Dr. Oye discusses why he is running for D.C. Council At Large, what he is hearing from residents across the city, and why D.C. needs leadership that is proactive, honest, and rooted in the real lives of everyday people.

This conversation explores public safety, teen curfews, food insecurity, unemployment, D.C. statehood, federal interference, UDC, housing, and the need for a city government that listens before communities reach a breaking point.

Dr. Oye also speaks about the importance of using data to shape policy, investing in literacy, supporting young people before they are criminalized, and building a D.C. where every ward feels seen, respected, and served.

This is not just a political conversation. It is a conversation about power, accountability, and what D.C. residents deserve.

In this Black History Month special, Dr. Duvalier Malone takes you to the moment America could no longer look away. We revisit the brutal death of Emmett Till and the fearless decision by Mamie Till Mobley to show the world the truth through an open casket, turning private grief into public resistance. This episode traces how that shockwave reached a generation of young people in the 1960s who saw themselves in Emmett, and how that awakening helped fuel the organizing, marching, and moral urgency that led to the movement's defining moments, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic speech on August 28, 1963.

In this must-hear episode of Those Who Give a Damn, Dr. Duvalier Malone sits down with Dr. Heavenly Kimes — celebrity dentist, entrepreneur, and star of Bravo's Married to Medicine — for a powerful and revealing conversation about purpose, public service, and political courage. Dr. Heavenly opens up about why she's stepping out of the TV spotlight and into one of Georgia's most closely watched Congressional races.
