I discuss the meaning of Coming 2 America, the sequel to the original Coming to America, in light of rape culture, patriarchy, and anti-Africaness. I also offer my review of the drama Mr. Queen, touching on its conservative portrayal of gender and sexuality for a Western audience.

In this episode, I discuss why I got the Covid-19 vaccine despite having the illness in December. I also talk about my father's transiion from being a vaccine skeptic, memories of other illnesses that decimated populations, and my reaction to the vaccine. This episode also covers Chad Wheeler's case of IPV against his girlfriend, the NBA response and sociological research on violence in interracial couples.

In this episode, I discuss my concern as an American watching fellow Americans travel to Mexico to avoid the pandemic and how Mexico now has the 3rd highest Covid-19 rates in the world (surpassing India with it's population of 1.4 billion!).

In this episode, I share my summary of a sociology research article written by Jenni Mueller called "Producing Colorblindness: Everyday Mechanisms of White Ignorance" published in the journal "Social Problems." It investigated how White college students in Mueller's class studying racial inequality applied what they had learned about the unearned privileges of whiteness to their lives, ancestors, and family member's socioeconomic attainment. I also discuss having White friends in a time of #BlackLivesMatter.

My nephew toddles in to join me, so if you hear heavy breathing in the background, nothing funny is happening. He just has baby FOMO.
