Molly Melching has lived in Senegal since 1974 and founded the international NGO, Tostan, in 1991. Tostan, meaning “breakthrough” in Wolof, implements a holistic, three-year empowering education program that has engaged over 3,000 rural African communities in themes of democracy, human rights, health, literacy and project management skills. The program has led to thousands of women holding leadership posts and over 8,800 communities in eight African countries publicly declaring their commitment to abandon harmful traditional practices.

Molly and Tostan have received international recognition for their work in the areas of social norm change and human rights education including: The Conrad Hilton Humanitarian Prize, The Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship and UNESCO’s King Sejong Literacy Prize. A New York Times best-selling book by Aimee Molloy, However Long the Night, vividly relates Molly and Tostan's story and they are also featured in Melinda Gates's 2019 book, Moment of Lift.

Nick Cannon Succumbs to The Pressure Of The Elite

In this podcast, we discussed Nick Cannon Cannon's class with the Rabbi. Nick brought on Mr. Cooper to atone for his actions of anti-semitic remarks. They discussed the mistakes of Nick Cannon's comments, The Minister, and other issues that Nick Cannon may have brought on himself and their culture, as a result of his anti cultural remarks.

Cool Water takes a deep dive into Nick Cannon's ass kissing, and his need to please the other culture for his action. We discuss the African Culture and why no matter how much ass Nick Cannon kisses, he will never reach a place of respect from their culture. We also take a look at other celebrities and how this is nothing new in the discipline that is inflicted on people who say something anti-semitic.
