Are people tired of talking about HIV, or is there still interest in the global pandemic. Are women being overlooked and gay men the continued focal point? Do people still fear becoming infected? What if there was a pill you could take to prevent HIV infection? 

I will be joined by co-hosts Nicole Vick, Percy Pandy, and Bridgette Picou in a conversation about HIV, sex, women, and a new HIV prevention tool called PrEP* (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis). Learn about what's new in the fight; its impact on the community; and what concerns are in existence. 

*Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a prevention option for people who are at high risk of getting HIV. It’s meant to be used consistently, as a pill taken every day, and to be used with other prevention options such as condoms. For more info go to: http://prepfacts.org/

LIVE FROM NEW YORK!!!!!

There seems to be a lot of misconception when it comes to the behaviors of gay men; especially those who are African American. Based upon media depictions one would assume that Black gay men are either effeminite, on the Down-Low, or in interracial relationships. The lack of diversity is both frustrating and unfair. To add to the irrititation Oxygen network is set to air 'The Prancing Elites Project' which has created an uncomfortable debate within the Black gay community. 

I have invited a few Black gay men to discuss media stereotypes, effeminite men, the need for more diverse imagery of Black gay men, and why they are accused of having internalized homophobia. You do not want to miss the discussion.

Tonight I will be joined by author Monice MItchell Simms, President and CEO of Flower Girl Productions.

Is there a book inside of you begging to be written? Are you sitting on the next great novel? Have you been procrastinating and doing everything but writing; or, have you completed your first book and want to know the next steps? If so, you are not alone and this show will definitely help.

Monice is all about building Authorpreneurs (a phrase she coined) and loves pushing other writers to the next level. Join the conversation and be inspired -again.

Currently, there is a bevy of wonderful shows featuring great Black actors. Black-ish, Being Mary Jane, The Haves and Have Nots are just a few that have our attention. Shonda Rhimes has turned Thursday nights into her own private showcase and Empire is setting new records for its gritty portrayal of amusical dynasty. Has Black America finally reached a point of satisfaction with how they are represented on television, or is there still more work to be done? 

Tonite's guest is actor, writer, and filmmaker Damone Williams. We are going to discuss his work in the industry, as well as his thoughts on the current state of 'Black' television.

It isn't often that I view something which pierces my heart to the core. In 9 minutes I went through a myriad of emotions that left a well of tears in my eyes. In short 'The Boy' is about a family that starts to notice a disturbing behavior in their only son, so they call on a local tribal healer to rid him of the “demon.” I won't spoil it by revealing what the "demon" is but trust me when I say that it will leave you breathless. 

The Boy was written and produced by Cayman Grant and James Peoples. Tonight they will discuss their storymaking journey and how it feels to have their film be a part of the 2015 Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles.

A lot of things have occured to disrupt the positive flow of the Black community. Many of those situations were caused by external factors; but not all. Join Cris Colbert and I in a discussion about Black America: Where are we now? What next? What part is our fault?

We will hit on some of the obvious but also dig deeper to try and get to the root of the matter. There needs to be a shift in how we view, process, and handle things so that the most effective resolve can be reached. Tonight's conversation is for those who see a problem and want to provide tangible solutions. The next generation needs us to dialogue and seriously create a path they can follow. Please join us in this important exchange of thought.

The absence of in-depth sexual conversations within communities of color is something that my co-host Shanta and I have noticed. We attend sex related conferences and workshops on a regular and are oftentimes in the small percentage of Black attendees. Why is that?Tonight we are going to discuss sex within the Black community; things we learned at  SHE (Sexual Health Expo); and ways to enhance your sexual experiences.

I have come across so many people who place all gays in the same box. They assume that because a man is gay that ALL men are his type. They assume that gay men really want to be women. They assume that gay men are soft, feminine, and lack testosterone. Where did those misconceptions come from and what needs to be done to change them? On tonight we are going to discuss and clarify those assumptions, as well as shed new light on the gay 'experience' (for lack of a better word).

Over the last 15 years I have presented at conferences, workshops, and forums across the country. In all my public speaking rarely have I ever shared my full testimony. Recently, one of my close friends asked if he could interview me on my show. I chuckled at the idea but after some convincing I agreed to the idea. Tonight I will share my experience being an author, growing up in church, dating, relationships, living with HIV, and the challenges I face when trying to educate the community about HIV/AIDS. This will probably be the rawest interview I have ever done. Hope to have you in the audience.

A lot happened in 2014 that we can discuss. Tragedy, comedy, drama, unbelievable....you name it this year had it. Tonight my guest co-hosts Lavel, Bridgette and Brentley are going to discuss some of their most memorable moments from the past 12 months. Pop culture, world news, national events; our list is as diverse as they come. Tune in and join the conversation because it is guaranteed to be an in-depth -and sometimes hilarious- review of occurances.
