Say Something Episode 101 - Our Female Foundation

With all of the marches, protests and community outrage that took place in 2020 was there any resolution? Speaking out is happening less and less and with vaccines going out across the country to end this pandemic there feels like the shift to "business as usual" is happening. It's one thing when "the machine" just tries to move on, but when organizations received money and haven't done anything with it for those intended are they as bad or worse than the problem they were created to address?

Say Something Episode 102 - Rage Against The Machine Until The Check Clears

America is all about narratives. Black mothers the face of welfare, Latinos the face of immigration, Black males the face of crime, Muslims the face of terrorism, etc. As reports increase on attacks against members of the Asian community, the terrible mass shooting in Georgia happened. The shooter a white male, peacefully taken into custody. In a nation all about narratives when will this one be addressed? Listen/Comment/Subscribe and Say Something!!!

Say Something Episode 103 - Face Of The Franchise

In the Marvel movie "Endgame", half of the population disappeared after the snap of a finger to return back to "normal" after 5 years. Covid-19 was that snap for our society. As the world begins to open back up, many of us are returning from obscurity to figure out how to settle back into school, work, life and find that balance. Meanwhile, the world has continued spinning, people have been affected, the economy has shifted, sensitivities have shifted and there's a new normal for us to figure out.

Say Something Episode 104 - Thanos Snap

As we celebrate the life of Earl "DMX" Simmons, his story is full of great highs in music but also with adversity and controversy. Not only childhood but the trauma we experience as an adult directly effects our relationships, coping mechanisms and daily behavior. Constant imagery of police brutality and community violence along with what we personally go through shapes us a little more each day. We may not all end up with a platinum selling recording career, but we do all have a song. If it's one of simply trauma or of healing will be up to us.

Say Something Episode 105 - How It's Going Down

It's easy to sit back and speak of today's youth critiquing them for what they aren't doing. Words like entitled & sensitive get thrown around, are they more emotional or is this evolution? Between music, movies, social media and society they're not operating from the same playbook as previous generations. We tell them about the "good old days", and say how they "should" be, but what are we actually showing them? Listen/Comment/Subscribe and Say Something!!!

Say Something Episode 106 - Models Of Possibility

In the same week we said goodbye to Rapper/Actor/Father Earl "DMX" Simmons we lost Bad Boy's Black Rob & Shock G of Digital Underground. There was a slight sense of justice as a guilty verdict came down for former police officer Derek Chauvin and the killing of George Floyd, only to be eclipsed my multiple officer involved shootings of Black men & women including 16 year old Ma'Khia Bryant hours after the verdict. If we're acknowledging that we're dealing with the same issues we have to be real about addressing the same flawed attempts at solutions. Listen/Share/Subscribe/Comment and Say Something!!!

Say Something Episode 107 - Same Song

Recently US Sen. Tim Scott made news by saying "America is not a racist country". After an entire year of protests based around race and law enforcement. The previous administration painted as the face of racism and division. With an executive order immediately put in place to specifically protect Asians and Pacific Islanders from violence and discrimination. Is this a question of how we see America or what we choose not to see?

Say Something Episode 19 - Do What You Gotta Do

How upset can we or do we get when our perception of someone is broken? How well do we really know the people our children and ourselves look up to?

Say Something Episode 24 - What You Perceive Is What You Get

With Father's Day this weekend we're looking at parenting. Is making money and staying out of jail the only real gauge we look at when it comes to being "good parents?" Does the claim of "I'm the mother and the father" or "I don't need a man/woman" empower or damage a child? Is being left to be a single parent a form of victimization or just the result of poor choices? Listen, share, comment & Say Something!

As we look at the state of our communities we have to look at our family structure. How much importance do we place on love? Are Black Men & Women moving towards different goals or just away from each other? Is interracial dating a cause or an effect of some of the divide among Black Men & Women? We've got special guests Passion, D. Haze & Kayla to help bring the female perspective as we Say Something!!!

Say Something Episode 36 - Who's Loving You? w/ Guests Passion, D. Haze & Kayla

A statement that began with  Kaepernick has now made international headlines even to the point of drawing criticisms from the current president. Taking a knee was started to draw attention to the disproportionate way black/brown Americans are treated by law enforcement & now it's become a battle over freedom of speech and patriotism. With a constantly changing narrative and people double downing on their particular point of view, how do we get back on message? If we do, what does success look like? If we don't, where do we go from there? Listen/comment/share & Say Something!

