A BLACK GIRL A WHITE GIRL: Conversations with Tee-Ta & Tiffany

Tee-Ta and Tiffany invite Demetria and Jeff Sloan to talk about the history of HBCU’s, how they started, why they are important, what goes on and the difference between Historic Black Colleges and PWI (Predominantly White Institutions).

Naturally there is a #teetamoment (AKA mike drop) and Tiffany is obsessed with finding out more about stepping.

Demetria Sloan and her husband Jeff are a wealth of information, and Tee-Ta and Tiffany can’t wait to go on a Homecoming tour with them.

In the spirit of Black History Month Tee-Ta shares stories about black inventors and medical influencers that still have a huge impact on our lives today. Stories such as Henrietta Lacks who contributed billions of dollars worth towards groundbreaking research in the medical industry and has never been compensated. And, the story of West African slave, Onesimus that was the inspiration behind Cotton Mather’s fight for inoculation against smallpox.

Tiffany also shares how she’s still learning about black indigenous history in Australia. Of course, as always, it’s not all serious, there is a #teetamoment and well, just, raw and real conversation.

If you're curious about unheard American historical stories, then you’ll certainly learn something new on this show.

Featuring our guest expert CC Gleser, Tee-Ta Walker and Tiffany Scott have a very candid conversation about the what and why of reparation, restoration and healing.

White folx, listen, learn, notice your triggers and feel free to ask questions or share your (educated thoughts) in the comments and we will respond.

A system built on slavery is still very much in existence and each person who has profited from it has the opportunity to make wrongs right and change a white supremacist system for next generations. We’d love to hear what actions shared on this show you will take.

Lesley Batson, our favorite regular, joins us for a conversation about the recent riots at the Nation's Capitol.

Our opinions may differ at times, but it opens up the opportunity to further understand what transpired, how it happened, what we agree with, what we don’t agree with and ultimately, what we need to do so the country heals and racism truly becomes a part of history and stays there.

Tee-Ta wasn’t surprised at some of the nuances, whereas Tiffany had a lot of emotions. We alluded to our different takes from ongoing suppression and privilege – two unique journeys Tee-Ta and Tiffany have experienced. YET, in the end, our mission is that color won’t be a dictator on who is validated, valuable and/or victorious.
