Podcasts about rastafarian

As America approaches its 250th birthday, we're asking a simple question: Is this what the Founders wanted? Christian nationalists insist the United States was established as a Christian nation, but what did the men who actually wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution believe? Frank and Dan separate historical fact from modern mythology while exploring whether the secular government envisioned by the Founders has drifted from its original course. Also this week: a Mormon family sues a California school district over LGBTQ-inclusive lessons, the Supreme Court leaves a Rastafarian prisoner without a remedy after guards shaved his dreadlocks, Seattle's Pride World Cup match pits Iran against Egypt, reports of rising anti-Christian violence in Israel raise uncomfortable questions, Texas votes to require Bible stories in its public-school curriculum, and a gay Tennessee student reaches a settlement after being punished by her Christian school for coming out.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that federal law protecting prisoners' religious exercise does not extend to a lawsuit brought by an incarcerated Rastafarian man who sought damages after prison officials forcibly shaved his head. The man, Damon Landor, sued both the Louisiana Department of Corrections and several of its officers individually under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), which defines the religious rights of people held in institutions that receive federal funding. However, the Court's majority found that the law does not apply to the prison officials named in the suit, as they had not entered into a formal agreement with the federal government.

6.23.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: SCOTUS Rejects Black Rastafarian. Voting Rights Purge Blocked. Police Kill 1-Year-Old_ For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (724) 264-8281 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/roland *Paid Partnership*_ The Supreme Court rules 6-3 against a Black Rastafarian man in Louisiana who had sued prison officials after they forcibly shaved off his dreadlocks, in what he said was a clear violation of his religious rights. Elie Mystal joins us to break down the latest from the high court. The MAGA Attack on voting rights faces a crucial setback as a federal judge intervenes to stop states from using software developed by immigration enforcement to review their voter rolls, which voting rights groups say would have resulted in unconstitutional voter purges. The family of Kohen Wiley, the one-year-old black boy shot and killed by police in a Walmart parking lot in Mississippi has announced funeral services will be held this coming weekend. The announcement comes as civil rights attorney Ben Crump demands video evidence in the case and has ordered an independent autopsy of the boy. The Senate passed a new, bi-partisan housing bill which makes it easier to construct new homes and helps ensure they can be purchased by families, not corporations. With the legislation now headed to the House of Representatives, the president of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers will join us to analyze what impact these measures could have for black homeowners nationwide. In Ohio, a police officer has been placed on leave after bystander and body camera video show him kneeling on top of a 15-year-old girl following an altercation at a Juneteenth Festival last weekend. We'll show you that video and let you decide for yourself. And in the latest installment of Crazy Ass White People -- a black man and his family tried to go fishing in Florida last weekend, only to have a white couple show up, demand they move and then start calling them the n-word. Wait until you see this video. Black Star Network Partner: ChapterChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

The Justices unanimously agree that pot consumption alone isn't enough to justify a loss of Second Amendment rights, though they offer few hints about harder cases involving harder drugs. Plus, will Congress reinforce religious liberty, after a 6-3 ruling against a Rastafarian whose head was shaved by prison guards? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A Fox News article argues that some sports media outlets are trying to decide which American fans are allowed to cheer for Team USA at the World Cup. Is there a liberal bias in sports media, or is this just another example of every cultural moment getting dragged into politics? When you see World Cup coverage, do you think the media is celebrating America, judging America, or just looking for the easiest narrative? The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that a former Rastafarian inmate cannot sue individual state prison officials for money damages after they forcibly shaved off his knee-length dreadlocks.

