This 1993 classic blends romance and drama, following Justice (Jackson), a grieving poet, and Lucky (Tupac), a mail carrier with dreams beyond the streets, as they embark on a life-changing road trip from Los Angeles to Oakland. Alongside them are the fiery Iesha (Regina King, Watchmen, If Beale Street Could Talk) and her troubled boyfriend Chicago (Joe Torry, Tales from the Hood), whose turbulent relationship adds layers of tension. Directed by John Singleton (Boyz N The Hood, Higher Learning), the film delivers powerful themes of love, loss, and resilience, intertwined with heartfelt poetry from Maya Angelou. We react to the most iconic moments, including Justice & Lucky's First Meeting at the Hair Salon, The Road Trip Begins, The Heated Argument at the Gas Station, The Beach Scene, Chicago & Iesha's Explosive Fight, and The Emotional Finale. As an extra tribute to the film's cultural impact, we're also highlighting some of Tupac and Janet Jackson's biggest hits—Tupac's top 10 songs: California Love, Changes, Dear Mama, Hail Mary, Hit ‘Em Up, I Get Around, Keep Ya Head Up, 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted, All Eyez on Me, and Ambitionz Az a Ridah. Janet Jackson's top 10 songs: Rhythm Nation, That's The Way Love Goes, Together Again, All For You, Nasty, Escapade, Love Will Never Do (Without You), Any Time, Any Place, Control, and Again. Poetic Justice was a defining film of the ‘90s, and we're diving into all its highs, lows, and lasting impact. Follow Coy Jandreau: Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?l...

Kerry Washington joins the show to talk about her role in Tyler Perry's new film, The Six Triple Eight, which tells the inspiring true story of the incredible women of the first and only Women's Army Corps unit of color to be stationed overseas during World War II. Washington portrays the unit's captain, Charity Adams. Washington talks about her first collaboration with Perry (on his 2010 film, For Colored Girls) and explains why The Six Triple Eight was the perfect opportunity to reunite, digs into the history behind the film, and explains how she was able to connect with Adam's character through the unexpected discovery of a collection of her personal belongings. She also discusses producing the documentary, Daughters, shares how she and her Scandal co-stars cultivated their gigantic fan base through live-tweeting, and speaks candidly about how growing up as an only child (and discovering that she was a donor conceived child later in life) contributed to who she is today.

Part II of my conversation with Dena Tauriello and Rosa Avila. We explore more reasons why they were the only two women drummers working on Broadway and off-broadway prior to the shutdown of all shows in 2020. Some of the topics we discuss include:Should broadway have half of the drum chairs be filled by women? If so, why? Is total equality the goal? Are they just not interested, or are there more nefarious reasons for the lack of women playing drums?Is the lack of women drummers working professionally primarily because of sexism and discrimination, or are there other factors?Finding women subs—what problems have they had with recruitment and/or finding qualified candidates?Are women reaching out to them for advice on how to do what they do?What can we do to bring more women into the collective of drummers? Dena Tauriello began playing drums at the age of eight. For 20 years, she worked with NYC rockers Antigone Rising who toured relentlessly, made numerous TV appearances, and served as cultural ambassadors to Israel, Palestine, and Vietnam. She's worked with Rob Thomas (from Matchbox 20) as a member of his “RT Quartet.”She has been featured in Modern Drummer, Drum! and Sticks ‘n' Skins, a photography book about the drumming community. Just over two years ago, Dena made the switch to Broadway after landing the chair for Head Over Heels featuring the music of the Go-Gos. Since then, she has also held the chair for Kristin Chenoweth's For the Girls, Magic Mike and Galileo (reading) and was a sub at The Cher Show. Before the shutdown, she held the chair for the off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors and was set to sub at Six on Broadway. Rosa Avila was born in Germany and spent her childhood in Mexico and Austria. She began playing drums at age 16 and completed her education at Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, California. When she graduated in 1991, Rosa was presented with the Outstanding Student of the Year award and received the Human Relations Award.Rosa performed with legends like Ann Margret, Debby Boone, The Lennon Sisters, Shari Lewis, Elkie Brooks, Glen Campbell, and Petula Clark. In 1992, she began her association with Andy Williams, with whom she performed until 2009. In 2018, Rosa had the pleasure of holding the drum chair at Summer-The Donna Summer Musical on Broadway, and in 2019 she played on four shows: Chick Flick, Broadway Bounty Hunter, Love in Hate Nation, and For Colored Girls at the public theater.Don't forget to subscribe to my podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, or wherever you get your podcasts.Clayton Craddock is an independent thinker, father of two beautiful children in New York City.

Today's podcast takes up the underlying reasons why there are so few women drummers working on Broadway musicals. I spoke to two amazing drummers, Dena Tauriello and Rosa Avila, to find out why they were the only two women drummers working on Broadway and off-broadway prior to the shutdown of all shows last year. Some of the topics we discuss include:Their thoughts as to why there weren't many female drummers during their formative years.Did they have women drum teachers, and if not, why was that the case?Should broadway have half of the drum chairs be filled by women? If so, why? Is total equality the goal? What about other groups of people? Should there be a proportional representation of other groups? (black, Asian, Latino, gay/lesbian, etc.) Is the lack of women drummers working professionally primarily because of sexism and discrimination, or are there other factors?What are some of the blatant sexist encounters they've experienced over the years and how were they affected?Dena Tauriello began playing drums at the age of eight. For 20 years, she worked with NYC rockers Antigone Rising who toured relentlessly, made numerous TV appearances, and served as cultural ambassadors to Israel, Palestine, and Vietnam. She's worked with Rob Thomas (from Matchbox 20) as a member of his “RT Quartet.”She has been featured in Modern Drummer, Drum! and Sticks ‘n' Skins, a photography book about the drumming community. Just over two years ago, Dena made the switch to Broadway after landing the chair for Head Over Heels featuring the music of the Go-Gos. Since then, she has also held the chair for Kristin Chenoweth's For the Girls, Magic Mike and Galileo (reading) and was a sub at The Cher Show. Before the shutdown, she held the chair for the off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors and was set to sub at Six on Broadway. Rosa Avila was born in Germany and spent her childhood in Mexico and Austria. She began playing drums at age 16 and completed her education at Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, California. When she graduated in 1991, Rosa was presented with the Outstanding Student of the Year award and received the Human Relations Award.Rosa performed with legends like Ann Margret, Debby Boone, The Lennon Sisters, Shari Lewis, Elkie Brooks, Glen Campbell, and Petula Clark. In 1992, she began her association with Andy Williams, with whom she performed until 2009. In 2018, Rosa had the pleasure of holding the drum chair at Summer-The Donna Summer Musical on Broadway, and in 2019 she played on four shows: Chick Flick, Broadway Bounty Hunter, Love in Hate Nation, and For Colored Girls at the public theater.Don't forget to subscribe to my podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is the first episode on a new series called "Black on Black" - an elevation of the voices of black women about topics concerning black women. Too often we hear from people outside of the community defining and commenting on black women. For the first episode in the series, I am going to talk about what it means to me to be a black woman. I've always intended for CROWNED to be a space for women about the many crowns women wear- but let us not forget, I am a BLACK woman. Being black is the most prominent part of my identity and so I'm entering the room with my blackness first. Mentioned in the episode: Books by Kennedy Ryan: https://kennedyryanwrites.com/ For Colored Girls... by Ntozake Shange CROWNED is a Women's Empowerment platform for the modern woman who wears ALL the hats and does ALL the things! Whether you're a BOSS Queen, and Queen Mom, or a Queen in the making, remember- you're ROYALTY and even Queens need a break! This is where spirituality meets self-care.
