Sox and Sandals Podcast

This is an episode I did with Lu-El Fantroy on his podcast, "Mindset Over Method." I share my mindset as it pertains to starting the Sox & Sandals Podcast in 2017 and sticking to the entrepreneurial path. Listen and enjoy!

On this episode I share a snippet of a system I've been working for my Identity Coaching (Life coach) program. This system is designed for those who recognize they need reliable means of cultivating a healthy and correct personal identity. This is designed for the Black/African/African-American/West Indian/Afro-Latinx/Native/Indigenous person that feels that they have been and/or presently are victims of Racism/White Supremacy. I strongly believe that no person in this world is who they should be, due to presence of global White Supremacy. As it pertains to those that are classified as “Black” in the United States, we struggle with our identity in many ways due to the nature of our relationship to the Europeans because of the transatlantic slave trade and/or the reclassification of indigenous folks as black during colonization.

In our education system, most of what we have been taught about our history and our identity has been carefully crafted and curated by our enemy. Whether we would like to admit it or not, we have been directly and indirectly affected in many ways. This system is designed to equip us with knowledge that will help us to understand what White Supremacy is, how it came to be, how it works, and how it presently shapes our identity. Once we take inventory of how we have been shaped and molded by this system, we can then take steps to rid ourselves of that psychological poison. After we rid ourselves of the poison, we have a clean slate to build a healthy and correct identity.

From the book, “The Art of War”

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” - Sun Tzu

"The Serve Us Industry” consists of nonprofit organizations that are run by black executive directors and primarily serve people that are classified as black and brown in the United States and abroad. On this episode I speak with Bahia Overton. Bahia wears many hats in her life, but the hat we discuss today is that of being the Executive Director of The Black Parent Initiative, a nonprofit based in Portland, OR. BPI seeks to provide black parents with superior resources while the mother is pregnant and support the family within the first 1000 days of the Childs life. Listen to Bahia tells us about her journey to this point in her career and the many reasons she pours herself into this type of work. Listen and Enjoy!

Black History Month: The Untold Story - Rosa Parks (Ep. 138) by Emmanuel Williams

On this episode I expound upon statements Drake made in his Rap Radar Podcast interview. These statements showcase the type mentality Drake has as it pertains to his business and artistry. I call this the Scorpion Mentality. Drake lets us know that talent is not enough and that we must have a strong belief in achieving our goals. We must obsess over our desired outcomes, it's not going to fall in our lap. We must lean into our identity/personality and never let be seen as a hindrance to our success. Lastly, we should he highly aware of our emotions and rather than run from negativity, keep that energy in our arsenal and channel it into other activities, using it to our benefit... Let's move beyond motivation and let's tap into YOUniversal Activation!

On this episode I review a series of tweets lead to a discussion on how we value our talent and believe (or not believe) in our ability to monetize. I discuss Jemele Hill tweet "You got Mcdonald's money?' which was in response to a fan playfully suggesting that Jemele Hill, Michael Smith, and Cari Champion start their own platform and have the own sports talk show. They all worked together while at ESPN, but no longer... Be enlightened, be inspired, be empowered!!!

On this episode I discuss a viral tweet that from black twitter that pertained to an IG vid Tyler Perry made where he showed all the scripts he wrote by himself in 2019. The tweet mentioned the fact that Tyler fired writers in the past because they sought union representation. The tweet accused him to have been known to not follow union rules. The tweet goes on to say, "part of the reason he's the sole writer on his projects is because he's not tryna pay other writers for their work. But, you know, "Black Excellence." In a matter of 36 hours this tweet received 40,000 likes and 10,000 retweets. The twitterverse weighed in on the matter and there was a lot of negativity directed at Tyler. He seems to guilty of being a write supremacist.I weigh in on the topic... Be enlightened, be inspired, be empowered!
