[00:00:33] Podcasting out of Mississippi. She's the host of the Afrocentric podcast. It's miss Morgan. How you doing Morgan?
[00:00:40] She says she's listening in Mississippi. Let's see what she's talking about
[00:00:44] Hello, my name is Morgan Gray
[00:00:46] I am from Mississippi obviously and I am the hostess and creator of the afrocentric podcast
[00:00:54] I have a degree in history. I graduated from Mississippi state and that is the way I choose to use my degrees through podcasting
[00:01:02] My podcast is about helping minority people specifically black people to be centered from Eurocentric thought and to view the world from an afrocentric
[00:01:11] perspective
[00:01:12] So let's just say that I am the local historian of all things black and black culture most definitely. Thank you for having me, Victor
[00:01:20] No problem. No problem. Hey, shout out to you your missip state grad
[00:01:24] I thought you're gonna say Jackson state, but i'm a family alum over here. You know what i'm saying? So
[00:01:29] Talk to me a little bit about um, what's your motivation behind starting the podcast?
[00:01:34] Oh, this is an interesting question. Um about two years ago. Um
[00:01:40] Well actually about three years ago
[00:01:42] I was running an organization in Mississippi state
[00:01:44] It's called idea one many stands for intelligent dignified elegant ambitious leaders, right?
[00:01:50] So um, I was the president or is it of this organization during the pandemic and we had to restructure
[00:01:56] The whole organization as well as how we went about
[00:02:00] Give information to our general body members. Um, and I came up with the idea along with my executive board
[00:02:06] To start a podcast. I thought it was the smartest way and the easiest way to get information out to large groups of people
[00:02:12] Um after my year of presidency was over. I realized that I really wanted to do my own podcast
[00:02:19] um
[00:02:20] After about a year of thinking I went through a really bad heartbreak and after I went through the
[00:02:26] Relationship, I realized I was dedicating way more time and energy into a relationship
[00:02:32] So I decided to start pouring back into myself and um, I did it through manifesting my podcast
[00:02:39] So that is kind of how we got started now the concept of the uh podcast itself
[00:02:45] I was high off some drugs with my homeboy
[00:02:51] We're sitting in the bed and he's like morgan
[00:02:54] um
[00:02:54] I was scrolling on tiktok and I heard of this word and I've never heard it before and I'm like, okay
[00:03:00] What's the word and he's like it's called afro centricity and I stood up
[00:03:05] I was like you've never heard that word before he was like no and I was able to like just give off
[00:03:10] Red a lot definitions examples
[00:03:13] The essence of the word which is to view the world through ancient commit egypt and to sense your life through that perspective instead of like a greek
[00:03:23] um
[00:03:24] perspective, right
[00:03:25] So I was like damn, that's a really great concept for a podcast
[00:03:29] And it was something that I had been practicing for a long time
[00:03:32] Which is actively pursuing and viewing the world through an afro centric lens
[00:03:36] So I just kind of started working on it from there and uh, it's almost been two years since I've been podcasting. So yeah, that's my story
[00:03:44] Wow, that is very interesting and also so how does one shift their thinking from
[00:03:50] The American way, you know what I'm saying because the black american way to a more afro centric way
[00:03:57] And I know it's not easy to start to do it overnight
[00:04:00] But how did you manage to shift your thinking?
[00:04:05] That's a very interesting. That's a great question actually
[00:04:08] um
[00:04:10] Actually, I didn't learn about my blackness until I really got into college, right?
[00:04:15] Um, when I got into college, that's when I really started learning about my history and my heritage
[00:04:20] Um as I was going through like really deep research deep thinking and thought
[00:04:25] I started realizing that your eccentric thought was really like the roots of like a lot of mental health crises
[00:04:33] Especially for young people especially for women specifically black women
[00:04:38] Um, so anything that I felt like was rooted in your eccentric thought it was kind of like, okay
[00:04:44] How would my ancestors see it?
[00:04:46] How would people within my lineage within my culture within the diaspora perceive it and view it and how does it differ?
[00:04:54] How does it align?
[00:04:56] What are the commonalities and then when you like purely see it through that perspective then I act upon that thought process
[00:05:05] Hmm
[00:05:06] That's very very interesting
[00:05:08] That's something you've never like heard of because it wants to most of people we all talk to we all
[00:05:13] We all think the same way some people we've learned to embrace our ancestors or
[00:05:18] But then one of my other episodes I talked to somebody else they were like
[00:05:22] You got to turn your ancestors loose and stuff fighting all your battles by yourself
[00:05:26] You know what as a historian I really hate that perspective to be quite frank with you
[00:05:31] I think with the uh, the rise of like technology as well as getting away from like old ways
[00:05:38] We tend to forget that the people that were here before us were no dummies
[00:05:43] We just have access to the internet
[00:05:45] They had an understanding of the world around us the culture and the way to go about doing things that we have
[00:05:51] Completely erased and obliterated, but that is not a reflection of their intelligence
[00:05:56] So I wouldn't I think it's very important for us to hold on to the knowledge of what happened in the past
[00:06:02] You don't necessarily have to operate from that, but it's good to have that type of information as well as that thought process
[00:06:08] Yes, yes, you definitely need to understand like what went through and stuff and you know
[00:06:14] But on the podcast journal we do have some hiccups and things we wish we do have done differently
[00:06:20] So what's something wish you would have done differently when you started your podcast?
[00:06:27] Uh
[00:06:28] To be quite frank with you. I don't I don't I don't really think there were too many things that
[00:06:33] I wish I could have done differently. Um
[00:06:37] I think it's because of the way I went about podcast and I have like very strategic stages of how I wanted to go about like producing episodes
[00:06:46] um
[00:06:47] How I wanted to set up and promote my podcast and I'm in an area again
[00:06:51] I'm in mississippi stuff like this is not normal. It's not normal to see people
[00:06:56] podcasting regardless of the race or the gender or the yeah or sexual orientation
[00:07:02] So like this is something completely new to not even my area, but my whole state
[00:07:07] so um just going about spreading that information and um putting it out laying the foundation last year
[00:07:15] That was like really my goal for my podcast was just laying the foundation
[00:07:19] Make sure everything was together and neat and tidy and then this year is about promotion and elevation
[00:07:25] So I don't I don't regret a thing and I don't want to regret anything. This is my journey and I make my own choices towards it
[00:07:33] That's real. That's definitely real. You don't want to regret anything
[00:07:36] We all say that regret no regrets on our journeys and stuff talk about being from mississippi because that's like a place that
[00:07:44] Like I said, I don't I don't live in a better place because I live in florida and I know you hear about florida news
[00:07:50] We also hear about mississippi and the news and how it's one of the most one of poor states and how it's just not very
[00:07:57] Very good when it comes to education like talk about how did you overcome all of that?