Amartey Golding makes chainmail sculptures that are seductive, threatening, funny, and deeply unsettling all at once. And in this conversation, he explains why discomfort might be one of the most important tools an artist has. Raised between London, Ghana, Rastafarian culture, council estates, and rural England, Amartey speaks with rare honesty about growing up between identities and how that tension became the emotional engine of his work. In this conversation, you'll hear how he learned to trust discomfort as part of his creative language, why audience feedback became essential to sharpening his voice, and how he creates installations that work not just intellectually, but viscerally — through sound, light, atmosphere, scale, and the body itself. We talk about the emotional labour behind ambitious projects, the crash that can come after making large-scale work, and why sustainability, family life, and building a nourishing environment now matter as much to him as artistic ambition. But perhaps most importantly, this episode offers a powerful lesson in how to develop your own artistic voice: not by trying to become someone else, but by listening more deeply to the contradictions, histories, and instincts already living inside you. This one is rich, layered, funny, tender, and deeply human. I can't wait for you to hear it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Belonging is not always about finding where we fit, but about reshaping inherited stories until they can accommodate more of who we are. Sometimes our work becomes a way of making room for identities that existing symbols struggle to contain. There are moments in a creative life when continuing to succeed at one thing becomes a barrier to discovering another. Growth often asks us to leave behind what is proven, visible and commercially rewarded. We romanticise the artist who creates through suffering. But, when people have enough security to be curious, playful, and fully present, they gain access to forms of imagination that survival alone cannot sustain. BEST MOMENTS “Extraordinary work rarely comes from pretending to have everything figured out. It comes from staying in relationship with the complexity. Staying curious enough to keep listening to your own voice as it shifts and evolves.” “For me, it's all about the visceral... it's all about the belly, making stuff from the belly.” EPISODE RESOURCES http://amarteygolding.com/ https://www.instagram.com/amarteygolding HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Send us Fan MailIn one of the most unexpectedly profound conversations in the Spiritually Inspired Show's history, Gregory Mannarino — the Robin Hood of Wall Street, financial analyst, and physician assistant turned YouTube truth-teller — strips away the markets and the charts to reveal the deeply spiritual architecture beneath everything he does. From a near-death experience at age six that opened his ability to see auras, through decades of searching across every religious and spiritual tradition including "very dark places," to his recent and publicly announced journey into the Rasta tradition — rooted not in dogma but in the radical simplicity of a personal relationship with God, oneness with creation, and rejection of the Babylon system — Greg delivers a conversation that is simultaneously a spiritual autobiography, a warning about a coming credit collapse that will stop all transactions globally, and an urgent call for communities to root in love, faith, and each other rather than guns, gold, or any political saviour.Support the show

Ziggy Marley stops by Club Random to talk to Bill Maher about his new album, Brightside. The conversation drifts—from music and life in Jamaica to Rastafarian beliefs, sacred herb, and why Ziggy keeps his cannabis use private and spiritual, not commercial. Along the way, they get into food, health, and a shared distrust of what we consume. Ziggy reflects on growing up as Bob Marley's son, navigating identity, and learning to set boundaries after watching a life that was open to everyone. They touch on cross-cultural relationships, religion, and the idea that most labels don't hold up under real human connection. Check out Brightside when it drops April 18—and catch him on tour.

