Dope Discussions Live

The dreaded "Friend Zone". 

Nobody really likes being here. Have you ever been put there by someone that you really liked? Did you stay around for the friendship or did you stay hoping that one day they would change their minds and want you in the same way that you want them?  What are the rules of the friend zone? If someone friend zones you, isn't it a choice whether you stay there or not? Can you really be friends with someone when you're secretly or not so secretly hoping for more?  Gator and I dive into this topic with personal experience and our own set of questions. Is the friend zone a real thing or not?

Conversations with beautiful, intelligent women from different and similar backgrounds is my favorite. Rich in experience and generous in transparency, we're very excited to have these ladies in the Dope Discussions studio.

We are so excited to have JeVaughn and Nikisa back in the Dope Discussions studio!!! They were our guests on the very first Facebook live show and it was awesome!!! They are helping us tackle the sticky subject of the social media war that's going on between black men and black women. Why are we bashing each other instead of coming together? Let's talk about solutions.

In this episode we welcomed special guest, Jackson Watkins, owner and founder of J Watkins, LLC. He has created a forum to help people who lack financial education. His goal is to reach communities who are left in the dark about the importance of investing and building generational wealth that will outlive them. He didn't have access to finance management programs in his neighborhood. His goal is to make an impact on the families that can benefit the most.  His motto is "There is a place at the table for everyone". You can connect with him at his website www.jacksonwatkins.net

In this episode of Dope Discussions Gator and I are strolling down memory lane and talking about our childhood. How we were raised, what our personalities were back then, who were the people that impacted us the most, what were our dreams for the future and how did that period of our lives shape us into the people we are today. Get ready to laugh and maybe even cry but for sure you will come away from this conversation knowing us a lot better than you did before.

Let's talk about being "triggered".  Where did this term originate from? Has it become the new mainstream buzz word? Is our modern society too easily triggered and if so what's the solution for that?  Well who better than our brother Derrick Jones to have this conversation with?
