My Brothers Keeper
In our season 4 finale, Kellz connects with Joshua Bean, President of Green Book of Tampa Bay. Green Book of Tampa Bay is a non profit who's mission is to increase Black economic vitality in Tampa Bay by connecting Black businesses and the broader community through a digital business directory. It's a nod to Victor Hugo Green's "Negro Motorist Green Book", the guidebook listing safe places for Black Americans traveling across Jim Crow America.
They talk about Green Book Tampa Bay's mission, how it's helped grow Black owned businesses and their impact on the community. As avid audiophiles and in celebration of hip hop's 50th birthday, Kellz and Joshua talk about hip hop culture and how it's influenced them.
The Next Episode
Since Day 1 of this show, I've had the privilege of speaking to a number of outstanding guest but this one will hit different. My son Jaxon will rock the mic and speak to his love of football, what the game has taught him over the years, and with 9 offers presented to play football for the next 4 years, finally reveals where he plans to take his talents and earn an education. Exciting yet bittersweet stuff y'all.
Mixed Chicks
In this episode, Rina talks with friend Alicia Pinkney about their experiences growing up as biracial and some of the challenges they experienced. They also talk about how those same challenges made shaped them into the women they are today.
I Miss The Old Kanye
Good things come to those who wait and it seems like Rina and I waiting just long enough to unleash Season 4 on ya'll. What better way to start off the new season of marauding than discussing the controversial Kanye West. Apparently, Kanye has pissed off a lot of people at his recent Paris fashion show when he wore a shirt that read "White Lives Matter" along side Black Conservative, Candace Owens. With the help of some fellow marauders, we take a look Kanye's recent actions as well as statements he's recently made to see if he's reached the point of no return amongst "The Culture" or if he's truly a "Free-Thinker".
We've finally reached the end of season 3 and we're riding off into the sunset with a bang. In our season finale, "Summer Madness", Rina and I sit down to discuss the recent repeal of Roe vs Wade with fellow Marauder Tatjana Lockhart and first time Marauder, Angela Costa. We talk about our personal feeling on the ruling, our opinions on where our country is headed and what laws could be next to be overturned.
