Tyler Perry's Straw has a misleading title — because it isn't a straw that breaks the camel's back in the film about a single mom (Taraji P. Henson) driven to extremes, but an absolutely nightmarish event that is only revealed in the film's insane final act.In this episode, Aaron, Keith and Tim talk about whether the movie takes place in hell, great movie twists and why they work — from Fight Club to The Sixth Sense — and the correct way to pronounce San Pedro.We wrap up by praising Tubi's Flew'd Out and the works of fantasy author Brandon Sanderson.

Ever wondered how specializing in Black health and well-being could actually expand your reach as a therapist? In today's episode, I'm chatting with Dr. Raquel Martin, a licensed clinical psychologist who's built an impressive following while staying true to her specialty. She breaks down how she juggles being a professor, researcher, private practice therapist, podcast host, and content creator (all while raising two kids!) without burning out. Dr. Raquel talks about her no-nonsense approach to social media - treating it as a business card rather than the main event - and why saying no is crucial to your success, how to set rates without guilt, and why having a solid referral network lets you confidently stay in your lane. Plus, she explains her innovative "Burn the Cape" program that helps Black women access mental health support without increasing her clinical caseload.If you're tired of trying to be everything to everyone in your practice, Dr. Raquel's story will show you how focusing on what you truly care about can help you help more people.More about Dr. Raquel Martin:Dr. Raquel Martin is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Professor, Scientist, Podcast Host, Author, and Health Educator specializing in Black Health & Wellbeing. Topics covered in this episode:Why specializing in Black health and well-being became Dr. Raquel's focus despite being told it wasn't a "real specialty" in her doctoral program.The way Dr. Raquel uses social media as a "business card" rather than the end goal of her private practice.Dr. Raquel's success formula for creating content.The importance of saying no to opportunities that don't align with your goals.Dr. Raquel's approach to charging appropriate rates without guilt while still making her expertise accessible to those who need it.Why niching down in areas like Black health and well-being actually creates more clarity in your marketing and makes it easier to connect with ideal clients.The difference between therapy and social media content, and how to maintain clear boundaries between the two.Connect with Dr. Raquel Martin:Website: www.raquelmartinphd.comInstagram: @raquelmartinphdTikTok: @raquelmartinphdYouTube: Dr. Raquel MartinPodcast: Mind Ya MentalBurn the Cape Group for Black Women: www.raquelmartinphd.com/burnthecapeDonate to Dr. Raquel's "Burn the Cape" programConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite:

Send us a textThe BET Awards consistently delivers a cultural touchstone for Black entertainment, and this year's 24th anniversary celebration was no exception. What began as a straightforward awards show evolved into a marathon of performances, social commentary, and unforgettable moments that kept viewers glued to their screens for over five hours.The night kicked off with a nostalgic 106 & Park tribute featuring Bow Wow, transporting audiences back to BET's golden era while setting the stage for what would be a performance-dominated evening. Musical highlights ranged from Mariah Carey's stationary but vocally powerful showcase to GloRilla's evidence of genuine artistic development. Meanwhile, questions swirled around certain honors, particularly Angel Reese winning Female Athlete of the Year for the third consecutive time when accomplished figures like Coco Gauff and Clarissa Shields were overlooked despite their monumental achievements.Behind the traditional broadcast, a parallel narrative unfolded through Kai Cenat's livestream, providing unprecedented backstage access and generating viral moments—most notably his encounter with Wale that exposed generational gaps in hip-hop recognition. This integration of streaming culture demonstrated how traditional award shows must evolve to remain relevant in today's fragmented media landscape.Perhaps most powerful were the moments where entertainment and activism intersected. Doechii acceptance speech addressing immigration protests happening outside the venue reminded everyone that celebrating Black excellence doesn't happen in a vacuum—it occurs against a backdrop of ongoing social justice struggles. Her words about military forces being deployed against peaceful protesters resonated deeply, sparking important conversations about solidarity across marginalized communities.From Tyler Perry announcing "Divorced Sisters" amid an eyebrow-raising speech about his legacy to Ciara creating an awkward moment pressing Jim Jones about marriage, the night balanced celebration with cringe, triumph with controversy. In doing so, it captured the beautiful complexity of Black cultural expression in all its unfiltered glory. Whether you're a longtime viewer or new to the BET universe, this year's ceremony proved why these cultural moments remain essential viewing in understanding the pulse of Black entertainment and beyond.

