One of the least talked about goals of attending college is to leave having built meaningful relationships with a new group of folks that you can now call family; your new play-cousins. You spend years together figuring out your courses, your career goals, and more importantly, who you are as a person. In doing so, you get to take part in life changing experiences that have the potential to mold you into your most authentic self, and solidify who you want to be in the world around you. Yet, in order for this to happen, your campus has to intentionally provide space for you to experiment, explore, fail, and succeed safely with the support of your peers, teachers, and administrators. We recognize that this may look differently depending on the environment you're in, but nevertheless, we all want the vibe of having felt included, encouraged, and inspired. This episode, we'll hear directly from Stillman College junior, Hanna Fields, about what she needs from her institution in order to perceive her campus culture as equitable and inclusive, and senior administrators, Darryl Ann Lai Fang and Chanel L. Fort, on what we can be doing to instill this sense of family and protect our most vulnerable. Let's meet our guests: Hannah Fields - She's a 21-year-old Junior at Stillman College. She recently became a Journalism and English major. So far in her college career, she has been a part of the English Honors Society-Sigma Tau Delta, Harte Honors, and many other academic opportunities/organizations. Outside of school, Hannah reads, writes, and spends time with her friends and family (over the phone). Facebook: Hannah Fields Chanel L. Fort - With 21 years of experience, Fort has made a career in designing, implementing, and evaluating sustainable learning and development, workforce education, and change management programs for private, non-profit, government, and higher education entities. Fort serves as Director of Academic Innovation at Stillman College, a historically Black college and university (HBCU) located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Fort leads as Creator and Learning Strategist of Fortified Learning Solutions, designing and implementing equitable strategies for change, and serves as a National Designer in Residence for Education Design Lab reimagining the role of higher education to close racial and economic opportunity gaps.

A native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Fort earned a B.S. in Health Sciences and an M.S. in Human Services Administration.

Scottie Beam joined us to discuss how she's utilized social media to catapult her #ScottieFeedback to the next level, as well as her plans to push music culture forward. Suzanne Biello, who does PR and management for some of your favorites on the rise, also talked about how hip hop inspired her to lead a successful career. Finally, we had Block, who talked to us about his hip-pop sound, and the next moves he's making for his career.

This week, we brought back Tatyana Jenene for a special "release" episode, as we had some things we just needed to get off of our chests. We discuss some of our favorite hip hop topics, what went down at the R&B Only party, Aaliyah's legacy 15 years after her tragic death, and much more.

This week, we invited up some very special guests, and close friends of ours, Gia Peppers and Tatyana Jenene, for our female voices in hip hop episode. Most of you may recognize Gia from her extensive journalism work in the industry from being an on-air coordinator for BET, Essence, and the Washington Wizards, as well as the co-editor of BlameEbro.com. The ever-so-clever Tatyana joined us to talk about her unique interview approach as a junior editor of BlameBro.com, contributing for TheRapFest over the last year, and hosting her own music podcast, House of Music.

The show WAS PACKED this week, featuring some amazing industry creatives. ThatsEnuff.com Content Manager, Unique Chapman, SOB's Photographer, DLo and many more were in attendance. As "You Can't Lie" got raunchy (as usual,)the group got more serious later on, talking about industry woes and personal aspirations!

This week, we invited producer Mike Medium to discuss his rise to the top of the hip hop DJ game, as well as Dani Howe of The STASHED to talk about how she got into writing for one of the fastest rising outlets in the industry. Later in the show, we get a little raunchy before we dive into our main topic: disappointments in hip hop.

Robin J and Mouse Jones are back in the studio with us for part 2 of the Play Cousins podcast's second episode. This week, we dive into a slew of different topics from Twitter's dating logic, different "types" of women, why Mouse condones fat-shaming, and much more. Take a listen and let us know how you feel about this week's episode.

On part one of this two-part second episode, we are joined by the amazingly hard-working Robin J to discuss her music industry background, which includes stories of being mentored by Chris Lighty, and building her Takeovah brand for indie artists. Mouse Jones also stopped by, who is vastly becoming the face of personalities to make his moves around New York City. We even get into a heated discussion about pre-Rakim rap, Joe Budden vs. Drake, and much more. Stay tuned for part 2!

Our first episode! Bear with us. This week, we had sneaker connoisseur @kickitwitdd as a guest host to talk about being part of the sneaker culture, empowering females in the game, and her plans for the future. We also had the incredible Ieasha Tiffany slide through to discuss #BlackLivesMatter, her 'Folk' group events, and what can be done to help racial tensions in this country.
