I've spoken about my faith a little, but never went into detail until now. This episode will help those who feel stuck or questioning the benefit of believing in god. Take a listen, rather you are a person of faith or not, I guarantee you wil...

Hey, take a listen to this episode as my friend and I talk about music and the influence it has on people. One of the greatest things about music is that it transcends past race/gender/social class and any dividing factors. Also my friend Michael plays us a song he's been working on, take a listen and go find his music on soundcloud

Have ya'll had that one friend where y'all knew each other but never knew how close y'all life mirrored one another. Well listen to my friend I discuss life after college and the struggles/realizations we found. Life is meant to be lived, take those lessons you gain over time and use them to better your future.

We are all a product of where we grew up, but we also are influenced by our family and upbringing. Once we get older, we then choose from those influences applying what we feel is most beneficial. Today's podcast will explore the topic of Nature Vs Nurture, seeing how they influence us all. 

Yo be a true hustler is to work hard, utilizing what you have and making it into something great. We also have to remember that things will get tuff and stressful, but that we must continue and push on. Don't give up on something because of the time it will take, because the time will pass anyway. 

I struggled with the acceptance of being ok with being a nerd from the hood. Understanding that wanting to learn and be something other than what was put in front of me was ok. We have to change the mentality in the hood that people who seek out knowledge and books are lame, and educate the hood and spectators that black people, and people of color is more than athletes and entertainers.

WE must take the idea of having a Hood Mentality and apply in to everyday life. Creating and finding representation, in order to change our own image of a person from the hood, and the perception that the outside worlds has. 

I don't ask for the same for that was placed on black lives matter to be placed on the terroist that attacked the capital building, but i am asking for the same restraint and leisure given to my BLM people. I see a huge gap with the treatment of people of color vs white "protesters" let all lives truly matter and live as one fair complete country.

I want to re-introduce My podcast to you all, Coming with a stronger focus and vision. I want to focus on "Ghetto" Portion of my podcast, going deeper on topics that can uplift my community, but also enlighten those who watch from the outside. Come and explore the hoop politics, and learn about black male stigmas.   

This year has been hard and full of unpredictable moments, but through it all, we have rough it. It's time to close off 2020, taking all the lessons and eye-opening things it shown us and building off of that. Life is ongoing, so we must not let this keep us stuck. We will have relapse and PTSD, but we must lean on the lessons and wins that we did have.   

Happy Thanksgiving

The moral of this podcast is that we must learn from our paths that we walk on. Never get complacent with just doing enough. Set your goals, meet them, and set more, and keep doing that forever.

As a black man, I sometimes feel that I have to switch up my personality to be seen as professional or to be taken serious. Code Switching is either a way to get by or is i something that people of color have to use to flourish.

Our one voice need to become a choir and make noise. Your vote is important, but what will make it matter is when you spread the word and get those around you to vote as well. Do your homework as well, know who and what you are voting for. No I will ask the question, should there be a Democratic and Republican party, listen to this episode to hear what I have to say about this.

My senior year was a bitter sweet time for me, leaving an environment that i just learned to master and is now comfortable in. I had to learn that all my experiences in life will lead me to be in a state of discomfort and unfamiliar places if I chose to continue to strive for more. I was re-entering my old life as a new person with new goals and motives, but still was unsure on what to do next. I...

I was taking a much needed mental break, but it's now time to get back into it. It's ok to take a pause and give yourself a breather, allowing yourself to come back into things fresh and energized.

Today is the day to give thanks and show love to the great dads in this world. Take today to love on your father, and also to learn more from your father.

During this hard times, I call on my brothers and sisters to come together and all fight for one cause. Black Lives Matter, and we must continue to scream this, shout this, and protest this. May god continue to uplift us, and continue to show the world that Black Lives Matter, and that we are the core to this world.

It's hard to hear about these altercations, and see a black man lose his life. I speak about my feelings, and being black in America, I raise the question of, "Is it Dangerous to be Black in America"?   It's a poem at the end, please listen to it, the poem is by Memphis Poets, called black lives matter

Listening to today's podcast, you will get an understanding of mental health, and how therapy can help. I enlisted the help of my friends, who work in the mental health fields as therapist. Take a listen, and hopefully you will gain something from here.

Technology has consistently been on a steady incline, but because of corona, we can see a faster progression. Corona is making companies and people, call on technology more. Needing the advantages that technology brings to today's world of social distancing. Hope you enjoy the conversation.

One must be able to maintain consistent growth, and tools that they lean on to go through life or any situation. With consistency one must then challenge them to maintain that growth. With doing that one will then find discovery, discovering their limits, abilities and passions.

Is it acceptable to shoot or harm someone based on your fear or misperception of that person because of their race? I hope the answer is no. Unfortunately Doug Lewis and Ahmaud Aubrey were both judged in that manner, and in result lost their life. Fear and stereotyping should never determine, or be controlling factors in how we treat people, especially if your fear is self-inflicted. Understanding...

When constructing and understanding the legal system, I believe that one must have hope for better times. Hope that the racial, economical, gender, and many other disparities/differences play a role in the justice system. How we treat our less fortunate determines the complexities our justice, and what it means to our society. Simple justice is exactly what is sounds like, utilizing and focusing o...

I hope you hear this and take from it that you must see and believe in yourself, changing your mindset before you can change your action.
