On this episode of TMI with Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne “The General”, we get ALL the way into it. From the real story behind skipping Essence Fest, to breaking down the ongoing Target boycott, how they tried to camouflage their presence at Essence, and why staying true to the people matters more than any stage or spotlight.

Then, we shift gears for part 2 of the  Pull Up for Peace conference that brought together over 600 community organizers, peacekeepers, and violence interrupters from across the country. We talk about the power of honoring those on the front lines, what it really means to heal as a community, and why choosing peace doesn’t mean being soft—it means being strategic.
