Hey ya’ll hey!

Thanks for tuning into Episode 108 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"The Griot, The Artist, and the Educator."

In this week's episode, I finally give my initial thoughts around Ryan Coogler's film "Sinners." For me, the film was a lesson in all things African cosmology including African futurism, Nommo (or the power of the spoken word), and Diaspora consciousness. Needless to say it was EVERYTHING I wanted it to be and some of what I couldn't have even imagined. I'll share who I think the real griot of the film was (please let me know if you agree!).

I'll also share with you my feelings as a Humphries Era Rattler and the recent Board of Trustees election of Marva Johnson as the 13th President Elect of FAMU. And, if you’re

really wanting to unpack thei deas around Black history, Black spirituality, and Black culture, please consider being a guest on the podcast. Send me an email at [email protected]. I’m a life coach helping folks reach holistic success over here while being your FAVORITE HBCU Prof!

After you tune in, let me know what you think of this episode by leaving me a 5-star review.

Take care of each other so we can build together.

Hey ya’ll hey!

Thanks for tuning into Episode 108 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Culture Wars and Politics: What We Must Do to be Free” Since Black folks arrived in the U.S., we have been under a cultural attack that requires our constant awareness and strategy. What we need to do, particularly in this election cycle, is be aware of how history informs the present. Our lessons from the past can help us generate strategy if we are enlightened enough to seek answers from it. For far too long, we have failed to understand the role that culture plays in our continued oppression. I hope that this episode helps us think more deeply about that.

If you are looking for the PBS documentary I referenced, you can find it here: In the White Man’s Image. The book, Education for Extinction is here. As always, you can follow me on social media and/or YouTube (see below).

I’d love to hear what you think about these ideas. And, if you’re really wanting to unpack the ideas around Black history, spirituality, or culture, please consider being a guest on the podcast.

Hey ya’ll hey!

Thanks for tuning into Episode 107 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Sankofa: The Art of Reclamation” What do The Book of Clarence, Cowboy Carter, and the Black Arts Movement have in common? In this episode, I talk about the role of art (and Black literacy) in multi-layered communication. (the TikTok creator I referenced about the sonar pings is @ragandboneshopoftheheart)

Hey ya’ll hey!

Thanks for tuning into Episode 106 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"HBCUs, Public School Vouchers, and Opportunity Districts: Oh My!” Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think something nefarious is afoot and I just want us to be watchful and prepared. The bottom line is that I think we need to specifically be thinking about institution building, maintenance, and protection when it comes to education in general, but our young people specifically.

Hey ya’ll hey!

Thanks for tuning into Episode 105 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Woman’s Work and Other Reasons to Give Praise.” This week is special, I just wanted to share some poetry with you in honor of Women’s History Month. This week’s poems come from Gwendolyn A. Mitchell and really share important ideas—especially for Women’s History.

The reason that this episode is an abbreviated one is because I am getting ready for a banger next week! Next Sunday, I want to share some news about Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that I think we, as a community, need to give our intentions to. In fact, we need to specifically be thinking about institution building, maintenance, and protection.

I’d love to hear what you think about these ideas. And, if you’re really wanting to unpack the ideas around Black history, spirituality, or culture, please consider being a guest on the podcast.

Hey ya’ll hey!

Thanks for tuning into Episode 104 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Whose Life Story Are You Writing?” What do the films American Fiction, One Drop: The Bob Marley Story and Mea Culpa have in common? In this episode I want to share with you my ideas about how these three films in Black culture are a model for what more of us need to be thinking about.

Let me give you a hint about this week’s episode. We are either authors of our own life’s story, or we are a character in someone else’s version. This week, I want you to think about the story you’re telling and why. I also want you to think deeply about who benefits when you don’t control your own narrative.

Hey ya’ll hey!

Thanks for tuning into Episode 103 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"A Fan of Fani.” What do Usher Raymond’s half-time show have in common with Beyonce’s recent music release and DA Fani Willis’ time on the stand? In this episode I want to share with you my ideas about how these three events in Black culture are a model for what more of us need to be doing.

Did you catch all of the symbolism in Usher’s performance? How do you feel about the Queen’s country music? Did you argue with people about whether or not Willis should have dated someone with whom she is working? Don’t worry, let’s unpack these ideas together.

Hey ya’ll hey!

Thanks for tuning into Episode 102 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Stop Making Stupid People Famous.” This week, I want to open with a James Baldwin quote that essentially asks us to reflect on what America is doing to us. That reflection is just what this episode of the podcast is about.

If you mindlessly scroll social media as I sometimes (okay, okay OFTEN) do, you’ve probably seen some of the folks I talk about this week. I’d love to hear what you think about their performances.

Hey ya’ll hey!

Thanks for tuning into Episode 101 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Tyrese, Really?” This week, I fought hard not to hit a full on rant. If you haven’t heard, Tyrese helped set the tone for Black History Month 2024 by publishing wishing he was born Latinx. (Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with being Latinx, the problem is in not celebrating who you are.)

In this episode I share with you a few quotes by two of my favorite scholars: Drs. Carter G. Woodson and John Henrik Clarke.

Hey ya’ll hey!

Thanks for tuning into Episode 100 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"How This Podcast Came to Be.” This week, I want to share with you my long and winding road to my 100th episode of the podcast. Long story short, it’s taken me years to do what really should have only taken me a portion of that.

I hope that in me sharing my story, you find some motivation to re-start your own journey to align with (your already existing) best self.
