EiTHER

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but why is it scrutinized by so many external parties? There are over 7.5 billion humans on planet earth, so if someone is looking for love, there is bound to be a person for him or her. Depending on your beliefs, love and marriage are typically viewed as a monogamous partnership, so who cares what others think if, at the end of the day, it is a relationship that only concerns the two people involved? Such a simple thought, yet never easy to think through and accomplish. No matter what, people will have something to say about you and your loved one. One of the hottest topics, if not hottest, discussed amongst peers is interracial dating; specifically between a white person and a black person. As the world continues to be a  melting pot, the number of mixed babies birthed into this world has skyrocketed. What’s become very common, is still heavily debated.  Joining this episode of EiTHER, our good friends – husband and wife Greg  (white) and Aleah (black) – discuss their own personal experiences and the topic in general. Many of us have our own preferences, but not all of us agree, even if the relationship does not concern our happiness and wellbeing. Press play and listen. Enjoy! #TrunksUp

The evolution of video games has transcended far beyond improved graphics and gameplay. It has emerged as a legit avenue for gamers to use their skills and profit off of them. However, earning money through playing video games has been around for quite some time via tournaments across the globe. It’s the rise of streaming companies such as Twitch that have really changed the way businesses partner with gamers. Watching someone play video games used to be considered a waste of time and frowned upon by many people. But now it’s become a way for people of all ages across the world to connect and feel a part of one big and popular community. Joining today’s episode to breakdown the progress and evolution of the gaming world, our good friends Freddy and Alex provide an inside look on how this all has become way more than just a hobby. Put your controllers down (or listen to this episode while playing) and learn more. Enjoy! #TrunksUp

This is only the beginning. But today, we rejoice! Enjoy... safely #trunksup 

Life throws many hurdles and obstacles that some may not be fully  equipped to handle. Whether that’s because of a lack of resources or  knowledge, people should be afforded with the proper intel to help them  make the most optimal decision. Having the right tools is especially  important when presented with a situation that not only has legal  ramifications, but also potential life-changing effects. “Man of the  people” – a phrase coined behind the intention that there are good  people in this world willing and ready to support. During a current time  of civil unrest and a pandemic, these types of people are more  essential than ever. Joining the EiTHER podcast on this edition of  #BeHerd, is a man of the people – Mr. Zane Johnson. Zane has recently  opened up his own Philadelphia based law firm M. Zane {+} Associates  that offers consultation, representation, and other services focused on  small business, criminal expungement, family law, mediation, and wills  and estate planning. M. Zane {+} Associates aims to provide the  resources, knowledge, and the legal support one may need; Matching  People With Solutions. For more information on M. Zane {+} Associates,  please visit https://mza.legal/. Enjoy! #TrunksUp

Mental health has recently emerged as a topic in the forefront that's been publicly neglected for years, specifically in the African American community. It has often been frowned upon and looked at as a sign of weakness if one admitted to struggling with his or her own mental health. Black men do indeed have a high rate of suicide but the public does not hear or talk about this. On the latest installment of the  #BeHerd series, Tiana Caldwell, founder of the Journaling Group 'Write  That Shit Down (WTSD)', discusses her group/initiative WTSD, her foundation Kiss Your Little Brothers (KYLB), the importance of journaling, and keeping a diary for your mental health, and many more  insightful thoughts on how the African American community can battle the stigma of mental health and support our brothers and sisters.

Every 4 years, a candidate is inducted as the new or repeating president of the United States. It’s the year 2020 and it’s been a year that has reminded us all America has not seen much progress from a racial and equality standpoint. Now more than ever, we are seeing people draw a line in the sand to publicize their stances and beliefs. Friendships are being ruined, families are divided; ultimately representing the current climate of America. Are you able to separate politics from friendship at this point? Is that really a topic that can be swept under the rug and not talked about if two friends have opposing viewpoints? November 3rd is just around the corner and will be one of the most important elections of our lifetime. The road to get there has been ugly; and the path formed after may get uglier.
