From the mind of the JBHarris, the voice behind the TikTok account @whatjayesaid2.0, come the podcast of the same name! Here we talk about life, culture (pop culture included) book recommendations—with a liberal dash of sophistiratchet! You’re family now,
This episode was from August 2024, during the active campaigning of Presidential candidate, VP Kamala Harris. In the talk President Obama gave last week, he called Black men in and popped ALLUM in the back of they heads.And now they...mad?Why?Link to Black Like That:https://www.yumpu.com/s/69BmincrTaEe7WpqAlso thank you to the new family at GCPR Radio Station!

Grief is complicated. For all his contributions...I already wanna dig him up and slap hellfire from him and tho'im right back in the dirt.
Debate Night 2024 was something which had to be seen to be believed! Once more, Madame Vice President brought everything we needed, and had a 78-year-old on the ropes and on the floor--I ain't seen a whuppin so bad since I saw my cousin get got by our aunt! Note: Madam VP part of the D9, and an AKA--I heard her line name was C-Cubed (Cool. Calm. Collected). I misquoted her here.

We are within 90 days from the upcoming election --and we still need to take care of ourselves, and the people in your circle. Remember the words of Mr. Rogers: "Look for the helpers."
(Note: We are still working out the kinks from the changing platform--but we keep going.) TW: Death/ Police Violence Sonya Massey should not be dead...and I am tired of people playing in my face (and other Black people's faces about this).

Admin Note: Bare with us as we are in the muddy middle of changing podcasting platforms. We are in the last 100 days before this COMING HISTORIC Presidential election. And the Right us pulling out all the old (and new) stops to make sure no one votes.

Trigger warning: IPV, DV. Have we/When did we make Sean Combs a King? Thank you to Brother Malcolm, My Daddy, and y'all's Internet Uncle #BlackAdam who are quoted at the top of this show. It was Sean's apology, my own experiences, the the essay Necromancy Of Black Women (written by me) that influenced this continued conversation. Then he said this, “They have allegiance to the mighty dollar and the kingmakers.” Grab the essay from here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSBD9FB6?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_50T0ZSPHHN5YZVZZV1H8&language=en_US.

For this bonus episode, I mentioned a conversation I had with #BlackAdam earlier this week. I'm grateful for the conversation, I'm thankful for the flow of ideas… As a reminder that the community is in turmoil… And yet there is still work to do. Podcast mentioned: THA ANTIDOTE PODCAST hosted by Prof. Odi (IG: @prof.odi). Books Mentioned: SOUTHERN HORRORS, THE RED RECORD by Ida B. Wells Barnett. Addendum: I am aware that Black men were given the write to vote after Emancipation, and the first Senators after Reconstruction were Black men. Politics have been a part of being Black in America. If this be so, why are so many BM receptive of White Supremacist talking points? Just sayin'…
When vice president Kamala Harris was on the Drew Barrymore show last week, and turned to her… The last thing I thought she was going to ask was that this accomplished black woman be the mammy of the nation. But she did, didn't she?
In the wake of the “beef” between Kendrick Lamar and Drake—and the White people who tried to jump bad—there is more here than ‘who won.' Link to 50 YEARS OF HIP-HOP: 50 Years Of Hip- Hop: http://jenniferharrisbreathesfire.blog/2023/07/31/50-years-of-hip-hop-intro/
Our most excellent cousin Akira has graced this space to bring her level of joy and smoke to this conversation. As you all know, THE NECROMANCY OF BLACK WOMEN essay talks have been going on since February 2024. Yet, it is never a bad time to remind Black women, they are more, immaculate, and special than they could ever imagine. And freedom is for you too! Purchase the essay here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSBD9FB6?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_50T0ZSPHHN5YZVZZV1H8&language=en_US Follow Akira here: https://msha.ke/akiraelaun.
For this episode, let's call this the precursor to the essays that will be up on my Patreon in June. At the time of this recording Orenthal James Simpson, known in this lifetime is O.J. Simpson, has died at the age of 76. It is not possible to eulogize him… We must just accept what is.
Dawn Staley is a level of GOAT we won't see again. Which is why to ignore her is ludicrous! But here we are (again), eh?
What I am determined to stamp out is this idea of being a “likeable” as a Black woman. The RIGHT kind of Black woman not only DOES NOT EXIST, there is no way to exactly REMAIN her if you ARE her (which I assure you, you not sis). Note: I misspoke; her name is PEARL MOORE. Pearl Moore of Francis Marion has the overall women's record with 4,061 points from 1975-79 at the small-college level in the AIAW. Moore had 177 points at Anderson Junior College before enrolling at Francis Marion. This was BEFORE those records were incorporated into the NCAA.

