An archive episode we recored earlier this year in February to celebrate Black History Month. We had a well rounded in-depth conversation on what it means to be unapologetically black. We explore the varying definitions people have when they hear the term (To Be Unapologetically Black) and we discussed how can you take pride in your blackness while still uplifting others. We also honored pivotal black figures in history and discussed what we can we do NOW to ensure that their contributions to history keep moving forward.…
 
In this episode we review the critically acclaimed biopic film "Talk to Me" Directed by Kasi Lemmons and starring Don Cheadle & Taraji P. Henson. This film tells the true story of Radio DJ host & Community activist Ralph "Petey" Greene. We discuss the impact Petey made during the 1960's and how he used his platform to be a voice for the people. We connected his life and the issues he was exploring to current events that are happening today (George Floyd & Black Lives Matter Movement). We also explore the importance of using our voice and platform to inspire and hold space for others that are sometimes left unheard. Tune in for some insight, humor, and inspiration as we discuss this pivotal film that celebrates and honors they varying aspects of Black Culture.…
 
"Rest is a Form of Resisting" Since this is our first episode since August, we decided to discuss the importance of embracing rest into our overall lifestyle. In this episode, we all confessed to be guilty of staying on the grind and constantly on the go, but we decided to take a moment to reset & reflect on what happens to our mind, body, and spirit when we do not incorporate a healthy amount of rest into our daily lives. We have a few articles for you to check out: "The Power of Rest: 4 Ways to Disengage with the Hustle" and "A Day of Rest: 12 Scientific Reasons It Works." Through this conversation we were able to uncover how our culture is socially engineered to believe that constant work and hustle equates power and success. While there is some truth that a strong work ethic will yield great results; we decided to offer the other part to that narrative that it is also equally important to rest as well. When we give ourselves the space to rest, we are actually resisting the "norm" to always perform, produce, and be constantly on the go. A balance lifestyle that reflects a healthy work ethic and moments of peaceful rest can yield results that are powerful and meaningful to our overall well being. We also defined the difference between emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical rest and offered advice to our listeners on how to incorporate more rest into t our day to day lives. We hope this episode encourages you to resist the false narrative that says "we are defined by what we do." Instead, we want to affirm the truth that we are enough because of who you are, not what we do. And we are humans beings capable of demonstrating a strong work ethic but also deserving and in need, of moments of peaceful rest. Give yourself the space and compassion to embrace both.…
 
This week on the podcast we had a lively discussion on the generational divide and came up with proactive solutions on how to bridge the gap. We had the opportunity to have our first ever younger guest from Generation Z ( Jonathan Piper II ) in the studio to offer his perspective on the generational divide. The discussion was engaging and honest, and we were able to come to a common understanding that each generation has something valid and meaningful to offer.…
 
This week on the podcast we had a honest discussion about intimacy and identifying the barriers we place that prevent others from "seeing into us" and allowing them to connect with who we truly are. Needless to say, our conversation was very intimate. We went beyond the scope of sexual intimacy by also discussing emotional, mental, and intellectual intimacy. We offered our insight into what encourages people to feel safe and brave enough to connect and share with others on deeper levels. We also highlighted the "barriers of shame" or "screens of insecurities" that people put up that prevent them from letting others get close to them. Through this episode, we hope you are able to gain a deeper understanding into the benefits of genuine intimacy on multiple levels and we also hope it encourages you to be more comfortable connecting with yourself as well as with others.…
 
This past week on the podcast we had a well rounded conversation on healthy competition and how to be inspired by perceived competitors instead of feeling intimidated by them. We recognize that societal & social media pressures can indirectly or directly propel us to compare ourselves to one another, which can cause a feeling of inadequacy or shame. We discussed why this is problematic and offered some positive tips that would encourage us to become more comfortable with our own journey in life. We have two articles for you to check out: "Unhealthy & Healthy Competition" posted by Skybound.com and "Why We Compare Ourselves to Others on Social Media and HowTo Stop." posted by tinybuddha.com. This episode will prompt you to think more critically about how you view yourself in relation to others, and further motivate you to not only build yourself up in a healthier, more loving way, but to build others up as well in the same fashion. Instead of looking for ways to compare, let's discover ways to celebrate our individual and collective growth.…
 