[00:08:03] For you right now most definitely
[00:08:06] Mississippi is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Mississippi is known for having very beautiful people
[00:08:12] Um, I love being from where I am this because we hold so much culture. Um
[00:08:19] I would say this during the 1960s 1950s
[00:08:23] WEB the boys will as Malcolm X
[00:08:26] They labeled this land as well as alabama and louisiana and they called it black africa
[00:08:32] And it was because this is a place where our ancestors came when we first landed. Um
[00:08:37] After the transatlantic slave trade this place has beautiful soil
[00:08:43] Very deep roots and I love it. They're more african americans in the state of mississippi than any other state in america
[00:08:49] There are more black home owners than in mississippi than there is in any other place in america
[00:08:55] But this is a very rural place. It is very backwoods and it is
[00:09:00] Education and intellect is not something that's praised. It's very looked down upon
[00:09:05] So when you are in a place like this where there are a large amount of black people and very low education
[00:09:11] There is a very large risk of ignorance
[00:09:14] And it's something that I come in contact with a lot and a lot. Um, I think it's important to stress that
[00:09:22] It is a lot of great. There are a lot of great people down here doing a lot of great work
[00:09:27] And um, I feel like there's more advocacy going on in mississippi than any other place in america
[00:09:34] I've been with the black new black panther party
[00:09:37] Advocacy certified with the southern property law center in mississippi votes
[00:09:41] We do like a lot of advocacy work making sure that people get a govote are extremely
[00:09:48] Educated and we're trying to pull those pieces together because we are living under a government
[00:09:54] That does not want to see us succeed and wants to see us so pressed
[00:09:57] So it is very different
[00:09:59] But like I said, I love the culture the land that my parents live on now is ancestral land
[00:10:05] There is no place where I would feel any closer
[00:10:08] And I just love the energy and the spirit is very hospitable down here
[00:10:13] It ain't too much foolishness going on down here
[00:10:16] But I love being around older people too missippies a retirement state
[00:10:20] So you see a lot of older black people and that's where I get my energy from
[00:10:24] honestly
[00:10:25] I would trade it, but I wouldn't trade it or if I did trade it. It would be for a lot of money
[00:10:31] Yeah
[00:10:33] I would trade wherever i'm living for a lot of money because
[00:10:38] I will I will I got a respect that you got prior from mississippi
[00:10:41] Even though mississippi can be so freaking racist with the government and stuff because I saw something that kind of pissed me off as a hbcu alum
[00:10:51] The fact that they were that they put put a bill in place that could have potentially shut down the three hbc us
[00:10:57] In jackson in um mississippi, which is jackson state outcour and mississippi valley state that that's heartbreaking because his third blue back colleges
[00:11:06] Those were for us like so why is y'all sitting up here in this government trying to shut them down?
[00:11:12] Most definitely and there's something that I have been um advocating about a lot. Um, so the bill was introduced by a man named john polk
[00:11:20] Down in jackson mississippi and it was supposed to be introduced as like a talking point
[00:11:25] But it easily turned into something that could have possibly happened
[00:11:28] So when the news first dropped, uh, a lot of the
[00:11:32] alumnis of these hbc us were the ones who started protesting and rallying first so, um
[00:11:38] The all corn alumnus
[00:11:40] They like doing research. They like, uh
[00:11:43] john polk
[00:11:45] He owns a sausage factory in mississippi called polk sausages
[00:11:50] So they're boycotting polk sausages and there's so many different small institutions doing so many big projects like all around like this
[00:11:58] Where they're hitting that they're um the government indirectly in so many different areas where it hurts. Um, I think that
[00:12:06] After a couple weeks, they decided that they were going to like get rid of some other smaller universities throughout the state of mississippi
[00:12:14] But there's so much misinformation about this topic that it's hard to get like a very clear understanding of what's really going on
[00:12:22] And that is on purpose. Um, but even outside of that, um, our governor
[00:12:29] Take reeds actually just signed a bill
[00:12:31] They have been giving out free school lunches to the kids during the summertime for years
[00:12:36] And now he's cutting it out
[00:12:38] So they're going to be thousands of hungry young children
[00:12:42] Regardless of their race that will not be able to eat food this summer. So that is a very huge issue down here
[00:12:49] That is definitely on my radar
[00:12:53] Man, well I said it's like
[00:12:55] And sometimes and like and like I can't really talk about
[00:12:59] Being racist governance because I live in florida, you know, if I had a
[00:13:02] We dealt with a governor that was more care more about running for president than actually being a governor
[00:13:08] And then when he was being governor, it was not highly effective because so
[00:13:14] I do feel your pain whenever you hear people talk bad about mississippi
[00:13:18] I live in florida
[00:13:19] So I get it even worse because i'm like every day somebody in florida did this and florida did that so
[00:13:26] I completely understand what you go through and stuff with um
[00:13:30] And just feel how proud for you state I definitely community for that
[00:13:36] Because it's hard because it's like somebody states the governors and stuff in the way they think it's like you're a billionaire like
[00:13:46] You have a heart here. Yeah
[00:13:48] um, I think that has speaks a lot to like lobbying how much money these politicians are receiving behind the scenes
[00:13:55] Um, I don't think I'm let people pay attention today
[00:13:57] I don't think enough people pay attention to the trading that these politicians do like recently. Um, charlemagne the god interviewed the mayor of
[00:14:06] New york city eric adams. Did you see the interview?
[00:14:09] Uh, I saw bits and pieces of it, but you can finish elaborating
[00:14:14] So, uh, charlemagne, um
[00:14:17] They did interview eric adams and he is a black mayor obviously not a governor and not a white man
[00:14:23] but still um, he holds a lot of power and
[00:14:28] interestingly enough he brought up all these different examples where he felt like
[00:14:33] As a whole trying to
[00:14:35] harm black mayors
[00:14:37] He brought up the mayor of illinois the mayor in the illinois chicago illinois
[00:14:43] He brought up the mayor over houston
[00:14:45] Texas dallas texas as well different black mayors in different cities and how their men
[00:14:50] Systemically attacked and then you think of the inverse at the same time the white governors take grieves
[00:14:57] Run the sandtags. Who is the one over in texas?
[00:15:01] Greg abbey in the wheel chair
[00:15:04] They are doing all these things
[00:15:06] Systemically not only to hurt immigrants immigration within this country, but there's um, they're purposely according to eric adams
[00:15:15] Putting immigrants in these places where there are black mayors and black
[00:15:21] So you have to understand that
[00:15:23] Negroes is playing checkers and these folks is playing chess. They've been doing this for a long time and um
[00:15:29] under like the rulership of people like mitzvah connell
[00:15:33] That have created this playbook years and years since like the 60s and 70s
[00:15:39] They have a great understanding of what is needed to be done and how to go about doing it
[00:15:44] And I think some people are just not realizing that this is a strategic game and they're playing games in people's lives
[00:15:51] Yes, they're definitely playing on people's lives and people got to wake up because you gotta realize that
[00:15:56] But on the contrary ladies and gentlemen, this is look at talking that looks bored up
[00:16:01] ladies and gentlemen
[00:16:04] So already um shifting to your last episode talk to me about what is the matter?
