The 81 Bridge

By The 81 Bridge

This podcast will touch on various topics that affect my community, including politics, pop culture, and some sports. The 81 Bridge will introduce different perspectives. Many times there's a disconnection with communication, and someone's point of view goes unnoticed. My goal is to BRIDGE that disconnection one episode at a time. I hope you find enjoyment, inspiration, understanding, and, yes, some laughter!!!

Let Your Voice Be Heard, Go Vote!!!

The 81 Bridge is joined by a panel of voters, from different parts the country with different backgrounds, to discuss the upcoming elections and why it's important to vote this year. We touched on the voter's experience voting this year, the varying state and local policies on their ballot, voting strategies and why non-voters should participate in the political process. We, also, touched on political party loyalty and voting outside the political party.

Why Black Children Should See Themselves In Literature

Why Black Children Should See Themselves In Literature

The 81 Bridge is joined this week by Black Authors Timesha Harris and Rashaad Pritchett. We discuss the importance of Black children seeing themselves in the literature they read. Both authors highlight that they use their books to educate children about racism, stereotypes, and managing / thriving as a black person in society. I was on mommy duty, so my son made an debut at the end. Other than that, this was a very dope informative episode and I'm proud of it. When did you introduce your children to racism and stereotypes?

That Time Summer 2020 Got Entangled (Petty Payne's Takeover)

On episode 4, The Petty Paynes ( Tierra, Sylvia, and Tangeria ) stop by The 81 Bridge to discuss a few shenanigans going on in pop culture. We want to know who shot Meg and why. Was Meg and Tory entangled?? Is T.I. on drugs because 50 Cent seems to think so. T.I. want to battle him on Verzuz? We discuss who has the better catalog between the rappers. We get into the Nick Cannon backlash. Was Nick really wrong for what he said? Somehow this topic somehow led to R. Kelly (shrugs), but there is a connection. Lastly, we jump into the Jada and August relationship, I mean entanglement. We further discuss relationships and the maturity needed to have a successful relationship.
