TAWKS: the Podcast

What does it mean to be "spiritual" vs. "religious"? Does talking to my ancestors make me a weirdo? And what's the deal with all the sage burning?!

We get to the real root of the questions this week in our conversation with our friend Danielle of ToiBox Tarot. She gives us helpful insight and the real deal on what tarot practice is and what it ain't! Come learn something new, and leave your bad energy at the door.

This week we link back up with Billy Banx almost a year after speaking with him about his music. This time he's back with a new single, a new attitude and a clear intention on the mark he wants to leave on the music industry and the world.

We all know things are crazy here at home, but ever wonder what it's like to be a Black man in China? We chat with Charlotte based artist Ian Wilson (a.k.a. Charlie Markers) to talk about his experience living oversees, his move back stateside and how he uses art as a form of activism in response to the state of our world.

We tried not to get political...but it happened anyway (s/o to DAKA's mom for today's topic).

This week we discuss the growing controversy surrounding many states new mandatory mask laws and why this is turning into a polarizing topic. We also make our projections about the 2020 presidential election, and Nayo tells us why the little things matter in her words of wellness.

With all the talk of divestment and donating to organizations like Black Lives Matter that work for the interest of Black people, how do we know what the money is really going towards? How important is that transparency, when you're considering donating? Also, B. Simone...girl you really fumbled the bag on that book. You tried to pull a fast one on us be we haven't forgotten...

We're finally back live in the studio ya'll!! This week we unpack our feelings around the protests surrounding the murder of George Floyd, and talk about what the future holds for Black America. We also take a little tour across the country with some little known facts about our hometowns, and Nayo gives us some tips for pulling back for a moment so that we can be mentally strong to continue the fight for freedom.
