The Science of Falling in Love

Is there ever an appropriate time to use the "N" word? &nbsp;Some would say that there are moments when it's okay, and others would just flat-out disagree. Join me and my guest, Lord Harris, in this two-part series, as we discuss his personal experience&nbsp;with the "N" word.&nbsp;

The "N: Word:  To use or not to use?

The "Race" Conversation

In this bonus episode, I apologize for using the word Hispanic interchangeably with the word Latino in a future&nbsp;episode. &nbsp;I was using the language of the census&nbsp;bureau and found myself down the rabbit hole of self-identification. &nbsp;It was not my intention to group identities together and realize that there is a difference between the two. &nbsp;Please accept my apology as I continue to educate myself on when certain words should be used. &nbsp;I want to be as respectful as I possibly can. In our current racial and ethnic climate as a country, it is definitely time to acknowledge how we refer to our brothers and sisters from all nations. &nbsp;I want to recognize my mistakes. &nbsp;I am open to criticism. &nbsp;This is how I learn. I stand corrected and I will continue to use my voice in efforts to be fair and respectful. &nbsp;

Hispanic Vs Latino

Nappily Ever After was great as a book but missed the point as a movie. While it was not a total fail, it lacked the depth that the book had to offer. &nbsp;If you have never read the book, this Netflix film was probably a two thumbs up for you, but once you know something you can unknow it and that is where my problem rests with this film. There were so many opportunities for this book to outline current events in a fun and cute way, but instead, it just became an instant "b movie" classic. You, know not all bad, but not all that good either. But don't take my word for it. Go check out the book and the movie and come to your own conclusion. Happy listening! &nbsp;

Lei is interviewed by her sister, JaVan. &nbsp;We learn that Lei is into reading dystopian fiction and she used to be a librarian, among other things. &nbsp;They laugh and have a good time as part one of this three-part&nbsp;interview reveals a bit of her sense of humor. Listen closely you may even hear a bit of Lei's East Coast accent on display as she is in a familiar comfort zone. Have questions that you want to be answered?
