We welcome Suicide Prevention Advocate, Carl David, to the show to discuss suicide prevention and his book "Bader Field".

Bader Field is a survivor’s story, and talks about how death, specifically a suicide, can wreak havoc on loved ones left behind. The book reveals the story of how a family endured struggle and torment after a suicide, and their fight to survive. David uses the book as an outlet to ‘pay it forward’ and help others cope with depression and suicidal tendencies. The author wants for those who are suffering to know that though they may feel lonely,

they are not alone. “Those who are so desperate need to know that they don’t just destroy themselves, but everyone around them as well; their family, friends and acquaintances. I pray that my perilous journey through those darkest days will bring light and hope to anyone on that final path, and draw them back,” states David.

We all know why men cheat - because they are breathing. It's just what they do. Sorry ladies but if your man isn't cheating its because he has no options besides you. There it is, the ugly truth. HOWEVER, women are a bit more complicated than that. Or at least I like to think so. So Why Do Women Cheat? Well our guest tonight, Relationship Expert, Daniel Gray has written a book about that very thing and he will be sharing his wisdom and insight with us all.

His book: "Why Women Cheat: Confessions of a Pick Up Artist" delves into the mind of a woman. In order to aid this process, the author, Daniel Gray, hires three women from around the world to comment on the techniques to "Make a Woman Fall in Love with you," and "How to have Sex with Different Women Daily." Finally he attempts to connect directly with the inner parts of the readers. This book is informative and entertaining for both men and women.

Are you Dickmotized or motized? Meaning do you fall in love without really knowing who the person you are supposedly involved in really is? We often see someone from across a crowded room and think that they are "hot". We make an effort to meet them. Things go well so we have a first date and before we know it we are in bed with them. We fantasize about a longer term relationship, maybe even marriage. Then low and behold, three-six months later they mysteriously "change". Chris Rock termed it "Meeting Their Representative".  For the first few months of a relationship we are not usually speaking to the actual person. We are speaking to their representative, who is nice, kind, sweet, sexy, and loves everything about us. Until all of a sudden, their representative has "landed" you and BOOM here comes the REAL PERSON. And you're like "Who the hell are you?" LOL

This happens more times than not. So this is what we will be talking about tonight! Make sure you call in to express your opinion or real life experience of falling in love with the representative. So caught up in the fantasy of their sex that you ignore who they REALLY ARE!! We will also talk about RED FLAGS that we ignore in the beginning of a relationship. Not to mention what we ignore about what we really want and what they are NOT!

We have a very good topic tonight and guest Activist, Rashida Strober. She has come under fire for these words: 

“Well, well, well would you looky here. ANOTHER FAKE CONSCIOUS MUTHER F-KER EXPOSED. I will never support him nor his music with one dime of my money and encourage all dark skinned women not to either!” she wrote.

Strober’s comments gained traction with folks who either fully support the “Dark Skin Is Beautiful” campaign founder or didn’t share her views on Lamar. In response to her nonsupporters, Strober posted the following response:

I see calling out and exposing self hating fake black men who speak about consciousness but date and marry NON DARK SKIN WOMEN brought you haters to my page. WELL SHARE THIS MUTHERFUKING POST!!! These type of fake coons are the worst of the worst. DARK SKIN is the essence of true blackness and if these fakers were really and truly conscious they would MARRY DARK SKINNED WOMEN!!! You pissed ?? GOOD!!!

Since 1998, Rashida Strober has been known as an advocate for people with darker complexions, according to her biography, which mentioned that her cause was inspired after years of bullying from classmates who put her down because of her complexion. Stage plays created by the Florida native include “A Dark-Skinned Woman’s Revenge” and “Ice Cream Lady’s Dream.”

Tonight we welcome author and Jonestown survivor Laura Johnston Kohl to the show. When 914 members of Peoples Temple and four visiting Americans died in Guyana, South America on November 18, 1978, Laura Johnston Kohl survived.  She was one of 87 who lived through the trauma. 

After participating with the Black Panthers, and attending Woodstock, Laura moved into Peoples Temple in California in 1970, and was an active and enthusiastic member until the day it ended.  She moved to Guyana in March 1977.  She frequently traveled between Georgetown and Jonestown, a 24-hour boat ride, but moved into Jonestown in October 1978.  Laura’s survival was a fluke.

It took twenty years for Laura to rebuild her life and have the determination to research this tragedy.  The first ten years were spent in Synanon.  Then, she reunited with many of the other survivors to put the pieces together and to get some understanding.  After ten years she wrote her autobiography.

Is White Better? The lighter you are does that make you prettier? Smarter? More desirable. Many women of color are using bleaching elements to make themselves lighter. And if they are not using the chemicals they may also be doing it by photoshopping to make them appear lighter aka whiter. What does this do for a woman's self esteem? Where is this coming from? 

Tonight we have Ng'endo Mukii, Animator of “Yellow Fever” interview. She is a Kenyan animator, director, and editor. She has created a powerful film that deals with this practice of bleaching skin and how the decision to do so in ingrained in little black girls at a very young age.

Candy Bennici, Mother of Child Star, Taran Noah Smith, comes to the show to discuss raising a child star. The pitfalls and the triumpsh. Are you wondering what you can do to help your child fulfill this dream, but afraid of the effect of fame on your child and your family? In today’s world, with showcases, contests and reality shows, there are so many ways a child can become a star almost overnight. Because of this it’s crucial for the family to be prepared for the experiences that follow.

In the last twenty years many people have asked me, “How did a little kid from Marin County end up on the national hit TV show, ‘Home Improvement?’ What in the world did you do?” I have written Stardom Happens to answer that question for parents who have a child who wants to perform. I have managed three children in the business and all three were successful. My daughter was a child model who went on to become an international model at the age of fifteen, my friend’s son became a TV and film star and my own son, Taran Noah Smith, was Mark on “Home Improvement.” All three did well, but more important, all three had a positive acting or modeling experience.
