We got some nerve! Who do we think we are???!???! This episode really turns the finger pointing inward.

Since January 26th, 2020 the day that Kobe Bryant died in a tragic helicopter accident, the year has been full of enough twists and turns to make the most adventurous and optimistic of Americans question their place in life. When COVID finally touched our shores, we were immediately dropped into a thickening plot of a feature sci-fi film from the Netflix "trending" section. But, like all good flicks, there is back story that many of us aren't privy to as we anxiously await the happy ending in our movie. So, when did COVID hit our shores? When did the proverbial straw find its way to the camel's hump? 120 takes a look at the order of events. 

Casey Bell, a proud Uncle, is an author, playwright, poet, and an ASCAP songwriter. Casey's mantra is "be as unique as your fingerprints." In this piece, he helps us dig a bit deeper than the surface level tags we carry so close to our hearts. "Embrace Your Identity" gives you a look at our true identity markers in hopes that we learn to walk this Earth, as we are.  You can find more information about Casey Bell at https://www.authorcaseybell.com/.

We know the statistics! We hear the term "Crabs in a barrel" when referring to the Black community. The community has been plagued with this idea that "there is not enough to go around" so we fight for scraps-cutting the legs from those who have the ability to propel us forward. But why?

We've seen the pictures. We've read the memes. We've watched the videos. If Odell Beckham did come out as gay at the top of his career, he could set the tone and challenge the confines of what it means to be masculine in the football community. Hang that jersey in the rafters!

The second season of 120 O.P is a little more raw, a little more diverse and a lot more passionate. From reflections of private conversations with Angela Davis, to thoughts challenging the messages behind some of the greatest works of art, including Rhonda Bryne's  "The Secret", Season 2: Good Form is here! TUNE IN!!!!!

The English language has so many rules, and, like the rule of land, there are exceptions. How do we teach our children a language when the basics are inconsistent? In this playful but insightful cast, Mr. Two Minute Man reflects on the struggles of the English language. In short, he says, "it's broken."
