GROWING UP IN THE CULTURE

Remember the tunes that got your feet moving on a Sunday morning, or the unique 'weapons' your mom brandished when you stepped out of line? Relive those moments with us as Damien L. Butler, Corey, and I spin tales from the black experience that are as deeply resonant as they are entertaining. We kick things off reminiscing about the nostalgic journey from the kids' to the adult table at family gatherings and the unspoken languages of neighborhood play that marked our childhood.
This episode is brimming with laughter and earnest reflection as we navigate the complexities of family dynamics, gender roles, and the stereotypes that have long shaped the perception of African Americans in sports, media, and society. We dissect the portrayal of black American women and the cultural appropriation that often accompanies their influence, all while sharing our own personal anecdotes. Meanwhile, I offer a peek into my social media strategy for content creation, blending the earnestness of my professional endeavors with the joyous spirit that personal branding should evoke.
Join us for a celebration of the black community's strength, challenges, and contributions, particularly the strides made by black women in education and the workforce. We also honor the black officers in the military who carry the weight of representation on their shoulders. Each story shared is a thread in the rich tapestry of our collective identity and progress. Come aboard this heartfelt journey, and be sure to bring your memories—and a sense of humor—along for the ride.
