WILL CAPITALISM DESTROY HUMANITY?
Capitalism is how the world goes round, but as the world heats up, tensions rise and the stakes get higher, should it be the standard? With climate change being an unavoidable concern, global inflation and threats of war on the horizon, it may be safe to say that capitalism is behind the world's biggest problems. Join us for a dope conversation about capitalism's impact on our community.
- Capitalism 101.

RELIGIOSITY: DOES IT SERVE BLACK & BROWN PEOPLE?
Religion and tradition are important to many in the Black and Brown communities. With the recent acknowledgement of the wrong doings of the Catholic church to indigenous Canadians and last week's anti-queer street execution of O'Shae Sibley, in this episode, we examine the role religion has played in our past and current reality. Does religion have a place in our future? - Accountability 101.

GENDER WARS: BIG BUCKS & AN EVEN BIGGER DISTRACTION
Our beloved Keke Palmer divided the internet like the red sea. That sheer dress seen around the world stirred up the ever familiar and ongoing debate about women’s body autonomy and men being unnecessarily vocal about what women should or shouldn't be wearing. Whether brought to you by the manosphere or your fav girl boss, gender wars are profitable but costly. Is it “nature” or is it "toxic"? In this episode, we explore how we got here and if it's killing our community's ability to heal.

DO DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICANS DESERVE THE BLACK & BROWN VOTE?
With major issues like low wages, hyper-division and climate change that threaten our actual existence, we seem to be faced with the never ending conundrum of voting for representatives that are more devoted to corporations and partisan politics rather than pushing policies that will ensure our future. Are republicans or democrats interested in working for the Black and Brown vote or do they feel entitled? Join us for Chapter 2 of Summer School as we continue our deep dive into Politics 101.

CAN BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE UNIFY POLITICALLY?
Welcome to Summer School, our audio-only, 6 episode series tackling some topics that are important to us. Plus, this gives us an excuse to stay in touch while we gear up for season 2. First up, Politics 101! Over the last year, we have seen the reversal of Roe vs Wade, the end of affirmative action and the removal of several anti-discrimination protections. On this episode, Donovan and Eliana are joined by Karl, Paige, Dr. Angel and Sylvester to discuss why some Black folks and POC are being drawn to the republican party at a time when we need unity the most.
