With the recent release of her book, we will have an interview with the one and only Karmel Poet! It has been quite some time and would be nice to catch to see how things have been.

What are you passionate about? What keeps you awake at night? What is the one thing you have found yourself doing, thinking about or planning for so much that you lose track of time? What keeps you going? That is your passion. Your desire. Your drive. Your purpose. Today we will discuss the power of passion and how it affects us. How it drives us and what you can do to be a part of it. If you have not seen the movie Batman vs Superman and you intend to, DO NOT listen to this show. If you have, you NEED TO listen to this show.

I just wanna chat...

Cultural appropriation is a sociological concept which views the adoption or use of elements of one culture by members of a different culture as a largely negative phenomenon. What is it about and how can we avoid it. I think it is time we discuss this at length. If you’re Katy Perry, for example, you believe it’s A-OK to don corn rows and gel down your baby hair, put on some long fingernails and so-called sassy mannerisms with a “blaccent” and slang to portray how you believe certain black women behave and speak. But when you do it, as a white artist, you perpetuate a long legacy of white cultural theft—in addition to bypassing all the racist and misogynist insults those black women must contend with on a daily basis. That includes being called “ghetto” by white (and other) people, typecast as a welfare queen or otherwise told that your natural hairstyles and expressions are inferior and unwelcome. These are symptomatic of slavery and segregation in America and, yes, this really still happens every day. And it’s cultural appropriation.

As writer Tamara Winfrey Harris expertly notes over at Racialicious, it’s the oppression that causes the intense offense that many people—mainly white people—seek to explain away rather than critically question.

Making the decision to have children can be a daunting task. On average it costs nearly a quarter of a million dollars to raise a child. Some people don't want the responsibility. Others can't live without their children. On this show we will weigh the options and discuss the pro's and con's from both sides of the spectrum. Both men and women have made various changes on how they view the want and need for children. Please join us.

It's a matter of respect. Hasn't it always been that way? Then why do we continue to negate the fact that most conflicts are based on the inability of one side to respect the perspective of the other? How often have you looked back at a situation and said, "oh wait, I could have handled that differently"

This conversation is sparked in the wake of the officer who threw a young black girl to the ground in a South Carolina school. Now there is a call to action. An outcry against injustice but... are we looking at this correctly? What is the root cause of the problem? Let's discuss it tonight on WKPJB Radio

Uber Technologies Inc. is an American international transportation network company headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company develops, markets and operates the Uber mobile app, which allows consumers with smartphones to submit a trip request which is then routed to Uber drivers who use their own cars. By May 28, 2015, the service was available in 58 countries and 300 cities worldwide. Since Uber's launch, several other companies have copied its business model, a trend that has come to be referred to as "Uberification".

Uber was founded as "UberCab" by Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp in 2009 and the app was released the following June. Beginning in 2012, Uber expanded internationally. In 2014, it experimented with carpooling features and made other updates. By mid-2015, Uber was estimated to be worth $50B.

Join us as we discuss this phenomenon and tell the stories that come with being in an Uber!