[00:16:10] Talk to the previous guests. Um, yes jada who talked about it. He grew Israelite
[00:16:15] Yeah, uh, so
[00:16:18] My last episode is entitled a message for god's chosen people featuring jada jones
[00:16:25] Um, ironically enough jada is the sister of my best friend
[00:16:28] We're all in the same age group and we all went to missy v state her older sister is also a history major
[00:16:34] So again, it's nice to be surrounded by educated black women. Um, I told her about a year ago
[00:16:41] I said i'm gonna come back and i'm gonna interview you she said okay
[00:16:44] And um, I drove to Byron, which is outside of jackson. It's about like 15 20 minutes outside of jackson
[00:16:50] And we sat on the porch and just did an exploratory episode
[00:16:55] Where we kind of broke down the history of the Hebrew Israelites
[00:16:59] We broke down the commandments. We did a lot of bible talk in a non-biased religious manner
[00:17:06] We talked about esoteric knowledge within the bible
[00:17:09] We talked about uh practices within the Hebrew Israelite culture as well as the belief system
[00:17:15] And then we also flipped the episode on his head and talked about the Ascanazi Jews
[00:17:20] We talked about the war over in Palestine with Hamas as well as some of the rumors and practices of the Ascanazi Jews over in israel
[00:17:30] Wow
[00:17:32] That's that's a lot to unpack and you know and shout out to all my history majors that episode is for you
[00:17:38] You know i'm saying you gotta go dive right into that episode
[00:17:42] And you know
[00:17:44] So please go support ladies and gentlemen, please definitely go support
[00:17:49] Um, what's some advice do you give to anybody that's even considering moving to mississippi because
[00:17:55] I had to talk with my mother a couple of months ago. She was thinking about um
[00:17:59] Thinking about going moving to mississippi. Um, because she said the land is like really cheap out there
[00:18:04] What's some advice you give to anybody?
[00:18:06] You consider moving to mississippi
[00:18:08] Get a gun
[00:18:11] I think that's fair for her but
[00:18:15] Good um, what is some advice? I don't think that there's uh too much advice
[00:18:21] It's not like you're running into racism and like mississippi like I always say is a very it's a misnomer
[00:18:28] So there's not a lot of blatant racism here. I do you um, I just spoke to a group of white people
[00:18:33] They just walked by they spoke they were really sweet. They seemed like some mannerable people
[00:18:37] Um, the racism is always going to be um done behind your back and under and behind closed doors
[00:18:44] um
[00:18:45] Find you some people that resemble you don't get down here and think that you're gonna be uh
[00:18:51] Integrated family
[00:18:52] Don't get down here if you're a white person and think you're gonna be able to say an n word without somebody whooping your ass
[00:18:58] They don't play that in mississippi. They might do that up north in new york
[00:19:03] Over in california, but down here. I don't expect it. Um
[00:19:08] I would want you to understand that like a lot of these older black people in mississippi. They um
[00:19:15] They might make you feel comfortable but behind closed doors. They're telling me that they wish they never integrated the schools
[00:19:21] They telling us that they hated they hated um the fact that the integration process went the way that it did
[00:19:27] So everything is not the way that
[00:19:30] You think it's not the way that they perceived it on the movies the civil rights movement ended in the 1970s
[00:19:36] We're actually getting ready to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the freedom riders down here in jackson mississippi
[00:19:42] so that's like a really huge event but um
[00:19:47] The racism is covert it'll never be in your face. Don't be scared. Just be careful. That's great advice
[00:19:55] Hmm. Yeah, that that's some really good advice. I feel like that's good advice to move anywhere
[00:20:00] Don't be scared just move because I feel like racism is definitely covert, you know, I'm saying
[00:20:05] In some places it is obvious. They will show their their true hand, you know, I'm saying but
[00:20:11] It's crazy now stand going back to something you said about the um, all the black people
[00:20:17] Why do you feel like they didn't want to um integrate the schools? Um
[00:20:22] so
[00:20:23] I think with the history books told us was that um
[00:20:27] integration was for equality but during the civil rights movement, they were fighting for equal education
[00:20:34] They didn't want to be integrated in mission that school system. They just wanted the same quality of education
[00:20:40] so before um integration happened and during this period of segregation
[00:20:45] There were black on schools all throughout the south and those schools
[00:20:51] They really cared about their students. You had black teachers who were able to communicate to the students understood the dialect
[00:20:58] Understood the community that they came from and understood the dangers or the different situations that those black children may have been put on
[00:21:06] I actually was talking to my boss, um yesterday. She's 70 years old and that's a blessing. She was talking about how
[00:21:13] Number one she went to a black on school down here in Oklahoma, Mississippi
[00:21:18] And how during the integration process
[00:21:21] Her dad would take all the black students to different parts of Mississippi to make sure that they were tested
[00:21:27] To make sure that they weren't behind the other white students
[00:21:30] She told me that throughout the summer they were continuously testing to make sure that they were
[00:21:35] Intelligent to make sure that not only they were at the same level but surpassed them when they integrated those school systems
[00:21:42] They did a lot to make those black students very uncomfortable
[00:21:45] And a great example was that she told me that when they integrated and they were putting those schools with those white people
[00:21:53] They were not allowed to correct white students
[00:21:56] So if you're sitting in a classroom with 20 people and salemé
[00:22:00] And the teacher asked her salemé was two plus two and she'd say 16
[00:22:04] As a black student, you're not allowed to come behind her and say no two plus two is four
[00:22:09] You would get in trouble for that. You would get kicked out of the school for that
[00:22:12] So not only does that do something to the self-esteem to the ego of the black child
[00:22:17] But it also puts their education at risk. So it's kind of like thinking about stuff like that
[00:22:23] It hurt them in a lot of ways more so than it did help them and now we're seeing the results from the 1970s 80s 90s
[00:22:31] 2010s to the
[00:22:33] 2020s where these niggas is stupid
[00:22:37] In real life in real life. They don't believe that education is important
[00:22:42] They don't understand not on 40 percent of americans are functionally illiterate
[00:22:47] And I want people to keep shit like that in mind because most people cannot read
[00:22:52] And if you can't read then I know you cannot analyze you cannot comprehend you cannot communicate your emotions
[00:22:58] So like and if you can it's not at the best level you would want it to be and it does not fit everybody
[00:23:04] But if it applied if it don't apply let it fly
[00:23:07] But I think it's important to understand that it has had a crazy as effect on south
[00:23:13] And now that
[00:23:15] Like directly correlates to the uh prison school the prison pipeline
[00:23:20] yeah
[00:23:22] Yep, that school the prison pipeline and now we're also seeing the effects of
[00:23:27] Historically black colleges in the south always not being underfunded because it's like
[00:23:33] You find out that oh you these um that the government gives the state's money
[00:23:39] To fund the black schools, but guess what they're not funding because they want them dumb and stupid
[00:23:43] And which is which is some bullshit, you know
[00:23:46] You know what I actually um did an interview a couple weeks ago with the older woman down in port Gibson
[00:23:53] Her name is nicole robinson. She's like 30 34 really phenomenal woman
[00:23:58] She just got sworn in in january and she told me something that's so vital to understanding
[00:24:04] When it comes to mississippi mississippi is considered a pilot state a pilot state means that they get
[00:24:10] A shit ton of funding the money is here
[00:24:13] The question is not why they're not giving it to the schools. The question is where is the money?
