This episode, was SUPER random. We wanted to see where our conversation would go if we started with our "You Did That" segment and ended with "Laughs & Liveliness". We had so many bloopers, but we had a good time making it. What's your Mind.Set.? Let us know at [email protected] or on Twitter (or Instagram) @MindSet_Pod using the hashtag #askmindset and #podin.

We all make mistakes public figures or otherwise. When there is public outcry from the black community about one of our own, are we turning our backs on them or holding them accountable for their actions? Are we not suppose to say anything? How should we address black public figures when we know they’re fucking up? When they do something we perceive as wrong should we quit them or voice our disappointment and move on?
