Season One Rewind: Is Disunity Taught?

Power, Perspective, and No Thumbs Up

Hey there! Tanisha and Elliott finally got together after almost two years to chat about the Netflix Documentary "POWER."

It was a thought-provoking conversation, and we can't wait for you to tune in and share your thoughts! This is a public episode.

Season One Rewind: Is Disunity Taught?

This was originally recorded in 2022. Tanisha shares how a misunderstanding her son had over pejorative language made her realize that he had internalized that everything unpleasant may be tied to racism. This and another interaction gave her pause and time to re-evaluate how we talk to our communities about issues. That same weekend, Elliott, still unsure if he wanted to keep doing the show, had an interaction that made him think about his perspective. It leads our hosts to talk about the lack of unity in society and the tough conversations we need to have sometimes are not just close to home but in the home itself. This is a public episode.

Season One Rewind: What's in a label?

Tanisha and Elliott process what happened in the last episode and discuss the labels we receive or self-assign. Do the labels we’re given seal our fate? How do empathy and self-knowledge weigh in? And what are the limits of each? This was originally recorded in November 2022, but some of its lessons are as fresh as ever. This is a public episode.

Abolish the Police? Season One Rewind

Empathy has its limits. Under duress, even the most skilled and kind person has a breaking point. In this episode, Elliott comes in with a point about who intervenes when the horrific happens. And when the police are enforcing laws they didn’t make, why do they catch that heat? Tanisha and Elliott both look at this conversation as a tough conversation between reckoning with reality and differing perspectives. And how can we all realistically move forward to a better society. There were technical difficulties in the raw recording, but you need to hear this. This is a public episode.
