    She just won her primary for Texas State Representative, sits on the State Board of Education, and went viral for standing her ground when a man tried to bring a Confederate flag into a public meeting. Staci Childs pulls up to Black Geek Energy to break down what is actually happening to Texas classrooms right now. We get into why Texas textbook decisions ripple out to the whole country, the fight over putting the Bible in classrooms, what got stripped from Mexican and Black history curriculum, and the real story behind that viral flag photo. Staci also breaks down how she stays calm against bad faith testimony, why bots are shaping political discourse more than people realize, and what it means to raise Black children in a state actively rewriting their history. Then we run our Legal Superheroes segment, putting Spider-Man, Superman, Daredevil, and Ash Ketchum's questionable childhood on trial, and close with a quickfire round covering Kendrick versus Drake, werewolves versus vampires, and her Hampton clarinet section roots.

    The Viral HBCU Drum Major Breaks Down Band Culture ft. Isaac Williams

    He went viral for a drum major move that wasn't even his, and he's been putting people on to HBCU band culture ever since. Isaac Williams, the Bethune Cookman drum major turned content creator, pulls up to Black Geek Energy. We get into what people still get wrong about HBCU bands (spoiler, cranking is a culture, not a lack of musicality), the real story behind uniform deductions and Dr. Wells, and why he thinks drum majors should pick their instruments back up in the stands. Isaac breaks down coaching high schoolers who do not know their own bodies yet, the ethics of brands leaning on HBCU culture without the right people in the room, and gets brutally honest about the spat that almost cost him a deduction mid field show. We also run him through Name That Band, and he goes toe to toe with Jardo across the whole SWAC and MEAC. Then the 17 questions cover Magneto versus Professor X, the gayest Disney villain, and the one webtoon he swears is getting an anime adaptation any day now. If you love HBCU culture, band season, or just love hearing somebody talk with real passion about their craft, this is your episode.
