Truth Be Told: Time to Thrive

• Unwavering Love

  One of the highlights of this show was having the late famed poet Nikki Giovanni on as a guest. It felt like we were all sitting at the dining room table, soaking up her wisdom. Giovanni tackled a challenging and important question: what do you do as a nonbinary person if the place that made you doesn’t exactly accept who you are?That dilemma came from our former editor, CMD+JAZMINE, who explores their identity and faith with Giovanni. In this conversation, Giovanni shares some of her most intimate truths with CMD+JAZMINE, including her challenges with the institution of the Black church.GUESTS:CMD+JAZMINENikki GiovanniLINKS:deartbt.comInstagram: deartbtTikTok: tonyatbtEmail: [email protected]

This episode from 2022 delves into our nation’s refusal to acknowledge that the ideal, at its core, is racist. How do we get beyond the belief that bigger Black bodies are a problem? And instead, allow ourselves, no matter what size, to take up space?GUESTS:Sabrina Strings, Ph.D., scholar and author of Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia.Carvell Wallace, author and memoirist.Mozell Ward, trainer at Radically Fit.INSTAGRAM:@carvell_wallaceLINKS:deartbt.comInstagram: deartbtTikTok: tonyatbtEmail: [email protected]

• Protection

  How do we raise Black children who feel free? One way, conscious parenting coach Yolanda Williams says, is for caregivers to face their own childhood trauma. Yolanda sat down with host Tonya Mosley in 2022 to offer some actionable tips on how to raise “free-thinking Black children” - and stop the tradition of spanking as a form of discipline. We gained so much insight from Yolanda in this episode, and you will, too.  GUEST:Yolanda Williams, Parenting Decolonized INSTAGRAM:@prntgdcolonizedLINKS:deartbt.comInstagram: deartbtTikTok: tonyatbtEmail: [email protected]

• The Womb

  As of the reairing of this episode, 13 states in the US have a total abortion ban. 7 states ban abortion at or before 18 weeks' gestation. 21 states ban abortion at some point after 18 weeks.In the weeks before the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade, we sat down to talk about what body autonomy and reproductive health will look like for us in a post-Roe vs. Wade world. The stress of racism and barriers to care–including abortion care–are part of a downward spiral in reproductive justice. Too often, those stressors play out in our wombs as fibroids and cancers. We talk about seeking justice and liberation with our guests.GUESTS:Anoa Changa, journalist and writer of “What’s Next for Roe v. Wade?”Dr. Ashley Davis, Gynecologic Specialist at the Fibroid and Pelvic Wellness Center of GeorgiaOmisade Burney-Scott, healer and host of Black Girl’s Guide to Surviving MenopauseINSTAGRAM: @thewaywithanoa@ashleydavis_md @omisadeburneyscottLINKS:deartbt.comInstagram: deartbtTikTok: tonyatbtEmail: [email protected]
