In today's Brain Squeeze episode we're talking all about dismantling the patriarchy! But not in the way you'd think lol. I have been hearing this phrase and concept of "de-centering men" for a while now, and a thread I stumbled across yesterday had me do some research on what that actually means and what the movement is about. By definition, I'm all for it! However, the way I'm seeing it be used and weaponized on social media is an absolutely not. So let's break down what it is, what it ain't and how to use it moving forward. Take a listen to my juicy thoughts!

In this Brain Squeeze episode I'm giving y'all The Juice on the latest headlines.

There was breaking news this morning announcing the passing of iconic civil rights activist and political figure, Rev. Jesse Jackson. The spinoff show to 106&Park, "106 & Sports," has officially been cancelled. I give my juicy thoughts on the continued conversation around the dying tv industry and the host of the show, NFL star, Cam Newton. Lastly, I discuss the viral clip that is quickly spreading about Michael Jordan after making history as the first Black NASCAR team owner to win the Daytona 500!

In today’s Brain Squeeze episode, I’m breaking down All-Star Weekend in LA! From the early start times and empty seats, to the lackluster dunk contest that had people saying “cancel it altogether.”

Were we just more impressed as kids? Or have the standards quietly left the building?

I get into why I think the issue runs deeper — from stars not participating in the dunk contest, to the loss of rite-of-passage moments, to the shift from love of the game to protecting the brand. And yes… we’re talking about whether the NBA is slowly losing some of the prestige that once made it feel untouchable. Get into these juicy thoughts!

HAPPY FRIDAY!! We made it to the end of the week, so we have to get into The Weekly Squeeze!

In today's Brain Squeeze episode we get into a few hot topics: Chris Paul announcing his retirement, Kai Cenat finally breaking his silence on the rumors, Sexyy Red teases a new song (but MJ's estate is not having it), Stefon Diggs pleads not guilty in legal battle and lastly, I'm getting cooked on threads! Cheese curds are NOT Milwaukee culture and I said what I said! Y'all are not about to argue with me about Milwaukee culture during Black History Month lol.

This week I was invited on a panel to speak about the Black Press. Ahead of the panel, we watched the documentary, "Voices of The Black Press: Soldiers without Swords," and then had a talkback. I left the event feeling so honored to be a Journalist and was inspired to talk about it here.

In today's Brain Squeeze episode I highlight the most memorable moments from the documentary and I discuss the important role of the Black Press today. From needing more representation in rooms, controlling our narrative, and the responsibility we hold to tell our stories, it's such a layered conversation.

J.Cole has been outsideeee since dropping The Fall Off album and I wonder, what's next??

In this Brain Squeeze episode, I highlight this incredible Trunk Tour J.Cole is on after dropping his highly anticipated album, The Fall Off. He's taking it wayyy back to being outside selling CD's out the back of the trunk and the fans are loving it. But is this truly the end of J.Cole's rap career? Let's get into these juicy thoughts!

Ella Mai and Ari Lennox recently dropped new R&B albums and the girls are loving them...but I have some juicy thoughts.

In today's Brain Squeeze episode I give my review on Ella Mai's new album, "Do You Still Love Me?" and Ari Lennox's "Vacancy." The gworlss are loving it from what I'm seeing on social media, but I think I'm a tough critic. Take a listen to my honest thoughts on these albums and what I feel like R&B is missing today.

This episode is a squeeze on the Super Bowl, and we’re talking way more than football.

I recap the night from Coco Jones’ powerful rendition of Lift Every Voice and Sing to the tech and AI-heavy commercials that felt more like normalization than marketing. We get into the Ring “search party” ad and what it might say about surveillance because I know it wasn't just about no dogs!

I also break down Bad Bunny’s halftime show, his love letter to Puerto Rico, and why you don’t need to understand every lyric to feel the message. Plus, why Turning Point USA’s “counter halftime” was trash, and whether Chris Brown could really be next up on the big stage.

HAPPY FRIDAY!! We made it to the end of the week, and the first week of the Brain Squeeze Podcast, so we have to get into The Weekly Squeeze!

In today's Brain Squeeze episode I introduce The Weekly Squeeze, a chit chat about things that happened this week that can ease us into the weekend. Today I talked about how my Juice 75 is going (my version of the 75 Hard) and my experience as a guest reader for a few kiddo classes for Black History Month. Then I give a sour squeeze to rapper Glorilla's sister, Scar Face a.k.a. "Bro-Rilla" a.k.a. Victoria Woods, for talking too much trying to get her 15 minutes of fame using her sister's name smh.

Bay Area Rapper, LaRussell, announced his new partnership with Roc Nation and it's got the community talking!

In this Brain Squeeze episode, I talk about what LaRussell's new deal represents for this new era of independent creators and why some people aren't too pleased with the deal.
