    The How I Got Over Episode: The Testimonial Show

    Date / Time:

    Category: Blogs


    African American history has always fascinated and inspired me. The African American history narrative tells the story of a group of people overcoming against all odds. However, if we examine African American history closely, we find it to be comprised of millions upon millions of smaller individual narratives, narratives of people who have overcome various obstacles—to include poverty, severe illness, drug abuse, promiscuity, and a myriad other negatives—to find happiness, to find success, to find wholeness. This show features several individuals with engaging narratives of “how they got over,” of how, when facing seemingly insurmountable odds, they managed to persevere and prevail. Listen in as Nicole McLean of My Fabulous Boobies, Nina Brewton of Be Inspired, and Michael Staff of My II Sense shared their compelling narratives with you and be inspired.

    The Black Agenda Episode: State of Black Leadership in the Age of Obama

    A round table discussion on the relevance “Black Leadership” in the Obama age. Using the recent controversial and very public disagreement between Al Sharpton & Tavis Smiley on national radio, we’ll explore said controversy to expand on the idea of a “Black Agenda.” Or what exactly is a “Black Agenda”. How do we incorporate said agenda in our perceived “post-racial” society? How do we go about communicating said agenda and is said “agenda” a political liability for Barack Obama? Most importantly, we’ll discuss the division within our community caused by said agenda and try to come up with a solution as to just what is best for Black America. We’ll also explore the New York Times’ piece on the CBC, and discuss their relevancy as it relates the Black electorate at large. Are they, like “Black Leadership,” doing enough for Black America?

    Black Athletes/Black Celebs - What's really Going On?

    Years ago, Charles Barkley made the statement, “I'm not a role model...Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.” Following that statement, intense and pointed debate ensued concerning the actual roles and responsibilities of multi-millionaire athletes and celebrities in regards to the greater community. Now recent events—the fall of Tiger Woods and the curious case of one Mr. Gilbert Arenas readily come to mind—offer an occasion to revisit that debate. Do athletes and celebrities deserve the intense scrutiny that surrounds them? Should they be held more accountable for their actions than other people? Come on over and let us know what you think. The most important voice in this conversation is yours!

    Going for the Win in 2010: The New Year, Better You Show

    With our first show of the new year, we plan to work on a game plan for success for 2010. First, let’s continue our discussion on single women looking for Mr. Right - is it really an epidemic or is it just sexy marketing? Certified life coach and matchmaker Paul Brunson of onedegreefrom.me will be on hand to help us with this hot potato as will always intelligent blogger Tracy Renee Jones from mebeinganonymous.blogspot.com and tracyreneejones.com. It’s 2010, and African Americans excelling in every field, however, the images and representations of our community in the media remain negative. Where to point the finger? Or should we just look in the mirror? We also cannot forget that our co-host Michele Grant just published her first book, Heard It All Before, which hit book stores January 1st. We'll take the time to discuss her new book. Max Reddick and RiPPa are on the mic as well. So all we really need now is you… Tune in and speak up because on Freedom Through Speech Radio… the floor is yours.

    The Black Santa Episode

    If you missed last week's show, don't make that mistake again because this show promises to be red hot and just in time for Christmas. This episode we will be discussing HCR (or the lack thereof), Senator Lieberman, the president's falling poll numbers, and we also take a look forward to the 2010/2012 elections. Also, the Washington Post article "Successful, black, and lonely" has caused quite a stir around the blogosphere this week, and we think it deserves to be discussed in depth. Seattle Slim of happynappyhead.com, tracyreneejones of tracyreneejones.com, and CareyCarey of Carey Me Home will be on hand as guest hosts to lend their unique perspectives. So, log on, listen in, and above all, let your voice be heard because the most important voice in this conversation is your voice.
