In our mid-season finale episode, we explore Kwanzaa... what is Kwanzaa? It is a holiday that celebrates the people of African Descent over the world. We have our first guests on the show! From the Theatre Production of 'Twas the Night Before Kwanzaa', we have the Founder of Black Spectrum Theatre, Carl Clay, and my cast-mates, Tico Wells 'ChoirBoy' from the Five Heartbeats, Jade Mason and Douglas Wade. This comedy drama play is about Santa Clause being diverted to Africa, where he learns about Kwanzaa and through this masterpiece people learn so much about our Holiday. We have to connect with our heritage and apply the principles of Kwanzaa to our daily lives. Happy Kwanzaa! That is my Feloxofy!
In March 2020, The World Changed.. The Pandemic. Everything stopped. Quarantine. Businesses shut down. Social Distance. Masks. It's getting weird. TikTok. ZOOM. I discuss the Era before Corona, when everything was "normal" and how everyone manifested Vision 2020 with big expectations. It was a very intense period for the whole world. Millions of people died. Everyone was so afraid... but somehow within that time many people had long secluded periods alone by themselves. They were forced to be still. Many Changes came from that. Thats just my Feloxofy...
The End SARS protest took place in Nigeria October 2020, a few months after the George Floyd Black Lives Matter Protest. Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) is a special unit in the Nigerian police force. It has become very apparent that there is a global issue of police brutality within the black race, even in Africa; However, the discrimination is not based on race, but instead it's abuse of power and oppression of the citizens, especially the youth. This is the first time in history that the Nigerian youth have organized a national protest towards the government to tackle the endless socio-economic issues, starting with the SARS. It is the beginning of a revolution! That is my Feloxofy...
Grand Rising Kings & Queens, Welcome to The Kingdom! On our Premiere Episode, I travel back to Nigeria and got triggered with the naija cliché question "Are you married? What do you do? My daughter is a doctor...". While there is a vibrant wedding culture with strong tradition; perhaps there is also an obsession of Marriage in Nigeria? A high level of expectations of young Nigerians, from family and society, especially women, sometimes not with the intention and values of marriage but more of the ideology. That is just My Feloxofy...
