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.
Almost every time we spoke, we argued — nothing I did seemed to please her. She didn’t like the person I was dating (which, in hindsight was fair). She didn’t like the activities I engaged in. And she didn’t like that I stopped attending the church I grew up in. The friction felt unbearable and the basis of my frustration was that I felt my mom wanted me to be like her. In one heated argument, I remember shouting, “You just want me to be like you. I’m not YOU!"
We're shocked too. Time needs to RELAX...much like the year of our Lord 2020.
Think of the SportsCenter’s Top 10. Back when sports were a thing, every day the Top 10 would showcase 10 amazing bit-sized moments from sporting events around the world. Now think of how many sporting events happened on a daily basis coupled with how long each event was. Because of this, the caliber of the moments that make the Top 10 are borderline supernatural. This same concept applies to social media — times 10.

We truly were a melting pot this podcast episode! We were joined by a Filipina, a Native American, an Afro-Latina, and a Lebanese-American. The topic of the day was addressing the experiences of America’s full spectrum of ethnicities and race. America isn't just black and white in the literal and physical sense.
I was mad at the people who willingly decided to violate me. And I was mad at God — mostly God. But growing up, I thought Christians weren’t allowed to be mad at God. I was taught that questioning God was out of place and could result in being smited. So I suppressed my anger and used sports, boys, and self harm to cope.
On this podcast episode, we talk about the infamous African diaspora war.
We talk about the notable commercialism during this year’s Pride Month, Lil Nas X and the importance of his platform as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, the double-standards surrounding sexuality in church, and much, much more.
