Welcome to Dear Culture, the podcast version of the conversations you’re already having with the people you don’t even realize you know. Every week, cultural commentator and editorialist Panama Jackson will be a tour guide through some intersection of Blackness and culture. Bringing his years of experience writing and commentating on the culture from an educational and entertaining viewpoint, Dear Culture will engender everything Don King meant when he uttered the words, “...and that’s the Blackness.” We might not know where we’re going when we start, but what we do know is that by the time you get to the end, you will undoubtedly say, that was Black and that was the culture. Dear Culture is the podcast for all of the people who know the appropriate call-and-response for when somebody enters the room and says, “God is good…” because that is the culture.

Hypnotic

Hey, Hypnotic is one of the only alcoholic drinks that I actually like. What’s wrong with Hypnotic?

Kwanzaa Episode

Great Episode! I like how you interrogated why Kwanzaa hasn’t been accepted and practiced in the greater black community..
and shared examples of how a living , breathing celebration could look like.

What was especially illuminating were ways the principles were put into ACTION as fun activities for individuals or a family or a bigger community

Though I haven’t celebrated since I was a very small child, I have been Kwanzaa-curious in the last couple of years. I thought our celebration had to be meditative, and consist of having solemn discussions over the dinner table as we light candles. This episode created a paradigm shift for me and I will be looking for different ways to celebrate with my family this year.

I will be looking for the Kwanzaa play list and the 7 Principles movie suggestions!

I will also be sharing this episode with friend, family and some affinity groups I belong to.

Thank you!!
