Welcome to the third season of Black Butterfly Podcast…a space where Black/Brown women can come to feel empowered, understood, and validated. I‘ve got something to say and I’m bringing it to the mic. I started this podcast to reach out and relate to women like me, that look like me, that had similar upbringings, similar life experiences. These similarities are how we identify, emphasize, and sympathize with one another. Be sure to listen out for new segments and a new lineup this season including WTF Wednesdays. And, remember to always Fly Black Butterfly Fly!

Education Reinvention Bill Needed for Our Kids - Now In order to build a stronger, more self-efficient country, we must first be willing to change. To build a progressive and competitive society, our most important challenge is to change its antiquated educational system. In every political administration, education must be first and foremost. Without a strong and revitalized educational system, we (as a country) will never progress to greatness nor be able to alleviate any of our other ills. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blackbutterflypodcast/message

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and Black Butterfly Podcast is a strong advocate against stalking, objectification, domestic violence, and abuse against Black and multicultural women on a global level, and is also joining with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence as an ally in its mission to be the voice of victims and survivors of domestic violence. This is a time to remember victims/survivors of abuse and exploitation, to raise awareness of violence and its effect on Black families and communities, and a time to acknowledge and highlight those working to address ending gender-based violence. Tonight we shine a light on five missing Black mothers and daughters open/cold/unsolved cases from Michigan (metro-Detroit and surrounding areas): Carlita Yvette Gentry-Lohmeier, Kalisha Markita Madden, Bianca Chanel Green, DeNeka Deshay Walker, and Bianca Lily Jones. This series is in support of the Michigan State Police, Detroit's 1-800-SPEAKUP, the Black and Missing Foundation, Inc., NamUs (the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under the Department of Justice), the FBI's Kidnapping & Missing Persons database, as well as other organizations in their efforts to bring awareness to missing people of color, to educate our communities, and to help bring them home, bring closure to their loved ones, and to help them to seek justice. There is no statute of limitations on abduction/kidnapping/murder. #weareresilent #blackgirlsmissing #octoberisdomesticviolenceawarenessmonth #blackbutterflypodcast #ncadv --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blackbutterflypodcast/message
