Big Mama's House: Matriarchy In the Black Community

Big Mama's House: Matriarchy In the Black Community

From writing birthdays in the back of her Bible to cooking for the family on Sundays: Big Mama has always been a record keeper and space maker. It was in her living room, backyard, and kitchen that we learned what we come from, who we are, and everywhere we could go. Tonight, we sit with Ms. Suzan Bradford Kounta to discuss matriarchy and Black women’s history in leadership. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Privacy in the Digital Age

How much privacy do we give up on a daily basis? With the social media encouraging us to share out every move, are we giving away too much information? Tonight, we sit with our local cyber security expert, Cousin Kenny. We discuss the events that led to privacy becoming optional and what you can do to protect yourself. Believe us, it will take a little more than a private page.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Blocks, Barbershops, and Beauty Salons

Historically, Black people’s whereabouts have always been a concern in the US. Where we are, how we are, and who we are have been subjects of debates in courthouses and churches. The one thing that held true was that we created and held space for ourselves even when the world didn’t. But what happens when our homes away from home shut their doors? Tonight, we explore the significance of Black thirds spaces and what the cost could be if we don’t continue to create them.

Be Well: Our Ancestors' Wildest Dream

Are we overlooking one of our ancestors’ wildest dreams? When we consider the brutality forced upon Black bodies, wellness looks a lot less like a luxury and more like progress. How many of our ancestors just wanted to be okay? How many of them just wanted to go a day without waking up in pain? Tonight on Tripp After Dark, we sit with Sal Reedus and Cortland Mullins to discuss what it means to be well. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
