Who Taught You How To Drive?!

Drivin’ while…coaching?!

This week, we talk with Sincerely Syreeta, a true blacktrepreneur, developing expertise in the fields of journalism, writing, motivational speaking, and coaching people on their personal growth journeys. She’s got roots in Pittsburgh and Delaware, but has double-parked her way into these Philly streets with a vengeance. Syreeta represents for all the women supporting other sistas, even if it means ridin dirty at age 6.

Drivin’ while…thinkin’ of revenge?!

This week, we talk with Erica, who has called Philly home for a while, but she still remembers the culture shock of moving here and trying to merge. And don’t get her started about the PPA, either. We get into how early experiences in the car with her mom instilled an explorer’s spirit and we learn her ultimate parking authority fantasy.

Driving while sick?! is no fun.

So while flu weather lays some of us all the way down this week, we present some entertainment you can listen to or watch while you’re all cozied up in the house.

This week you’ll hear our very first live podcast performance with the PRX Google Podcasts creator program. In the first international cohort of the program, we participated in a 6 month podcast intensive on design thinking and all things pod related. We even mounted a live show, invited folx and fam from all over, and had a blast exhibiting all that we’d learned and developed throughout that time. It was magic. Dylan Marron was there…and 6 teams of brilliant pod producers rocked the house at WBUR’s City Space in Boston. We also went on to do that same show in Orlando Florida later that year. Aaaah, missing my people. Anyways, you can listen here, but I’ll also add the link so you can check it out on Youtube to do the car dance with us and see Dabigbaby. Come ride with us!

Drivin’ while…meditating?!

This week, we talk with storyteller, digital media producer and filmmaker Jos Duncan, about her small stint as a Cutlass Ciera Girl. She’s got lots of love to give…in a totally platonic way, of course. And might take her mobile therapy idea on the road. I mean, it did get her the scoop on a celebrity film. Come ride with us!

Drivin’ while small time preppin’?!

This week, we talk with none other than Nina “Lyrispect” Ball, an award winning poet, author, and performer. She talks, exploring small time prepping, bike lanes or the lack thereof, and Nina’s own enduring road trip memories. The conversation takes us around the block and then some, reminding us to reconsider our privilege as a driver and to take just a smidge more perspective.  ****
