From Nuclear Deal to Airstrikes: The Road to the U.S.–Israel Attack on Iran

Spend Dat or Think That? The Song That Sparked a Bigger Conversation About Music, Culture & Influence

When India.Arie publicly criticised Yung Miami's viral hit Spend Dat, it ignited a passionate debate that reached far beyond a single song. Was this simply a difference of artistic opinion, or did it expose a deeper conversation about the role music plays in shaping culture? In this thought-provoking episode, I unpack the controversy while exploring the evolution of popular music, the rise of the attention economy, streaming culture, and the impact of social media on what becomes a hit. I examine whether music reflects society or influences it, discuss artistic freedom versus cultural responsibility, and consider why every generation believes the next generation's music is "going too far." Rather than choosing sides, this episode invites listeners to think critically about creativity, commerce, influence, and the power of personal choice in an ever-changing music industry.

The Long War Against Michelle Obama's Womanhood: Racism, Sexism & the Making of a Conspiracy

Following the recent controversy surrounding UFC fighter Josh Hokit's false comments about Michelle Obama, this episode explores the decades-long racism, sexism, and misogynoir she has endured. From her childhood in Chicago to her years as America's first Black First Lady, I explain how centuries-old stereotypes about Black womanhood helped fuel one of the most persistent conspiracy theories in modern politics—and what Michelle Obama's experience reveals about race, gender, and power in America today.

The Verdict: Karmelo Anthony and America's Crisis of Justice

When 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, the case ignited a fierce national debate in America over race, self-defense, and justice. As many questioned whether young Black men are too often perceived and punished as adults rather than children, the verdict became a flashpoint in a larger conversation about fear, fairness, and America's unresolved racial divide.

What Happens When Black Women Disappear?: A family’s grief & media bias in Britain

Three sisters. One tragedy. And a painful conversation about race, grief, and visibility. In this episode, I explore the deaths of Jane Adetoro, Christina Walters, and Rebecca Walters, and the wider discussions surrounding Black women, media attention, institutional distrust, and public empathy in the UK. This is not about conspiracy theories or spreading misinformation. It is an honest and compassionate conversation about why so many Black women feel unseen until tragedy forces attention.

The gravest crime against humanity : Slavery, UN Recognition, and What Comes Next

In this episode, I unpack the United Nations’ historic decision to declare the transatlantic slave trade the gravest crime against humanity. Blending history and lived experience as a Black woman, this episode explores the true scale of slavery, its lasting global impact, and the uncomfortable truths behind the UN vote. From the Middle Passage to modern inequality, and from Haiti’s debt to today’s reparations debate, this is more than a history lesson—it’s a conversation about justice. Because recognition matters, but the real question is: what happens next?
