DA KICKBACK

Ts & Ps 🙏🏾

Getting into the mess, the state of the U.S. & taking all the thoughts and prayers.  SHOW NOTES We Recommend Cherika is bringing the wisdom with KevonStage's latest book "Successful Failure" and his conversation on the "Let's Try This Again" podcast with B. Simone. It's all about how your biggest mess-ups can be the path to your biggest blessings. Sabrina is getting into some real true-crime with not one, but two podcasts for you. There's "Scamanda" podcast and Hulu documentary about a woman who faked cancer to scam her community, and "Unicorn Girl," about a woman who seemed to have a perfect life but was actually a master of deception. And finally, EB has a couple of powerful picks for the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina: the National Geographic documentary "Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time" and Spike Lee’s follow-up documentary, "If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise."  Successful Failure (Book) https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/752158/successful-failure-by-kevin-fredericks/ [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/752158/successful-failure-by-kevin-fredericks/]   Faith, Failure & Forever Love: My Candid Conversation with KevOnStage ( Let’s Try This Again with B.
