    Black Men and Politics: Their voice, their impact and our future

    I keep hearing that Black people  are loyal Democrats and this confuses me. Mainly because Black people don't vote, therefore we are not loyal to the Democratic party. That’s a misconception. If that’s the case the Democratic Party would not be hustling to increase voter turnout each year and the Republicans would not be able to conduct redistricting every other year to suppress votes. We either vote Democrat or we don’t vote at all.  We don’t fuck with or trust the Republican party, not because we are loyal to Democrats. It’s because today’s Republicans are the ones outwardly denying the existence of systemic racism and opposing the fight against said systemic racism. Yet with all that’s going and so much on the line including having a Black woman on the ticket for VP we are greatly divided Politically.  Especially Black Men. First Kanye decided to run, Nick Cannon supported Kanye after getting his black card snatched for apologizing and Jaheim took a break from driving his Uber to write a song about it. I know no one is perfect but with all the disrespect and disregard Trump has had for blacks over the last few months alone what is his appeal to Black men and young voters. Why is that considering such a huge price was paid to allow us to vote? Joining us to discuss The Movement and The appeal of Trump to Independents, black men and young people are Alvin Hicks, Ivan Walker and Darren Singleton Resources:  https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/ https://www.usa.gov/confirm-voter-registration https://www.vote.org/polling-place-locator/ Send your questions or comments to SweetTalkLive@gmail.com or hit us up on FB, Instagram or Twitter @SweetTalkLane.

    Coming out on the other side

    "Grief is the hardest journey we will ever take." ​We have experienced some form of grief over the last few months.  Many of us may have not realized that we were in fact grieving.  Usually, when we talk about grief we think of death. But grief also means dealing with the loss of normalcy, routine, employment, social interaction and much more.  On this episode we discuss Grief Journeys and how to help someone along their personal journey and what a grief journey entails. We answer the questions: How can I emotionally support someone who is grieving? How long should I grieve? What should I say or do when some says they are not okay? ​Featured Guest: Anitra J.Green was born and raised in Chester, PA. She obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from West Chester University May 1998 and her Master’s Degree in social work from the University of Pittsburgh December 1999. Mrs.Green is a licensed clinical social worker who has worked in the social work field for over twenty years and has a specific interest and passion for supporting those who are grieving. She is the host and founder of the Grieving with Hope Conference which began in October 2018 and the Grieving with Hope Conference call which began March 2020.
