This week on Black and Published, Nikesha speaks with jarrett hill and Tre'vell Anderson, the authors of, Historically Black Phrases: From "I Ain't One of  Your Little Friends" to "Who All Gon Be There?" Tre'vell and jarrett both have backgrounds in journalism and they are the hosts of the award-winning podcast FANTI. Their book chronicles the living language of Black people and how we bend a phrase to entertain, uplift, or sometimes to hurt and harm. 

In our conversation, they discuss how they've found validation in their careers even when being written off as diversity hires. Plus, what they say job security looks like as a Black creative. And giving credit where credit is due to the marginalized community they say is often exploited and stolen from that they worked to honor through the pages of their book.

Journalist and FANTI co-host Tre'vell Anderson sits down with Cameron to discuss their new book HISTORICALLY BLACK PHRASES: FROM 'I AIN'T ONE OF YOUR LIL' FRIENDS' TO 'WHO ALL GON' BE THERE?'

In 2001's Two Can Play That Game, Vivica A. Fox plays Shanté Smith, a confident, self-possessed woman who narrates the film by barreling the camera and telling the audience just how it is. A middle-schooler at the time, Shar Jossell (now a journalist and the co-host of We See Each Other: The Podcast), heard Shanté speaking to her in more ways than one. And what she heard changed her life.

That, plus one quick thing about the new movie SHEROES.

The #FantiFam is off this week but we have one of our absolute favorite episodes from the vault for you! 

This week, we chat with journalist and friend of the show Shar Jossell about the term All Black Lives Matter—an expression of inclusion meant to amplify the voices of Black Trans people and others who face violence in the community. It’s been met with some push-back, specifically by those who say it reminds them a little too much of the All Lives Matter movement as a silencing tactic in opposition to #BlackLivesMatter.

Max Fun Podcast Crossover Alert! It’s the delightful Tre’vell Anderson (Fanti), who indulges JV’s Model U.N. fascination, talks current events (wow, what a month June has been!), and about finding your way to yourself.

This week, we continue our "Proud to Be an American?" series. We're talking to Brian De Los Santos, digital strategist at the Desert Sun and the West Coast social lead for the USA Today Network, about his Latinx experience. We’re talking about the ways he engages pride, patriotism, and simply existing as Americans.

He talks to us about his experience as an undocumented American, the push and pull some Latinx Americans feel/face in terms of being viewed as "American" enough and the way his parent's generation experienced American patriotism differs from his own understanding of the country that he calls home.

Plus, we'll hear from other listeners within the Latinx community who tell us about their own unique experiences with American pride.

EPISODE NOTES

READ Brian De Los Santos’s piece in The Los Angeles Times: I was 9 when my parents told me I was undocumented. With DACA ending, I have no idea what's next

DIS/Honorable Mentions

Jarrett has an honorable mention for Ms. Tabitha Brown and her inspirational videos. Go to all her socials and watch a few videos. Watch all of them, if you want to. That ain't none of our business! Also, shout-out to J. August Richards. His new show Council of Dads features a black gay male couple raising children. The actor recently game out as gay.

Jarrett also has an honorable mention for the always cool Babyface and a "Make it make sense, Jesus!" to Teddy Riley for their Versuz performances this week on IG Live.

And lastly, Jarrett would like to give an honorable mention to everyone out there for their warm birthday wishes! 

This week, Tre'vell would like to give a hearty church clap to the series finale of Lee Daniels' Empire. The show, which debuted in 2015, just wrapped production. Also, an honorable mention to RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12 contestant Widow Von'Du who turnt it out in a lip sync for her life in front of none other than Chaka Khan!

A Dishonorable Mention goes out to the states opening up early. This includes Georgia, Texas and the Tre’vell’s home state of South Carolina. Stay safe, y'all.

Tre'vell Anderson (FANTI podcast) joins Jordan and Jesse for a discussion of the mystery brewing at Jordan's aquatics center, the uniting quality of the books everyone read growing up, and the innovative technique Tre'vell used in the past to drink Kool-Aid.

Plus, Tre'vell's new podcast, FANTI, is getting rave reviews from Linda Holmes! Check it out! 

Welcome to FANTI, a podcast about being a fan when the people and things you love don’t always do right! Your hosts, Tre’vell Anderson and Jarrett Hill are here to help you navigate the complex and complicated conversations about the gray areas in our lives. 

In our first episode Tre’vell shares the story of an Iowa Democratic Caucus voter who somehow didn’t know Mayor Pete is gay in a segment called Pass the Popcorn. Our FANTI topic for the week is Kevin Hart, as we revisit his Oscars controversy and discuss how he’s still navigating the consequences a year later. And make sure to stick around for our segment Dis/Honorable mentions where we’ll shout out (and sometimes shout at) those who made the news this week.

Sometimes the people, places, and things we love don't love us back. We're fans, but we also have some ANTI- feelings toward them. Every week on FANTI, journalists Tre'vell Anderson and Jarrett Hill bring their pop culture and political expertise to things we must stan and stand up against. FANTI is a place where nuance reigns supreme with energetic, complicated, and sometimes difficult conversations that bring deep knowledge and thoughtful perspective to the things we love and rage about, from the White House to the Real House(wives).

Coming soon to Maximum Fun.
