Uncle 360 talmbout Black male vulnerability while reflecting on the Fruitvale Station screening and panel discussion the night before. the illustrious panel consisted of Abena Sankofa Imhotep, B. Well, Andre Davis, Matthew Maté Bruce, Pastor Brian Brown, and the spirit of Oscar Grant, àṣẹ. it was a blessing to be in community with everyone there.   i asked the q...

wherein, this one we welcome my Uncle David to the show. we've been foreshadowing and looking forward to this one. this episode is about family lore, memory keeping, role models, encyclopedias, and pheasant feathers. don't wait, talk to your elders.  peace ya'll ❤️🖤💚

wherein, this one we welcome back the homie Cameron Gray. Cam reached out because he needed to process some grief. i'm honored that he would choose me as a friend and BGWIO as a space to process the weight of loss. we ring the bell for Bama Gray and pray her travels are consecrated, the ancestors' embrace is warm, and God's peace prevails. àṣẹ.  peace ya'll ❤️🖤💚

wherein, this one is just me again. i wanted to talk with my Uncle Dave, but he couldn't make it (yet). so, instead, i talked about what my Uncle has taught me—through instruction, example, and caveat. this is about memory, caution, and those people who teach us where to go—even when they don't realize it.

Wherein, this one i fly solo again. i'm at the beginning of a retreat into myself. a path to self-love and self-parenting. sunrises over epiphanies. lucid dreams. the gravity of non-metabolized sadness. i hope you gain something from this work.    peace y'all ❤️🖤💚

Wherein, this one i have the pleasure of welcoming my first born to the show. we start with corn sweat and talk about all the things we are wont to talk about as two scatterbrained individuals. he is my mirror, a bright shining reflection. this caps the Bros series.    peace y'all  ❤️🖤💚

this one is the second episode in a series of three episodes, wherein i chop it up with my suns. BGWIO had the pleasure of welcoming the middlest, Canaan, this time. he is a performing artist, thespian, musician, and singer. we riffed on making art, absorbing stinging critique, and "dysregulation of expectations." tune in to figure out wth that means. guest: Canaan @canaanrofficial   pea...

This one, we've got my youngest, Irie on the podcast. he's a recent high school graduate and my doppelganger in a few ways. wherein, we talked about Florida as a home to invasive species—including the wildest human animals, and getting out of Iowa ASAP. Guest: Irie @hateirie peace y'all❤️🖤💚

This one features Cameron Gray, my artist comrade from Birmingham, AL, based out of Ames, IA. wherein we discuss family and longing, villainy, the beauty of antiheros like Damian Wayne and Logan, the beautiful game of basketball and its pantheon of orishas and demigods.    peace y'all ❤️🖤💚

This one was really a reflection on Black women's purported withdrawal from political saviorism and an invitation to use this time as maroonage time.    The subject isn't Black women necessarily, it's maroonage. it's fake gender splits and the 19th century white dudes and chicks that created them via crackpot ethnological race/sex theories.

Daron360 gets gritty and talks about the many layers of lies that we tell ourselves to omit the truth for our own growth.

In this episode, Daron talks about genuine relationships, and what it means to have meaningful and healthy friendships, not limited to a romantic partner but with loved ones and family members as well.

In the rebirth episode, Daron gets back on the MIC after a long hiatus and explains his shifting mentality on certain issues and comments on the importance of taking a step back sometimes to collect your mind, thoughts and reevaluate yourself and where you are in life. Where you are at mentally. Where you are on your journey of growth and sometimes it's okay to step a back.

One Night in Miami, four spearheads, and archetypes and performances and agreements and striking with the weapon you have.

On my grandfather, Leonard Stovall and unfurling our true selves and protecting our vulnerable personas and being afraid of being a bitch and asking yourself questions that leave you naked...
