Give And Take, With G. Allen G. Allen

Jamar and I enter the seasonal chat with questions about music, where seeking answers on Blackness lead to anti-semitic fallacies, and will Twitter survive the winter.

We back! And just like before, I'm on a completely different topic:

In preparation for my first Brazilian Zouk Festival (conveniently down the street), I ask myself: is Zouk a Cult?!?

Enjoy me assess my thoughts, my first impressions, and my own confusion as to why I'm hesitant about an activity I commit my free time to.

To add some variety and new perspectives to a series of me talking into a mic, Kiana Nadonza, PhD Candidate and Graduate Teaching Fellow at the University of Oregon stops by for our quarterly in-depth catch-up. As my self-proclaimed relationship guru, Kiana is always up for diving deep into our lives' interpersonal, astrological, and all-around messy aspects.  

Part 2 of the 5-part Conversation series.

This summer needs a jam, and while we wait for Beyonce to throw her hat into the ring, Jamar and I think about the reaction to Kendrick Lamar's new album, "Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers."

Does King Kendrick do it for the culture and the summer vibes?

On this long weekend, I sit with more questions about how Juneteenth feels too white-washed after everyone learned about it just a year ago. How your job can improve Juneteenth celebrations going forward!

Also, how much is your time worth? Are you wasting your time trying to be cheap or for immediate cheap thrills for long-term labor?
