Marcus Garvey: Immigrant. Organizer. Threat

Ballots, Bombs & Black Women

In this episode I discuss the U.S. and Isreal attack on Iran and put it in historical context. We zoom out to see what's really going on and why. Ohio primaries are coming up so I give some important dates to look out for. I'm also not done celebrating black women, and during what better time than Women's History Month. This one is on the activist, the icon, the revolutionary Angela Davis. Tune in, it's a good one!

Ida B. Wells

This week, I’m honoring Ida B. Wells — the investigative journalist who exposed the truth about lynching when telling the truth could cost you your life. After her friends were lynched in Memphis in 1892, she used data, reporting, and fearless writing to dismantle the lies that justified racial terror. Her work reshaped journalism and civil rights history — even as she was pushed to the margins. In this episode, I’m breaking down her story and why her name deserves to be centered, especially during Black History Month.

The Haitian Revolution

This week on Rooted in Reality, we’re diving into the Haitian Revolution — one of the most powerful freedom movements ever fought. We break down how it started, the leaders who organized it, and how formerly enslaved people defeated empire to create the first Black republic. And we connect that history to right now — to conversations about race, migration, resistance, and what true freedom has always required. This isn’t just history. It’s a reminder of what people are capable of when they decide they’ve had enough.

Marcus Garvey: Immigrant. Organizer. Threat

This week on Rooted in Reality, I’m breaking down the life and legacy of Marcus Garvey — a Jamaican immigrant who helped build Pan-Africanism, Black pride, and global Black political power. I talk the UNIA, the Black Star Line, his conflicts with other leaders, and how the U.S. government worked to shut his movement down. Perfect for Black History Month — and necessary for right now

Back On The Yard ft. Maya

This week we're back on the Yard with my girl Maya, continuing the HBCU series. Sit back, relax, and join us in reminiscing our time at the illustrious Howard University.
