Learning to Show Up for Others Like We Wanted Others to Show Up for Us
In Haitian creole, we call home, "Lakay." It has a certain ring to it especially in concert with Lekol (school) and Legliz (church).

Really? Are Modern Black Men Trash?

We are saving that with a few special guests in future episodes. Our goal is to confront our issues with a mirror in order to force the reflection to take action. Lovely Merdelus does her best to keep Alainta and Lawrence from fighting yet again, with some poignant introspective ideas.…

Contrary to popular belief, Jollof rice is not that good, says Lawrence Delva-Gonzalez. He wanted to make that clear before all of Nigeria bans him from any future travel. Along with Ghana and Senegal, he truly deserves it. Lovely Merdelus tried to warn him but he didn't listen. However, this is still a good conversation about Finances in the Diaspora and what we all can do to learn from each other. The goal of the podcast is to expose people to the novel idea of thinking for ourselves, finding 90% of the ways we agree and accepting 10% of the ways we disagree with each other. Is Jollof just rice…
