In this episode, Shanti deepens her love of Bad Bunny and Puerto Rico while Antoinette shares another musical gem with the people. For our main topic, Antoinette kicks off Black History Month, celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King. The conversation explores the political weaponization of King's teachings to soften his radical ideology. The discussion highlights the role of white moderates and the church in the civil rights movement, the historical context of American injustice, and the ongoing relevance of King's teachings in today's society. If you need to deepen your understanding of what Dr. King represented, this is the perfect episode for you. Join us...

Description

In this episode, we are inspired by the recent conversation between podcaster Shannon Boodram and actress Cree Summer. Together, we dissect the dynamics of leadership in partnerships, the balance of masculine and feminine energies, and the challenges of relinquishing control in a relationship that lacks the safety to do so and how this lack of safety affects our notions of generosity, affection and respect.
