  • BLACK LIVES MATTER ft. Khadi Diagna

    The times we are living in are certainly thought-provoking and challenging...but NOT surprising. We discuss with Khadi Diagna, an insightful sociologist student about how 2020 has literally and figuratively sent people to their rooms and shaken them awake to the wide range of injustices that must be firmly grasped and DEALT with. We believe it is vitally important to have conversations, even when uncomfortable, and use platforms like this to get certain points across.

  • Mental Health Awareness: Erase the Stigma and Raise the Conscious

    On Monday, May 25th, 2020, George Floyd was murdered after Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck, preventing Floyd from being able to breathe. Since then, the disturbing video spread like wildfire, and while unconscionable how someone could treat another human being so terribly, it was not surprising. This week, we were fortunate enough to have my friend Caoillin Tierney, a mental health awareness advocate and guru, shed light on mental health during the current social and political landscape. If you are in need of some tips on how to achieve some semblance of mental peace, or just want to take a few minutes to listen to us reflect, please feel free to tune in. Also, please feel free to donate to some organizations that we have found to be impactful during this time: https://secure.everyaction.com/zae4prEeKESHBy0MKXTIcQ2, https://brooklynbailfund.org,