Say Something Episode 40 - Taking A Knee...In A Major Way

In a nation driven by "fear/safe" logic, with all of the tragedies and issues we're facing today at what point do we need to saved from ourselves? With proposed felony registrations, mandatory DNA submissions, strict gun regulations, tighter police involvement, etc at what point and to what extent are we willing to trade in our civil liberties to be "protected from ourselves"?

Say Something Episode 41 - I Wanna Be Saved

"If you're not cheating...you're not trying." In a society that looks down on losing more than cheating what incentive is there to "Do The Right Thing?"  We even have some that move away from the community to be closer to "the winning team". In a system where "winning isn't everything, it's the only thing" are they wrong? Do the ends justify the means?

Say Something Episode 44 - Winner Winner

We've all heard things like, "everyone makes mistakes", "they used poor judgement", even "it's just a phase" but what happens when it's not a mistake or a phase and it's now the norm? When bad decisions have become common practice and things that were once shamed are now celebrated? Or worse...go unnoticed... When we've created an environment and a culture that is destroying us from the inside what do we do?

Say Something Episode 47 - Doing It For The Culture

With new policies coming in to place in January, things like the legalization of marijuana and  regulations when it comes to gun control that were once seen as wrong are suddenly being seen as right. We have prisons filled with people who were convicted for things that are no longer crimes, yet not being released. In a nation where the moral compass and even justice itself changes with opportunities how much attention are we paying to the changing tides?

Say Something Episode 61 -  Politics As Usual With Special Guest Tef Poe

Separating the individual from their talent is a problem this world faces everyday. Loving someone for an amazing ability or skill then finding out their character doesn't align with their level of talent is hard for many. In America nearly 1 out of 4 women have been sexually abused by the age of 18. A number most believe to be higher because many women don't come forward and name their accuser. What do we do when someone who through their talents has brought us joy and amazing experiences, then we find out has brought so much pain to others? Are we willing to let go of those favorite movies, songs, shows and moments? When the truth is brought to light it's easy to say "go after all of those involved", but are we really ready to do that as a society because so many in their personal lives have also been guilty of looking the other way?

Say Something Episode 74 - My Mind's Telling Me No

It seems like every other day there is a new incident that enrages us that seems to go away just as quickly. Whether it be treatment in a particular store or establishment or belittlement by way of "jokes" or mockery, we get upset, scream "boycott this" and there seems to be no follow through. We criticize those who don't participate in our anger but who's worse, them for not getting involved or us for not staying involved? Listen/Comment/Share/Subscribe and Say Something!!!

Say Something Episode 75 - Fake Black Rage...Again

We're back with special guest and author Khalil Ferguson! We hear the phrase, "seat at the table" but what value does that really bring and what about the intentions of those invited and doing the inviting? With the community constantly getting distracted by every passing fad is it unreasonable to make moves for ourselves because we no longer believe in the group? Is there truly an opportunity to succeed in changing the system from within and if so what are some examples of success? Listen/Comment/Share and Say Something!!!

Say Something Episode 86 - Room Full Of Vultures With Khalil Ferguson

It seems as if every month a new old movie is coming out. The 3rd remake of this or part 9 of that. In an era with so many technological advances it seems there are no new ideas or creativity in entertainment. Are we at a loss for new ideas or are we being handed the same message and programming? What does this say about what we consume and are entertained by? Listen/Comment/Share and Say Something!!!

Say Something Episode 93 - 2020 Won

After what is being deemed as domestic terrorism took place at the Capitol, the nation now has to take a long look at itself. Clear disparities in how protesters last week were treated as opposed to the BLM protests just 6 months before shine a bright light on the difference in Americas its citizens live in. With a president facing his 2nd impeachment, a new one about to be sworn in and a nation feeling more divided, what does it look like moving forward?

What does true equality look like? Biden signing a new Executive Order allowing transgender citizens to join the military has been met with opposition. Policies to let student athletes compete as and against the gender they identify with, have some people saying it's unfair. Challenging the work of a politician is standard, but will addressing the first Black female VP's work be seen as business as usual or attacking the Black woman? Are we fighting for true equality or simply opportunities?

Say Something Episode 96 - True Equality

A common word being used in today's politics, business & news is "diversity". Where different groups are represented. But what happens when the ones put in don't truly align with the group they're representing? Is it better to not be represented than misrepresented? What do we do about the people who use us to get into position, then forget about us? Code switching...then the switch up! Listen/Subscribe/Share & Say Something!!!

Our 100th episode! With stories of the BLM organization taking in over $90 million how much will find its way into the communities and people who can really benefit from it?
