Me My Thoughts and Eyes

A Voteless People

What's good y'all? What's been on my mind lately (and will remain for at least the next month) is this election. I'm sure it's the same for y'all too. I'm frustrated at the debate but even more so at folks who remain apathetic about voting and are trying to spread that apathy.

Support Ya Own

Lately I've been thinking about the podcasting game and supporting independent Black and other POC podcasts.  Other than that, my mind has been preoccupied with Insecure, spam emails and Zaxby's.

Leadership

It's been a minute... OK maybe 60, but I've been thinking a lot lately.  In this current moment, leadership has been on my mind a lot.  Specifically around Black movements.  Take a listen and let me know what you think.

LB Bizness, Chicken Beef and Black Lady Sketches

Yo! So on my mind this week is the return of the legendary hip-hop group Little Brother! I mostly share my excitement about the surprise album of this group that's pretty important to me.  I also give my thoughts so far on A Black Lady Sketch Show and the ongoing Chicken Wars.  This will be my last episode for a while as the semester has started back and I need to get into the zone.

NOWzine and Church Stories

What it dew babeee!!!??  On my mind this week is the excellence that is NOWzine, a publication that I had the honor of contributing to.  So I share my excitement for that as well as my praises for Jacques Nyemb who gave me the opportunity to make a dream come true.  I also share a story about a time I accidentally went to conservative white church.  Take a listen and tell me what you think. Here's the link to Not So Super Pub where you can purchase NOWzine and other amazing comics by Jacques https://notsosuper.pub/ [https://notsosuper.pub/] Also, follow him on Twitter @jnyemb and @NotSoSuperPub As always, you can follow me on Twitter @ThoughtsandEyes [https://twitter.com/thoughtsandeyes] Follow the blog at www.MeMyThoughtsandEyes.wordpress.com [http://www.memythoughtsandeyes.wordpress.com/] Email: MeMyThoughtsandEyes@gmail.com