Back in the early 90s, while attending college in London, Ontario, Canada, my buddy Aaron and I'd made the drive back and forth to Toronto on a regular basis, and it was on these numerous rides that we'd stack the pockets with our cassettes - road trip soundtracks, and one of our favourites was Two Seven's Clash by Culture. Fire up the engine, insert the tape and kick off with See Them A Come, one of my all-time favourite cuts, and we'd be jacked up and ready to roll. During college, Aaron, I, and another buddy, Marcus, journeyed to Toronto to catch Culture at The Great Hall - to say this was a magical musical night would be doing it a disservice. We had balcony seats right above the stage, so we could catch everything up close. Seeing Hill with the backup singers, lock-step groove, sweet harmonies - it was an out-of-body experience, that could have been down to the little spliff that we'd partaken in beforehand, but whatever the reason, this concert, the countless hours of being on the road have left music of Culture indelibly marked in my musical consciousness. So today I shine the musical spotlight back to the early years of Culture in the mix Culture: Roots Reggae's Most Righteous Voice Jamaica in the mid-70s was a pressure cooker. Political violence, poverty, and a deep spiritual hunger for something beyond the immediate reality of Kingston's yards and tenements all found a voice in roots reggae, and few groups channelled that voice more purely than Culture. The group came together in 1976, initially calling themselves the African Disciples: Joseph Hill on lead vocals, his cousin Albert “Ralph” Walker, and Roy “Kenneth” Dayes on harmonies. Hill had already put in his time as a percussionist with the Soul Defenders, the house band at the legendary Studio One, and had been working the sound system circuit for years before stepping out front. He knew the machinery of Jamaican music from the inside. They rebranded as Culture, found their producers in Joe Gibbs and engineer Errol Thompson, and cut a run of singles that crackled with urgency, among them “Two Sevens Clash.” The song predicted apocalyptic consequences for 7 July 1977. When that date arrived, large numbers of Jamaicans reportedly stayed home. Shops closed. People waited. The record had crossed the line from music into prophecy. Those singles became the backbone of their 1977 debut album, also titled Two Sevens Clash — dense with Rastafarian theology, political fury, and some of the tightest three-part harmonies in reggae. Rolling Stone would later name it one of the 50 all-time coolest records ever made, the only reggae album to make that list. Not a bad debut. After the Gibbs sessions, Culture moved to producer Sonia Pottinger's High Note label, one of the very few labels run by women in Jamaican music at the time. She brought in the best session players available: Robbie Shakespeare and Sly Dunbar in the rhythm section, Ansel Collins on keys, Cedric Brooks on horns, and percussionist Sticky. The result was a run of records that still holds up: Harder Than the Rest (1978), Cumbolo (1979), and International Herb (1979). Three albums in roughly two years, each one focused and fully realised. The UK connection proved crucial. Two Sevens Clash had been finding its way into the hands of British punk fans as much as reggae fans, largely through John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show, and it charted at number 60 on the UK Albums Chart in April 1978. Virgin Records signed the group to its Front Line imprint, giving Culture international distribution just as their output was peaking. At the time of the first Rolling Stone Record Guide, Culture was the only act in any genre whose entire catalogue received five-star reviews across the board. The original lineup dissolved in 1981, but reunited in 1986 and returned with two strong albums rather than coasting on reputation. The 1990s brought further records on Shanachie and Ras Records, often with Sly and Robbie back in the rhythm section. Joseph Hill died in August 2006 while on tour in Europe, collapsing mid-performance. What happened next became part of the Culture story in its own right. His son Kenyatta stepped up and completed the remaining nineteen shows of the tour. Critics and fans were stunned. The voices were eerily similar, the conviction just as real. The phrase that circulated afterwards said it plainly: magic, not tragic. Kenyatta has led the group ever since, alongside original founding member Albert Walker. Fifty years on, Two Sevens Clash still sounds like a warning.

