   Black History Isn't Trending: It's Bleeding Part One

   Yoo what's up everyone, I’m back! Hello 2026 and Happy Black History Month! I’m pumped to share the mic with two friends and first time guest, Sale’h and Chelly, for a special episode that goes beyond facts into urgent action. Today we’re breaking down some heavy topics: a racist meme targeting the Obamas, the unequal responses we see to racialized imagery, and the recent deadly shootings by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis that have shaken communities and sparked national outrage. We’ll talk about how these events reflect systemic neglect of Black grief — and we’ll walk through real, practical steps our communities can take for change. Hold on fam, this one’s controversial!
