The Love Stories of Marcus Garvey, Political Leader and Famed Orator Jan 08, 2024

Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican-born political leader, publisher, journalist, and orator who played a pivotal role in the Black Nationalist and Pan-African movements during the early 20th century. As the co-founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in 1914, Garvey advocated for the economic, political, and cultural empowerment of people of African descent worldwide. However, most of the success of the legend of Marcus Garvey should be also attributed to his two wives, Amy Ashwood Garvey and Amy Jacques Garvey. They both played significant roles in his life and career.

The Love Stories of Pam Grier, The Real Foxy Brown Aug 21, 2023

When you think of blaxploitation films, you have to think of her. Her on-screen performances in films such as "Coffy" and "Foxy Brown” made her the original baddie, if you think about it. She would evolve into a well-rounded actress, working with the likes of Spike Lee, Quintin Tarantino, Paul Newman, and the Weinstein brothers. But before she was the woman we all know and love, she was Pammy, a girl from Denver that loved the outdoors.

So yes, this episode is dedicated to the love stories of the one and only Pam Grier. Though she never married, she came close, many times — even to a few people you know.

In Honor of Loving Week: Celebrating Interracial Marriages of Our Favorite Celebrities Jun 12, 2023

You wouldn’t be able to have a white boy on your roster that feeds you pasta and lobster if it wasn’t for Mildred and Richard Loving. Fifty-six years ago on June 12, 1967, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that interracial marriage could not be prohibited by state, which meant thousands and even millions of relationships to come could be legally bound.

In honor of it being Loving week, let’s look at the several marriages that were made possible, including those of Ron & Opal Perlman, Jordan Peele & Chelsea Peretti, Paula Patton & Robin Thicke, and Robert De Niro and his marriages to Diahnne Abbott and Grace Hightower and his relationship to Toukie Smith.

All in The Family: The Love Stories of The Cookes & The Womacks Apr 28, 2023

We really just turned a TikTok video series into a full-fledged podcast. Girl! We did it, Joe!

To celebrate the inaugural Aisle Tell You What podcast episode (you have to go to YouTube for the visual version), I am giving you an episode y'all have requested many many times: the story of Sam Cooke + Bobby Womack. But let's go further than that -- let's just talk about the Cookes and the Womacks because these two families go together real bad.

But you tell me what you think: about this story but also about the first episode! And share it out, Aisle Runners/Aislanders (the name is still TBD, by the way.)