Tucked between the shimmering waters of the Caribbean Sea, the twin-island federation of St. Kitts and Nevis has long been a well-kept secret among discerning travelers. Just two miles apart, these islands offer an extraordinary blend of volcanic peaks, colonial history, pristine beaches, and an intimacy that larger Caribbean destinations simply cannot replicate. Yet for years, one critical ingredient was missing: a tour operator capable of transforming these raw ingredients into truly unforgettable luxury experiences. Enter Nevis Sun Tours — and its visionary founder, Greg Phillip.Today, Nevis Sun Tours is not just a tour company. It has earned recognition as a luxury travel enablement platform, been named the home of Azamara Cruises' best tour worldwide, and is rapidly emerging as the defining voice of luxury travel in the Eastern Caribbean. This is the story of how it happened. His idea was to launch donkey-guided tours, an authentic, one-of-a-kind experience that would give visitors a different way to explore the island. This early instinct — to find what is genuinely local, overlooked, and underutilized, and transform it into a compelling experience — would become the philosophical backbone of everything Nevis Sun Tours would build.The tour also engages unflinchingly with the history of slavery — a topic too often whitewashed in Caribbean tourism. "The way we handle that is in the most honest way possible that anyone can really connect with," Phillip said. The result is a deeply moving experience: one actor from the original Broadway cast of Hamilton reportedly stepped away from the group mid-tour to have a private emotional moment, not wanting others to see him overcome with feeling.The Alexander Hamilton Island Tour may be Nevis Sun Tours' flagship, but it sits within a rich portfolio of experiences that showcase the island's lesser-known treasures.This fan-favorite experience brings travelers to the farm of Ras Iroy, a local Rastafarian whom Phillip has known since childhood. Guests harvest their own ingredients, then cook traditional Ital cuisine — the plant-based culinary tradition of Rastafarianism, often called the original Caribbean veganism — on open fires in hand-made clay pots. One recent group spontaneously declared a "New York vs. Chicago cook-off," a reminder that authentic experiences invite authentic human connection.Nevis Sun Tours' ambitions extend beyond delivering great tours. In June, the company will host the inaugural Caribbean Luxury Travel Mastermind at the Four Seasons Nevis — an invitation-only event for serious luxury travel advisors. The event centers on Phillip's proprietary "Caribbean Luxury Travel Sales Framework," a methodology designed to help travel professionals more confidently sell and book high-end Caribbean vacations.Nevis Sun Tours' ascent from a startup built on tamed donkeys to an internationally recognized luxury travel enablement platform is a masterclass in purposeful tourism entrepreneurship. Its success is rooted not in marketing spin but in a genuine philosophy: find what is authentically, uniquely local, develop it with rigor and creativity, present it with world-class hospitality, and build trust with the travel professionals who move the world's most discerning travelers.More Caribbean Travel GuidesSupport the showTripCast360 --- It's all about travel, lifestyle and entertainment.Web: TripCast360.com.Twit: https://twitter.com/TripCast360FB: https://www.facebook.com/TripCast360Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tripcast360/

Rebecca and Liz explain Landor v.

Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy. This is by the author of the Booker Prize winning The God of Small Things - about her life growing up in India, the forces that shaped her, and particularly her very difficult relationship with her mother, Mary, who is always referred to in the book as Mrs Roy. Mrs Roy was a formidable force of nature and in trying to make sense of the dynamic between them, and to find her own way in the world, Arundhati has written a deeply moving, entertaining and profound memoir. How to Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair. The author grew up in Jamaica where her father was a radical Rastafarian and was paranoid about keeping his daughters away from the secular world which they referred to as Babylon. Safiya's childhood was often brutal, peripatetic and poor but she had the soul of a poet and the dream to eventually become one. It's an extraordinary and deeply moving memoir – how one young woman eventually found the courage to stand up to her father and became the woman she never thought she could be. Anyone who read Educated and loved it will love this. The Breath of the Gods by Simon Winchester: A remarkable exploration of our atmosphere, and the role played in our lives by wind – which can be both benign and malevolent. It's a fascinating story told through history, literature, science, poetry and engineering – and includes a piece on our own Wahine disaster. Simon Winchester has an ability to make the everyday and apparently mundane, extraordinary. The Hollows Boys by Peta Carey. The story of the three Hollows brothers Gary, Mark and Kim, who were pivotal in the helicopter deer recovery era in Fjordland in the 1970s which was a dangerous and unregulated time. Gary Hollows died (as did many others) and the pain of that is still felt keenly today, more than 40 years on. The work they did against the backdrop of such a beautiful part of the country is jaw dropping, with high deer tallies helping keep that population down (and thereby protecting the environment), lots of money sloshing around and amazing stories of real derring do by a group of extraordinarily brave and reckless men who lived by their own rules. Mana by Tame Iti. The deeply personal account of the life of one of our greatest rebels and radicals who grew up being forbidden to speak te reo and became one of its biggest advocates (amongst many other causes). He's lived much of his life in the public eye, going from bad boy status to that of a national treasure and the journey is well documented in this beautiful and thoughtful book. It's a lovely production and includes lots of photographs, including some of his own artwork. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Damon Landor, a state prisoner and practicing Rastafarian, refused to cut his hair as an expression of his faith. After prison officials forcibly restrained and shaved him, Landor sued under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), which prohibits governments from imposing unnecessary “substantial burdens” on inmates’ religious exercise. The district court, and later the Fifth Circuit, rejected his claim, holding that monetary damages were not an available form of “appropriate relief” under the statute.The Supreme Court has granted certiorari to decide whether RLUIPA allows prisoners to seek damages against government officials in their personal capacities for violations of religious rights. Oral argument is set for November 10, 2025.Featuring:Meredith Holland Kessler, Managing Attorney, Lindsay and Matt Moroun Religious Liberty Clinic and Term Teaching Professor of Law, University of Notre Dame Law School(Moderator) Joshua C. McDaniel, Assistant Clinical Professor of Law & Director, Religious Freedom Clinic, Harvard Law School

