This week I have observed dozens of snippets that show just how Colorism is STILL very prevalent. Although there are facts that show how colorism affects dark-skinned Black people more harshly, there are people who will go out of their way to ignore these facts or attempt to prove that privilege based on complexion is non-existent. This topic is very sensitive and some may even say controversial, however it is my belief that having an open dialogue helps to create understanding and most importantly UNITY.

This episode discusses the importance of Black people using their voices, narrating our own stories, and having the means to produce them. Those who control the media, are the ones who have continued to tell our inaccurate history. My Guest, The Monique Lisa, joins in on the conversation and discusses how she found her voice, how she was inspired to write, and the advise she has for other inspiring writers.

This episode was inspired from the Memes that were trending stating "f*ck being shot, you ever been (insert any funny comparison). Have you ever thought if a person who actually got shot found humor in the meme? I did. I have a few friends who, unfortunately, have been shot, and they can't think of anything that hurt more than actually getting shot. So, I decided to invite a guest to the show, who could speak from experience of getting shot, and the advice he has for youth who may be following down a similar path. Just like the meme that merges a serious situation with humor, this episode does the same. Tune in to hear my guest use humility and humor to share his traumatic experience.Guest IG: Sam_Gz_bitchplzHost IG: MzshynetymePodcast IG: PreciousTruthz

This episode we discuss the Classic Book "Song of Solomon" by Toni Morrison. This book takes readers on an unbelievable journey of self discovery, and challenges the reader to rediscover themselves and their own lineage.

The book has so many plot twist, which takes you through a maze like adventure. We also explain why we decided to create a "virtual book club" and how we developed a love of reading. Even if you have not read this book, you can still partake in how we relate this book from the 70s to our current lives in 2020!!

After she was finally able tackle her addiction, she slowly rebuilt her life and has done her best to make up for the time lost with her children.

Although, since youth my father has verbalize to me that black is beautiful, I allowed society to teach me differently. However, I unlearned society's standard of beauty and taught myself that MELANIN IS MAGIC! IG: @Mzshynetyme @Ms.Oye

In this episode I discuss the process it takes to begin to love yourself. In order to love yourself wholeheartedly you have discover what convinced you otherwise. There are a plethora of elements in my youth that persuaded me to believe that black wasn't beautiful. It was understanding that these negative connotations about black features had been taught to me that allowed me to consciously unlearn them, so I could live in my Truthz.

During this episode I describe a moment in my youth, where I have questioned whether it could be considered a 'Me Too' moment. I always felt that there are victims who have experienced traumatizing moments, and that my experience was minimal in comparison. However, I discuss what I would like people to learn from my experience.