[00:24:20] Where is it truly going?
[00:24:22] So like they have the money for it
[00:24:24] But they're doing back backwood shit with their money now a great example outside of mississippi can be seen like in arkansas
[00:24:32] where uh their governor was there beach named seru
[00:24:36] she a big back beach and um
[00:24:40] broke that ass
[00:24:43] and
[00:24:44] Her name is sandra something she looked a hot mess, but she they have discrepancies in their paperwork, right?
[00:24:51] um
[00:24:52] She spent according to their paperwork 20 000 on a podium
[00:24:56] A podium to stand in front of to speak to the people
[00:24:59] Do folks know that pieces this lab would then cost 20 000 so what happened to that money now another example can be seen
[00:25:07] in mississippi
[00:25:09] southern miss is a university in helisburg mississippi and um brett farb was and steeley is under fire
[00:25:17] Because they took ten of money. There's a governmental system money and um, he partnered with uh the governor at their time
[00:25:26] and um another welfare worker and they took
[00:25:30] Like 45 000 from the ten of community and built a volleyball stadium for the university
[00:25:38] um the only one that went to jail was the lady that worked in the
[00:25:42] ten of community they helped her
[00:25:44] They helped him get their money
[00:25:46] But where where what happened to the money, you know, we know that he got how did that happen?
[00:25:52] Who allowed that to happen and who is going to be responsible other than that one woman?
[00:25:56] So like if there is a lot of discrepancies on the money
[00:26:00] And this always where my eyes go to because I want to know what the money had to
[00:26:04] Yeah, we all want to know where the money at because it's like that's all this money is meant to help the black community
[00:26:11] but we have
[00:26:13] Red racist people in office who ain't trying to do that. They they try to you know
[00:26:19] They're trying to just keep the money for themselves and do the backwoods shit with it
[00:26:22] And also it also goes back to voting and how we got to get our people out to vote
[00:26:28] But guess what the people in charge of the voting they they tend to fuck up them damn machines
[00:26:33] You know i'm saying put up for reasons, you know to keep the people from voting
[00:26:37] That actually happened down here during our last government
[00:26:40] Govermentorial election. I do want to say that before I talk about this is that that money is not just for black people
[00:26:47] There are a lot of poor white staff here that are going through the same exact thing that we are
[00:26:51] Same exact educational level and there are more white women on
[00:26:57] financial aid
[00:27:01] She was saying they're on financial aid government assistance and stuff
[00:27:06] Ladies and gentlemen, this is look at her little try to get her right back on. Um
[00:27:11] There she is wait a second there. She is all right. You were saying there are a lot of poor white women on government assistance as well
[00:27:18] Yes, so like there are more white women using government assistance than any other
[00:27:24] group of people in america
[00:27:26] So that money doesn't just belong to african americans
[00:27:28] It belongs to the people and the people deserve what they're supposed to have
[00:27:32] Um now with that being said you were talking about elections and how the machines are working during our governatorial election
[00:27:41] last year
[00:27:43] um, we had a runoff between
[00:27:48] Tate Reeves and a cousin of ilvis pristley. He was running as the democratic
[00:27:54] Uh
[00:27:56] opponent during it and the vote was so close and more black people came out to vote than anywhere else
[00:28:03] now
[00:28:04] A small town outside of jackson mississippi
[00:28:07] They extended their poll hours because they had an issue with the machines
[00:28:12] So everybody throughout the entire state was done voting
[00:28:16] It's seven o'clock
[00:28:17] But because of this referencing with the machines personally
[00:28:21] I feel like something happened where it was read because the votes were so close the votes were so close, but um
[00:28:28] It's shit going on and because people are so focused on social media
[00:28:33] People are focused on the bullshit that they don't see what's happening right in front of their eyes in their local neighborhoods
[00:28:40] Even when we think about the news we think about national news
[00:28:44] We think about global news. How many people do you know are well versed and well educated on what's going on locally?
[00:28:50] Or regionally or even statewide no one
[00:28:54] I know one person he has a podcast and i'm saying that's my brother jug
[00:28:58] He has the book of clarity podcast. He's the only person I can say I know that he's on top of the state and the local government
[00:29:04] That's the one person. I know I started him nobody paying attention to that mess
[00:29:09] When they you know, too
[00:29:13] That's what's up, you know, I'm saying hey, I'm getting on the game myself
[00:29:16] You know, I'm saying that's why I look to him if I need advice
[00:29:18] So if I need to know something about what's going on news, so
[00:29:22] but
[00:29:22] But can you speak to why these people still vote for the politicians who aren't helping, you know
[00:29:31] I can't answer that for you
[00:29:34] I don't know. I don't know. Um
[00:29:37] It's a lot of shit going on when media is really fucking people. Look, you got some people saying don't go vote
[00:29:43] Don't go vote
[00:29:44] Then you have a large group of people, especially black men who are turning over to the republican party
[00:29:51] And that is a strategy of the republican party to garner as much black male attention and support
[00:29:57] um
[00:29:59] I don't know. Um, then you got white women who oftentimes vote outside of their own like general good
[00:30:05] Especially when it comes to issues like abortion and health care
[00:30:09] They will do stuff despite other cultures and to support their whiteness and validate that but
[00:30:15] You know
[00:30:16] Been winning overture row versus way white bitches was crying in the streets
[00:30:20] So like it's just why do people vote outside of their own best interests?
[00:30:25] Because one thing I know is i'm worried about me everything else comes second before it's me
[00:30:30] mm-hmm
[00:30:32] And that's a fact and that's the fact ladies and gentlemen
[00:30:35] I remember this is look at talk ladies and gentlemen get it
[00:30:37] But remember y'all go out and vote vote for whoever you think the best person is
[00:30:42] um talking about the beauty in black because there's just a lot of beauty in the black
[00:30:48] Black culture that other cultures seem they want to put themselves and that's why they do dumb shit to try to fuck us up
[00:30:54] You know what's crazy? Did you did you see custom?
