On this episode… We don’t believe in humble, but Dave Chappelle is getting on our nerves! Then Blackness, regular Black, Foundational Black, ADOS, Barack, Kamala, and all that in a big conflated nuance lacking sandwich of ‘What does the Black diaspora mean today?’.


This week’s hotlist - Birthday affirmations work! Therapy, plants and feel good music, Dave Chappelle’s branding as “epic”, Black mediocrity goals and Kevin Hart. Diaspora wars, ADOS, FBA, the rules of Black ethnicity, race, culture, some chattel slavery facts, intersections of privilege, and all kinds of Black and nuanced sh*t bc the Black experience is NUANCED and that’s powerful!
