Craig and Them

The fellas pull up a chair to the round table to discuss the shooting of Jacob Blake and the unprecedented response of the sports world. We also discuss our own feelings about interactions with law enforcement and what we see as needing to happen to change some things. 

Three friends join us to discuss their experiences as proud alumni of Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Four intelligent and passionate black women join me to discuss a little bit of everything. As one guest posted, we discussed everything, "From orgasms, why men are angry w/protecting us, Kamala, WAP, sex positivity, hair, erasing servitude of Black women, male rejection/consent, & the importance of voting."  This one is a must listen and one that you may need to listen to more than once to make sure you don't miss anything.

We talk with a teacher and two school therapists about their thoughts, concerns, anxieties, and fears surrounding the back to school debate. With 40 combined years in field of education these professionals give us a glimpse into the minds of those doing the work, not just making the decisions.  

We're back with Marcus and Shawn as we discuss our views on the return of sports and not getting drawn into the social media haze of fake news. We also introduce you to the new format of the show and if you stick around until the end you may be able to win a $25 giftcard to a black owned business of your choice.

We lighten things up this week as two of my former interns, Carol and Julie, join Michelle and me for a fun conversation. So if you want a break from all the heaviness of the moment, pour your self a drink and join us.

Aaron, Marcus, and Shawn rejoin me to continue our conversation about the Black Live Matter movement, defunding the police, and what steps we've taken in the three weeks since our last conversation. We also discuss our fears and concerns about what happens if this movement is not as successful as we all hope it should be.

On this episode, I invite on some of my friends from the LGBTQ+ community to discuss a wide range of topics around Pride, LGBTQ+ representation in the media, and the intersection of race, sexuality, and gender identity in the fight for equality. They are not afraid to state their opinions passionately, which means that this is my first podcast marked explicit, but don't let that stop you from listening or you will be definitely missing out of a fantastic conversation. 

I invite on four of the most intelligent and passionate black men I know to discuss our views on what we can do as a community to continue the fight for racial equality and to ensure that black lives continue to matter. We ask one another tough questions and challenge one another to do all we can to take a stand.  Please listen, comment, and share.

In our first episode in a while, I invite on two of my good friends to chat and laugh during the quarantine. We ask each other questions: some serious, some fun. Join us for some laughs and a couple of deep moments.
