Harry Styles has had a big week with the release of “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.” and even if he doesn't pay attention to reviews, there's a vital one in this episode. Annie and Nick discuss the new album, as well as a myriad of other new releases including War Child Records' compilation album HELP (2), Yebba, and Eliza. Elsewhere, Timothée Chalamet has made a massive error by dismissing ballet and opera, but one good to come from it is Annie wants to learn how to sing classical music – and she takes some inspiration from Madonna to show how ready she is for the challenge. And Nick recently revealed the song that made him cry as a 10-year-old and now he has some scientific answers as to why music can inspire such intense emotional reactions. HOMEWORK: Listen to the HELP (2) album and/or get in touch if you think you can teach Annie and Nick to sing opera. Get in touch with Annie and Nick!

La música puede ser un refugio en tiempos oscuros; puede alzar la voz para denunciar y exigir. Y también, de una forma mucho más prosaica, puede poner el arte al servicio de una causa y recaudar fondos para mitigar los efectos de las malas decisiones de otros. Así nace, 30 años después, el segundo volumen del proyecto HELP, el nuevo álbum benéfico impulsado por War Child Records, que reúne a algunos de los artistas más influyentes del panorama británico e internacional para apoyar a niños afectados por conflictos armados. Un trabajo sobresaliente, capitaneado en la producción por James Ford, al que se suman Depeche Mode, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Arlo Parks, Beck, Cameron Winter (Geese), Pulp, Beth Gibbons, Big Thief, Wet Leg u Olivia Rodrigo, entre otros.

America says it's cool with you being Black… until it isn't.Too dark for the white side. Too light for the Black side. And somehow, you're just supposed to figure out where you belong. This is episode 31 of Let's Get Real — and it's one of the most personal, honest, and necessary conversations I've had on this show. We're talking Black History Month, light skin identity, and what it actually looks like to raise Black children in a world that still hasn't figured out how to see them clearly.I'll say what most people won't say out loud — Black History Month shouldn't be a separate month. It should be woven into every curriculum, every classroom, every dinner table conversation in this country. We lost too much history before Dr. Carter G. Woodson built the foundation for it. But it's 2026. We need to stop treating it like a checkbox and start treating it like what it is: our shared American story.Growing up light skinned, raised by a white mother, in a predominantly white neighborhood, attending predominantly white schools in Omaha — I didn't have access to Black history at home or at school. And now I'm raising kids who are even lighter than me. So how do I teach them who they are when I'm still piecing it together myself? I'll tell you exactly what I do — and I'll be straight with you about where I fall short.Food. Travel. Conversation. Culture. That's how I bring it to my boys. We don't just eat — we learn where the food comes from, who made it, what it means. We don't just travel — we go to understand. It's not perfect. But it's real. And being real is the only way any of us get better at this.If you're light skinned, you already know everything I'm saying is true — and you're probably laughing because you've lived it. If this is new to you? Good. Go talk to a light skinned friend. Do your research. Learn outside your lane. The inventors behind so much of what you use every day are Black… and most people have no idea. That's the problem. And this episode? This is the start of fixing it.As always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Shana McCalla live from Canada. Classified as a black female, Ms. McCalla advocates with FIND ONTARIO MISSING BOYS (http://FindOntarioMissingBoys.ca). The group provides resources and support for missing black boys and youth. Ms. McCalla has been central for more than year in bringing attention to and working on behalf of numerous black families who have suffered through their black sons being lured far from their residence to sell drugs in rural areas of Canada. We'll ask how these boys are being targeted and why the police failed to nab the people most to blame for stealing and corrupting these boys. It seems that a sophisticated community of White people operates this child smuggling project, and they've thus far been immune to prosecution. Interestingly, a highly refined component of this child trafficking tragedy is that some of the black boys are forced to sell drugs to non-white people on "reservations." We also make sure to ask Ms. McCalla about how she sustains herself while supporting traumatized black parents and children. #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
Teenage boys are going missing across Ontario and families say it's not random. In this episode, we speak with Mark Kelley, co-host of the Fifth Estate, about his investigation into a troubling pattern: young Black boys disappearing, then turning up far from home often recruited by organized crime networks to sell drugs. We also hear from Shana McCalla, founder of the Find Ontario Missing Boys committee, who began sounding the alarm about these missing boys.
On this episode of "WOKE" I sit down with Trigger Mike and New Guest, One half of the podcast Black Dad's Club Pastor Mike Will to discuss why, how and if Black Boys are in Danger
In this powerful episode of the I Am Dad Podcast, host Kenneth Braswell welcomes Chris James, a nationally recognized spoken word artist, TEDx speaker, mental health educator, and founder of Creative Connections. As a father of seven and the visionary behind the “Black Boys Better” program, Chris shares how art, advocacy, and emotional intelligence are reshaping the conversation around fatherhood and mental wellness. The two dive deep into fatherhood, the danger of emotional suppression, and how men often carry unacknowledged pain in silence. Chris opens up about becoming a father at 16, dropping his oldest son off at college while raising an 18-month-old, and how his own healing journey allows him to serve boys and men with greater empathy and truth. He and Braswell challenge the myth that men don't express emotions, arguing instead that men communicate constantly—we just need to listen differently. This episode is rich with lived experience, critical insight, and practical frameworks for healing, mentoring, and creating culturally relevant support systems for Black boys and their fathers.
Author Derrick Barnes joins us to talk about his powerful new book, The Incredibly Human Henson Blayze. In this heartfelt conversation, Barnes explores the importance of affirming Black boyhood and the inspiration behind Henson's story.

This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with Kiese Laymon and Alexis Franklin about their new picture book, City Summer, Country Summer. It's a story about an up north city kid who goes down south to visit his country cousins for the summer. In our conversation, Kiese & Alexis discuss how they were able to explore in their own ways what intimacy looks like between young Black boys. Plus, how this story puts the harmful narrative of pause no homo” on notice. And what they've been able to give school children across the country by honoring the child in all of us.

Smart Guy? Carlton Banks, Cookie, Steve Urkel, and many other smart Black Boys on TV had to sacrifice social clout and were the butt of the jokes in pop culture. I participated in a Speaker Symposium to share ideas.Videographer: @iamtheprizemedia / Zachary King
