I Refuse Podcast

Although I’m TRUE to form in the KITCHEN, I don’t think I want you twerking above my shrimp and grits. Call me a sellout, but I don’t think the owner wants his good upholstered furniture messed up. They don’t give out Grammys for this. Respect yourself

With my first guest of the season, my Chi-town hottie friend AJ Black, we explore the lifestyle and the life of the gay black man with an unfiltered, humorous spin.

Coming off the heels of watching The Fresh Prince reunion show, I wanted to discuss not only the importance of the show and the reunion but also the nuances and perceptions I picked up around the 10 minute interaction between Will Smith and Janet Hubert and it’s importance and the themes of treatment of black women in society and the importance of forgiveness. I further the themes of race and debt into the discussion and outrage from the second round of conversations about the idea of cancelling student debt and my perspective and position on it.

Joe Biden & Kamala Harris won. What’s next ?

As I come to terms with my mom’s explosive health news, I reflect on life experiences with her and truly value life and what influences she had on me coming up behind her. I also look at how fast life comes and changes and has done so this year.

Coming off the end of the Presidential debates for 2020, I wanted to share my opinions on not only the performance of Biden and 45 in the final debate but also my views on the issues presented before them and how important it is to me where they are on issues that represent me and the health of society as a whole.

I just watched the VP debate in full, and I have some points to make in reference to the issues that are most important as a black bi male that has been married to a man, lived and served during DADT and being a black life.

In observance of National Coming Out Day, I share my Coming out story and the several scenarios growing up leading to that decision to coming out. In addition, I also explore pros of coming out and the encouragement to those that are not aware of doing so.

Anybody that knows me, knows I love watching real housewives. Atlanta and Potomac. I wanted to kick off the new season of the podcast discussing the most recent episode. Moreso to support a bigger point of how we interact with each other upon a fallout or an incident that people are not comfortable with. There are a few parallels between that scenario at Karen’s house with the scenario I’ve been on the receiving end of and the treatment by a group. Also, discuss the latest news regarding 45 and his latest stunt.

We’re back! Welcome to the 2nd season of the I Refuse Podcast. We have some exciting content and exciting guests coming your way. Some published, some passionate, all wonderful to discuss matters of the heart and the world.
