  • Where Nostalgia Meets History

    Hello, family! Today's episode is all about Black women who archive Black culture from the 90s and the early 00s in particular, their impact on pop culture in the digital age, and how these dope content curators really are just digital historians. I hope you guys learn a little from this topic, as always let me know what you think!

  • LATM Ep. 7 All Skinfolk Ain't Kinfolk Pt. 1

    Happy Sunday, siblings! For today's Y'all Feel Me episode, I'm diving into the concept of 'skinfolk,' and the detrimental effects of perpetuating white supremacy within the Black community. On a micro-level with student governments at universities, as well as on a macro level within our society. Have you seen a pattern of exclusively white and/or Black male leadership in SG or SGA at your school? Have you noticed the Black people who prop that system up? Comment, like, and DM to let me know!
