#QuarantineTalks

Hey whats up people! We are back once again with another fresh episode of #QuarantineTalks ! Today your #FriendlyNeighborhoodNegro @JCFromTheOVT got a chance to sit down and talk with the lovely, bubbly, culinary creator of @lime_hut_london: Ms. Afiya Titus.... MISS FI, if ya hungry 😝! Not only is she your new favorite #cook but, she is also co-owner and creator of @cocofinancial : a consultancy agency geared towards financial literacy and entrepreneurship of women in the #UK.

.

We talk about how her #Caribbean roots inspired her to start the #streetfood sensation, #LimeHut, the life altering food known to the rest of the world as #HalloumiCheese, life in #London during #quarantine, traveling abroad while Black. And, interestingly enough, we talk about how her time spent in the #USA unconsciously awakened her eyes to the #SystemicRacism #America is known for.

.

And last but not least, she weighs in on the age old #WestIndian debate: peas and rice vs rice and peas!

This is the 20 episode of the #podcast and, as promised, a very special guest: this episode we have none other than your friendly neighborhood negro himself: @JcarringtonOVT ! He's been very active and present in #Seattle with the #CapitolHillOrganizedProtest aka #chop formerly #chaz! and producing and creating an original docuseries called “ #TellMeAStoryAbout ..” Friend of the pod @kool_kbeezy took time out of his busy schedule of new parenthood to be the interviewer for us on this episode!

We talk about a little bit about my origin story, how The Overthought, or #TheOVTNetwork was created and of course get into the discussion surrounding #protests, #riots, #policemurder and the disease #America just cant seem to shake: not covid….#Racism. 

Also, shout out to the very first #BlackOwned and operated #coffee brand in America: Blk & Bold! They're not paying me, this is not a sponsorship, I just root for everybody Black and they got damn good coffee!

Hey whats up people! We took a look at our past #podcast episodes and noticed that they were majority #MEN. So, we have made it a focal point to interview and talk with more #WOMEN on the platform as a whole! Our next 5 #pods will be featuring prominent and popping #BlackWomen from the #USA and abroad! With that being said; this episode is featuring the lovely, #intelligent and #creative minds of @flrpln: @rachiebabie and @adialauren ! These ladies bring the dope shit you see on #IG and other online #boutiques, to marketplaces #IRL for a hands-on, in-person experiences! Focusing on #BlackOwned, women-lead, #beauty and apparel brands , FLR PLN upends the uber-expensive concept of the #PopupShop, into more sustainable and profitable business ventures! The thing that really strikes me about these #ladies is you can literally hear how simpatico they are: from finishing each other’s sentences, to the manner in which they respond to logistical questions! They give the do’s/dont’s of partnerships, why they created their brand and what sets them apart, and why they are strategically focusing on smaller markets than bigger ones! This is a DOPE interview, check it out! #WeTellBlackStories
