myself.
