Momba Raw and Unfiltered

Mind Palaces and Minefields: Still Hanging From the Cross, 365 Days Later

What you are about to hear is not just a return episode. It is a checkpoint. A record. A raw reflection on what it means to step back from the machine, hear yourself think again, and come back to find the signal still moving across borders without permission. In this episode, Momba returns after a quiet stretch of choosing health, water, books, rest, and real life over constant visibility and digital "connection." What unfolds is a deeper meditation on empire, digital disobedience [https://a.co/d/05Y4C47V], the feed as a weapon, the Jesus contradiction, global convergence and division, engineered apathy, decolonization, community, and the real-life Hunger Games people keep pretending are fiction. While she was offline, the map kept stretching. Senegal. Ecuador. Nigeria. Brazil. Vietnam. Cameroon. Russia. Argentina. New countries, new ears, new movement without forcing, chasing, or promoting. What does it mean when a raw, unfiltered message cuts across borders, systems, languages, and places where being awake to power carries real weight? What does it mean when people in different districts of empire still recognize the same signal?  This episode continues the thread of Still Hanging From the Cross: The Ressurection They Preach But Refuse to Practice [https://www.podpage.com/MRUpodcast/blog/still-hanging-from-the-cross-the-resurrection-they-preach-but-refuse-to-practice/], written and published on her blog, My Mind Palace [https://www.podpage.com/MRUpodcast/blog/], on Easter Sunday last year,  and pushes it further. Less reflection for reflection’s sake, more diagnosis. More record. More cultural autopsy in real time. From the tightening grip of authoritarianism to the laundering of violence through policy, faith, media, white supremacy, and tech, this episode  reveals the growing urgency to document, connect, and tell the truth while we still can.

Community Spotlight: The Power of Words — A Conversation on Remembering with Author Netta Fei

What you are about to hear… is the very first Community Spotlight on this podcast—born from a cold DM, shared space on Substack, and instant alignment. This exchange with Netta Fei was not scripted or planned. It unfolded naturally and centers on the power of words: how language carries energy, how it reveals intention, how it builds (or breaks) community—and how remembering is a form of wealth. We also get into legacy: her father’s wisdom, the stories that live in our bones, and why The Book of BURNETT is a timely blueprint for living well, fully, and without regret. This is not a stiff interview. It's a real conversation about truth, discernment, and connection—through writing, through intention, through the communities we build, as well as what becomes possible when people choose to show up authentically in online spaces. But mostly, it's about how we come back to ourselves—through the word. *This conversation continues beyond the audio.

The Power of Connection

This episode wasn’t planned. It was provoked. Literally recorded from my iPhone 14 Pro Max with an air purifier running in the background.  What you’re about to hear is a transmission that poured out of me after a powerful voice-note and text convo with a brother in Africa. We weren’t on the phone. We didn’t FaceTime. But what we shared cracked something open in me. And out came this. A few hours later, I wrote and released a shard from my forthcoming book Coded for Extinction, [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FB465PNS] titled: “Who Taught Us to Worship WiFi? We Used to Build Pyramids. Now We Build Platforms.” [https://open.substack.com/pub/tbwritingasblakkmomba/p/who-taught-us-to-worship-wifi?r=4w6g0m&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false] (Click the link to read on my Substack) But this episode? This is the why. Why that shard came out. Why I’m saying what I’m saying. Why this might just make you uncomfortable — especially if you see yourself in what I’m about to say. This is not safe content. It might trigger you. It might piss you off. It might hit a nerve you been trying to numb for years. Listen at your own risk. And if the shoe fits? Then rock them shits. I said what I said — because I love us. And I’m tired of watching us sleepwalk into extinction, dancing for empire like we don’t know who the hell we are. If you want to see the screenshots from that convo that sparked this all, you can find them on the event post on my Facebook page. [https://www.facebook.com/share/1CwHsivEUv/] 🖤 Stay awake.

