This week on Urban Proper we're discussing something America is greatly lacking at the moment and that is accountability. Taking ownership or mistakes, situations created, or simply owning up to the time you at your sibling's leftovers while they were at school. Taking accountability is the best way to gain trust and respect in the world!

On this week's episode of Urban Proper, we tackle the subject of Generational Curses and how we, as the generation in our mid 20's to early 30's can rectify what our parents and grandparents didn't teach us. The topic of generational curses is something that, in the Black community, is always talked about, but often times not fully discussed or broken and we are ready to truly break these cycles. It's not just about financial growth, but also mental wellness, addiction, and much much more. Get into it y'all, 2021 is the year we live Generational Curse free!!

Listen, times are crazy. COVID-19 is RAMPANT, unemployment is at an all time high, 45 is refusing to cooperate and leave office quietly, and Congress has yet to sign off on an *appropriate* COVID Relief Fund. In this episode we get down to the nitty gritty! We are FED UP with this bullsh*t excuse for leadership and its time for a real change!!

In this weeks episode we detail exactly the difference between calling us "blacks" versus "Black People" or "African American". Black people have been dehumanized long enough and its time to delete the former from your vernacular. We also discuss acceptance of ALL Black people across the entire diaspora and why you need to put some respeck on our name!!!

Urban Proper is back and better than ever! This year has been CRAZY! Sit back with us as we catch up with each other and catch you up on everything that has happened this year!
