Welcome to Everythang Culture - We are here to learn and share traditions, backgrounds, rituals, and much more with our guests and listeners. Our goal is to bridge to gap of separation which causes ignorance so we can understand and hopefully love one another. Our mission statement is inspired by the words of Rev. MLK Jr., I am convinced that men often hate each other because they fear each other. They fear each other because they don’t know each other, and they don’t know each other because they don’t communicate with each other, and they don’t communicate with each other because they are separated from each other.” The pillars of our mission are Respect, Communication, and Consistency.

    We are back!  ⁨@chanpods⁩  and I are back for season 2 of Talks They Don't Want to Have. This episode we discussed the importance of reading and the literacy crisis in the modern American society. A literacy crisis refers to a widespread decline in people’s ability to read, understand, and use written language effectively, a term most commonly used to describe the sharp drop in reading skills and comprehension among U.S. students and adults in recent years. Core definition of the literacy crisis The crisis is not limited to basic word recognition. It centers on the ability to process, interpret, and apply written information, which is foundational to learning, work, and full participation in society. Key statistics confirming the crisis •More than half of U.S. adults read below a sixth-grade level, with 21% classified as functionally illiterate, meaning they cannot understand critical everyday texts like prescription labels, job applications, or government forms. •National K-12 assessments show persistent declines in reading scores, with nearly 40% of fourth graders and roughly a third of eighth graders reading below basic proficiency, the highest share ever recorded. Common causes cited by researchers •Digital media and shortened attention spans: Constant exposure to short-form social media content reduces the stamina needed to engage with long, complex written material. •Underfunded education and systemic gaps: Many students fall through the cracks in K-3 foundational reading instruction, and secondary schools lack sufficient resources to support struggling readers. •Pandemic learning disruptions: School closures and remote learning gaps accelerated pre-existing declines in reading achievement. Why the crisis matters Reading is the foundation of all academic and professional learning. Students who struggle with literacy face barriers to mastering history, science, and math, while adults with low literacy face reduced economic mobility and limited ability to participate fully in civic life.

    The Talk (RIP Nolan Wells)

    We are back with episode two of Talks They Don't Want to Have. In this episode, we discuss "The Talk." The talk means something in every household, but this talk is specific to Black people or American descendants of slavery. We discuss the talk's impact (positive and negative) on our youth and ourselves. We talk about Nolan Wells and how, even though we live in 2026, "The Talk" is still necessary.    Make sure to leave a comment and engage. Remember our pillars: Respect, Communication, and Consistency.    Huge thanks to @chanpods for collaborating.    Clip: BlackBeltBabe on TikTok

    Our People Died, So We Could Vote

    Just as the Black community impacts culture, it continues to be a force during elections.  According to Pew Research Center, there are 34,450,000 eligible Black voters in the U.S. - 14% of all eligible voters. The bulk of those voters live in the south (We're talking to you, Texas, Georgia, and Florida). Nowhere are Black voters more critical than in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina where races are so close that they have been decided by a few thousand votes. While some states try to roll back voting rights and protections, Black voters continue to cast ballots to elect federal, state, and local officials who handle policies that directly impact their communities. Chan and I discuss the history, importance, and experiences of voting in America. Tune in, engage, and VOTE! Listen, share, and make a change.

    How Much Has the Internet Changed Us?

    The advent of the internet has revolutionized almost every aspect of our lives, from how we communicate to how we access information. Its influence is profound and far-reaching, shaping the way we think, interact, and even perceive the world. Communication RevolutionThe internet has transformed communication, making it faster and more accessible than ever before. With the rise of email, social media, and instant messaging, we can connect with others across the globe in real-time. This has not only made it easier to maintain personal relationships but has also facilitated global business operations and cultural exchanges. Access to InformationBefore the internet, accessing information required a trip to the library or reliance on physical media. Now, information is at our fingertips, available instantly through search engines and online databases. This democratization of knowledge has empowered individuals to educate themselves and stay informed about world events. Impact on EducationThe internet has significantly impacted education by providing new learning opportunities through online courses and virtual classrooms. Students now have access to a wealth of resources and can collaborate with peers worldwide, breaking down geographical barriers in education. Social DynamicsSocial networks have changed how we form and maintain relationships. They allow us to share experiences and ideas with a broader audience, but they have also raised concerns about privacy and the quality of our social interactions. Challenges and ConsiderationsDespite its many benefits, the internet poses challenges such as digital addiction, misinformation, and cybersecurity threats. It's crucial to navigate these issues responsibly to ensure a positive impact on society. In conclusion, the internet has dramatically changed us and continues to shape the future. It has opened up new possibilities while also presenting new challenges that require thoughtful consideration and adaptation. Leave your experiences and thoughts with us in the comments and reviews below!
