The SIPmyTHOUGHTS Pod

This new series will feature black men talking about any and everything that affects them or anything they want to get off of their chest. Ep. 1 of this series features returning guests AR Junior and Dr. Russell Ledet and we discuss specifically how black boys who become men enter the world at a handicap among other things.

In continuation from Part 1 with my brother Shayne Odum, we discuss men and women not looking for a "father" or "mother" in a potential girlfriend, or boyfriend. Sometimes, you and that individual are meant to be friends and nothing more; something we also discuss on part 1 of this episode. Unlearning and doing the work is another way of how black men/women can protect one another from each other in the dating space.

Coming off of the "Protect the Black Woman" series, my brother Shayne Odum and I hopped on my pod to discuss unlearning things older males whether father, uncles, or brothers taught (or didn't teach) black men in general about dating. We also discuss men and women not looking for a "father" or "mother" in a potential girlfriend, or boyfriend. Sometimes, you and that individual are meant to be friends and nothing more; something we also discuss on part 1 of this episode. Unlearning and doing the work is another way of how black men/women can protect one another from each other in the dating space.

The series began with two episodes with women, followed by two with men. Now, both parties come together to end the series discussing each other's point of view, what protection looks like for black women, heavy conversation centered on ceasing the term "devil's advocate" when it comes to black women experiencing domestic violence, getting our Ph.D. in listening intently and how we proceed forward amicably as a clan.

Guests: Esstene' West, Martina Henderson, Leah Davis, Kaylon McCou, Rashad Junior, Ricardo Suggs, and Marcus Johnson

The series continues in the second iteration with black men. In this episode, we tackle a black man's quarrel with women on social media, how our relationship with mother's may play a part in our dealings with black women, what does protection of black women look like from the perspective of two black, married men, therapy, unlearning behavior from our parents, and the role trans women and the LGBTQIA+ community has played in the role of black liberation.

We listened to the ladies, now it's time for the men to have discourse based on what the women communicated. Episodes 3 and 4 of this series will feature men learning, discussing issues that may contribute to the way black men treat black women, and finding common ground to right our wrongs.

This episodes features, Rashad Junior, Kaylon McCou, Dr. Russell Ledet and Marcus Johnson (Marc J).

In this episode, Black women, in their nurturing, soothing way, encourages black men to seek therapy, unlearn bad ideology passed down from parents, (mothers specifically), and do the work in order to better show up for black women.

Queens featured: Kristian Dobard (K. Doee), Kristin Kendrick, Leah Davis and Martina Katherine.

Episode 14 is a 4 or 5 part series that will involve discourse with black women first and then black men in various episodes. With so much disrespect aimed in the direction of THE black woman by society and unfortunately black men, our queens will discuss the animus aimed their way, their feelings about it and how black men can better support them.

A trip to the Whitney Plantation in Louisiana initially set out to serve as a history lesson between a daughter and father.

Who knew it would spark a movement after a photo of 15 black Tulane Medical Students went viral, an idea sparked by Dr. Russell Ledet, Co-Founder and President of what is now known as The 15 White Coats.

Myself and Dr. Ledet have a therapy session the first hour of the pod where we discuss our frustration with being black in America over the past few weeks with the death of #GeorgeFloyd, #BreannaTaylor and other unfortunate deaths of black people at the bloody hands of police.

We then discuss how The 15 White Coats was created, its intended purpose and how it serves as a representation of inspiration and hope for the next generation of children to pursue medical careers.
