In this episode, we chop it up with Innclusive co-founders Zakiyyah Myers and Rohan Gilkes, who transformed their own #AirbnbWhileBlack debacle into a company that prides itself on providing international travel accommodations free of discriminatory behavior. We also discuss D'Angelo's peculiar absence at The BET Awards, the inherent challenges of being a Black business owner, and Zakiyyah dishes on some of her favorite travel destinations.

The Black Daddy Chronicles (Feat. Nickolas Gaines & Irna Landrum of Daily Kos) Jun 14, 2016

Show notes

As we celebrate Father's Day for our third episode, we bring back fan favorite Nickolas Gaines (Suicide Prevention Program Director of the United States Department of Defense) and welcome essayist, activist, and Daily Kos' own Irna Landrum to join us in a roundtable discussion on Black masculinity, the wonders of Ice JJ Fish, and fatherhood. We laughed, we cried, but most importantly, we healed. Additionally, we take a moment to express our condolences for the mass shooting in Orlando, as well as take some time to reflect on the legacy of Muhammad Ali.

We Fall Down (Feat. Nickolas Gaines) May 26, 2016

Show notes

In our second episode, we chime in on the ongoing Sugar vs. Salt grits debate, reveal the salacious contents within our phones, and continue our discussion on mental health/illness in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month with our special guest Nickolas Gaines, a Suicide Prevention Program Director for the United States Department of Defense. Oh, and in other news, Nick's edges are wonderful.

Beyoncé Is Bacon (Feat. Damon Young & Panama Jackson of VerySmartBrothas) May 15, 2016

Show notes

In our debut episode, we come out the gate strong and chop it up with the most notable pair of VerySmartBrothas we could find: The esteemed Damon Young and Panama Jackson. In this nearly two hour long extravaganza, waffles, pancakes, and french toast learn their fate in our power rankings, we extol the virtues of Sisqo's "Thong Song", and in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we take some time to discuss how these issues have impacted the Black community. And because we love ya'll, Beyoncé might've made ya'll sign up for Tidal, but we're giving you this precious gospel for free.