[00:30:58] I the other day talking about black people ain't had no culture
[00:31:01] Man, I saw that I saw that bro. I'm like, bro. You you you them got whitewash, you know what I'm saying
[00:31:10] You see what they might a bitch nigga do
[00:31:13] like
[00:31:14] That just don't make sense to me
[00:31:16] Our culture is beautiful
[00:31:18] That is what makes us beautiful because we have a culture that is so rich
[00:31:23] And so deep that people can't even comprehend the vastness of it
[00:31:27] Like how you gonna tell black people they don't have no culture go to your Beyonce that Beyonce is the culture
[00:31:33] She's similar to the economy. So if we don't have no culture, what group does Beyonce belong to?
[00:31:38] Like you have to think about things like that
[00:31:41] Now when it comes to black beauty
[00:31:44] Black black beauty is also a misnomer and of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder
[00:31:50] But our beauty standards are so different and because of white supremacy and girl centric thought in
[00:31:57] perspective it changes throughout the time periods. So
[00:32:02] During enslavement, you know, you were considered beautiful beautiful to be life-skinned and then you know, we think looking at the current
[00:32:11] Time period I'm high yellow and it ain't no good thing. It's not no good thing right now to be life-skinned
[00:32:18] in the media
[00:32:19] think about uh hair textures where um straight hair was considered beautiful
[00:32:25] And then you look during the night
[00:32:28] 2015 where the natural hair movement exploded and people learned how to appreciate black hair to the point now where
[00:32:36] Everybody wants to have black hair. You see people over in korea
[00:32:40] The asians they get locks. They got little
[00:32:44] Man, I saw that on tiktok. I'm like, are you serious these motherfuckers over here getting braids?
[00:32:49] They get locks. They got the air pros looking like us. I'm like, we already gave you koreans fried chicken
[00:32:55] What more do y'all want from us man?
[00:32:57] Shit, they've been fried chicken too
[00:33:00] They and you know what's crazy is the fact that the mongolians they come from africa. They migrated over there
[00:33:06] They have deep roots and if you check the test they're being made it will
[00:33:10] Strongly show african heritage
[00:33:12] But they don't like that and it's because they too have been affected by your
[00:33:16] eccentric standards and beauty but they also have their own
[00:33:20] Asian what is the asianic standards of beauty as well?
[00:33:24] so
[00:33:25] You have to think about all those different contextual things you got white women walking around with bots braids
[00:33:31] And you got white men going to the barbershop exo for travis kilsit fay
[00:33:35] I don't I don't know but it tells me that the beauty it inspires
[00:33:40] It inspires people and people can say no it don't but the proof is in the pudding
[00:33:45] You can clearly see it. So, um, I think that it is
[00:33:49] A misnomer they say they don't like it, but they're in they right they really love it
[00:33:54] They wish they could be us and they will never come out and say it at their own mouths, but the ones who know know
[00:34:02] We know shit. We already know we see it every day. We see it every day on social media
[00:34:06] We see every day with content. We see it every day and every day lives like
[00:34:12] See
[00:34:14] Them niggas don't know they don't know that I was actually uh at my grandma's house
[00:34:19] Earlier this week and my grandma. Oh my grandma is dark skin
[00:34:23] Like chocolate and if you saw me compared to my grandma
[00:34:27] You wouldn't be shocked and I'm also a mono racial black woman. So I come from four black grandparents
[00:34:33] I'm just high yellow
[00:34:34] Um, and she telling me you need to get you some cream to lighten up your skin
[00:34:39] So you can be pretty like them white women and my grandma's 90
[00:34:43] I can't see the you know, I'm not you can't teach no old dog no new treats
[00:34:47] I just let her have it
[00:34:48] But that lets me know that in top blackness is deeply rooted within her to the point where she can't even see the beauty in her
[00:34:54] Own skin tone. I'm like you want me to get lighter baby?
[00:34:57] I wish my skin was as dark as yours. Your skin is so pretty
[00:35:00] But she just don't see it like that and this the case for a lot of people
[00:35:04] People are always stuck on what they hear and not what they see and I understand that the actions of a man is what
[00:35:10] True what proves his character?
[00:35:12] Understand that they doing what we doing they talking the way we talk they dressing the way that we dress
[00:35:18] They starting to season they schooled the way we season our food. So like
[00:35:23] I see the actions, but that mouthpiece is not it's not equal in whatsoever
[00:35:29] So, you know, you have to pay attention. I think this would
[00:35:34] Cat Williams was talking about on his Shannon sharp episode
[00:35:37] The liar knows what lie he told and it's because they know the truth
[00:35:42] They know what we don't know and they holding on truly and dearly in order to hold on to their secrets
[00:35:49] So that we won't get away from it, but news is starting to pick figure it out for sure
[00:35:53] Yes, we are we are definitely starting to figure it out. By the way, you are fucking beautiful. Don't you dare get no
[00:36:00] Cream
[00:36:01] I'm tired of you black women getting this damn cream to lighten yourselves up. You are fucking beautiful
[00:36:07] Don't let listen. I respect grandma
[00:36:10] Let grandma have it and you let that conversation stay at grandma house
[00:36:16] But we don't keep that conversation at grandma house and not apply it to real life. Feel me
[00:36:20] Thank you. I appreciate that and it was gonna stay on zuba street in a way. It was gonna stay on the way side
[00:36:26] Listen, I just had to give you that reassurance because you know what?
