For the past several weeks, African countries have been all over the news and social media due to the on-going violations (rape, child labor, racism, etc)against humanity. In this episode, we discuss the various atrocities against African citizens in: Nigeria, Liberia, Gambia, Congo, Namibia, South Africa, etc. In addition, we discuss actions that those of us abroad can take in providing assistance to those experiencing these hardships. Featuring: @patchwork85 and a special guest from Season 1, @zuleka.

In modern-day media, we are seeing different lifestyles being brought to the forefront consistently. Some are not too happy and feel like there is an underlying agenda being pushed to the masses. Others feel like it is important to create a society of inclusion and one that represents all walks of life. This discussion gets heavy and heated.

Welp, it looks like we are in the 4th quarter of 2020 and the strangeness of the year continues. This week the crew tackles a new headline, where a Las Vegas father did not want the police or his brother to bust the window of his car, while his child was inside. At what point are material things more important than life, especially your child's? Listen to our take as we try decipher the events. Featuring: @patchwork_85, @slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha2.

This week's episode, how you handle not knowing your partner's whereabouts for 24 hours? Do you check their location when you all apart? Why or why? The conversation was definitely on another level with this one. And of course, the crew flipped it on one of their castmates. Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_, @ace_alpha2.

Last week, the Attorney General of Kentucky announced that the grand jury in Breonna Taylor's case made the decision to only charge one of the officers with 'Wanton Endangerment'.

This week, we discuss the reality of DNA testing, in regards to kids, with various scenarios that may be a thing that people are not discussing but, probably should. So, why not us? LOL. Tune into this funny and authentic conversation. Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha2.

This past week, it appeared that almost everywhere we turned, we were seeing domestic violence cases or allegations, whether on the news or on social media. These domestic violence cases even escalated to the point of individuals getting seriously hurt or worst, leading to deaths. Love is a beautiful thing and it should not hurt nor be toxic. The cast provides personal accounts of situations and discusses ways that we can do better within our community. Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha2.

2020 has been the gift that keeps on giving ( *sarcasm*), now we are facing one of the biggest moments of the year with the 2020 election in November. And of course, election time has been plagued with controversy and harsh criticism, specifically, when Joe Biden selected Kamala Harris.  She became the 1st black woman (and of Indian descent) selected as a running mate for a major party. Sounds like a huge win for the black community, right? Nah, it was met with harsh criticism, wild objections, and unfair judgment. We as black people NEED to do better for our sake.
