Covid19 is disproportionately affecting the Black community for a myriad of reasons. I was joined by three incredible doctors, who also happen to be sisters, to not only discuss Covid but to also talk about the biases, lack of representation, and the overall lack of care that we see in the field of medicine. They also talked about their incredible journey and the amazing works they are doing to improve our health. This was an amazing and informative panel. Please SHARE....SHARE....SHARE

We need this now more than ever and you are important to us. Because of this, we had a panel of experts to discuss Mental Health. Your mental wellness is important. Your family’s mental wellness is important.  And we have to have these difficult conversations to rid our community of the stigmas and the misinformation surrounding mental health.

 this open panel discussion I invited five mental health professionals who went in depth on the different forms on mental illness and its affects on the Black community.  We wanted to focus on the stigmas, the disparity in help, the whys whats and hows. We envision this series as a teaching moment to educate our people on why mental health is important and the various avenues they can take. We also want to talk about the signs to look for as well as ways to cope. This is a definite must listen.

In this episode, I am joined by friend and fellow Mississippian Tim McCormick to discuss the state of our home state of Mississippi as well as some of the things going on in our hometown. The focus of this episode is on the ongoing saga of the MDOC prison system, more specifically Parchman Prison. We also discuss the recent turn of events at local establishments who adopt rules to discourage Black patronage and why Black folks need to stay away anyway....

We are back with a new name but same focus and attitude....In this episode I discuss the deplorable living situation as well as the violence happening in multiple prisons in the state of MS. This situation is due to the failure and neglect of the MDOC and the huge failures of the administration as well as the state's administration. Prisoners are human beings and should not be robbed of their dignity and humanity. Black With No Chaser was the first and for days the only news source covering this, and our work has only begun. Also in this episode I bring back my favorite segments Politricks  As Usual, where I discuss the recent Iran situation and how it affects us, and Colonizer Nonsense where I give a recap of the racists being racists....

This episode focused on the trial and guilty verdict of Amber Guyger for the murder of Botham Jean. I have been following this since the beginning and have been waiting with baited breath for this exact verdict. Hopefully, they don't let her off easy with the sentencing phase. In my talk, I give a timeline of events from the murder up until the verdict with the hope of giving some clarity to those who may not be fully aware of what is going one. In the end, I pray for peace for Mr. Jean's family, friends, and loved ones and hope that justice is fully served.

This episode I start off discussing how flawed our justice system is and how the privileged get a leg up and an automatic benefit of the doubt while non privileged people of color do not.  I illustrate this by detailing three cases and the stark differences between them and how those differences predetermined the outcomes. We do indeed live under two different justice systems.  My second segment is politricks as usual where I once again talk about another gaffe made by our very underwhelming commander in chief Orange Blunder. I also talk about the mess that was the Democratic debates and my take on choosing the right candidate. Later in this episode I discuss the recent happenings in pop culture and entertainment. Lil Nas X came out last day of pride month and ALL THE RACISTS came out when Disney named a Black woman as Ariel the Little Mermaid.  And finally I discuss free agency and my disappointment with my New York Knicks, as well as sending a huge shoutout to CoCo Gauff for her Wimbledon victories and to the US Women's Soccer team for bringing home the World Cup....

 Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day or Freedom Day, is an American holiday that commemorates the June 19, 1865, announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas, and more generally the emancipation of enslaved African Americans throughout the former Confederate States of America. In this episode, I talk about my experiences with Juneteenth as well as the ramifications of slavery and ill effects of it that we still see today.

In this episode I am joined by attorneys and activists who played an influential role in obtaining the release of Black mothers from jail for before, during and after Mother's Day. In this conversation we discussed the importance of this initiative as well as the flawed and unjust cash bail system. This is a nationwide movement that needs our support with both boots on the ground and financial assistance. Together we can achieve justice....Help Us #FreeBlackMamas and End Pretrial Detention

This episode I interview the Emmy nominated director, producer, actor, and content creator Mr. James Bland about his phenomenal web series Giants. This show is about the lives of three friends and how they handle the different Giants within their lives. This is a must see series that is well directed, well written, well acted, and has great cinematography. The best part about it is that it faces the taboo topics of the Black community head on and doesn't blink. THIS IS A MUCH WATCH SERIES. James talks in depth about this series as well as himself and how they parallel on another. He also talks about his future projects as well as giving advice to up and coming actors and film directors. A truly must hear interview. You can watch Giants on YouTube as well as CleoTV. We will also be engaging in live Watch Parties with recaps on Black With NO Chaser as well.....