A mythic love story set in Trinidad, Ayanna Lloyd Banwo's radiant debut is a masterwork of lush imagination and exuberant storytelling—a spellbinding and hopeful novel about inheritance, loss, and love's seismic power to heal.In the old house on a hill, where the city meets the rainforest, Yejide's mother is dying. She is leaving behind a legacy that now passes to Yejide: one St Bernard woman in every generation has the power to shepherd the city's souls into the afterlife. But after years of suffering her mother's neglect and bitterness, Yejide is looking for a way out. Raised in the countryside by a devout Rastafarian mother, Darwin has always abided by the religious commandment not to interact with death. He has never been to a funeral, much less seen a dead body. But when the only job he can find is grave digging, he must betray the life his mother built for him in order to provide for them both. Newly shorn of his dreadlocks and his past, and determined to prove himself, Darwin finds himself adrift in a city electric with possibility and danger. Yejide and Darwin will meet inside the gates of Fidelis, an ancient and sprawling cemetery, where the dead lie uneasy in their graves and a reckoning with fate beckons them both.

Marc Cox talks with Hans von Spakovsky about the ongoing fight over the Affordable Care Act, the spike in Supreme Court emergency cases, and a key religious liberty lawsuit involving a Rastafarian prisoner. Hans also weighs in on the government shutdown and how possible filibuster changes could shape future political battles.

Mike previews the new Supreme Court term: Colorado's conversion-therapy ban, transgender athlete cases out of Idaho and West Virginia, a Louisiana Voting Rights Act fight, and a Rastafarian grooming claim, then dials in the panic meter on the “shadow docket”: what it is, why Trump's emergency-order wins look so lopsided, and where concern beats catastrophizing. From the vault, law professor Stephen Vladeck explains how the Court's stealth rulings amass power, and why explanations matter.

Yohan joins Freshly Grounded to share the story of growing up in a Rastafarian-led, God-centred home in West London, stumbling through Catholic pews and Baptist choirs, then finding Islam via a co-worker who prayed at Heathrow before pulling shifts at Caffè Nero. We unpack what actually tipped him over the line to take shahādah, the lonely stretch many reverts don't talk about, and how fatherhood (now six kids!) and the loss of a brother reshaped his faith and priorities.

The Life and Legacy of Haile Selassie: From Emperor to God

Remembering Gen. "Mad" Anthony Wayne and the Battle of Stony Point THE INTERVIEW Former Cro-Mags and Bad Brains singer John Joseph emerged from an abusive childhood in a foster home to serve in the Navy and then forge his punk rock career. Joseph rose through the ranks, along with others in the early 1980s scene including Henry Rollins, the Beastie Boys and others to become a successful singer. Now he inspires others as a vegan triathlete.

