Steve Lawrence and Alexandra MacLean are the stars and co-creators of the Bell Fibe series “0-60 Driving Academy.” They speak to guest host Talia Schlanger about creating a show based on Steve's real-life experiences running a driving school, and why they wanted to see a Black Nova Scotian family on the screen.

Bri Woodson, descendant of Carter G. Woodson (also known as The Father of Black History), sat down with Danielle to discuss how we can each show up in this moment, as Black history is getting erased, racism is on the rise, and fear seems to be a main tactic of this administration. Bri talks about the intersection between racism and mental health, and how we need to change our understanding and treatment of that which is so deeply embedded in the soul of this country. Is it possible that racism changes the makeup of DNA and other physical aspects of human's genetic makeup? Will it even be possible to convince people, in this divisive climate, that racism is something we need to discuss and dismantle on such a more profound level? Bri also discusses how White women, and especially, parents, need to be that much more cognizant of how we are speaking to our kids, and how we are allowing others to speak and behave, just because they are "family." Why is it so important that we stop giving our friends and family a "pass" because they are people in our lives about whom we care? Additionally, she breaks down the real history and celebration behind Juneteenth, and why it is such an important aspects of Black history. This episode is filled with the truth, harsh realizations, and strategies to be better humans who show up for those in need right now, that so many of us need to hear and utilize.Follow Bri at The Controversial Blonde on Instagram and TikTok.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. In this Episode, Emily chats with "The Button Man", Harlem artist Beau McCall, an artist renowned for his unique use of buttons in wearable and visual art. McCall's work is featured in prominent collections such as New York's Museum of Arts and Design and London's Victoria and Albert Museum. McCall recounts his upbringing in Philadelphia, his move to Harlem, and his early inspirations. He explains how his fascination with buttons began with his mother's collection and grew through various craft classes. McCall shares memories of his artistic evolution, his experiences with the Harlem community, and the personal significance of his work, including tributes to friends lost to AIDS. The episode concludes with McCall's advice to aspiring artists and a nod to his ongoing support from his mother.About Artist Beau McCall :Drawing inspiration from the vast button collection of his mother and family, Beau McCall creates wearable and visual art by applying clothing buttons onto mostly upcycled fabrics, materials, and objects. With deliberate focus the buttons are arranged to stimulate one's curiosity and imagination, while simultaneously drawing attention to the unique history of buttons. Thereby McCall's work generates a discussion surrounding many topics such as pop culture and social justice.McCall began his professional career in Harlem in the 1980s after arriving from his native, Philadelphia with nothing more than a few hundred dollars, a duffel bag, and buttons. Circa 1988 he made his critically acclaimed wearable art debut at The Harlem Institute of Fashion (HIF) show for HARLEM WEEK. McCall went on to become an established force within HIF's Black Fashion Museum collective presenting at their shows consecutively through circa 1995, as well being featured in their museum exhibitions and prestigious events. During this time, McCall's visually captivating work was featured in the fashion bible Women's Wear Daily, on the PBS version of George C. Wolfe's The Colored Museum (1991), and in the award-winning film Quartier Mozart (1992), directed by Jean-Pierre Bekolo. The film won prizes at film festivals in Cannes, Locarno, and Montreal and was nominated, in 1993, for a British Film Institute award.McCall eventually applied his mastery of the button to visual art. Since then, he's been proclaimed by American Craft magazine as “The Button Man.” His visual and wearable art has been included in exhibitions at The Museum at FIT, Nordstrom, the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Houston Museum of African American Culture, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Stax Museum of American Soul Music, the Langston Hughes House in partnership with the inaugural Columbia University Wallach Art Gallery Uptown triennial and StoryCorps, and Rush Arts Gallery. McCall's work is held in the permanent collection of public institutions and by private individuals including the Museum of Arts and Design (New York), Philadelphia Museum of Art (Philadelphia), Victoria and Albert Museum (London), The Museum at FIT (New York), Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (New York), Amistad Research Center (New Orleans), The Museum of Modern Art Library (New York), Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art (New York), Stonewall National Museum & Archives (Fort Lauderdale), and The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Library (San Francisco), Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Residence, Debbie Harry of Blondie, Jeffrey Gibson, and Cristina Grajales. McCall has also been commissioned by the Museum of Arts and Design, Columbia University, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. And his wearable art can be found in gift shops including the Newark Museum of Art. McCall has been featured in the NY Times, Associated Press, NPR, L.A. Times, and more. In addition, he has served as a teaching artist at the Newark Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, and the Harlem Arts Alliance. McCall has also created a wearable art line called, Triple T-shirts. For these pieces, he upcycles three T-shirts by combining them into one flowing garment that can be worn in six different ways. Each style—from poncho to hoodie to shawl and beyond—brings dynamic versatility to traditional T-shirts. The shirts are curated to form a narrative about various socially-conscious and lighthearted themes.In 2021, McCall released his debut artists' book titled, REWIND: MEMORIES ON REPEAT, commissioned and published by SHINE Portrait Studio@ Express Newark, Rutgers University-Newark. The book honors the legacy of ten of McCall's deceased friends through collages composed of archival photos and images from his button artwork. The collages capture the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, from Philadelphia to New York, during the LGBTQ+ rights movement, the height of disco music and the AIDS crisis.In 2024, McCall debuted his first-ever retrospective and exhibition catalog titled, Beau McCall: Buttons On! at Fuller Craft Museum. The exhibition is currently on a nationwide tour.Through his work, McCall remains committed to channeling and contributing to the universal cultural legacy one button at a time.Visit Beau's Website:  BeauMcCall.ComFollow Beau on Instagram: @Beau_McCallFor more on Beau's exhibit "Buttons On!"

Send us a textAmerica's power dynamics are laid bare in this unflinching examination of who gets regulated and who gets to break the rules. From the glittering Met Gala runway to polluted neighborhoods in Memphis, we connect seemingly disparate cultural moments to reveal a consistent pattern of privilege and control.The episode opens with a sharp critique of the Met Gala's first Black-themed event centered around dandyism. While celebrities like Teanna Taylor, Coleman Domingo and Janelle Monáe delivered stunning interpretations, we question why Black women were largely confined to traditionally masculine silhouettes rather than celebrating the full spectrum of Black feminine aesthetics. This exploration of cultural representation sets the stage for more serious discussions about power imbalances.Meanwhile, celebrities like Future and Trippie Redd face ruthless critique for their appearances and behavior, revealing our complicated relationship with Black male image and identity.The conversation takes a powerful turn when examining a viral incident where a white woman called a Black child a racial slur at a park. "Why don't white men say these words to our faces?" becomes a pointed challenge that exposes how racism often operates through proxies while avoiding direct confrontation and consequences. Perhaps most damning is our analysis of Trump's selective regulation policies. After meeting with Nick Saban, Trump quickly moved to regulate college athletes' NIL deals, potentially limiting Black students' earning potential. Yet simultaneously, Elon Musk's company operates unpermitted methane turbines in a predominantly Black Memphis neighborhood with seemingly no consequences. This stark contrast crystallizes America's inconsistent approach to government oversight depending on who benefits and who suffers.Whether examining academic cheating through AI, celebrity culture, or marriage economics, the episode repeatedly returns to one troubling question: why do we only seem interested in controlling Black success while letting corporations and the wealthy operate under different rules? Join us for an eye-opening conversation that will challenge your understanding of how power operates in America today.

Increasing strain on structural formations (government, legal, economic, cultural) and inflection points that will be resolved earlier in the year (like these SCOTUS decisions) will reveal opportunities for us to seize.