Netflix's new movie "Straw," directed by Tyler Perry, has just gone number one on the platform. Jason and Shemeka Michelle discuss the film and explore how it highlights the issues facing black women in today's culture. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

From Black clubwomen to members of preservation organizations, African American women have made commemoration a central part of Black life and culture. Alexandria Russell illuminates the process of memorialization while placing African American women at the center of memorials they brought into being and others constructed in their honor. Their often undocumented and unheralded work reveals the importance of the memorializers and public memory crafters in establishing a culture of recognition. Forced to strategize with limited resources, the women operated with a resourcefulness and savvy that had to meet challenges raised by racism, gender and class discrimination, and specific regional difficulties. Yet their efforts from the 1890s to the 2020s shaped and honed practices that became indispensable to the everyday life and culture of Black Americans. Intersectional and original, Black Women Legacies: Public History Sites Seen and Unseen (Illinois University Press, 2024) explores the memorialization of African American women and its distinctive impact on physical and cultural landscapes throughout the United States. Dr. Alexandria Russell is the Executive Director of the Boston Women's Heritage Trail and a WEB Du Bois Research Institute Non-Residential Fellow at Harvard's Hutchins Center for African & African American Research.

In this powerful episode, Monica Wisdom shares a deeply personal reflection on the ways Black women have been conditioned to give our time, our energy, and our brilliance, often without receiving anything in return. From community service to corporate projects, we have been taught to equate value with self-sacrifice. But what happens when we stop, look back, and realize we were always in the background of our own story?Through storytelling rooted in lived experience, Monica challenges the charity mindset and invites listeners to explore a new possibility: sacred commerce. This is a conversation for every Black woman who has ever asked herself, "What did I do, and what did it get me?" It is also an invitation to stop surviving and begin your next chapter.

Ribeiro joins us to talk about her deeply personal book "Letters to my grandmother", which recounts her own experience as a young woman and reflects upon the socio-political context that her mother and grandmother were navigating in 20th-century Brazil.

In the "Product & Packaging Powerhouse" Megan Young Gamble interviews powerhouse guest Cynthia Johnson, Founder and CEO of Cindy J Cosmetic Labs, LLC, who breaks down the power and importance of owning your own cosmetic formulation, both for legacy and legal reasons. Cynthia shares her journey into cosmetic science, the benefits of custom formulations over private labels, and why indie beauty brands should invest in testing, consumer evaluation, and compliance from day one. She introduces her “Cosmetic Concept” planner to help brands map out their product launch journey and discusses her lab's new small-batch manufacturing option to help brands test the market without massive inventory. The conversation also touches on sustainability in formulations, how tariffs impact raw material sourcing, and why beauty entrepreneurs should take ownership seriously if they want long-term growth and credibility in the industry.Affiliate & Other Links: [Megan Young Gamble Links][AFFILIATE] Ready to crank out your content in as little as 5 minutes?

Amber Rose calls for Tory to be pardon+Andrew tate charged+Muni long VS Black Women

In 1849, the Mary Ann Shadd Cary had not yet become one of the first Black woman newspaper editors in North America. She was decades away from being admitted to Howard University's Law School and becoming the first Black woman to so enroll in the United States. She had not yet begun to lobby for women's right to vote, and she had not yet emigrated to Canada, where she would rise to prominence as a formidable abolitionist and emigrationist. Though many years would pass before she made a name for herself as a gifted writer, editor, lecturer, educator, lawyer, and suffragist, in 1849, Mary Ann Shadd Cary was already certain of one thing: “We should do more, and talk less.” Mary Ann Shadd Cary: Essential Writings of a Nineteenth-Century Black Radical Feminist (Oxford Univeristy Press, 2023) includes letters, newspaper articles, organizational records, and never-before-published handwritten notes and essay drafts that illustrate how Shadd Cary participated in major Africana philosophical debates during the nineteenth century. Racial uplift, women's rights, emigration, citizenship and economic self-determination for Black people in general and Black women in particular, were all subjects of Shadd Cary's writings and activism throughout her lifetime, shaping Black radical theory and praxis. She is one of many nineteenth-century Black women theorists whose intellectual contributions are often overlooked. By interrogating Shadd Cary's Black radical ethic of care, this book reveals the philosophies that have shaped Black women's centuries-long struggle for rights and freedom. Nneka D. Dennie is Assistant Professor of History, core faculty in Africana Studies, and affiliate faculty in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Washington and Lee University. She is also co-founder and president of the Black Women's Studies Association. Dr. Dennie's research examines Black feminism and Black intellectual thought with an emphasis on nineteenth-century African American women thinkers. Her work has been published in Palimpsest: A Journal on Women, Gender, and the Black International; Feminist Studies; Atlantic Studies: Global Currents; The Routledge Companion to Black Women's Social and Cultural Histories; The Oxford Handbook of W.E.B. Du Bois, and more. You can find the host, Sullivan Summer, online, on Instagram, and at Substack, where she and Dr. Dennie continue their conversation. Learn more about your ad choices.