Alex Ashe's story doesn't begin behind a camera. It begins with a battered lighting technician's manual clutched between takes, with sweat on his brow and questions on his tongue. From long nights rigging lights to quiet hours studying lenses, Ashe's climb through the grip and electric department shaped the sensibility he brings to the frame today. Now a cinematographer and director, his images carry that hard-earned precision and a belief that light is never neutral. In this episode, Ashe discusses the layered politics of light and shadow, from his work on Nosferasta, an anti-colonial Rastafarian vampire epic, to The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire, shot almost entirely on 16mm in the relentless Florida sun. His collaborations with artists like Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich and Ira Sachs open a conversation about the deep trust between director and DP, where every decision—from pulling the exposure to choosing glass—is both a technical and philosophical one. But this is also the story of a filmmaker who questions images even as he makes them. Ashe grew up in the age of Netflix DVDs and arrived at cinema through theory, through The Battle of Algiers, through late-night rewinds. His education in Modern Culture and Media and Africana Studies taught him to interrogate the frame—and that mindset infuses all his work, whether shooting the surreal aftermath of a police shooting or chasing natural light in a cramped apartment. Visual Intonation is a show about how we see, and in this conversation, Ashe shows us how cinema can still be both a document and a dream. We talk risk, reverence, and the beauty of shooting on film. No gimmicks. Just a love for the image and the meaning inside it. Alex Ashe's Website: https://alexmashe.com/Alex Ashe's IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5737742/Alex Ashe's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexmashe/?hl=enSupport the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

"Beat Down Babylon" is a touching tribute to singer Junior Byles, whose recent passing on May 15, has deeply touched the Rootsland Family. This unscheduled episode unfolds with an emotional recollection of a moment in the mid-1990s, where Host Henry K, alongside veteran reggae artist Eddie Fitzroy, encountered Junior Byles, who had once been a titan in the reggae scene but was now a mere shadow of his former self. The stark transformation from celebrated artist to a figure grappling with the harsh realities of life is a testament to the indifference of an industry that often discards its heroes. The discussion traces the roots of Junior's artistry and the societal challenges faced by Rastafarians in Jamaica during the 1970s. His song 'Curly Locks' emerges as a powerful metaphor for the broader societal rejection experienced by those who embrace the Rastafarian faith, encapsulating themes of love, acceptance, and resistance against prejudice. As we journey through Junior's life, we are compelled to confront the dichotomy between artistic success and personal struggle, underscoring the emotional weight carried by those who create art that transcends the superficial metrics of commercial success.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: ritual abuse and mind control survivor, overcomer and thriver, Bob Marley's biological daughter, loving mother, content creator, serial entrepreneur, artist and visionary, writer and author, Grammy Award Winning songwriter, podcaster, educator and avid learner, sound bowl lover and healer, and a woman on a mission to blind the darkness with her light: Zara MarleyZara's early life, shrouded in the complexities of her claimed and proven Marley lineage, was marked by trauma that began in childhood. She was thrust into a sinister world of organized abuse, orchestrated by sadistic abusers embedded within the music industry and others in close proximity to her. She's experienced sadistic and satanic ritual abuse firsthand, a harrowing reality that included secret tunnels, coercive initiations, and the exploitation of vulnerable souls. These experiences, which link to high-profile figures and systemic corruption, were designed to break her spirit and silence her voice. Yet, even in the face of such darkness, Zara's inner light - a spark she attributes to her father's legacy of resilience and Rastafarian faith - refused to be extinguished.As the biological daughter of beloved reggae legend Bob Marley, Zara carries the weight of a legacy steeped in music, love, and revolution, yet her journey diverges into a darker, lesser-known path - one of survival, healing, and fearless whistleblowing. As a survivor of satanic and sadistic ritual abuse, Zara has transformed her pain into purpose, emerging as a warrior for truth, a protector of the vulnerable, and an inspiration to countless survivors. Through her upcoming book, ‘Reclaim Your Soul', and her candid interviews, she shines a searing light on the underbelly of power and corruption, all while embodying the unyielding spirit of her father's call for justice and liberation.Zara's journey to healing began when she confronted the fragmented memories of her past, a process that required immense courage and spiritual fortitude. Drawing on the principles of unity and resistance that her father championed, she embarked on a path of self-discovery, piecing together the truths of her experiences. This journey led her to author Reclaim Your Soul, a book that promises to expose the music industry's darkest secrets while offering hope and guidance to survivors and victims of abuse. Through her writing and numerous other projects aimed at helping elevate humanity, Zara transforms her trauma into a beacon of empowerment and hope, encouraging others to reclaim their agency on a soul level, and break free from the chains of oppression.As a whistleblower, Zara's voice is both profound and provocative. She has spoken candidly about her encounters with industry giants, including discussions with Sean “P Diddy” Combs, about the spiritual toll of his initiation into elite circles. Her revelations about secret tunnels and their nefarious purposes have sparked intense discussion, challenging listeners to confront uncomfortable realities about power and control. Yet, Zara's mission extends beyond exposure; she is deeply committed to helping survivors heal, offering them a lifeline through her advocacy and support.Zara's connection to her father's legacy is not just familial but spiritual. While her father's music uplifted the disenfranchised through reggae's rhythmic rebellion, Zara's activism takes aim at the systemic forces that perpetuate abuse, making her a modern-day warrior in the Marley tradition. Her courage to speak out, despite the risks, mirrors Bob's own defiance in the face of political violence and oppression, as seSupport the show

