Dom L'Amour speaks with good friend Bo Lamarr AKA @bolamardrums about Black History Month!When the echoes of our ancestors' struggles and triumphs seem faint in the annals of mainstream history, Black History Month comes to amplify those voices. That's precisely what Bo Lamar and I, Dom L'Amour, set out to do in our latest conversation. We weave through the narratives that have shaped not just a people, but a nation, stressing the need to honor the true depth and breadth of African American heritage. Our dialogue ventures into uncharted territories of our collective past, from the overlooked narratives in places like Missouri's Meacham Park to the cultural resonance of figures like Questlove, who inspire us to claim our space in the historical landscape.As we unpack the complex layers of African American contributions, we critically examine the Western-centric portrayals offered in spaces like Epcot's American history tour, standing in stark contrast to the rich global influences of African and Native American civilizations. We confront head-on the media's skewed representation of Black individuals, drawing from personal experiences to challenge the stereotypes that persist in sports and television. The conversation takes a poignant turn towards the resilience of our forebears and the importance of self-education in African American history, urging our listeners to explore the full tapestry of our stories that extend far beyond what textbooks teach. Join us as we celebrate Black History Month — not just as a period of reflection but as a continual journey of discovery and empowerment.Opening quote: Quest LoveOpening and Closing Theme song: Produced by Dom L'AmourTransition Music from Mad Chops Vol1 and Vol. 2 by Mad Keysand from Piano Soul Vol.1(Loop Pack) by The Modern Producers TeamCover art by Studio Mania: Custom Art @studiomania99Please subscribe to the podcast, and give us a good rating. 5 stars please and thank you.

Dom L'Amour speaks with Artist Bovell AKA Kaylan Royston (@kaylan.bowellroyston) about Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Black History monthAs Dom L'Amour, I found myself weaving through the intricate tapestries of mixed-race identity and Black History with my insightful guest, Bovell, otherwise known as Kaylan Royston. We embark on a journey that celebrates the legendary Sister Rosetta Tharpe and the undeniable influence of African American women in crafting the cultural phenomenon of rock and roll. Our dialogue dances around the themes of self-discovery and collective empowerment, recognizing Black History Month as more than a period of recognition—it's a gateway to self-forgiveness and embracing the joy that thrives within the Black experience. By casting a spotlight on the power of positive representation and the arts, we beckon our listeners to join us in fostering empathy and unraveling the shared threads of our histories.The very fabric of this episode is stitched with the narratives of educational impact and the navigation through America's racially woven social landscape. Bovell and I share a candid conversation, pulling threads from our own lives—how family, the significance of early education in Black history, and the contrasting racial climates of cities like Atlanta and Boston shape our sense of self and acceptance. We confront the educational disparities that persistently color our communities and the pressing need to preserve the rich tapestry of African American history. As we traverse the nuances of identity and inequality, this episode stands as a poignant reflection on the power of knowledge and the necessity of authentic racial identification within the educational sphere. Join us for an honest exchange that not only questions but seeks to mend the patchwork of our collective understanding.Opening quote: Sister Rosetta TharpeOpening and Closing Theme song: Produced by Dom L'AmourTransition Music from Mad Chops Vol. 1 and Mad Chops Vol. 2 by Mad Keysand from Piano Soul Vol.1(Loop Pack) by The Modern Producers TeamCover art by Studio Mania: Custom Art @studiomania99Please subscribe to the podcast, and give us a good rating. 5 stars please and thank you.

I find myself thinking about your smile.I haven't felt this way in a while.Smitten beyond repair.No other smile will ever compare.I'm sitting here with a scattered mind,But your smile makes it easy to unwind.I feel bad for those who did not see The love I hope to steal just for me.I Usually can't escape my own way.But with you I can't run out of things to say.So pretty, so brave, so sexy, so new.Give me 1 millions choices and I'll always choose you.You created this path for me to walk free.It's been so long that I'm jumping with glee.I feel like me again.I can finally see again.Your smile was the key to knock down these walls.I answer with a smile to unidentified calls.The air smells great, and the sky's clear for miles.Thank you soo much for bringing me that beautiful smile.Poem by.

Flipping through the pages of a useless newspaper.Trying to figure out my dinner for later.Dropped my keys but caught it real quick.I was all alone, so my celebration was to pick my favorite Kanye west song on my phone.Oh yea, We MajorWalking to the beat, intrigued by the sound.Admiring my skin, the suns got me a nice toasty brown.I love this song so I'm spinning around.Noticed this girl, stopped and looked straight at the ground.She is soo cute, I'm about 50 feet away.Didn't realize I'd be smitten today.Love at first sight? Stop with that mess.But I would love to at least smile at her, test the waters.She's smiling at me already, how did I get so lucky?I feel goofy as hell right now. Take out one of those earbuds and say something."You're really pretty" You sound like a douche,She "Hi!" He "Hey, I'm sorry about that"She "It's ok" he "I'm Dom" she "I'm Sky"I feel so light I could fly.What do I say? Wanna sit?She "Wanna hang for a bit?"That's it! He "yea"Two strangers vibing and colliding.Haha this is really exciting.Poem by.

You're all I need to get by. I say hi with a smile and it grows bigger when I say goodbye. Why be sad when I leave you? Every moment with you I get to embrace my best friend.You make me happy.I never feel negative energy from you. It's always organic positive, wonderful vibes that I crave everyday. I feel like I took one look at you and I dedicated my life to you. It was destiny that you and I met. With you I'm absolutely at my best. With you I can open any door. You are my fun under the sun and I've never felt that way about anyone. I can only hope I give you half of the joy and motivation that you give me. You are always there for me in time of need to push me up the hill. I kneel at your feet with my arms opened wide, completely surrendering my independence. We've created a foundation that exceeds all of my wildest expectations. With you I've found strength where I was torn down; ready to cry. I say this with full confidence;You're all I need to get byPoem by.
