We continue our journey in the media world, setting our sights on Bill Simmons and the Ringer network. Amidst a sea of unoriginality, one voice stands out - Van Lathan. With him, we delve into the gritty reality of 'black faces vs black voices' and the freedom of speech in the workplace. Our expedition also brings us face-to-face with personal transformation, the healing power of self-care, and the creative projects that have deeply affected us.

Eps. #47 The Risk of Certain Visible Careers, Travis Hunter Hit, and Tyler Perry's Dating Advice

The journey of certain careers at a high level come with a lot of risk of backlash as well as opportunities. Speaking of backlash, remember that slap heard around the world with Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars? And then there's the world of dating, particularly for Black women. Tyler Perry's advice to them about dating men with less money seems oversimplified. Our producer, Morgan (an actual Black woman) chimes in on this one with a simple message, stop telling Black women what to do.
Join me on this exploration of the chaos in our world, and the world within us. Let's question, learn, and laugh together as we navigate through the complexities of life.
