It's the little things we ignore, isn't it? Thorn in my Side (TimS) takes personal stories from Black and brown individuals who are willing to share moments from their everyday encounters with racism. We're focusing on the experiences that don't make headlines, and how even these 'micro-aggressions' are more impactful than we give them credit for.
Each episode highlights moments across a variety of fields and backgrounds, showing that no person of color can hide from this. We have to take a new approach so we can see an end to this cycle.

interlude 01: a soliloquy about Minnesota / podcast update
**UPDATE** Daunte Wright was pulled over for expired license tags, and it was later found out that there was a warrant out for his arrest.
It's been a minute... I'm back for a moment to share my thoughts on the recent acts of police violence that have taken place for Daunte Wright and Lt. Caron Nozario, as well as give updates on where the podcast is headed for season 2 (Spring/Summer 2021).
Video episodes coming soon!!

Jerry "Curbside Jones" Manning Jr. is hard to categorize as one thing: he's a musician, a sound engineer, photographer, and producer just to give you an idea. Currently in Austin, TX, we talk about his experience living there as a Black artist, his upbringing as a military child who has traveled a lot, and his dreams of one day living in Japan.
