In this episode my dad and I express our views on marriage and if it's necessary to be married. Marriage is a hot topic and on this episode we express the pro's of marriage and how it can help, heal and allow black people to progress in America! Marriage can be amazing, beautiful, progressive and provides stability for our babies! We are rooting for black marriages and don't have anyone tell you otherwise! BLACK MARRIAGE = BLACK POWER!  Peace, Love & Healing 

In this episode we discuss gun violence in the black community. As of recently NYC is at an all time high in regards to homicide. Black on Black crime has always been a part of black culture and in this episode J expresses the "Covid mindset" and T believes that due to historical traumas black people have become numb to each others pain. What are your thoughts?  How can we fix gun violence in our communities? In this episode we discuss many elements that contribute to why gun violence is still prevalent.  Peace, Love & Healing!   

In this episode we discuss our opinion on babies before marriages. J and T both agree that marriage should come before babies. Many of us have normalized babies before marriage within the black community as if it has done us any favorable justice in our communities. Young men are being told that "If you marry her and you two divorce she will take everything from you" so instead many of us are born into broken homes and young woman are still being bottle fed this ideology of being the "strong black woman" because there has been generations of this toxic and dysfunction neurocycles.  Black family unities will create black prosperity, black wealth, and black stability! Black babies benefit from two-parent households. Cycles have shown us that when a child is raised in a one parent home the child is emotionally instable, tend to have behavioral challenges, end up dropping out of school, more likely to be imprisoned than any other race, create numerous children with numerous people which continues the cycles of black struggle. We have to do better in order for our children to do better.  "When you know better, you should do better" - T I hope that you finish listening to this episode with gained wisdom...PEACE! 

Are you complacent in your relationship? Are you unhappy but feel stuck with no way out? Are you just "staying put" because its comfortable to stay than to go because of the fear of the unknown. Many of us have been groomed to "stay put" because we've been taught that pain and struggle equates to love. We've been told that "You can't keep a mate " when we decide to leave and start over because our happiness and mental health has become a priority, many of us have stayed and may currently be in a unhealthy, non-fulling and stagnate relationship. We may not be able to financially support ourselves, so we "stay put" and deal with abuse both mentally and sometimes physically. We are here to let you know that it is OKAY to start over and to prioritize yourself! Self-love is the best love! On this episode we share our experience and life lesson! Enjoy :) *Disclaimer: Anything that we speak on is NEVER to offend anyone and we are speaking from our experiences. Everything is not for everyone and this podcast may not be for you and that is okay, thank you for those who continue to support us and for those who don't move along :) PEACE!

As a young girl my dad did not allow his girls to watch television and now that I am an adult I am grateful for not having so much exposure to television. This is a continuation about how certain elements can lower your vibrations and believe it or not television is the biggest one. Many of us spend our in front of a program that is created to program you mentally, we discuss how the brain becomes docile, flabby and the intellectual level decline. I am a strong believer that when you know better you do better, let's do better. Let's cut off the programs and converse more especially with the youth, lets play board games (my favorite growing up was Scramble but now I enjoy playing Dominos), lets take walks in the park and enjoy nature or lets just sit silently to quiet our minds, these are all ways to raise your vibrations, along with listening to upbeat POSITIVE music! What you feed your brain you become!

Screen your potential life partner, bring them home to your family and allow them to screen your partner, specifically your parents, 3. Pay attention to the relationship they have with their family, watch how they speak about them and how they speak upon the other gender; the way a person speaks about other shows their character, 4.

We share our experiences and our up bringing from the dynamics of growing up black. J shares his wisdom to his daughter T and she shares her experience growing up. Let's teach our youth to question EVERYTHING, and if you do not have the answers please provide them with an outlet (books, books & more books, documentaries etc.) to research their own curiosities and never MUTE the youth! The mind is a powerful weapon and the only way for us to gain knowledge is to question, question and continue to question. It starts with you. Enjoy & share!

Stay tune! 

On this episode my dad and I discuss our experience growing up in the hood aka public housing. Many people hear the horror stories of growing up in the hood or create a perception about the people coming from unfortunate circumstances, but "Life is about how you handle the hand you are dealt".

On this episode we discuss bad advice given to us as individuals. Sometimes people give bad advice because they are not informed, have not experienced what you are going through or plain and simple hoping to see you as they are. Every experience in life allows you to grow but before you give advice to others you should ask yourself 1.Have you been in that person's situation, if so what was the outcome? 2. Is this sound advice? 3. Would you want someone to give you this advice?  We strongly believe that when you know better you do better!
