BLACK Lives MAJOR!


Listen Later

"Read the room" is what everyone has been saying. So we did just that and brought one of the man dem/family on "Leon @youngkingl" to discuss the racial pandemic that is killing black lives. We begin with our weekly recap and discuss the senseless deaths of our American brothers and sisters and our focus to support/buy from our own (3:20). We then switch gears and bring it back to our home and discuss the Toronto violence that has been cripplingly our city. Leon shares his own experiences with that life and how he managed to get out (22:30). How important is it for black men to feel supported and why isn't it reciprocated to black women (37:40). What do we as black people want from our own community (48:06). Leon dives in more on his past life and shares how he almost landed in the hands of the law (60.06). Is there racism in Canada? We share our experiences with it and how we're looking at some white people in this racial climate (68:24). Shout out to the "Intellectually Lit" @AmandaSeales for the clarification on "white people" and "people who happen to be white". Black Business Shout Out goes to @visionsofscience and @vrplanet (89:32). We're dry cleaning Jason Derulo's foolish ways and Telus Mobility clearly didn't "read the room" with their new health app "Babylon" (93:04). Lastly, Leon gives his off-figure dinner outing tip lol (101:32). It's been a rough few weeks but better days are ahead! Press play and Enjoy. #blacklivesmatter always and forever. βœŠπŸΎπŸ–€