Kings Unchained: Black Love, Unfiltered-Healing Wounds & Embracing Growth

What happens when a Black Man dares to heal out loud and speaks on love from a place of that healing—not ego, not survival? What you are about to hear is a conversation we don’t get to hear enough. One that jumps down the rabbit hole of Black Love—Unfiltered. No scripts. No ego. No performance. Just truth, healing, and hard-earned wisdom from a man who’s done the work and continues to do it. In this episode of Kings Unchained, I chop it up with certified healing journey and relationship coach Derrick Jones for a real, unguarded look into what Black love looks like when it’s no longer rooted in survival—but in intention. We talk about the emotional damage passed down through generations, the pressure on Black men to be strong but never soft, and what it takes to lead with love after years of being misunderstood.  We’re not tiptoeing around the hard stuff. We’re diving into it. Because too many of our brothers were taught to shut down instead of open up. And too many of us are out here trying to build something real with pieces that were never allowed to heal. This isn’t about gender wars and finger-pointing. It’s about reflection. It’s about being honest enough to ask: What have we learned about love—and what do we want to unlearn together? If you’re tired of surface-level talk—this is for you. If you’ve ever loved or been loved by a Black man—this is for you. If you are a Black man navigating love and healing—this is definitely for you. And If you’re ready for a conversation that pulls back the layers and goes deeper—press play. This conversation is honest. It’s necessary. And it’s happening now. 🎧  Listen + Share + Stream on all platforms 🌫️🐇 Follow Derrick Jones of Sit Down and Heal Coaching: * 🌐 Website [https://sitdownandheal.mvt.so/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJ9Eb1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFKNVJycjdmamNsYzN1YnA2AR4ir3eaHZoaR4tmRqp-P_m-Uejvr0LeGJSbfGTUHxtac6Zhdos4oP1tAEkqaA_aem_P5T5V6M1fvpITYfPdjacOA] * 🎵 TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@sitdownandheal?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc] * 📘 Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/sitdownandheal] * 📺 YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@sitdownandheal] Text Momba Your Raw and Unfiltered Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2115262/fan_mail/new] Support the show [https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=L83SEAS3SVXFC] The BlakkMomba Effect Uniiverse 🌳 Biosite LinkTree [https://bio.site/TheBlakkMombaEffect] 🌐 MRU Website (Guest Application) [https://www.podpage.com/MRUpodcast/guests/intake/] 📘 Read to Resist — Books by T.B., writing as BlakkMomba [http://blakkmombabooks.com] 📳 Subscribe to Digital Disobedience on SubStack [https://substack.com/@blakkmomba] 🛒 Shop the Merch.

Kings Unchained: The Prelude

What you are about to hear is a raw, unfiltered offering—part love letter, part battle cry, part spiritual reckoning. In this powerful prelude to Kings Unchained, Blakkmomba returns from hiatus, not by plan, but by divine pull. What poured out was over 9,000 words of truth, pain, poetry, and purpose—dedicated entirely to Black men.  This monologue is the heartbeat of Chapter 3 of Momba Raw and Unfiltered. It is the “why” behind Kings Unchained. It is the smoke signal. The code blue. The moment where silence ends, and authentic storytelling begins. You’ll hear a voice full of reverence, urgency, and love—a voice that refuses to let the world continue to overlook the power, pain, and possibility in Black men. In this episode, you’ll experience: The spiritual and creative spark that birthed Kings Unchained, a poetic free thought, 9,000-word monologue honoring Black masculinity in all its complexity, a call to witness, protect, and elevate the emotional truth of Black men, the foundation and soul mission behind this season, and a reminder that these conversations are for everyone, not just Black men. This season is for the brothers who’ve been misjudged, mislabeled, misunderstood. It’s also for the people who love them, learn from them, raise them, and walk beside them. Because when Black kings rise, we all rise. Momba Raw and Unfiltered is available on all digital streaming platforms.
