the (THESIS)

Welcome to the (THESIS) season three. The chapters recorded for this season will tackle a wide range of subjects from pop culture to politics that I hope will expand the mental landscape of what it means to be African American. Oftentimes, African Americans are used as the negative scapegoat of western culture. In my opinion, no culture should be boxed into any trope that is not indicative of its totality. There are so many nuances that embody what it means to be African American. It is my belief that African Americans have significantly aided in shaping western culture. The empirical evidence of influence is more recognizable now than ever. The topics discussed this season will solidify that notion. In stating this, I dedicate this season to the culture. I hope that you enjoy it. Please be encouraged.
