An archive episode we recored earlier this year in February to celebrate Black History Month. We had a well rounded in-depth conversation on what it means to be unapologetically black. We explore the varying definitions people have when they hear the term (To Be Unapologetically Black) and we discussed how can you take pride in your blackness while still uplifting others. We also honored pivotal black figures in history and discussed what we can we do NOW to ensure that their contributions to history keep moving forward.…

We are kicking off our first three-part series centered on the theme of "Internal Wokeness." Last season, we discussed the concept of being internally woke and highlighted the importance of not only being intellectually aware(a.k.a. woke) to what is going on socially & politically but also being woke internally to what is going on within one's self mentally & emotionally.The concept for this first episode in this series is "starve the ego and feed the spirit" was inspired by the Native American parable Two Wolves.Through this discussion we encouraged our listeners to think critically about what they are actually giving their time and energy to, and to question if the facade they present to the outer world matches what is happening in their inner world. We also affirmed that establishing a healthy ego -- not one fueled with masked pain or uncontrollable anger is the first step to letting our guards down and exploring what is going on with ourselves internally. We thought the following articles would be beneficial to reference & discuss:: Therapists are saying African Americans Are Seeking Help for Mental Illness posted online by The Washington Post and Black Men & Our Health published online by The Huffington Post. These articles highlight that there is a need for our community to start checking in with our selves individually and collectively. Through this dialogue we hope to encourage others to create more spaces where people feel comfortable talking about trauma, pain, and the every day struggles & stress of life. We need healing just as much as we need justice and we're hoping this series will inspire all of you to mentally and emotionally check in with yourselves so that true transformation can begin to take place.
