TKAM #1006: Checking on our Black Friends!

Glorious Juneteenth to all the Black Friends everywhere!

We did the show from Bed Stuy today as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on...among a lot of other things also raging on. We’re bringing your morning duo back to for a special #AffirmationFriday, checking in with Black friends.

We open the show with a little of #NewsYouCanUse. We are seeing the effects that Black protesting is having for everyone else. The Supreme Court is (surprisingly) coming through on for DACA Dreamers, the LGBTQIA+, and the federal government is finally allocating funds to Native American communities.

We finally check in with our Black friends in media, medicine, social justice, and wellness to talk about the issues happening right now. We got everything from talking about Defunding the Police (Funding the Community), protesting safely with from the virus, corporate “allies,” and Black wellness in times of chaos.

We love you for listening.

TKAM 1004: The Ephemeral April

This is one of those episodes where you just had to be there.

TK & Conscious firing on all cylinders, riffing, no dead air, engaging with the guests, the chatroom, and each other on the highest level. Heartfelt goodbyes were said at the end of the show to find out….It wasn’t recorded!!

BUT, our guests were GREAT and we want to highlight them and their offerings to listeners.
We thank them both for sharing wonderful resourceful information about how we can better deal with the daily onslaught of Coronavirus news as it affects our community and our mental health.
