🎙️ In this bold and thought-provoking (bonus) episode, Lybroan, Reynaldo, and Jon take listeners on a spirited journey through the landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) — unpacking what it really means for companies, communities, and the Constitution itself. From Costco’s booming success driven by inclusive practices to Target’s stumbles after scaling back DEI efforts, the trio explores how social responsibility directly impacts business outcomes.

But the conversation doesn’t stop at boardrooms and brand strategy. The hosts tackle deeper truths about systemic inequality, including the startling fact that women couldn’t open independent lines of credit until the 1970s. They dive into voter ID laws, equity in governance, and the often-misunderstood difference between white supremacy as a system versus individual white people.

With Jon challenging, Reynaldo illuminating, and Lybroan weaving it all together with humor and insight, this episode is both fiery and fun — packed with cultural commentary, sharp analysis, and a few expected jokes about T-shirts and algorithms.

🎧 Tune in for an honest, energizing conversation that makes you think, laugh, and question the status quo. Because understanding the past is the first step toward a more equitable future.

**Why are we still having this conversation?** Why do some white folks *still* think it’s okay to say the N-word? Who can say the n-word? And what does it mean that you can't? Is someone taking your freedom? Or does that make everyone a little more equal? In this episode, we pull no punches. It’s a raw, honest conversation about **race, language, power, privilege, and freedom** — especially when that so-called freedom comes at the expense of Black dignity and history.

🧠 **What we’re unpacking**:
* The casual use of the N-word by non-Black people — and the harm it causes
* Is the word is about *intimacy*, access, privilege, or power?
* The discomfort when White people “test boundaries” with language
* What *freedom* means when it’s wielded without historical understanding
* Why “just a word” is never *just a word*

This isn’t about being politically correct. It’s about **respect**, **context**, and the weight of words forged in centuries of violence and resistance.

💥 If you're still wondering why white folks shouldn’t say the N-word — this episode is your wake-up call. And if you already know? This is the conversation you’ve been waiting for. Also, there are #spoilers for the masterpiece that is Sinners conceived, written, and directed by Ryan Coogler. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?!

🎧 **Listen to Episode 5 now** — and let’s get real about what language reveals, and who gets to speak.

Episode 2 - 🎙️ New Podcast Episode: “Explaining Water to a Fish” 🎙️

What does it mean to be White in America? In this provocative and eye-opening episode, we explore the often-invisible contours of White American culture—how it's constructed, what it's missing, and why so many are afraid of losing something they never fully understood they had.

🔍 Questions we confront head-on:

• How do you explain water to a fish—or American culture to a White American?
• How did White Americans come to fear the loss of something they gained through systems they rarely question?

Using metaphors from martial arts to air travel, we unpack how growth, identity, and power operate in a society shaped by race—and how the journey from “white belt” to “black belt” is not just about skill, but struggle.

✊🏽 This isn’t about guilt—it’s about awareness. When Black pilots face more turbulence to reach the same cockpit, we all have a responsibility to see it. We help others by helping ourselves.

Tune in now. Challenge your assumptions. Join the conversation.
