The Curious Caml

This episode is a brief update detailing the direction my show will be traveling.  I have a few goals in mind and the most important one is to interview aa person of relevance each month! It has become a joy of mine to interview people. Am I nosey? Probably. I like to think of myself to curious  :-)

A powerful beginning to something new! I have finally started hosting guest on the show. My first guest ever is none-other than the illustrious @Zaebinotv. In this interview Isaiah I have an open-minded conversation about developing personality, being genuine, and even authentic to our intrinsic nature.  It was a lovely session, and I am proud to introduce to the beginning of an epic! Be prepared to tune in! This work is a hallmark of affluence for all listeners that choose to indulge.

I would like to sincerely thank Isaiah for being transparent and patient with me while we were speaking. I made a mistake in the beginning, and he took the time to educate me. This is what I loved to experience in unapologetic black conversations. Its better heard than explained.

The FlexTape Chronicles will be a series of poems created and uploaded by the host Jamal W. Childs Jr. Poetry speaks for itself. Soaked Concrete is sure to deliver imagery of the chaotic lifestyles one would experience growing up in city ghettos. 

P.S. Awkward silences for the first 5 seconds that I forgot to edit out >.< 

                                                                     Enjoy :-)

In this episode of problematic unapologetic gibberish, I elaborate on the African American Vernacular English dialect used by many Brown Skinneded people in America. My commentary delves into how we use our own language and culture in regressive fashion.  AAVE has become extremely popular due to social media and has a plethora of individuals from different ethnicities using the dialect. With advances in technology and media, it is important for black people to understand how we represent ourselves. Not for the public, but for our own well-being. 

Even more important, we as black people need to do a better job of supporting each other despite personal situations. When we recognize someone of our own that is a little different, we are too quick to chastise them. This is ugly, love our brothers and sisters for who they are. AAVE is used differently by all black people of this nation. Not one person should have to prove their "blackness" when we are all obviously just a bunch of,,,,,    :^}

LISTENERS DISCRETION: I say "N***a" lot.  Put on your bigboy/girl pants

In this delightful episode of rambling, I share my plans with this show moving forward. The topic is centered around acknowledging toxic behavior amongst cohorts, affirming self-success, levels of advice, and even having a solution-based mindset. Success comes with suffering. My mentor once said that you can't get anything substantial in life without putting in a degree of work. Along this path of victory an individual is sure to face some obstacles. Unfortunately, the people closest too us can drag us down. Recognize the snake in the grass before it's too late. You'll save yourself some recovery. It is important to identify the lurkers hiding in the shadows of prospective success. Better to uproot the weed than allow it to linger.

Also, this work is unedited. I don't use a script and I wanted this episode to feel authentic.  I am not perfect, nor will I ever make it seem like I am with regards to this work.

Shoutout to Black for giving me laughter and wisdom.

In this episode of The Curious Caml Podcast I am extremely excited to break in my new laptop! The sound quality and storage space on this device is off the charts.  Listeners of this episode will be carried through mental journey to get a glimpse at defines true passion. Love of one's own commitment is a joy beyond verbal expression. It is something that you just feel.  It is a belief of mine that if an individual can discern between their wants and needs then they can find themselves in a place where they are surrounded by bliss. Almost as if it were preordained. I invite you to take a listen and to enjoy the show.     <3      :-)

This episode was produced by organized ramblings about how some of my favorite Anime's to watch have purpose. The topic truly explains itself. Anime like many other entertaining media serves subliminal messages to the viewer. Some of the most popular anime's hold high positions caused by the virtue a show can invoke. I spoke on a few of my favorite shows to create a lighthearted episode worth uploading. Anime is really cool, anybody can enjoy it once they've found the right show :'D

This episode of "The Curious Caml" leads a deep dive into the roots of what provokes the prevalence of psychotic symptoms in children raised in urban communities. This is a topic I've wanted to speak on ever since I read the study conducted by Newbury and others (2016.) I planned on uploading this recording in October since that is the month dedicated to mental health and depression awareness. Sadly, my laptop ran out of disk space and it has given out in the middle of recording sessions. I'm just grateful that I got the content that I am presenting now. My laptop fell out one last time around the 17minute mark so I apologize for the change in sound quality and static. Finally, this episode ended abruptly to save space. My laptop is really in shambles  :'^[

For my fifth episode of "The Curious Caml" I take a more casual dive into the mind-scape of pimps and hustlers. I'm very big on calling things what they are. In fact I like using my words so much that I picked up a flow. Keep in mind I am not speaking on specific characters or the archetype. My speech is more-so connected to how the promoted actions of "hustling" and "pimping" are survival based deed from the roots. We can never grow as individuals if we are not flourishing  into our own authentic nature.  

*Disclaimer* there has been a faint static in my recording. I've been working to find the cause. In doing so I've discovered a few ways to accommodate the noise :-)

Enjoy!!

This episode was a delight to record! Today I speak on the importance behind the change of scenery. We should treat ourselves to these exuberant adventures. Getting outside of our boxes gives us potential to see life through a new lens. A lens that will forever help us to envision gratitude and joy for the little things in life!
