Dr Boyce Watkins breaks down black family wealth and other variables that are connected
In this powerful episode, Trina Greene speaks with Seven, a Black queer young adult and creative storyteller. Together, they reflect on the urgency of storytelling and family affirmation in a time marked by rising anti-queer legislation. As external spaces become more threatening, they explore how homes can become sanctuaries of resistance, healing, and freedom.Listen to honest reflections on authenticity, identity, chosen family, and why stories at home are as powerful as protest banners in protecting youth. This conversation—part activism, part art, entirely healing—challenges us to imagine what radical care looks like when systems fail us. Seven is a born and raised Los Angeles native, and the only openly queer child amongst her family. A visual artist who loves to draw, animate, sculpt but is partial to painting. Outside of art, Seven is passionate about activism. When they are not creating or aiding the community, they are likely reading a book, watching movies or connecting with nature.Seven, a born and raised Los Angeles native and the only openly queer child amongst her family.

In this episode of Together Real Bad, we dive deep into how generational communication habits in Black families impact our adult relationships—both romantic and platonic. Beautifulll and Ace share stories from their childhood, how they were raised to handle (or avoid) conflict, and what it's like navigating communication with family as out, queer Black women. From unspoken tensions and "what happens in this house stays in this house" mindsets to rebuilding sibling relationships and confronting parental silence, this conversation is raw, vulnerable, and very necessary. We also talk: Playing contact flag football in our 40s
Black youth are under pressure—and the mental health cost is rising. From the relentless grip of social media to the weight of racial trauma and cultural stigma, many of our children are suffering in silence. In this powerful BACKtalk episode, we sit down with Dr. Cedric X. Bryant, CEO of the American Council on Exercise and a leading expert in behavior-change science, to unpack the real stressors Black children face today—and what parents can do right now to help.We talk about:How social media uniquely affects Black youthSigns your child may be silently strugglingBreaking generational cycles of mental health stigmaEasy lifestyle changes that boost emotional wellnessWhy sleep, movement, and open conversations are criticalIf you've ever wondered how to support your child's mental well-being better—or just want to know what to watch for—this is the conversation every Black parent needs to hear.

Alafia, fam! “Some circles can't be saved. But new ones can be born.” In this third episode of the Black Healing Summer session, Ama-Robin invites you to slow down and breathe as she takes you on a journey through an insightful folk tale. You'll hear about an African village's sacred circle disrupted by an outsider's influence, leading to important lessons about the strength--and fragility--of our own sacred spaces. Ama-Robin draws a powerful connection to our present realities, shedding light on the importance of protecting our circles and knowing when it's time to rebuild. Stick around for the 'Beyond the Story' segment, where you'll dive deeper into these themes and reflect on your own sacred spaces and boundaries. Remember, sometimes it's okay to walk away to protect your peace. “This isn't just a story. It's a mirror—and a warning.”✨
Dr. Karida Brown discusses historic inequities in the education of Black children, and her new book, 'The Battle for the Black Mind." The book is a historical account of a century of systematic efforts to control what Black children are taught and how they are educated. It reminds readers that Black educators and families built private schools and institutions to resist those efforts. Brown says they left behind a blueprint for today. During our conversation, she shares her spiritual connection to ancestors and what it means to express humanity and empathy during these tumultuous times. She is a cultural sociologist, an Emory University professor of sociology, and an oral historian who served on The Obama Presidency Oral History Project. Brown has earned recognition from such institutions as the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and last year, she received an NAACP Image Award for “The New Brownies Book: A Love Letter to Black Families,” an anthology that she co-authored with her husband, artist Charly Palmer. #podcast #godislove #educational #justice #blackhistory #emory #ancestors #spirituality #book #books

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.

This week the board of Prosper Portland votes to finalize a settlement for more than 20 people whose homes and businesses were destroyed in the name of urban renewal from the 1950s through the ’70s. The group of Black Portlanders fought for years to get to this point, and eventually filed a federal lawsuit arguing that the city of Portland, Emanuel Legacy Medical Center and Prosper Portland conspired to destroy a previously thriving Black neighborhood. The original financial settlement proposed to the Portland city council was $2 million. After testimony from a dozen community members recently, all 12 Portland city councilors voted to increase the amount to $8.5 million. As part of the settlement, the lawsuit will be dismissed, and the descendants will get financial and land retribution, in addition to other terms. We hear from plaintiffs Donna Marshall and Byrd, who led the research effort that culminated in this settlement, and from their lawyer Ed Johnson.
We recently put out a listener survey and the results are in...y'all want more from the Mamas!

In this episode of Black History Year, host Darren sits down with cultural and legal historian Martha S. Jones to discuss how deep research and personal discoveries can help recover lost Black family histories–and why remembering is one of the most powerful ways to resist erasure, defy the archives that tried to forget us, and reclaim our stolen legacies. To learn more about her family's story, Martha S. Jones's “The Trouble of Color: An American Family Memoir” is available in bookstores everywhere.
