I'm in a reflective place as 2022 comes to a close. Here are a few things I love about us.
For The Culture
It seems as the national conversation surrounding Black equity has faded, so has Coach Prime’s mission to uplift HBCU football. It feels like he’s abandoning the fight to take the “easier” route at a PWI.
A Wretch Like Me
I have to remind myself I’m worthy of His love regardless of where I am in life or how my prayer life looks. There’s nothing I can do to win Him over. As long as I desire to be close and obedient to Him to the best of my ability, that’s enough for Him. He’s not just fire and brimstone.
Episode 17 — What’s Happening In The Classroom?
Teaching is one of the most challenging professions in the workforce. Often times, they’re underpaid and overworked with limited resources. But despite its challenges, teaching is also one of the most rewarding professions. Teachers have an indelible impact on the students they teach and support.
Trauma Olympics
Trauma "validates" our lives and bodies in the eyes of non-Black folks—and, even at times, Black folks.
Black Girl Magic
The mantra uplifts and praises the accomplishments, beauty, and other amazing qualities of Black women. But on the flip side, it inadvertently pressures Black women to maintain a standard of excellence at all times.
Episode 16 — Don’t Be Surprised If You Get a Pop Quiz
This podcast episode we chatted about Inauguration Day, bad habits we want to leave in 2020, and lessons we've already learned in 2021.
Episode 15 — Not a Good Cultural Fit
This month is National Black Business Month. And we tapped on Will — a multi-hyphenate by every sense of the word — to join us for this podcast episode.
Will is an entrepreneur, creative, photographer/videographer, and stock trader.
And he's been featured in The Wall Street Journal TWICE this year alone.
But despite being gifted in many avenues, many of these same avenues are occupied predominantly by white folks.
Episode 14 — I’m Not God
Far too often Black women are expected to be on the frontlines for every battle against social injustice — on top of being mothers, providers, and working professionals.
Our guests Shawnee (a social worker) and Erin (a mental health professional) talk about their toil and challenges as Black women in corporate America in the midst of international uprisings.
Episode 13: Father’s Day
Unfortunately, in our community, fathers are an anomaly.
But Brandon and L.C. are changing the narrative.
On this episode, we talk fatherhood during the coronavirus and resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, upbringings, and much more.
