Join me, Stef, Addis, and our FBI agent as we weather another social distancing week. In this episode we’ve got so much to say about a lot of things. It’s pretty much our stream of consciousness.

For Part One we will be discussing the Introduction, Warnings, and Blame chapter of the book. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sugarbeat-podcast/message

I decided to bring all of my thoughts on recent films into one episode! I start off with a brief review of Liberty in a Soup by Alexis Dudley: a beautiful documentary that tells the story of the Haitian revolution. Then I go into a rant about the DCU and Joker, ending the episode praising Birds of Prey for being the girl power comic adaptation that we’ve been waiting for!

GALXARA from the Birds of Prey Soundtrack. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sugarbeat-podcast/message

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Sugarbeat Summer Series!!!! But now as we near the end of September that means the official end of summer. This summer was a crazy one for all of us but we came out on the other end strong for the fall! I’d like to warn you that this episode has nothing to do with anything. Join us as we discuss romance in media and what makes us all warm and fuzzy inside (or not). Let us know your fav love and/or breakup songs and enjoy the playlists. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sugarbeat-podcast/message

Yo check that alliteration though. So... after being like Nashville makes Miami feel like a family place, we proceeded to be like well, we even do white girl wasted (WGW) than they do. Take a lesson from us as we made rookie mistakes all night , so you don’t have to. We sit down for the pettiest pasta we’ve ever acquired and try to piece the night together. This was essentially a throwback in more than one way: old school reggaeton party, WGW, being betrayed, being stuck in I 95 traffic. All the things from the old school Miami days. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sugarbeat-podcast/message

Join me as I recount my crazy work week, how I’m not a racist, and how Nashville made Miami look like a family place. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sugarbeat-podcast/message

I finally crossed out one of the things on my bucket list so we’ve got a good start! I was able to fulfill a dream of mine and most importantly with my amazing group of friends. Year 28 is gonna be lit so grab the Pinooooot Niorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Welcome back to the Sugarbeat Summer Series! Of course you guys know that I have thoughts about Halle Bailey being cast as Ariel in the live remake of the Little Mermaid.

I am sooooo excited for the first of many in the Sugarbeat Summer Series ☀️ It’s basically me with friends trying to beat the summer heat. Today I have several guests at the same time so my apologies now for the audio. One of those guests being Sofie, who makes her Sugarbeat debut. Here’s THAT Maluma commercial: https://youtu.be/uHNvlyZ87VI We discuss the nuances behind referring to a man as a redbone. You’ll find this leads us down the idiom/colloquialism rabbit hole and hijinx ensues. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Redbone Urban Dictionary, please sponsor this podcast

Your eyes do not deceive you, two episodes in just one week! I talk about this awesome crowdfunding campaign (https://wefundblack.com/projects/soul-food-market/), everyone and their mom (or rather my mom) kept interrupting me, even Sunny disrupts my recording: Top 10 Anime Betrayals.

This episode is extra long, I guess I had a lot to say. The main takeaway is: let’s make Nip proud. Let’s celebrate each other, love ourselves, love one another, and help each other reach our fullest potential. Edit: Just found out that BET will be airing Nipsey Hussle’s memorial at 1 PM EST. It will also be streaming on BET.com and their FB. I’ll be reposting the info on IG as well. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sugarbeat-podcast/message

Hey guys. This is a little episode that I threw together while I was in Colombia. I love that it’s me with my family in the midst of the craziness and the emotion. This is one is dedicated to my grandfather Rafael Ojeda Molina. I look back and see that a lot of my drive to read, seek out information, and my journalistic approach to life is something that I can say is contributed to my Abuelo. Come with me, meet my family. Get to know Colombia a little bit. I can’t pretend this is an all-encompassing piece but working on this in my family’s presence was pretty great. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sugarbeat-podcast/message
