Episode 39 | Why Black Panther Exposed Our Cultural Wounds ft. @TheBlackMaleJournal
In this episode, we sit down for a real, unfiltered conversation about Black Panther—not just the Marvel blockbuster, but the cultural moment it became. We explore how the film reflects our lived experiences around tradition, cultural gatekeeping, isolationism, generational shame, and what happens when progress challenges the past. From T’Chaka’s silence towards Killmonger’s rage, from Okoye’s loyalty to M’Baku’s pride—we unpack how Black Panther speaks to deeper truths in African and diaspora communities. Why do some elders speak at us, not with us? Why is innovation often shunned in favor of outdated norms? And how does culture both empower and divide?

Episode 31 | FFVII Remake & Rebirth: Facing the Whispers & Transgenerational Trauma
In this episode I brought back Prince Rose, as is a resident Final Fantasy expert, who I felt would be able to tackle the subject of the Whispers found in Remake and Rebirth. As the Whispers of the planet represent the Status Quo, to make sure both the good and bad repeat itself. Very much like Transgenerational Trauma, something I think we are all too familiar with. However, to fight generational trauma means to change our outcomes, means to "change ourselves" like Aerith said. Hope you all enjoy this conversation.

Sorry for the long wait, but this was an episode I was excited to record. Rock Lee and Deku ae two of some of my most favorite anime characters.

In this episode we discuss how my journey mirrored Rock Lee and Deku's, and how they influenced how diligent I've become in accomplishing my tasks.
