    The Pop Culture Edition....

    In my latest episode I'm talking all things pop culture while we're waiting on a decision in the Breonna Taylor murder case. As you know Louisville, KY declared a 'state of emergency' while we were recording our segment. Like so many, I'm troubled by this. I'm praying that the outcome will be favorable. Sadly, we in the black community have traveled this road too many times before. It was hard to stay focused, but all eyes on Louisville right now. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #Live #Learn #Grow #TheStJamesProjectPodcast #AnchorFM  https://www.thestjamesproject.com/

    Why We Need Your Vote-Trump Must Be Defeated 2020

    On this week's episode of the St.James Project Podcast. My banter is directed to those from specifically the African-American community who've decided to withhold their vote in November. In this short but passion plea...I am appealing to all POC to think soberly. The "clown" in the White House is a danger to this country. If we want to move forward, work towards peace & harmony amongst the races...we MUST by all means start with voting this current administration out. Please listen with an open heart and understand where I'm coming from. I personally don't like the candidates running this year, but we have to make the most of a difficult situation.  Biden at best will be a one-term president. We as African-Americans can start now making a list of demands of both parties if they want to win our support. We get more accomplished when we work together as a team. #Live #Learn #Grow #Facebook #Twitter #Instagram https://www.thestjamesproject.com/

    Here We Go Again!!! White People Flexing Their White Privilege

    On this episode of The St.James Project...I like many other black Americans am frustrated!!! The day-to-day racism that we deal with in our everyday lives continues to add to our woes collectively. Every day you read about it, see on the news, social how a black man or woman has come under attack in some way. Whether it"s being harassed by the police, racially profiled, being told to ID ourselves to a random white person, and them using 911 likes it a customer service line.  Where do we go from here?? It's time to take our destiny into our hands and stop the madness. Recently, I saw the movie "Panther" directed by Mario Van Peebles on Youtube. If you haven't had the chance to check it out please do so. Dr. Huey P. Newton was a "badass." He took upon himself to learn the laws and essentially became a threat to the police. Knowledge is POWER, knowing when to apply that knowledge is WISDOM. In one of his quotes, Dr. Newton stated that "ignorance & inertia" was the greatest enemy to our people. I would like to add that "infighting" is what is hurting us right at this moment.  We've got to stop being passive but stay dogmatic and relentless in our protests...otherwise, we will continue to see many more Christopher Cooper, George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, just to name a few types of situations. We all have a part to play in our healing, development and moving forward. The time is now.  #Live #Learn #Grow

    Gentrification Pt 2- Oakland- The Cultural, Diversity, and Why it's Going Away!!! (Replay)

    In part two of my weekly podcast series. This interview with activist John Jones, III, Affirmative Action Committee Member. We have a frank discussion from his perspective on what's really happening in the city of Oakland. John Jones has seen first hand how marginalized people have been directly affected by this new influx of the tech boom that has taken over in the bay area.  What was once dubbed the "chocolate city" is no longer that. The city of Oakland which is right outside of San Francisco is currently dealing with a homeless problem that leaders can't seem to solve. It's gotten so bad, you now see families living under freeways, on backroads, near railroad tracks and the streets are litter with all types of waste as a result.  More importantly, there is a vibe, culture, and art that is being erased. The downtown area is under massive reconstruction where new apartment buildings being built has taken over. Gone are one of the most beautiful murals that were located on 14th Alice St. The Malonga center, a gathering place for artists, young and inspiring has lost its appeal. While change is a good thing, not at the expense of a culture, and it's people. #Live #Learn #Grow https://www.thestjamesproject.com/

    Gentrification & Oakland and The African American Culture (Replay)

    Today's episode originally aired about a year in a half ago (Part 1). I spoke with Chief Petty Officer Michael Wright who had recently moved to the Bay Area and was dismayed at all the people he saw living in squalor conditions because they could not afford rent.  I sat down with PO Wright who has traveled the world extensively and talked gave his thoughts on what was taking place. PO Wright view is from the outside looking in. A former enlistee in the Navy now calls the Bay Area home who has never had any trouble with the law. Most homeless people are deemed to be drug users, uneducated, etc. There is a stigma attached to that lifestyle.  I've met so many individuals who have degrees, have jobs, etc. However, they cannot afford the high cost of living in the Bay Area. Most importantly, I've met many people of color whose roots are here in Oakland. Although this is happening across the US, I was deeply touched by the testimonies I heard from those who've lost their homes, sleeping in cars, with their children and just trying to survive. Not knowing when they will be able to have a normal life, a permanent address. This truly is a crisis that is NOT getting better. We've got to be about our business and digress from all other distractions that continue to divide us in the African diaspora community. Next week, I will play part II of this interview. Two brothers from two different worlds with two different perspectives. #Live #Learn #Grow https://www.thestjamesproject.com/
