While Black

What is stopping you from claiming a seat at the table of your choosing or creating your own table should that be your preference.  In so many cases the answer is simple - Us! it

If you are a dreamer, and lets be honest, which of us is not, then this episode is for you.  Our guest is a builder, dreamer, achiever and amazingly dope individual by the name of Bimma Williams.  Bimma identified somethings missing in his world early and has spent every day since filling in the gaps for himself and for us--- he has literally created a business, agency, and podcast around helping us fill our voids and tell our stories outloud.

There aint much we like more than someone unafraid to try, unafraid to fail forward, and unafraid to win...except for someone who is willing to do all of that and then inspire you to do the same.  That is exactly what is happening in this amazing episode featuring a good friend of Vince's by the name of Eldredge Washington.

Eldredge is a renaisance man who has his hands in community organizing, activism, entrepreneurship, and has the podcast/media word in a chokehold.  After all that, the brother has nuggets of information galore.

You absolutely cannot miss this episode and please share it with those in your world who need to be inspired.

Black folks don't swim.  We have all heard it, and most of us have said it, but historically is it true, and if it is true, why do you think that is?  This episode with Nick Askew, Howards Hall of Fame Swim, Dive, and Tennis coach, will enlighten you from start to finish on our real history of swimming while black and how we have been systematically pulled "out of the water."

There has been civil unrest, a riot, or a massacre due to police action in every century since at least 1890, and in most, if not all centuries, there have been multiple.  This fact has not changed in all this time, but what has changed is that today almost every citizen has a camera on them at all times and can catch the horrible events happening.  But what if your phone were much more than a camera?  What if it were the bill of rights, a list of the applicable laws, your own personal videographer or reporter, and live action attorney ensuring that no traffic stop or interaction with the police was ever the same?  Well, that is exactly what your phone is today, thanks to the Legal Equalizer app.

Today we have the Legal Equalizer app founder and CEO, Mbye Nije, in the chair as he breaks down the facts and figures of police brutality and talks in-depth about many of the solutions.

This episode is not to be missed.

Today's episode is a scorcher, and at the same time, it's filled with a perspective that we all need to hear. So consider this: is the idea of a ride-or-die chick even fair? Is ride or die the standard, and if it is, then id ask if it should be. 

Our guest today, Shanita Hubbard, lays out information about feminism and carefully delivers her message against the backdrop of hip-hop as a lifestyle. 

Make sure to grab her book Ride or Die: A Feminist Manifesto for the Well Being of Black Women.

Tune in, turn it up loud, and gain some perspective.

While Black kicks off our new year this week on Thursday but in the meantime, we wanted to share another episode from our sister show on REVOLT TV - Monuments To Me.  Enjoy this conversation and make sure to check them out wherever you listen to podcasts

Today’s episode of the Monuments to Me is going to be a spicy one. We’re joined by none other than Medinah Monroe and Kiki Said So, the brilliant, bright, and funny duo behind the Cocktales: Dirty Discussions podcast. 

Medinah and Kiki are removing the thin, laced veil between dating for purpose and dating for pleasure. They talk about sex in a completely unfiltered way that paves the way for liberation, full expression, and allowance to ask for what you want. They share their thoughts on body counts (and what society might deem as a “respectful” number), the biggest misconceptions on sex from a female perspective, how to up your sex game, and how to take your dating beyond pleasure. 

This episode removes all the stigmas around sex, so join Medinah and Kiki for this fun and oh-so-intimate discussion and learn how you can spice your sex life up unapologetically.
