My name is Nikita Mangaru and I have been born in a time where school shootings are normal, there is currently a global pandemic, and there is a sexist, white supremacist as my president (but not really), all before I am even an adult. In this podcast I want to talk about current political issues as well as less serious topics like what I think about movies and tv shows, but most importantly how the world affects marginalized people. I'll work to make this equal parts serious and equal parts fun. These will be my pure unfiltered thoughts.

    movie review: The Lovebirds

    In a society where murder mysteries are super white and interracial couples are Black and white, we have Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani breaking barriers and creating a late-night comedy that's old but new. Listen in to hear the twists and turns and even some controversy surrounding Nanjiani. Then, decide if you want to watch.

    i miss the old kanye

    Hi everyone! This week I am talking about the slow (but kind of fast) decline of Kanye West's mental stability. Throughout the years he has been involved in numerous scandals, but lately it seems as though he needs some help. One thing I failed to mention is that he made some wack comments regarding Harriet Tubman this past week and was shut down but one of the living relatives of Tubman. Serves him right! While his music is good, at this point, we as consumers should no longer line his pockets. Can we finally cancel him and force him to get help?

    Hear about my crazy day today - reflection on western mass and getting towed. Was it really that crazy? Probably not, but definitely stressful.

    what is juneteenth?

    Hey y'all! In this episode I will be talking about a celebration created in 1865, created by and for Black people, that should be more mainstream and celebrated by everyone. I dive into the history, how it is celebrated, and why we should celebrate Juneteenth. It needs to be adopted as a formal national holiday ad possibly replace July 4th especially in importance.  Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and Twitter! Here are the sources I used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth https://www.pbs.org/wnet/african-americans-many-rivers-to-cross/history/what-is-juneteenth/ https://www.juneteenth.com/history.htm https://www.archives.gov/exhibits/featured-documents/emancipation-proclamation#:~:text=President%20Abraham%20Lincoln%20issued%20the,and%20henceforward%20shall%20be%20free.%22 https://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=false&doc=34

    atlanta protest 6/7

    Black women's voices are often ignored and need to be heard. In this episode, you will hear speeches from various women activists in Atlanta, Georgia which are both inspiring and powerful. I hope you can feel immersed in these speeches as if you were actually there!  Thanks for listening! Don't forget to let me know what you think on Instagram or Twitter.