Beyonce's relentless work ethic & Nipsey's consistent hustle has inspired and moved our culture in a number of ways! In this episode we examined how their movements have encouraged us ALL to strive towards excellence and continue doing the work that will empower ourselves and our local communities. There are two articles for you to check out this week: "Nipsey Hussle's Dreams Were Bigger Than Hip-Hop" posted by the LA Times & "Beyonce's Black Intellectual Homecoming" posted by The Atlantic. We analyzed the impact of Nipsey's death, as well as how his work and legacy continues to live on. We defined Beyonce's work as legendary, and talked about how it serves as inspiration for us all to think about how much we're willing to push ourselves to master the gifts we have to share. Both of these figures have demonstrated consistency and sacrifice towards what they believe and have been unapologetic in lifting up black culture and their community. We hope this episode allows you to celebrate the greatness of what is currently happening in our culture and more importantly, we hope it allows you to recognize that the same greatness lives in you!…
 
This week on the podcast we had a conversation on how to persist after experiencing rejection. Rejection at times can attack our sense of value and self-worth. It can also act as a deterrent, preventing one to further pursue whatever dream, goal, or interest they had in mind. This episode is a motivator to keep you going in the midst of discouragement or temporary failure. We have two articles for you to indulge in: Why Rejection Can Be A Really Good Thing? posted by the Huffington post and 10 Benefits of Rejection posted by lifehack.org. We discussed the reasons why people avoid rejection and the courage and confidence it takes to go after the desires and dreams of your heart. We offered our personal stories dealing with rejection and provided a humble perspective that allowed us to see rejection not as a negative experience but instead, as an experience that allows us to grow and be better. In the words of our host Ashley, "We don't win or lose, we Win or Learn." Tune in and LEARN the different ways to push through any moments of personal or professional rejection in life.…
 
The concept of selling out is layered with multiple viewpoints, and at times, can causes a lot of tension and division in the Black Community community. In this episode we discussed what causes these divides, and if there is a need to have more conversations with those who per se "sell out," or if it is acceptable to "cancel" those that we may not agree with. We have two articles for you to indulge in, "The History of Race, And What Selling Out Means?" posted by The Washington Times and "Everyone is Canceled" posted by the NYTimes. We hope this episode challenges you to be mindful of the different experiences we all share and encourages you to think of more ways to build and connect with others in your community.…
 
Since relationships are the theme for the month of February, we decided to highlight the universal love affair that everyone has experienced -- the relationship we all have with music. Music can define our mood, speak to our spirit, and even tell the story of our lives. In this episode we took the time to think about how music has influenced us over the years by sharing specific songs and albums that relate to our experiences thus far in life. Some of the artists we featured in this episode were: Roy Ayers, ​Common,​ Big Tymers, The Mississippi Mass Choir, & Mary J. Blige, just to name a few. We answered several questions, from reflective ones such as “name a song or album that got you through a difficult time in life”, to intimate questions, such as “name a song or album that reminds you of the first time you fell in love.” We discussed how certain songs and even whole albums have helped us push through difficult times, and how other records have helped us celebrate the good times. Through this episode, we conveyed that music is an outlet that allows us to connect and express the varied emotions we experience. Musics like a partner or a good friend; one who offers comfort and inspiration, and reminds us that we are not alone as we go through this drama we call life.…
 
Partnership, love, intimacy, a feeling of closeness, and connection are basic human needs. The ability to connect and relate is how we thrive as a people. While many people may wonder when and how they will meet the love of their life, there is a bigger question to ask -- how do you determine if the love and relationship you are seeking is healthy? The unfortunate truth is, some people risk entering unhealthy toxic relationships that endanger their sense of self-worth and overall well-being. This week on the podcast we had an intimate conversation about what a healthy relationship looks like, and ways to build stronger self esteem that will not allow you to settle for toxic behaviors from others that you do not deserve.…