[00:36:29] Sometimes y'all I realized that y'all need to hear that, you know, I'm saying, you know, I'm saying coming from a brother
[00:36:34] You know, I'm saying that look I'm about tired of y'all doing that dumb shit. You know, I'm saying and you're making yourself ugly
[00:36:40] You know, yeah, and you know what? I think that's the conversation that the africans need to have
[00:36:46] I don't really see too many african american people like really bleaching a skin for real
[00:36:52] Um, I used to date I've dated several african men from different parts of africa
[00:36:57] I dated two nigerians and one from niger
[00:37:00] Now I had a long time boyfriend from nigeria and I remember this day
[00:37:04] I went inside of his closet and I seen this little orange bottle
[00:37:09] And it had a little white woman plastered on the outside of it
[00:37:12] And I looked at the name of it and it's called carol white carol white
[00:37:18] And I say what is this and I look at the ingredient list and it's bleaching cream
[00:37:23] And he has seven bottles of it just in the back of his closet. So number one, it ain't just
[00:37:30] Seven bottles of it and I told him if he was gonna be with me yet to get rid of that
[00:37:34] Shit, I said you will finish the bottle you got now, but it ain't nothing wrong with your skin
[00:37:38] But that is again anti-blackness that is deeply rooted within different cultures. I don't see
[00:37:45] I like it just it looks bad even to the point where like nigerian women and it's not just them
[00:37:50] It's the indian women too over not the the red that indians not the indians
[00:37:56] here but they um
[00:37:58] They'll do that makeup
[00:38:00] fire shades lighter the neck black
[00:38:03] Facecare male and it's because they hate their skin color or they culture don't like it
[00:38:08] So they're really you walk around here look like a clown like a fucking ghost in the city and stand in your truth
[00:38:15] You know what I wish people just stand there true because that's when they're the prettiest
[00:38:18] You know I'm saying and also to my people who get in relationships are trying to attract somebody while you looking like
[00:38:24] Lighter than that. You're probably getting cheated on while somebody else
[00:38:28] With somebody else who ain't probably dark as you
[00:38:33] They go for fat bitches too or skinny bitches you hollering and you going in the gym trying to lose all that weight
[00:38:39] Yo nigga cheating on you with a fat bitch. They know how to cook a mean burger some good thing
[00:38:45] sandwiches and such
[00:38:47] Hell yeah, it's always people don't realize that what you ain't gonna do someone else will do
[00:38:55] They're true people just don't have the patience to see the weight
[00:38:59] Yeah, yeah speaking of sitting and waiting. Um
[00:39:03] Would that be something we got to do to save these black relationships?
[00:39:05] Because I know you've been seeing in all time how people break up over the smallest things or people that's been in
[00:39:12] Relationships with their longtime partner for a long time all of a sudden they break up and they go get somebody else of another race like
[00:39:20] How do we save our black relationships?
[00:39:23] Um, I think it's gonna have to get worse before it gets better
[00:39:28] Really?
[00:39:29] playing yeah most definitely. So um, you've heard of the 4b movement that's been going on in korea correct?
[00:39:35] Mm-hmm
[00:39:36] Okay, let me break it down for your listeners who might not know
[00:39:40] So, um over in korea they started a movement about five years ago called the 4b movement
[00:39:46] Now the letters in korean start with a b but the four rules is
[00:39:51] Number one to not have sex with a uh with a man a heterosexual man number two to not marry a heterosexual man
[00:39:59] Number three not to have any sexual intercourse
[00:40:02] I said that I read it but the fourth one is not to have any children or reproduce whatsoever
[00:40:07] Now they've created the 4b movement because of the
[00:40:12] radicalizing intentional hate towards women in korea to the point where
[00:40:17] They suck them beaches in their mouth and knocking them over over their feet
[00:40:21] So it's gotten to the point now when korea their uh birth rate has dropped to the point where there are no
[00:40:27] kindergarteners that will be starting school
[00:40:31] During the next school year. Wow
[00:40:34] most definitely and um
[00:40:38] Black women
[00:40:39] American women because this shit is not just within our race
[00:40:44] I think we just the loudest about it because our community is probably the most hurt in america because of years and years of enslavement
[00:40:53] um, but uh people are starting to pick up on it and people are starting to radicalize and strategize
[00:41:01] On how they're going to go about creating their own 4b movement in america
[00:41:07] Um, then you start seeing what the men are doing now called the drizzle drizzle movement
[00:41:12] Have you been seeing that on social media too? The drizzle drizzle talking about the soft guy air and stuff
[00:41:18] Yeah, we can now listen me and the fellas we broke that down on the men's all around and listen if y'all go back
[00:41:24] Y'all this episode none of the men that we'd I would had on on the panel including myself
[00:41:29] We ain't with that shit but continue
[00:41:32] Well, I just
[00:41:33] I don't know, you know, there's so many things to stand up for
[00:41:37] Within this society so many things to care about
[00:41:40] Drizzle drizzle a soft life is not really on
[00:41:44] My top priority and I wouldn't want it to be on the priority of someone that I would choose today
[00:41:50] Just because i'm real life out here
[00:41:52] Doing advocacy work and fighting for the livelihoods of my community
[00:41:57] So I think that all of the things that you could be up in arms about a bitch's cash
[00:42:03] If you meant to get your hair cut and give me you compliments every day
[00:42:08] It shouldn't be top priority. And that's just my opinion. There's bigger fish to fry
[00:42:13] um
[00:42:15] I just
[00:42:16] You know, I mean, I guess i'm glad that the niggas is banding together
[00:42:19] I guess i'm glad that they have some type of camaraderie
[00:42:22] Maybe this will stop them from killing each other with the blikis and the ak's and such
[00:42:27] But um, nonetheless, I just kind of
[00:42:31] I think it's gonna have to get worse before it gets better. Um, I think um
[00:42:35] What I know for effect is that when there's a lot of violence in a movement before it dies out
[00:42:41] There's always a large fizzle before it dies out that goes for this relationship
[00:42:45] She that goes for white supremacy. We are towards the ending point of oppression and white supremacy
[00:42:53] So that's why you're starting to see racism have this very large spike and it's in um evolving
[00:42:59] And it's because it's dying out. So the last one's got to get their shit off their chest
[00:43:04] Before something else happens and I feel like that also fits this scenario as well
[00:43:10] But there's in my opinion
[00:43:12] A large amount of anti feminine hate and not just hate against women
[00:43:17] But hate against all things feminine presenting as there could be for dolls gay men
[00:43:24] clothes
[00:43:25] Whigs anything that is inherently female
[00:43:29] It has a negative stigma attached to it from a lot of men, especially like red pill community type time
[00:43:36] I just feel like it's
[00:43:38] It's stupid and it's it's a waste of time. I think that there are people realize on the internet
[00:43:44] From the cia to create those arguments to keep our community divided on purpose
[00:43:51] I know for a fact that there are people on social media who pretend to be black
[00:43:57] There are people on social media who are within the algorithms posting
[00:44:04] This heartening rule comments on purpose and I feel like that's a job role somewhere somebody's doing this shit on purpose
[00:44:13] You know what I have to believe you because you know what
[00:44:17] I definitely believe it because back in the days they
[00:44:20] They they the cia essentially put people in place to destroy the black panther movement
[00:44:25] And also believe that they put informants in place to sell drugs to the black community within the black community
[00:44:31] So it ain't nothing to believe that they wouldn't do something like that to keep us just bonded because
[00:44:37] Uh, they don't really they realize something when we're bonded when everybody's bonded on the same page
[00:44:43] We can fuck some shit up. That's why they chock on so hard to get rid of tiktok
[00:44:47] Yeah, I want you to know right now during the sixties
[00:44:51] When them jokers was marching them niggas marched from minfest, tennessee to jackson, mississippi
[00:44:58] You understand me? That's unity
[00:45:01] I'm not even gonna get up and walk down the street by myself
[00:45:04] But to march with a group of niggas with guns pointed at their heads one of them got shot
[00:45:09] Walking from minfest to jackson. That is a three hour drive
[00:45:14] In a vehicle on two feet. I don't know
[00:45:17] I like
[00:45:18] It's a whole different type of things alabama shut down a whole bus system during they bus boycotts
[00:45:24] Yeah, the mcgarros bus boycott. Yep. Do you understand they had the children's crusade in alabama
[00:45:31] They took all the black students from all the high schools all the way down to the elementary and preschools
[00:45:37] Because it was too many black adults to go and march
[00:45:41] They put them little niggas out there to go and march and them little niggas went to jail
[00:45:46] But they were unified. They had their mindset
[00:45:49] They had an understanding of what needed to be done and the people above them had a plan and some money to give
[00:45:55] That they helped get niggas out of jail
[00:45:57] They keeping us divided because if we were on one accord, there's no telling how we would fuck this system up
[00:46:03] Mm-hmm
[00:46:04] There's no way because also it also goes back to show the real reasons why they bombed some of their own land
[00:46:10] They bombed some of their own land because which were the black communities that were very prominent
[00:46:15] That's why they had to burn them down because guess what we were getting way too powerful, which we didn't need it y'all
[00:46:22] black wall street lake linear in georgia and
[00:46:27] What is it the central park?
