The Kee Pointe

Have you ever had a conversation that was so good it started off being about one thing and then turned into something completely different? ME TOO!

The Black View & MELTALK crossover episode is all over the place! But it’s something to listen to!

Our takes on the COVID-19 vaccine, black representation in media, and more!

MELTALK’s very own is throwing all her cards out on the table in this one. I will answer YOUR deepest darkest questions about my life! I’m an open book! There’s no topic off limits!

Fa-eez Gomda is the CEO/Creative Director of Rizé St clothing. He is a Ghanaian-American with a strong intrest in music, fashion, and art. Fa-eez wants Rizé St to have a mobilizing effect on the fashion industry and on society. The words "Stimulative Garments" printed on some pieces of Rizé clothing are meant to be a call to action for other artists and creators. Rizé ST is a brand that should be recognized for its progressiveness, the quality of its products, and the quality of people that support it. Listen to us talk about what inspires his brand, and where he plans to take it in the future!

As a black woman in America, we experience a unique type of discrimination. We have two oppressed Identities as being black, and being a woman. We deal with misogyny and racism in a way that no otter group in this country would understand. Danyelle Duckett is an openly queer black woman, who is very proud and comfortable in her identity (as she should be). Listen to our conversation about how we’ve experienced the intersectionality of racism, homophobia, and misogyny.

Mental health in the black community is a topic that needs to be at the forefront of our society. Black people have historically faced poorer conditions in this country and around the world due to white supremacy and imperialism. As they say, you’re a product of your environment, and your environment will have a tremendous impact on your mental health. Shelby Hicks and Katelyn Simmons are the founders of Inclusivity, a nonprofit organization that focuses on creating safe spaces to talk about mental health. Jerrick McLeod is the founder of Black Intellect Clothing and a Clinical Mental Health Graduate Student at Fort Valley State University. Listen to our take on the way black mental health is handled in society, and our personal experiences with mental health and access to mental health care.

The best friends edition of MELtalk brought laughs and think pieces! Listen to our thoughts on multiple pop culture current events from Jojo Siwa’s coming out to TI and Tiny’s sexual assault allegations!

Blasian Womack & I had a great conversation about the obstacles within the fashion industry black people face and new initiatives that are attempting to address those inequalities.

Black people have been the blue print for many fashion and pop culture trends since the beginning of time, and it’s time we start getting some recognition from the industry! Big thank you to Blasian Womack for coming on!

The events of January 6th, 2021 were absolutely horrific. I’m sick and tired of white people getting a pass to be crazy and inflict violence, while black people get beaten and killed for fighting for equal justice. Let’s talk about it.
