  • 61 - Access

    Let's talk about "Access." Access, as we have seen over the last few weeks with entertainers and celebrities such as P. Diddy, Rashee Rice of the Kansas City Chiefs and Young Thug for example has left them in questionable situations amid circumstances aroung their alleged actions.

    Access when used properly can elevate you, your family and those around you. But when used negatively, that access can hire dire consequences as these celebrities/entertainers are learning.

    In this episode, I break down these alleged actions and instances and how free will can allow you to make decisions that might not hurt you today, but most certainly can and will tomorrow.

  • 59- Gatekeeping Black Culture

    I'm concerned. Our culture is continuing to be exploited, but what are we receiving in return? Also, why are we playing a part in giving our culture away, while also sullying one another for likes, views and shares? We are playing an active part in the degradation of our culture, but is the financial gain and faux popularity worth it? Should we be gatekeeping black culture? In this episode, I provide examples as I discuss the pros of affirmative action being overturned, Deion Sanders in the HBCU space and other real world examples where I pose real scenarios and pose real questions? Are we doing enough to preserve our culture? Tap in.

  • 57- Dawn Staley exposes bigger issue outside NCAA Tournament

    While most conversations regarding the Women's National Championship are centered around Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, the poignant statement Dawn Staley gave after Friday's loss to Clark and Iowa exposed a bigger societal issue affecting black people with black women centered at the forefront.

    Research I conducted 10 years ago has arisen with Staley's statement and I discuss it in this episode.

  • 56- Am I My Brother's Keeper?

    The recent show of love shared by Jonathan Majors for Michael B. Jordan made me wonder if we are our brothers/sisters keeper?

    How can we better show and exude love for one another?

    I briefly discuss what we can do, the business model of mainstream news and why you don't see more of our stories broadcasted outside of sports, and how we can build our community.

  • 54- When Will We Choose Us?

    Deion Sanders is leaving Jackson State University for the University of Colorado. He came to JSU stating he wanted to "change the game" and "level the playing field" for HBCUs.

    His exodus, however, is leaving a bad taste in the mouths of Jacksonians. Those outside of the country say JSU fans should be "grateful" for Prime's presence.

    In this episode, you will learn JSU fans are not mad at Prime opting for upwards mobility, it is the way he went about it and the unfulfilled promises he made.