[00:46:30] times is in new york is that uh
[00:46:34] Is central park
[00:46:35] all black owned communities
[00:46:38] And that was all rosewood, Florida
[00:46:42] well
[00:46:43] Yeah
[00:46:44] They did all this shit on purpose
[00:46:46] They wanted to get because they they know something we don't know
[00:46:49] They do and they doing all this shit on purpose and now it's not being done the same way
[00:46:54] Our minds have not called up to the evolution of how they've gone about doing it
[00:46:58] They are taking this on a cellular level with the food we eat
[00:47:02] The communities we live in even the paint that they paint our arm section eight houses in
[00:47:08] The perm that we used to put in our heads. They breaking us down on a cellular level
[00:47:14] Mm-hmm. Yep. That's why and that's why that's why y'all us people we gotta look at who supplied while black owned beauty products
[00:47:21] We gotta look at those look at look at them suppliers
[00:47:23] You know i'm saying making sure it's really black owned not bought up by some corporation because
[00:47:28] What these corporations like to do is they see the small black owned business by amount and then fuck up the product
[00:47:34] Most definitely we saw that with um
[00:47:37] What's that? It was the vagina
[00:47:39] On
[00:47:40] Watch the vaginal watch that was black on honey pot
[00:47:45] It had it was black on
[00:47:48] She the lady said her ancestors came in a dream and told her help these bitches watch their kuchi with some
[00:47:55] Apocytical menopause and she said yeah, let me get on that then like two years later
[00:48:01] She sold the honey pot line the brand all the ingredients changed they switched up not bitches getting yeast that
[00:48:08] Bitch got hepatitis being shit. They're gonna with honey pot the same thing goes for uh
[00:48:15] Cantu can too was bought out by white owned companies will they put all type of acid proper alcohol in their shit
[00:48:23] Not niggas hell falling out and when a lot of black because let me don't know about hair products
[00:48:28] When they finally decided to go natural they're gonna get the cheapest thing on the shelves and that's can too
[00:48:33] They don't know that your brain is up under your scalp. You can't just put in and everything on top of your scalp
[00:48:40] That's a fact that's a fact
[00:48:42] So going back to the state is there anything we could do is just
[00:48:46] Listen to say black relationships
[00:48:48] If you got somebody that you might want to hold on to them
[00:48:51] Don't give into the bullshit hold on to them
[00:48:54] I would say this and I feel like it's gonna come out twice
[00:48:57] Like very one sided but I will say this
[00:49:00] I would love for black men to hold black men more accountable than what they're already doing
[00:49:06] um
[00:49:06] And I do have to say this because
[00:49:09] I understand it's some wicked bitches out here. I understand bitches getting how they live
[00:49:14] But we live in a patriarchal society. So that means that men
[00:49:18] Regardless of the race have the power especially in america and
[00:49:23] Too many times i've seen men
[00:49:25] Number one not even notice when they homeboys is going through shit
[00:49:29] It's a you know
[00:49:30] Speculation that a lot of black men don't have real friendships a lot of black men just kind of congregate together
[00:49:36] And they do parallel play they don't talk to one another
[00:49:39] They're just doing the same shit beside one another but they're not like
[00:49:43] Deeply engaging in like conversation. It stimulates their mind
[00:49:47] They just want to argue another thing too these niggas don't understand communication because all they want to do is debate
[00:49:53] And there's an irritant ending of itself like but it's conversation for another day
[00:49:58] I need black men to start calling niggas out the first time
[00:50:03] And then on top of that when they start seeing that the behavior and the patterns don't change
[00:50:08] They need to cut them off
[00:50:11] And beat them up so they'll learn not to do that shit no more
[00:50:14] There used to be a time where issues were handled out within our community and people would hold each other
[00:50:20] Accountable and up to standards and people had their own individual standards, but we are no longer in that time period
[00:50:27] And you know the solidarity
[00:50:30] Um with black men. I feel like it's honorable. I'm glad that black men do have
[00:50:36] Something to fall back on when shit goes live, but again, I need niggas to really start
[00:50:42] listening to women
[00:50:44] I need them to really learn how to effectively communicate to the point where they value emotional intelligence and not just logic
[00:50:54] Because um, I think we're getting to this point within like male spaces where they feel like
[00:51:01] Emotional intelligence has no value whatsoever
[00:51:05] And they would only prefer logic to the point where they would debate you down into the ground
[00:51:10] So like I just need I guess I just need like me and be more open minded
[00:51:15] You know what?
[00:51:16] I I understand that I completely understand that because that's some brother that I talk to there that can't be closed minded
[00:51:22] But now I will say this I need some sisters to realize when they got something good, you know
[00:51:27] I'm saying and I drive them away with
[00:51:30] stressing them out over bullshit that they can't control. You know I'm saying I need these bitches just to be realistic
[00:51:36] Hello
[00:51:38] Yes, they do I definitely feel you on that because sometimes they have the most unrealistic expectations and I'm like
[00:51:46] Can you do that for yourself?
