BLACK MILLENNIAL

THIS WEEK IS SPONSORED BY SPENDING THE NIGHT AT YOUR COUSINS

— EPISODE 048 - DO THIS FOR MY CULTURE —

New Week, New Black Millennial! In this week's Motives and Thoughts we dissect the reasons why we don't show reverence to our culture in the ways that we do others. We question why we hand out labels like luxury and exotic in reference to other cultures and why we aspire to cultural standards other than the ones we create for ourselves. Later in the social news section of the show, we introduce a new segment called, LOUD AND WRONG, so you know that's gonna get fun fast. We also spend some time in BOPS + BANGERS talking about gospel songs that slap 1000x harder than whatever K*nye just released.

— EPISODE 046 - SHE WANTS TO MOVE —

We're back, for real this time like we never left. Levels of clownery are even higher, and the Blackness is in full effect. This week we join the Rihanna Navy as we've been given no other choice but to Stan, we also forgive Tyler Perry for the years of exposing the culture and we talk about important issues like climate change and the impeachment of the worst president in history. Motives + Thoughts centers around moving on and how to leave situations gracefully, and why sometimes you have to exit situations toxically 🤷🏽‍♀️

— EPISODE 044 - WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? —

In the season finale we discuss the elephant in almost ever room across the country, race relations in America. As expected, the conversation speaks from the Black Millennial perspective. How are we effected by the constant microagressions and racism we experience, and what do we plan on doing about it? We can't and wouldn't try to resolve the issue on a single podcast episode, but we believe the conversation is worth starting here. The seasons final Motives and thoughts is unadulterated, unfiltered discussion about identity, pride and culture. In the second half we cover, Chicken Sandwiches (we've been standing Popeyes), Pose, A&E's Heroin Hub, close friends on Instagram and hella bops and bangers.

— EPISODE 042 - THE BLACK NEW DEAL — 

We pick up where last week's discussion left off, talking about sustainability. What more can we be doing to protect our environment, ensure gender equality and stimulate economic growth? Is this even on our radar??? We want to make sure that it is. Later in the show there's a ton of stories that tie into this theme of sustainability. How can we be building a world for future generations starting today.

In this week's episode of BLKMLNL we dig into why we place our worth in status symbols? Why do we feel the need to wear Gucci and other designer brands that disrespect our existence? Is it okay to live a life based in aspiration? Will enough ever be enough? Later in the show there's plenty of weird white people shit to discuss, articles linked below.  Beyoncé save us please, we hate it here.

— EPISODE 040 - VIEWS FROM THE SIX — 

ISSA GOOD JAWN! We start the show dissecting the concept of views and opinions. This week's discussion topic simply couldn't be quantified into questions, so Motives + Thoughts is a freeform, free-flowing conversation about entitled opinions. Aren't they just like assholes? And just because we have them, does it mean that we're required to use them... options that is, not assholes. That's your business. Later in the episode we discuss the ever growing disease that is racism, and Stan for Ilhan Omar x Flo Milli

Shout out to all the shea butter babies and shea butter boys.

— EPISODE 039 - DOWN ON MY LUCK — 

In a continued effort to figure out the meaning of life on this hot rock of corruption, we take few minutes to uncover the source of luck and fate. Is good luck a real thing? Does that mean bad luck is real too? Can one exist without the other? And what did homeless or sick people do to deserve bad luck (Spoiler alert: the answer is nothing). Speaking of luck and fate, we also take time to lavish the praises of Destiny('s child), Blue Ivy's mama, Nala, The Gift, Beyoncé. We discuss her love letter to Africa, presented as sonic cinema and close out the show discussing The Lion King (2019) No spoiler alerts here, you've had since 1994 to see the movie.
