Episode 6 - Sticks and Stones...and Steel

A week ago the world lost King T'Challa, Chadwick Boseman. In honor of one of the most unifying displays of art for Black Americans and Africans, we are dropping part two of Tami & Abi's conversation on the intersections of Blackness from the Continent to the States.

In a deluxe episode, Tami is joined again by her far left brother, Marcus. While the host rocks pink and green from head-to-toe, they discuss the racial, cultural, political, ideological and personal implications of Kamala Harris being named the Democratic nominee for Vice-President of the United States.

One of Tami's oldest friends, Abiosseh, calls in from Nairobi, Kenya to join this week. A Black Steel Magnolia in her own right, Abi discusses the relationship between Africans and Black Americans with Tami, sprinkled with pop culture and their personal history.

In Episode 6, Tami talks about the impact of words on the internet and making commitments to ourselves in this stressful and complicated time.

June was a month...a whole month. But Tami is back with new cover art and a few "Per my last email" reminders such as black lives matter, Kanye is a clown and COVID19 is real, it's really real y'all.

It's been a tough week for Black people in the US. In Episode 4, Tami and her grown little brother, Marcus, link up after a weekend of leading protests in their respective cities (LA and Memphis) for a late night virtual chat filled with "super leftist liberal" politics and some soul healing laughs.

Episode 3. Tami shares her early morning thoughts and feelings on the killing of George Floyd.

Episode 2 takes a different pace as Tami reflects on the impact of COVID19 on workers, her family's ancestry, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and more.

In the 1st episode of BSM, Tami jumps straight into Imposter Syndrome, Joe Biden's Lift Every Voice Plan, Southern Governors & Mother's Day in quarantine. She also sings, but not really.