Freedom is complicated especially if you are black and woman. They are people who still believe the right kind of black woman exist… So freedom is going to be as individual as the Black woman who claims it. But that doesn't mean she doesn't deserve it. That also doesn't mean that she has to step on another Black woman to get it! We got merch now! Find yours here: https://seewhatjayesaid.threadless.com/designs/official-whatjayesaid-store

Life is crazy. Check on the strong friends. Also give Native people their land back. NOTE: This lists of shouts is NOT exhaustive—I promise!
I am team humanity. And a 2-state solution. Remember Pulp Fiction: “Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children…” Link to “All Of What I Do Not Know” - http://jenniferharrisbreathesfire.blog/2023/11/16/all-of-what-i-do-not-know/

In continuing the conversation started with Queue, I invite TikTok's Favorite Aunt into this space to give her opinion on what it means to get free, be free and stay free.
Sometimes, people take things too far... And some folk don't know when to NOT tell everyone anything.
Essay referenced: HISTORY IS A WEAPON -1923 (A. Garvey). The RIGHT kind of Black woman doesn't exist. With this conversation with my Good Sister Queue, we got to cut the grass to find the snakes and the spiders. Follow THA ANTIDOTE (hosted by Professor Odi) on Spotify. And ODI'S OFFICE on YouTube. Note: This is a burgeoning series. Stay tuned. For more brilliance follow I BREATHE FIRE—especially, the series THE NECROMANCY OF BLACK WOMEN (it is in 5 parts) here the intro: http://jenniferharrisbreathesfire.blog/2023/08/31/the-necromancy-of-black-women-intro/
As of this broadcast, the documentary about Kirk Franklin's search for his biological father has gone viral. I urge you to watch the documentary, listen to this podcast all the way the end. Note: there will be documentary spoilers.
Rho (TT: RhoReports) had to prove her injuries because people said she was lying. It is easier to trust a lie than a Black woman—and that should not be so. Yet, here we are — again.
As of this posting Coach Deion Sanders is 3-0 at Colorado State. He is WINNING! And yet, there are people wishing his downfall! What is going on here, family? Note: There will be references to BONUS #6 - Jackson State Let You Be Coach Prime…”
Dating is trash and I'm really still not sure why this LEVEL of trash exists! For this particular show, I talk about a blockspinner, an ex, and why it's important to keep choosing yourself. Sometimes, the best revenge is not just a glow-up… it's to let people miss you. LET. THEM. MISS. YOU.
*Note: This episode was filmed in New York, on Labor Day Weekend 2023. My Trip to New York as an adult was a reminder that I had a whole other plan for my life — and God had another. My mother was right. Had I left Missouri, I would never have come back. I would have NEVER come back! I would BE home. And I still am home…
For this particular episode, y'all know I had to weigh in on orange Danos, and this mug shot! Yeah, there a deeper things are foot! With this we commemorating the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington… It's just some people who would rather have air on the plantation them to be free of it.
On this day, three years ago, we lost Chadwick Boseman. It seems odd to refer to him in an ancestor capacity, but yet here we are! As an easy as it is to speak about him, I really believe that the lasting artistic legacy we have keeps him close to us. Besides, how can you bury a king, we have all seen him rise?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIP-HOP! This genre of music has shaped my life, and that is not an understatement. For this bonus episode, I remember people who introduced me to this genre, special memories, and why I think it's important we never forget why this genre is as powerful as it is. Don't forget to follow the miniseries HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIP-HOP! 50 YEARS IN 31 DAYS on my website I BREATHE FIRE! Here's the link to TRACK 1 to get you started: https://jenniferharrisbreathesfire.wordpress.com/2023/08/01/in-my-former-life-i-wanted-to-be-a-b-girl/
The Battle of Montgomery on August 5, 2023 is a watershed moment in Blackness. It truly is! As HILARIOUS as this is, as needed as it was, it shows that we have more power than what we think, White people gon' White people, and there is a whole purpose for anger (thank you, Audre Lorde!”). There is a quote from WARNING POEM by Langston Hughes mentioned in this episode as well—read ANYTHING by him. We are now the evidence of our ancestors' sacrifice and faith—let us not forget that.
*Note: Carlee Russell has been found and is with her family. As we let the rest of this matter unfold, I will believe Black women until I have no reason NOT to! With all that is happening with Carlietha “Carlee” Russell, there is almost a Cthulhu nature to what is happening now. Within almost a week, this woman's life (for good or ill) will never be the same…ever again. Yet, the darker thing is THE WHY.
“And Imma keep saying it!” It is always an EXPERIENCE when Ms. Cooki Ann is on this platform! She has declared her to be a free Black woman, and encourages other Black women to follow suite! She is not a public figure, a mammie, or a judge of your past—yet, this portion of wisdom shared here is a reminder that you will never be too old to be poured into—or be confirmed you are going in the right direction. In my Big Freedia voice, “YOU BETTER ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!”
