Own Up To It w/ @Takenyah by FLAGRANT 2 w/D. Murph
Welcome Back to Change The Subject. Today we have a bonus episode, that was recorded back in March of 2019. It was a conversation that I would like to title Body Accounts. It’s a dialogue about the various phases a person goes through when its time to make health decisions for themselves. There are so many factors that play a part in what you do with your body.My guest on this episode is none other than my baby sister TaKenyah, who is a very loud and bold voice for people who struggle with being black, marginalized, overweight….and a host of other things. She was very transparent about the trials of transitioning from recently graduating college….no longer room mating….to now living on your own. The idea of being alone with your responsibilities and struggles will definitely throw you off. She talks about the mental health of this time, and how it effected her health and dieting choices. And then we both realized something…black health matters just as much to these black lives we live. But look how we've been conditioned…We started with dating. How we use food to romanticize our significant others. From what we've been told, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach right? Or when she gets cranky, just give her something to eat should fix her attitude right? These are ideals people of color live by. Which can be detrimental.We talked family tradions, stigmas, social settings, and a bunch of other things. We spoke on MCM and WCW as well. How you think sexy equates healthy. Also, how we can also use this very same people we admire to marginalize others. There was so many different ways we took this conversation. I cant even fit it all in this description. This conversation was loaded.We also talked about how men are also body shamed and seasonal for people who like to romanticize men for certain occasions. Talks began to form of how that effects a man, within himself and his homies. You will surprised at how many accounts you have with people trying to control or dictate to you how you should look and feel. We wanted to bring it to your attention with this conversation.This was a great dialogue to listen to, even though it is a few months old. Listen and tell me what you think. Another episode will be following this one….tune in before the new show drops. Remember to leave a rating and comment on Apple Podcast. All of your support has been greatly appreciated. Tune into TaKenyah and I talk about what its like to be black, fat, and from Detroit!

Welcome back to another episode of Our2Cents Podcast. We are here with another episode of great dialogue. This episode is a great dialogue about the mental health needed to withstand an imbalanced partnership...whether friendship, relationship, or marriage. A few days ago, a pastor named John Gray, made a declarative statement that his wife was a covering to him, in time of him dealing with some insecurities/fragility in his manhood. He also stated that his wife endured more pain birthing him, than she did their children. That sent women into an outrage, because he never once considered her humanity, while she assisted in his! Women began to show their disgust for him, and even his wife for her tolerance. But is that because he used her for his own personal gains? Or because she was actually able to reap the reward of sticking with a man she sacrificed for...and you didnt?...or couldn't? We brought someone along to help us break down this dysfunction. We have TaKenyah, a very outspoken podcast trailblazer, who doesn't back down from any type of conversation that challenges your comfort when it comes to privilege and inequality. She brought so much wisdom and personal discovery to the conversation. She talked about her upcoming graduation from college in December. The depression and emotional traumas that suddenly appear at the peak of one of her biggest accomplishments. She also talked about how toxic John's narrative was for both women of color in a relationship; and for women who are single, who are looking forward to love. Advising woman to focus on your self worth, versus determining your worth based on what you do for a man.Mohna gave some profound pointers on how words can be misconstrued by the emotions behind them. How adding special dressings on top of your words can backfire, just like it did for our beloved brother. She places emphasis on compassion, understanding, detail, and communication being focal points for men and women. BJ brings a more spiritual perspective to the conversation, while taking in the conversation of two women with different views on the topic. Asking the questions that men are too uncomfortable to ask. Where is divine order in black love? How do we emotionally gain support as black men, without being degraded? The process of talking out the issues between men and women brought a lot of great pointers to build on in any relationship state. Listen and let us know what you think!
