Somebody Do Something

Listener's discretion is advised, this bonus episode of SDS is a complete fangirl BeyHive moment between two Beyonce superfans. After a routine IG analysis following the drop of the new Beyonce project - Renaissance: Act I, Philly Shira asked her friend The Kai Rob to be featured on this episode because it was too good and hilarious to not share. It's a series of voice notes and DM banter about the levels of amazing that is this album and all the hype surrounding the release. This is a collection of our most biased and passionate feelings and opinions about Bey and it's not to be taken personally. Take it with a couple grains of salt to the tongue followed by a shot of tequila and a lime wedge.

Can I talk my shit again?!! SDS is back and it's been a while, let's catch up! This season we're trying something new. We're trading interviews for conversations and exchanging structured information for current events. Listeners, expect some structural changes and new segments added to the show in upcoming months! Today's episode is a conversation generally about the black community and where we stand in America. Philly Shira spoke with her cousin, Mick, about value, gun violence, police brutality and we think of some potential solutions to some of our community/social issues surrounding these topics. He gives his perspective as a young teenager in Philadelphia. This is not an entirely lighthearted episode but it is extremely necessary. It's conducive to our healing and liberation as a community to have conversations about our trauma. Feels good to be back!

The Ballot or The Bullet is a speech by Malcolm X that serves as an outline for Parts 1 & 2 of The Economics Series. It moves very much along the line of Nipsey Hussle's message, as well. It's about economic strength and how to exercise that power. It's about investing in your community to enhance your daily life and your neighbor's. Here's the start of unpacking some of these ideas - listen in, grab a pen!
