In light of the recent events that took place in Harlem (a mother being killed by her son, a group of males assaulting a black woman, an other woman getting shot to death), we are discussing ways on how to develop effective coping skills.

With a new location and new vibrations, the hosts of Stimulating Minds are back for the new year. Listen as we acknowledge Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's legacy, discuss the recent events that took place on the Capitol, and much more.

As the year comes to an year, we reflect back on the year's ups and downs and speak on what's to come for the new year.

We explore the legal system from the perspective of individuals who have been both sides, and address the current status of bail reformation.

A continuation of what was discussed recently.

We reflect on the Presidential election and its outcome and engage on what the future presidency will look like for black and brown people here in America.

Exploring relationships and friendships and how to set boundaries in both. What does that look like and how do we respect each other's boundaries?

Today we question the term "masculinity" and why it can be considered "toxic." In this episode, our guest Kevin Caraballo-Barrios blesses us with his presence and adds on to the topic of toxic masculinity. Kevin Caraballo Barrios was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, who came from humble beginnings. Kevin comes from Afro-Latino descent and prides himself with his authenticity, no matter where it goes. He has recently begun working as a social worker and enjoys serving people who are in need. Kevin is looking forward to accomplishing other milestones in his life and spending quality time with the people he loves.
