Ain't I A Woman: Women’s History Month Kickoff
March 05, 2021 19:53 - 23 minutes - 54.5 MBThis week kicks off Women’s History Month with a discussion about trailblazing Black women, and we're making sure to include the Black women shaping U.S. history in real time. Republican governors in Texas and Mississippi recently announced they are ending face mask requirements in their states and allowing businesses to open at 100% capacity — even as the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage throughout the country. Black communities have been among the hardest-hit by COVID-19. Many of t...

February 26, 2021 20:00 - 31 minutes - 72.3 MBIt’s the last week of Black History month, fam! And on this episode, drawing from the lens of Black history, the hosts imagine a future where all Black people have access to proper medicine and technological advancements, and imagine a moment in time where Black trans women are protected, loved and respected by all members of the community.

Art & Soul featuring Felicia D. Henderson
February 19, 2021 19:30 - 48 minutes - 112 MBBlack history needs to be celebrated all year long, but Black History Month is an apt time to give flowers to our giants whose talents and contributions often go overlooked. This week on the podcast we're uplifting some of the unsung living legends of today. We sing singer-songwriter extraordinaire Jazmine Sullivan’s praises, shine a light on Black artist and scholar David Driskell and give props to Hollywood veteran Vivica A. Fox. Later in the episode, Producer Felicia D. Henderson sits do...
Love & Liberation featuring Dominique Fishback
February 12, 2021 20:54 - 38 minutes - 87.7 MBWithout question, “Judas and the Black Messiah” is one of this year’s most highly anticipated films. The project, co-written and directed by Shaka King, is a star-studded story of betrayal ― here, the killing of Black Panther Party Chairman Fred Hampton as told by Bill O’Neal, the police informant who did him in. Hampton’s killing by Chicago police is a story familiar to many, but in “Judas,” depictions of Hampton’s surroundings during that period ― aswirl with friends, family and foes ― ad...
Through Thick & Thin featuring Mara Brock Akil
February 05, 2021 19:23 - 26 minutes - 60.4 MBHappy Black History Month, fam! It’s the time of the year, when we get to be unapologetically us and pay homage to our legends, angels and heroes. On this episode we focus on the legacy of Hollywood icon Cicely Tyson, who recently died at age 96. We also discuss the Nobel Peace Prize nominations for both Stacey Abrams and the Black Lives Matter movement, notable snubs from the Golden Globe Awards nominations, and why you should probably watch the NAACP Image Awards instead. Later on Taryn ...
Exit…Shade Right featuring Ivie Ani
January 29, 2021 21:37 - 27 minutes - 63.3 MBColorism is centuries old, yet some folks wanna act brand new. Singer DaniLeigh dropped a Triller video of her bopping to her latest single “Yellow Bone” on Sunday. In the song, she expresses her man’s love for “yellow bones,” a very problematic way to describe light-skinned women. Not only was the song terrible, but it was drenched in colorist language. After people on social media called her out, the Dominican singer issued an apology that made it clear that she didn’t understand why he...
Let's Get Loud featuring Erin Evans
January 22, 2021 22:10 - 41 minutes - 94.8 MBWelcome back, y’all! This Inauguration Day ― held in spite of violent white supremacist insurrectionists who just weeks ago waged a war on the U.S. Capitol to prevent it ― simply hit different. On our first episode of 2021, we reflect on the inauguration and how we each celebrated the transition of power from Ol’ Boy and His Friends to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. There is a lot of work ahead for the new administration, but the inauguration afforded us all deserved...
Never Would Have Made It featuring Alex Elle
December 18, 2020 18:13 - 53 minutes - 122 MBIt’s the last episode of the year, and we have to be honest and, most important, we have to be real: 2020 done snatched everyone’s wigs off their heads in some way, shape or form. However, 2021 is approaching like a thief in the middle of the night, and we’re hoping the new year comes with some wig glue to stick our crowns right back on our heads. This week, Taryn and Shaquille talk with author and wellness consultant Alex Elle about her new book, “After the Rain: Gentle Reminders for Hea...

For Us By Us featuring We Buy Black CEO Shareef Abdul-Malik
December 05, 2020 03:00 - 41 minutes - 94.4 MBJust because Black Friday and Small Business Saturday have passed doesn’t mean you can’t continue to support Black-owned businesses. This week, we're joined by We Buy Black CEO Shareef Abdul-Malik to discuss the importance of cooperative economics and supporting Black businesses this holiday season and far beyond. Elsewhere in the episode, we cover former President Barack Obama’s critique of the phrase “defund the police,” Chet Hanks’ audacity, plastic surgery double standards and Keyshia...
Industry Rule #4080 featuring Nikole Hannah-Jones
November 27, 2020 09:00 - 48 minutes - 111 MBJust in time for Thanksgiving week, Nikole Hannah-Jones joins the podcast to discuss revisionist history, which often omits the ways slavery provided a foundation for the U.S. to thrive. She is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The New York Times Magazine and creator of the 1619 Project. In the time since its debut, “The 1619 Project” has been widely celebrated for its candor and creativity, and some schools around the country have even introduced it into their curricula. Predictably, t...

November 20, 2020 10:00 - 38 minutes - 87.9 MBY'all, 2020 has put her foot in it! This year we've seen heavy news of all sorts, from endless instances of police shooting Black people, to a deadly pandemic and an election that saw the nation teetering on the brink of autocracy.

For the first time in history, a Black, South Asian American woman who graduated from a historically Black university has been elected vice president. And, of course, Donald Trump is having a hissy fit instead of bowing out gracefully. After four long days of vote-counting drama, Four Seasons (Total Landscaping, not the hotel chain!) mix-ups and Bla...

November 06, 2020 21:23 - 40 minutes - 93.7 MBThe madness surrounding the election just could not keep us away from our listeners this week. We’re back and switching it up this episode for an election special, and we’re joined by Jamelle Bouie, New York Times columnist and political analyst for CBS News, to discuss all there is to know about the 2020 election and the potential results. “Going into election night, the expectation was that this was either going to be a total repudiation of the president’s party or they hold on somehow.”...

Act Too featuring Tarana Burke
October 23, 2020 08:00 - 43 minutes - 99.9 MBThis year, a confluence of social catastrophes in America has shed light on longstanding, life-altering power imbalances. The coronavirus pandemic, protests against police violence and numerous high-profile incidents involving sexual and domestic violence have all revealed that suffering is not shared equally. Even during times of universal crisis, there are always groups who fare better than others by exploiting their privilege. Tarana Burke, founder of the Me Too movement, has spent deca...
The Fight To #ENDSARS featuring Osai Ojigho
October 16, 2020 08:00 - 39 minutes - 90.7 MBWhile Americans are calling to defund the police in the United States, Nigerians are demanding an end to police corruption and violence through the global hashtag #ENDSARS.

Though the global attention to this issue is new, Amnesty International Country Director Osai O...

Lesson Learn'd featuring Jamaal Bowman
October 02, 2020 08:00 - 46 minutes - 108 MBFor our first episode, we knew we had to welcome a guest who could match our steez ― someone proudly, loudly and unquestionably Black, unbothered by his haters and with an uncommon amount of energy. We wanted someone whose spirit would help set the tone for the types of wide-ranging convos we’ll be having with y’all each week. Enter Jamaal Bowman from New York, a rising star of the Democratic Party, a former school principal and ― we should say ― a certified rhyme-spitter. Bowman, a first-t...
