    E111: The Hue of Magic - Ft. Kareem Bond & Desiree Jordan

    Episode 111 welcomes husband and wife Desiree Jordan, a Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and jewelry designer, and Kareem, an educator, creative director, and founder of the Vulgarik brand. The conversation explores what it means to feel safe enough to be fully seen in relationships, creativity, and life. Kareem reflects on how unconditional acceptance allowed long-held dreams to surface, while Desiree speaks to the inner work required to support a partner’s vision without overriding it. Together, they model co-creation as two whole people learning how to collaborate without losing themselves. The segment examines masculinity and healing, including the idea that when boys become men, the women around them heal, and reframes marriage not as a restriction but as a container for growth, accountability, and joy. Wellness is presented as alignment of mind, body, and spirit, with Desiree’s jewelry serving as a tangible expression of that philosophy. Rather than idealizing love, the conversation emphasizes that intimacy requires intention, communication, and choice; especially during difficult moments. It challenges limiting and adversarial narratives about men, women, and partnership while acknowledging pain, fear, and past trauma without allowing them to define the future. Ultimately, the episode is a meditation on what becomes possible when people choose authenticity, and trust, and affirms to viewers that we can do anything...and we don't have to do it alone.

    E106: The Anatomy of Fresh - Ft. Priest Da Nomad

    This segment welcomes DC hip hop pioneer, and legend Priest Da Nomad. During the episode we discuss Priest's recently completed documentary about the art scene in DC, his musical journey, and what he feels his lasting legacy will be. Priest Da Nomad is one of the pioneers of independent DC Hip Hop and the re-emergence of the U street arts scene in the 1990s. He first started publicly performing and rocking college parties in 1992 in DC clubs such as the Ritz, Kilimanjaro, and the Mirage, when DJs recognizing his skills started putting him on the mic in DJ booths at the height of parties! Priest Da Nomad was one of the first indie artists from DC to press up and release his own 12inch vinyl singles and receive mainstream mix show radio air play, without being signed to a major record label at that time. Priest made a lot of noise as a solo artist and as a member of the Freestyle Union arts organization, dedicated to elevating the art of freestyle and improvisational rhyming up and down the east coast. He was also at the forefront of the hip hop theatre movement as a member of the hip hop theatre play “Rhyme Deferred” along with posthumous legendary actor Chadwick Boseman and Apollo Theatre Director Kamilah Forbes. Priest released a number of singles and projects throughout the span of 3 decades with numerous accolades in local press, hip hop magazines and blogs. He has been written up in publications such as The Source, Billboard magazine, Sister to Sister, Rap Pages, Blaze, Washington Post, Washington Times, and numerous Washington City Paper articles, including a cover story by now national best selling author Ta-Nehisi Coates. Priest was also the subject of a book “Hip Hop as Performance and Ritual” by ethnomusicologist Dr. William E. Smith, which dealt with jazz and hip hop improvisation links to Africa.
