SNT returns with a post-election solo episode full of reflective golden nuggets for you -- and for herself! Full of heart and, yes, sorrow and disdain, Senator Turner questions what brought about the election outcome and gives thanks to the thousands of supporters who made her race competitive. While taking the bitter with the sweet, SNT implores us to remain vigilant; reminds us that the journey does not end with a loss as there is still opportunity and NEED to continue on this path to justice. Hello Somebody!

COVID in the Black Community: Crossing Color Lines – Episode 4 – Dr. Debra Furr-Holden Here in our last COVID-series episode, Senator Turner talks mandating vaccination equity with Dr. Debra Furr-Holden, epidemiologist, health equity researcher, public health activist and Associate Dean for Public Health Integration at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. Understanding that the good-will of government is simply not enough to get shots into arms, SNT and Furr-Holden break down the facts: there is a hierarchy on the value of human life which has been established by systemic racism. To get vulnerable people vaccinated, there must be a policy on the “how” to get it done. Now. Because, if there is a will, there is a legislative way. #MandateEquity. Hello Somebody!

COVID in the Black Community: Crossing Color Lines – Episode 3 – Cliff Louis Recorded 2/11/21 When Cliff Louis, former NFL player and current real estate agent/ investor, found himself crawling on the floor from his bed to the bathroom, he knew something was terribly wrong.

Senator Turner and Louis talk about what it takes for Black folk, Black men and all of us to trust going to the doctor. Louis’ COVID-19 fight helps us realize self-preservation only happens with self-care, and for some of us, that is going to include more than prayer, a hot compress and hope.

Recorded in August 2020, we're republishing LET'S SLAY THE DRAGON because less has changed than more -- and we need a reminder. On July 27, 2020, Medicare For All, which SNT is a large proponent of, was voted down. She’s pissed, she’s fired up, she’s calling on Jesus to help us rise up, to help us unite, to help us get to a day of reckoning that says ‘No’ to a corporatist system that has run amok. Through a call to us and to progressive organizations, she makes a plea for Choice, Challenge and Change – that we be disruptors to reform and to revolutionize our entrenched system that does harm. She asks us to look at the evils we must abolish short-term (neofascism in the white house) and the long-term (neoliberalism of our nation) and to slay the dragon that is preventing the change to come.

Our former history professor SNT prophesizes with respected historian, author, activist, intellectual and educator, Dr Barbara Ransby. These two history teachers make an intersectional analysis on where we’ve been and where we’re going by looking specifically at the Black woman’s experience in America and how that affects ALL people. Looking back to our foremothers and sisters like Ella Baker and Anita Hill, Turner and Ransby – bonded in defense of ourselves – present an educational prelude to how we must reimagine society in a fundamental way to see a future that embraces equality across race, class, gender, economics and wealth.

Nina has a philosophically lyrical conversation with Dr Cornel West, author, philosopher, activist and whom she refers to as an “intergalactically known intellectual.” Under the guise of comparing the blues to our painful current times, this Blues Brother and Blues Sister get low down and dirty about love – that type of bounce-back love that is needed to heal our current catastrophe, that type of love that the Blues songs encapsulate so well and that type of blues that Black folks have been singing since 1870. This episode will have you pressing rewind – just like any good song – so you can catch that “Doc West” melody, that phrasing, that messaging that will feed your soul in this time that is full of heartache but capable of compassion, creativity, smiles and styles.

This election cycle has SNT coming in HOT! With an immediate demand that we form an affiliation not with a party but with humanity, this Hell-raising Humanitarian explains that a moral mandate must be met, in this country – beginning yesterday. We must light a powder keg – NOT of violence, but one that ignites impactful leadership that provides a vision for the people, one that explodes with cohesiveness and one that actually provides for people rather than denying basic rights. Hello Somebody! SNT reminds us that getting back to normal ain’t gonna cut it, because “normal” never worked for the majority, it worked for the minority.
