Black History Lessons Blackedoutcontent

This week host @drstew goes behind the scenes with CEO of MIXD Fashion, Jada Taylor and her work on the film Judas & The Black Messiah. The historical and cultural importance of black culture and talent and its monumental influence in fashion today must be acknowledged. Our dress is a form of our heritage and your clothing is the first thing that individuals see. A specific piece of clothing can become representative for an entire movement. Throughout history and today, we see how style and clothing is important and critical when fashioning a movement within the Black community.

In part 2, host @drstew is back, this time with Lester Jay providing perspective on Birth of the Blues and expansion of Jazz music and culture. A dash of live historical content provides clarity to the discussion. 

Redlining is one of the myriad ways blacks experienced discrimination in the housing market. This year marks the 105th anniversary of the Great Migration in Chicago, where hundreds of thousands of Black Americans left the South for better opportunities. When they arrived, they were confined to the Black Belt on the South Side. Even as overcrowded conditions cramped black families, a host of real estate policies prevented them from moving to white areas.

African Americans have made significant contributions to the art of music in many genres. A little bit of history and a special guest, Mausiki Scales of the Common Ground Collective imparts unique and informative perspective on the true beginnings of our music.

A subset within Black History Lessons, The Great Debate is a mini-series of episodes where our host @drstew provides her opinion on big topics of discussion in the world. Despite the name, there are no guest speakers. This week, she talks about reparations as the HR 40 bill was just reintroduced in the House of Representatives. 

In our conclusion, our host @DrStew talks with our special guests Chef Rellz and Chef Flu about their inspiration and how they create in the kitchen. Reclaiming our cuisine, these two budding chefs speak on the importance of having a platform and collaboration with other chefs, culinary artists and foodies alike to bring awareness to black representation in and outside of the kitchen.
