This week, I’m not talking alone — I’ve got the panel in the building.We’re giving flowers to Black figures who’ve made a real impact on our history ✊🏿 while reflecting on legacy and loss. Then we dive straight into the headlines — the government shutdown AGAIN (when are we tired?), award show controversy that had everybody heated, Tyra Banks catching heat from the internet, and yes… another Scream movie. At this point, who’s surviving more — Ghostface or America?Nothing is off limits. No scripts. Just real perspectives, real reactions, and barbershop-style debates from people who aren’t afraid to say what they think.And of course, we close it out with Words to the Wise — where unsolicited advice is fully welcome. Sometimes you need to hear what you didn’t ask for.It’s culture. It’s chaos. It’s conversation.Tap in.
