Did you know that the federal government used policies to segregate America back in the 1930's? By building housing projects, redlining neighborhoods, and denying Black and Brown people access to housing, government agencies shaped America's neighborhoods as we know them today. But how can we break the negative stigma surrounding housing projects today? Also, what can be done about improving the living conditions of tenants now? Listen to this episode to learn more.

This week, we're talking about respectability politics and how it relates to the word "coon" and "shucking and jiving". We also discuss why subscribing to respectability politics will not save you or make you the exception to the rule.
Respectability politics: "When minority and/or marginalized groups are told (or teach themselves) that in order to receive better treatment from the group in power, they must behave better or present themselves as being different from the group at large.”

Welcome to season 5! Missed us?
This week we're talking about why it's important for you to craft your own idea of success. Inspired by a conversation with Chadwick Boseman, the episode dives into why you shouldn't let others determine what success is to you and what questions you should be asking to begin setting your own standards.

This week's podcast episode is more of a relaxed conversation between me and you. I recently reflected on some opportunities I thought were for me but didn't pan out the way I imagined. The overall message though is the question- What is this season teaching you?
