BEing Blunt

Gifting can be defined as giving some kind of experience or asset that one person transfers to another while receiving nothing or less than fair market value in return. 

What we give friends and loved ones for holidays or special occasions is as much a reflection of the times as it is of personal taste. 

For this episode, Being Blunt sits down for a light-hearted discussion with a talented friend to get some gifting tips for the every-day shopper.  However, we had to  keep it blunt, so we  raised some unique scenarios for her to tackle. You might be surprised at her responses!

Our friend AKA Jessie tapped into her life's purpose thanks to a remarkable experience that reinforced the notion of giving back and helping others. 

So sit back and enjoy this Holiday Episode with Being Blunt.

For too long, people in power have conspired to rig the game, forcing Black people or minorities to work twice as hard to barely get half as much as our counterparts. Now that political candidates have our attention, the cry for a black agenda should now enter into all political conversations. We deserve and demand thoughtful, visionary policies and practices that make us powerful in every aspect of our lives. Sean and Nandi will explore this policy platform and the benefits to our community.  So sit back and enjoy Being Blunt!