[00:51:48] some women can not everybody um, but
[00:51:52] You know how it is the level of intelligence compared to a man versus a woman
[00:51:57] Women mature so much faster than men because they're put in positions where they have to
[00:52:02] um
[00:52:03] Some bitches just be jaded. I don't know as much as I would love to advocate for women
[00:52:10] I'm not going to
[00:52:11] Not in these moments because I know bitches be doing some foul ass shit
[00:52:15] I just know that the perpetrator of violence and misogyny
[00:52:19] In hatred towards black women or indeed black me and it also goes for trans women as well
[00:52:28] That's understood as I definitely get that you know saying there's no hate over here
[00:52:32] But you know I'm saying it's like I thought everybody needed to hold each other accountable
[00:52:36] If you're fucking up with everybody needs to be held accountable in this times when I would say this
[00:52:41] I feel like black women hold women each other accountable
[00:52:45] That's why everybody be like these women ain't got no friends
[00:52:48] It's because when these bitches see a flaw they move on the first time
[00:52:53] and like
[00:52:54] When when a woman
[00:52:56] At least someone of my standard and valor when when so many things start happening back to back to back
[00:53:02] You start doing some self-realization. I don't think that's the case for a lot of black men
[00:53:06] I don't know too many black men that'll sit down along with their thoughts and truly process it and come up with an extra plan to change it
[00:53:16] Yeah, that's true. Some of them do and like I said we say this all the time on the men's rounds and stuff like
[00:53:21] We need to take our behinds the therapy and go talk to somebody and get all our thoughts out and stuff
[00:53:26] We definitely advocate we definitely advocate therapy and stuff
[00:53:29] So niggas need to be advocating for news to go to school too to get some education too
[00:53:34] Because that's the missing link like you can tell the difference between someone who has been a part of higher education
[00:53:40] than someone who has not
[00:53:42] And like that is the link between the emotional intelligence. That is a large part of our IQ test
[00:53:49] how emotionally intelligent are you
[00:53:52] And as much as we want to push therapy on a lot of people a lot of people won't even have access to therapy unless they go to college
[00:53:59] Like an american south has the highest rate of mental issues mental health and again any other place in america
[00:54:07] You ain't gonna find no therapists down here
[00:54:09] These niggas don't even have a connection or wifi to be able to do telehealth
[00:54:13] like we need to put them in those spaces where
[00:54:17] Access to therapy access to counseling as well as access to higher knowledge is available
[00:54:24] Any niggas will stop fucking rapping everywhere. Everybody don't want you to be no rapper somebody gotta be a doctor lawyer
[00:54:32] Hello and also
[00:54:34] Also, we need to tell some of these girls stop rapping too because a lot of them
[00:54:37] We don't need y'all to be thoughts and stuff
[00:54:39] We let let them have all have that you know saying we need y'all to do y'all thing
[00:54:44] We need somebody to hold it down, you know
[00:54:46] Mm-hmm some bitch belong in the kitchen. It just ain't me
[00:54:50] Mm-hmm
[00:54:54] I I totally feel you on that so what do you have planned for your podcast for the remainder of the year?
[00:55:00] Oh, Jesus
[00:55:02] Um, I have a lot of plans for my podcast for the remainder of the year. Um
[00:55:08] But i'm only looking like two to three weeks out
[00:55:12] Ever since black history month, I have been swamped with episodes and i'm getting ready to
[00:55:19] Transition my podcast from audio only to visuals
[00:55:23] So that means that I have to learn how to do my own
[00:55:27] Like u.t. Style editing and it's a journey
[00:55:31] I'm kind of excited to go on i'm kind of not excited because i've gotten to the point where I've perfected my own
[00:55:37] Podcasting I do my own edits and I feel like that's really rare. I'm learning that a lot of people don't do like a lot of editing
[00:55:44] um, I'm
[00:55:45] Focus on the on like perfecting my own sound right?
[00:55:49] I feel like a lot of people want to mimic what everybody else is out here doing
[00:55:53] I don't be on other people podcasts unless they like to top 1% podcast because it's where I want my podcast to be
[00:56:00] So I see what the fuck they doing and what the foot they talking about come a bud
[00:56:04] I want my own sound so like
[00:56:07] Kind of those loose ends when it comes to my editing style
[00:56:12] Getting better equipment so that um, I can you know look and sound more professional
[00:56:18] As well as just expanding i'm planning on working on more partnerships with my podcast
[00:56:23] So that's different distribution apps different
[00:56:27] networks to promote it probably finding a television network to put my podcast on
[00:56:32] And um just getting bigger and better at it
[00:56:35] I'm also planning on like getting ready for my 100th episode as well as the start of season three
[00:56:41] Which is crazy to me
[00:56:43] But um at the point where you know most podcasts don't get past the first 50 episodes
[00:56:48] I'm on episode like 75 right now. I'm very proud of that
[00:56:53] So just trying to get over that hurdle so that I can be seen like as established and I feel like i'm getting to that point now
[00:57:02] Yes, that's that's major. You know that's major just keep going with that podcast and you know
[00:57:07] You're right now a lot of podcasts make it past 50 hell
[00:57:10] A lot of podcasts make past seven episodes because I can't tell you the number of podcasts I've gotten had on
[00:57:16] And I look at to look at them today. They not even reporting. I'm like what the hell did you do? You know, I'm saying so
[00:57:22] I definitely need you and just got keep pushing
[00:57:25] I also want to say too that you know
[00:57:28] The root of my passion is advocacy the method in which I distribute my advocacy is through the medium of podcasting
[00:57:36] So like yes, I'm a podcaster. Yes, I'm in the podcasting space
[00:57:41] But my focus is making sure that my community those who listen to me have the access to the information that I was given
[00:57:48] Because I paid thousands of dollars to go to college
[00:57:51] And I want people to have that information that I had to pay money for for free
[00:57:56] So like I don't want people to label me as morgan the podcaster because I wear different hats and I'm multi-dimensional
[00:58:05] Um, come on, but you know, there's just that's just where I'm at right now
[00:58:10] I get sure I definitely get you
[00:58:12] Well, well morgan listen, um, you know on words you do have one platform or you wouldn't I wouldn't have had you on
[00:58:18] I don't agree to have you on look at all
[00:58:21] Why do they need to subscribe and tap into the afrocentric podcast?
[00:58:25] Yeah, y'all need to
[00:58:28] elevate your consciousness
[00:58:30] Um, I would feel number one
[00:58:32] I will listen to my podcast because it is a full experience anytime you enter into the afrocentric space
[00:58:38] You will feel the essence of the blackness in which that we all embody, right?
[00:58:43] Number two, if you want to be well informed about current events
[00:58:48] Past events different modes of thinking and ideology. I was subscribed to it. I am actively trying to
[00:58:56] Discontinue the thought that number one black people have no culture and no heritage and that black people live a monolithic experience
[00:59:04] I'm actively proving to people number one that we understand what our heritage is
[00:59:10] We understand the vastness of our heritage and there's no one way to be black
[00:59:15] It is a mono. It is a non monolithic experience
[00:59:18] So i'ma show you different black bitches and black niggas in every different facet of their life
[00:59:24] And if you want to be awakened and you want to be conscious and you want to understand that we are just civilized people
[00:59:30] Or having civilized conversations
[00:59:32] Yes, that's real well morgan. I want to thank you for blessing to look at talk with your presence
