  • If The Supreme Court Overturns Roe V. Wade, Then What?

    Beyond the legality or morality of ABORTION, how do we prepare the next generations for the new landscape? Will this pending decision only produce more UNWANTED CHILDREN in the BLACK COMMUNITY? Should parents talk more to their children about SEX, or do we need to push for SEX EDUCATION in public schools? Will parenting children inside of a HEALTHY MARRIAGE be prioritized again?

  • Why Does Tesla Pay $0 in U.S. Taxes?

    TESLA has been valued at over a TRILLION dollars at various points as a company, yet as of recent pays $0 to the U.S. GOVERNMENT in TAXES. Special guests, JUSTIN HEMPSTEAD and international businessman WILLIAM AGNEW, drop by, along with special guest co-host, ASHLEY THOMAS, CEO of Making Money Matter, to discuss what can we learn from these companies and how BILLIONAIRES like ELON MUSK and JEFF BEZOS only pay a TRUE TAX RATE of 1% versus 14% for the average American. In comparison to the average American, are these tax rates unfair, or can they be justified?  MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

  • Culturally Relevant Education: What Can Parents Do?

    Studies show that AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN academically perform much better when they receive a CULTURALLY RELEVANT EDUCATION. Special guests, CHARLTON HARRIS, owner of Imhotep Academy, and AMINATA UMOJA, founder of Kilombo Academic & Cultural Institute, along with special guest co-host, JENNIFER DUNN (co-founder BUNIFU LLC) all drop by to discuss what parents can and should do to ensure their BLACK children get what they need from their education.

  • Is Polygamy Similar To Pimping?

    We ask our special guests, relationship counselors, and polygamous couple, HASAN and NAAILA CLAY is the new age POLYGAMY a form of PIMPING or can they respect it as a potential solution for some of the problems we see in MARRIAGES as well as the overall BLACK COMMUNITY?. However, versus the traditional form of POLYGAMY where the man provides for both women in two separate homes, the modern era has introduced three adults (one man with two women) each with their own income coming together in one home. The modern form of POLYGAMY is often offered as a solution for a man's so-called nature not to remain MONOGAMOUS, and a solution for SINGLE MOTHERS raising children without the father’s involvement. We also ask about the advantages and the disadvantages of POLYGAMOUS relationships whether traditional or modern? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask.

  • What Do Women Bring To The Table?

    Special Guests, Youtubers, FRANK RIVERS, View From The Man Cave and MARK TODD, Black Men & Cigars Podcast drop by to discuss the concept of WHAT WOMEN BRING TO THE TABLE in a relationship. In the past the question was typically directed toward men, since men were expected to be the breadwinners and full time STAY-AT-HOME WIVES were commonplace. Today full time STAY-AT-HOME WIVES only make up 9% of married couples in the U.S. So, are women today expected to bring finances to a relationship?  For some men, finances are not a concern, so in that case what do they expect women to bring to table? Does a HIGH-INCOME WOMAN have different expectations for what she should she bring to the table, or does she figuratively reverse the role and ask the man what does he bring to the table?  MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask.

  • Did Will Smith's Slap Protect Black Women?

    Special guest co-host Diversity Consultant, LATRICE ROSS and special guest, Attorney, ASHLEY JOHNSON-ALFORD drop by to discuss THE SLAP SEEN ACROSS THE WORLD!!! Some suggest WILL SMITH slapping CHRIS ROCK was an excellent display of a husband protecting his wife. While others suggest WILL’s response was an overreaction to a joke. Does the personal nature of the joke, knowing JADA PINKETT-SMITH suffers from ALOPECIA change things? Should JADA have kept WILL from approaching Chris? Was this a good or bad example of a BLACK MAN protecting a BLACK WOMAN? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America’s afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
