Sox and Sandals Podcast

This episode concludes with a description of how we as melanated African people of the world can potentially come together to re-create a society that includes the Kemetic way of living as it foundation. Brother Heru also speaks to how we can function cooperatively as a society without being monolithic... Enjoy!

The beginning of this discussion turned into somewhat of a debate (as it's simply picking up from where we stopped the last episode. Brother Heru got a little defensive and read a bit too far into some of my questions. Instead of directly answering the questions he would retort with a question or a straw-man argument. His spiciness led to an entertaining discussion nonetheless. The episode finishes smooth as he gets back into his informative/educational bag... Enjoy!

This is part 1 of 3 of a discussion on the Kemetic way of life. I am joined by leader of the ta-nefer ankh community, brother Heru-Ka Anu. He gives us a glimpse into his journey of a quest for knowledge and spiritual truth. These Religion & Worldview discussions are intended to be informational for the audience, which this was. However, Anu had a lil heat and was with the smoke so the conversation became a bit combative. I would prefer that these discussions to take the route, but it went there so... Here it is!

Maundo is back! It's been a minute since my guy has been on the podcast and it was good to bring someone who's been involved since day 1 back to the kitchen. In this week's episode we have a spirited discussion/debate about a 16 year old girl named Treasure, whose recent episode on Dr. Phil went viral. She presents herself to the world as a transracial black girl that happens to be racist against black people.

In this weeks episode I have the pleasure of speaking with Rahshiene Taha about his entrepreneurial journey. Rahshiene is the founder of 7|X, which is media company that is focused on celebrating our culture and showcasing our greatness to the world. Rah talks about overcoming yourself, believing your insights, and learning to be unafraid. So press play and let your ears and brain be blessed by the listening of this greatness.

Has it occured to you that Kanye West is pretty damn smart for a bipolar college dropout? Can we start the narrative there? I know how easy it is to get distracted by the MAGA hat, the TMZ/slavery was a choice rant, and the awkward bro hug he gave to Trump in his most recent visit to the Oval Office, but sometimes you just have to step back and think about the totality of what is taking place. I want to briefly point out a few reasons why I believe a lot of us will be on the wrong side of history as the world dismisses Kanye as some mentally unstable Mega-Celebrity that is certainly always off his meds when we witness his viral moments.

I am of the mindset that Kanye is a highly calculated individual and he is the cause of the effect of a majority of the outcomes in his life. His most recent “lunch meeting” with Trump helped open my eyes to see Kanye’s vision. From what I can see, he is on a mission to increase infrastructure for his clothing line by any means necessary. It seems that in Kanye's mind the quickest path to reach that result is through Trump. Kanye’s tactic of choice right now is what I like to call, the Trump Stroke. Ye’ is unapologetically stroking Trump’s ego like no other. Some will attribute the strokeage to him being off his meds, but I would like to point out a few important statements that Kanye made that shows that he’s thinking logically and is not having manic episodes every time we see him in the news.

Kanye is becoming more and more intriguing over time and I'm here with my popcorn enjoying the show.

Issa Takeover!!! My comrade Paul Henry Grice III takes over the show and interviews me. It was extremely hard for me to resist taking the reigns back and steering the conversation, but Paul wasn't having it! It was Paul's idea to have me share my Entrepreneurial journey for y'all because I rarely talk about myself on the podcast. So here it is!

In this week's episode I sit down with Director/Writer/Actor and overall creative genius, Tevin Tavares. Tevin is only 24 years old, yet has many years of experience and an amazing body of work, which includes multiple videos that have gone viral. He has his own media company and lifestyle brand called Combined Culture. He has been hired by Adidas, fired by Adidas and has done freelance creative director work with Nike. Tevin's work has garnered him a college Emmy, he's won and award at the Long Beach Film Festival for short-doc he created, and very soon after this podcast is released he will have been featured in Forbes Magazine. Tevin is from the Bay and he is on a journey to make the Bay proud. Listen, be enlightened, be inspired, be encouraged.
