    Discussions about non-Black students enrolling at HBCUs and their true intention have long since been debated in the HBCU community by alumni and outsiders...Is it because they love the culture? Are they genuine allies? Are they taking advantage of an opportunity to study at a unique institution to learn more about the culture?

Recently a Howard Law School student who happened to not be black crossed all three of those lines and is suing the institution...Check in with the crew to hear our thoughts on this.   As always...

    S3 Ep. 11 - Black Trauma in Movies

    Why is trauma such a staple in Black cinema? Why during Black History Month are these movies shown repeatedly? This is supposed to be a time to celebrate the culture and the many shades of us...why must we experience and see our trauma during our "celebration"? We know it's #Black365 and no one month can ever fully tell the whole story, but why is our story always tied to trauma before the triumph, when we see ourselves on the silver screen?  These are questions the crew attempts to address in the second half of this episode.
