2.19.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Black Family Fights Eminent Domain. Hegseth Hosts Racist Pastor. Roy Cooper Senate Bid The Descendants of slaves are fighting an attempt to use eminent domain to carve a spur through one of Georgia's largest Black‑owned farms.

She explains how The Black Homeschools has evolved into a resource hub offering curriculum guidance, coaching, enrichment classes, NCAA athletics support, and college preparation, all rooted in community and cultural connection. The conversation also explores the broader rise in Black homeschooling, shifting perceptions of homeschooling as a viable and respected educational path, and Kalecia's ambitious vision for the future—including expansion.

Season 9 continues with another powerful chapter in the Social Media & You series as Izzy Baker sits down with Anthony Dodson, also known as Mr. Six Ways, for a deeply layered conversation about family, legacy, rebranding, and mental health. Recorded during the holiday season, this episode explores how social media has reshaped the meaning of family — sometimes strengthening blood ties, and other times creating chosen communities that feel just as real.Anthony opens up about building a business alongside his daughter and the often unseen tension of balancing fatherhood with entrepreneurship. Together, he and Izzy unpack the emotional weight of legacy, generational wealth, and the responsibility of not passing down unresolved trauma. The conversation challenges the idea that financial success alone defines legacy, emphasizing instead the importance of healing generational wounds, protecting a child's identity, and prioritizing mental health over optics.A central theme of the episode is rebranding — not just online, but internally. Anthony speaks candidly about stepping back from constant social media engagement, losing followers during his transition, and shifting his focus from surface-level financial literacy to character development, burnout recovery, and emotional health. Izzy connects this to his own journey of evolving professionally and creatively, highlighting how rebrands often feel uncomfortable before they feel aligned.The discussion also confronts difficult but necessary topics, including suicidal ideation, survivor's remorse, and the pressure Black men face to remain strong while carrying inherited burdens. Anthony shares how social media can distort self-worth, amplify comparison, and drain mental health, while also acknowledging its potential as a tool for education, community building, and legacy work when used intentionally.As the episode closes, the two reflect on family dynamics, holiday triggers, and what it truly means to leave something better behind — not just money, but memories, emotional safety, and freedom. This episode is for anyone navigating change, questioning their online identity, rebuilding after burnout, or trying to build a future that heals rather than repeats the past.Listen. Reflect. And consider what legacy you're actively rewriting.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

It's history, lived experience, and game from the barbershop to the block:How interstate highways were strategically dropped through thriving Black communitiesProjects, FHA loans, redlining, and displacement that stole Black wealth and stabilityThe shift from Black teachers, Black schools, Black leadership… to busing and cultural confusionHow crack, trades disappearing, and Clinton/Biden crime bills fed mass incarcerationWhy taking away parents' right to discipline destroyed respect, focus, and consequencesHow every new “movement” copies Black struggle but never protects Black peopleThe truth about LeBron, Black athletes with Black wives, and why the media really hates themWhat we MUST do now: reading to our kids, rebuilding Black family structure, re-teaching culture, history, and emotional toughnessThis episode is for Black people who want to understand how we got here and how we fix it — and for anybody from other races who actually wants to listen instead of project.

What's the case for college these days? For much of the last fifty years, research very clearly suggested that college was the key to unlock the American Dream. A college degree not only ensured a route to a stable career but was also strongly correlated with future financial well-being. Events of recent years, along with the affordability challenges, seem to have stood that conventional wisdom on its head.rnrnAnd yet, more than 15 million students are enrolled in undergraduate programs at close to 4,000 institutions. And despite the headlines about name-brand private colleges and universities, it's important to remember that more than 70% of those students are at public institutions--community colleges and state schools that prioritize affordability alongside educational quality.rnrnTo make the case for college in these turbulent times, we'll hear from the President of one of the more affordable higher education institutions in Northeast Ohio, the chief executive of the regional organization that supports more than 42,000 individuals every year, and the best-selling author of The Black Family's Guide to College Admissions: A Conversation about Education, Parenting, and Race.

In this episode, Charles gets real about solo parenting, finding work-life balance, and building the village it takes to do it all. He reminds us that joy and grief can live in the same house - and that showing up for your kids and your purpose is a powerful act of love and legacy.Go to 4Kira4Moms.com to get involved and advocate for better maternal health outcomes.________________________ We love getting Listener Letters!

http://Patreon.com/thebpdshow“Thoughts and Prayers of Officials Mean Nothing to God Without Action.” In the wake of the Annunciation Catholic School tragedy in Minneapolis, this sermon confronts the hypocrisy of politicians who offer “thoughts and prayers” while refusing to act against gun violence. Drawing on Isaiah, James, Micah, Amos, and more, Pastor Ben exposes how God rejects empty prayers, condemns faith without works, and holds leaders accountable for blood on their hands. This is a biblical exegesis on gun violence, political idolatry, and the NRA's grip on America. After the sermon, stay tuned for powerful commentary and analysis from the Black Family Channel family: DJ Xclusive, Rebecca Azor, Clickbaity Political Thirsttrap, Georgia Fort, Attorney Augustus Corbett, Dr. Carl Mack, and Pastors Jada and Ben.

Charleston White discusses the crack epidemic's devastating impact on Black America. He explores how survival and greed drove drug trade, the long-term effects on generations, and the importance of personal responsibility and community connection to heal and rebuild broken families and neighborhoods.

On this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, the studio dives into four headline-grabbing stories. “American Idol” winner Jamal Roberts turned down a key to the city in Laurel, Mississippi, citing death threats linked to resentment in the town—he ultimately wants to focus on his music, not the spotlight. Shifting to cultural trends, the crew noticed during the “What’s Trending” segment that Black family reunions are increasingly fading from tradition, a conversation prompted by the declining attendance and discussions around their deep-rooted significance. Finally, the show addresses Lauryn Hill’s famously late Essence Fest set—delayed until 2:30 a.m. and ending to a near-empty stadium. Organizers have since defended her, stating that the delay stemmed from event scheduling issues, not the artist herself.
