Anyone who threatens the education of our 8 million black children is likely to catch these eight black hands. [Twitter: @8Blackhands1]

We want to do a show where we talk about the impact this event will have on all of us, and how we are going to cope with it. I want to talk about my personal experience as a parent, my children’s experience as a school aged child, and how we can go through this together.

Customer Reviews
Why the red "E"
Does "E" stand for explicit? When I saw all of the red E's listed next to your episodes, I nearly decided not to give it a try. The only reason I clicked on was to hear about Abbott Elementary. Now after listening to one episode, I already love it and subscribed. The conversation is relevant, has a diversity of thoughts, humurous, and intellectual. And I don't hear explicit language. By the way, I use a few curse words myself, but don't like gratuitous cursing while listening to media.
I'm just saying that the label of "E" might turn off some listeners before they give you a try.
Love the realness
Thank you for your straight talk on the state of education of black and brown children in America.
Listen! Good stuff
Give them a global platform. So much fun to listen to while hearing such good info