It's that time of year again! And for this rare holiday equinox which sees Easter, Passover, and 4/20 overlapping, we endeavor to cover some weed-tacular winter holiday songs with more of a religious connection than in previous years. We find great joy in the sincere silliness of "Little Dealer Boy" performed by Willie Nelson and Stephen Colbert. Then, unfortunately, we really fucked up by listening to "Angels We Have Heard on High" by a band that we're not even going to mention by name here because we don't need that kind of heat. Suffice to say, they are definitey, definitely not Rastafarian, even if their t-shirt that says "Not a Rasta" in green, yellow, and red letters with a big lion winking on it is raising a lot of questions answered by the shirt. (Note: there's also another artist featured on the song who we confused for a member of the band because she isn't credited well on the youtube video, so we're just going to go ahead and leave her out of this too.) We would like to formally apologize for our failure. We promise next year to properly blaze it and keep the vibes chill and tight. The ranking music in this episode is "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy" performed by Bing Crosby and David Bowie.

Interview with Vernon Francois:Vernon Francois is a world-renowned celebrity hairstylist, as well as an artist and educator on the Ulta Beauty Pro Team. He is also the owner of haircare brand, VERNON FRANCOIS Haircare, an award-winning vegan and certified cruelty-free product line. The brand's design elements are centered around ‘intuitive color coding and visual icons' to simplify the navigation process for consumers, an idea that stemmed from Vernon's journey with dyslexia. Since childhood Vernon has always had a passion for hair and today he specializes in all textures and types. Throughout his career, Vernon has emphasized the importance of embracing your hair texture and has shown this in all of his high-fashion, celebrity red-carpet looks. His passion began while growing up in a Rastafarian family where hair was a symbolic part of his childhood and relationship with his mother. This passion and the lack of inclusion for different hair textures in the UK at the time inspired Vernon to start his brand. Vernon has a wide clientele and has achieved global publicity for a few of his looks, for example, his work with Serena Williams on the cover of Vanity Fair. Although he is a celebrity stylist, Vernon's influence has reached people at home too. His attention to all hair textures has helped individuals feel seen and gives people all over the world a sense of confidence, something that was hard to achieve before you could see someone on the red carpet who had similar features as you.
