This week on TMI, Tamika Mallory dives deep into the heavy issues shaping our communities from the government’s shell game with education funding and the mass push of Black women out of the workforce, to the heartbreaking rise of domestic violence cases taking Black women’s lives.

Tamika keeps it all the way real about how unity is the only way forward in these turbulent times, and why we can’t just “talk” about the issues anymore it’s time for action. She also shares her thought of the day, calling out the silent crisis of Black women being killed in domestic violence situations and demanding the outrage and solutions our sisters deserve.

Then, we shift gears into an inspiring conversation with Lanny Smith, founder of Actively Black, the athleisure brand that’s more than fashion it’s a movement. From his journey as an NBA player to building a brand that invests back into Black communities, to creating fashion shows that are true cultural experiences featuring icons like Bernice King, Ruby Bridges, and more, Lanny breaks down why owning our culture and supporting Black-owned businesses is crucial for our future.
