    Trey’s Table Episode 457 Sarah La Morena

    When you hear a song, what kind of picture does your mind build of the person singing it? In the latest episode of Trey’s Table, we look at the incredible story of Sarah La Morena—a dark-skinned, Afro-Mexican singer captivating audiences worldwide with regional Mexican music. Born in California and adopted by a loving Mexican family in Zacatecas, Sarah’s life challenges the shallow boundaries of race, expectations, and musical genres. Her journey opens the door to deeper, necessary conversations: What truly shapes our identity—our skin or the environment that loves and raises us? The nuances and debates surrounding transracial and transcultural adoption. Why we must dismantle the boxes that tell people what they are “allowed” to create, sing, or enjoy. From 80s pop to Living Colour to Frank Sinatra, music has always had the power to cross boundaries and unite souls. 🎧 Tune in now to join the conversation. What’s an artist or genre you love that might surprise people based on who you are? Let’s talk in the comments.

    Trey’s Table Episode 456: State v. Keshia Golden

    New Episode of Trey’s Table: Self-Defense, Domestic Violence, and the Trial of Keisha Golden While national media attention often zeroes in on high-profile cases like the Lindsay Clancy trial, countless stories at the critical intersection of race, gender, and the legal system slip under the radar. In this episode of Trey’s Table, host Trey Smith breaks down the complex and heartbreaking case of Keisha Golden—an eight-month-pregnant woman in Chicago who faced first-degree murder charges after fatally stabbing her abusive partner in self-defense, only to resolve her case this week through a plea deal for involuntary manslaughter. In this episode, we explore: The Legal Realities of Self-Defense: Why traditional doctrines of self-defense and "proportionality of force" routinely fail victims of domestic abuse. The Coercion of Plea Deals: An insider look from a defense attorney's perspective on how high bonds, pre-trial detention, and mandatory minimums pressure even innocent defendants into pleading guilty. Historical Precedents: The legacy of Battered Woman Syndrome, from the landmark 1977 Francine Hughes ("The Burning Bed") case to modern reforms like New York’s Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act. Overlooked Voices: Examining the contrast in public empathy and media coverage between cases, remembering Marguerite Whitley, and demanding accountability in local judicial and prosecutorial elections. How can our criminal legal system better protect victims of domestic violence before tragedy strikes? 🎧 Listen now to the full episode on your favorite podcast platform.

    Trey’s Table Episode 455: Why Are There No Black NLF Team Owners?

    Why has there never been a Black majority owner in NFL history? With the kickoff of the NFL regular season just around the corner, we’re digging into what many describe as the most exclusive fraternity in the United States: NFL team owners. In this episode of Trey’s Table, we break down: * The stark racial demographics behind the league’s controlling ownership. * The staggering financial barriers and family dynastic structures keeping the gates closed. * The legal bombshells emerging in Brian Flores’ discrimination lawsuit. * How unified player power—highlighted by DeMaurice Smith’s inside account in Turf Wars—stopped Rush Limbaugh from buying into the league back in 2009. * A special listener letter from Iceland that sparks a conversation about passion, storytelling, and where the show goes next. Black players make up over half the league on the field, but when will that translate to controlling the boardroom? 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

    Trey’s Table Episode 452: Race, Islam, and Politics

    When the next Congress is sworn in, the House of Representatives is projected to have zero Black Republican members—a shift driven by retirements, state race pivots, and primary losses like that of Michigan candidate Amir Hassan. In our latest episode of Trey’s Table, we break down what happened in Michigan’s 8th District, how primary voters reacted to Hassan’s background, and why a political monopoly on any community’s vote leaves voters overlooked or taken for granted. We also look back at Gen. Colin Powell’s iconic 2008 commentary on why religious bigotry has no place in American democracy. 🎧 Listen to the full episode now on all podcast platforms! Link in bio.

    Trey’s Table Episode 450: Sam and Dave

    Behind the glitz, the glamour, and the platinum records of the music industry lies a hidden history of exploitation. 🎶 In our latest episode, we dive deep into the legendary soul duo Sam & Dave—their meteoric rise, their unforgettable hits like "Soul Man," and the predatory contracts that left them fighting for the wealth their art created. But this isn't just a story about the past. We trace the line from the predatory "recoupable expenses" of the 1960s to how modern icons like Beyoncé, and director Ryan Coogler have completely rewritten the script to take control of their own intellectual property and ownership. True freedom means owning your masters and your narrative. 👉 Click the link in the bio to listen to the new episode now! #TreysTable #SamAndDave #BlackHistory #MusicHistory #Beyonce #RyanCoogler #SinnersMovie #PodcastsOfInstagram #BlackCreatives
