Live with Dana!

2021 shenanigans, Ava DuVernays new podcast Leap Files, law enforcement accountability, the Texan storm, and Dad Men.

Dana shares more of her poetic flow.

Dana brings out her poetic chops in this spoken-word piece. When the stages are roped off and the mics are off and poetry lives inside of you, you do what you have to do.

In this take, Dana shines some light and takes #blacklove to task.

In this episode, Dana takes to task those who are really responsible for the abuse and mistreated of our girls and it is not who you think.

In this episode, Dana shines a light on the warring role black women have in society and emphasizes the need for healing and personal restoration.

Dana is giving it straight, no chaser on this one! Dropping the data and statistics no woman or man can ignore. The protectors and providers of society have failed. They were never supposed to be given the protecting and providing job in the first place. Rise up WoMan!

Trust and believe this cry for unity is nothing more than a demand for submission. A demand that we accept and submit to abuse, mistreatment, horror, fascism, and unlawfulness. After all, from the conception of this country, it has been the American way.

Dana weighs in with her take on Marco Rubio's cry for understanding and compassion for the thugs who stormed the capitol, kicked down doors, broke windows, defecated in offices and smeared in on the walls, stole items, terrorized party leaders, and killed a police officer.

In Love Note #1, Dana encourages black men to let go of the chains of patriarchy and cautions men about dating women who have "daughter energy". Jacob messaged and asked what exactly is daughter energy because he had never heard the expression. Dana pulls out the dictionary and drops some 411 and a whole lot of common sense.  Black men, let it go. PARTNERS, SPONSORS, FRIENDS. Get your financial house in order with CHASE BANK.

In this discussion, we begin to dissect white privilege, define it, and identify its advantages and disadvantages for white people and people of color and how it can be used to heal us all. What is it? : the set of social and economic advantages that white people have by virtue of their race in a culture characterized by racial inequality.  How was it obtained? And here, in white racism, was a shame of truly epic proportions—the shame of white supremacy that for centuries so squeezed the world with violence and oppression that white privilege was made a natural law.— Shelby Steele What doesn't it mean? ...by discussing the reality of white privilege, we're not negating or invalidating other hardships that may come with each individual's circumstances. Rather, we intend to shed light on the reality that white people are granted rights (whether they're subtle or obvious), immunities, and opportunities by their skin color, regardless of whether they asked for that privilege or not.— Mehak Anwar What does it mean? White privileges are the relative advantages racism affords to people identified as white, whether white people recognize them or deny them. To be white is to be afforded one's individuality. Afforded the presumption of innocence. Afforded the assumption of intelligence. Afforded empathy when crying or raging. Afforded disproportionate amounts of policy-making power. Afforded opportunity from a white network. Afforded wealth-building homes and resource-rich schools. Afforded the ability to vote quickly and easily.— Ibram X. Kendi Salve : an ointment used to promote healing of the skin or as protection How can white people use it to move the needle equality forward? Discussing... What does an action plan look like? Discussing... **********************************************************

The Live with Dana podcast will be spending a significant amount of time in healing conversations the first part of the year.  Conversations with righteous leaders, political influencers, thought leaders, moms, dads, Americans. We will be talking about our path forward and how it is essential that our white brothers and sisters listen more and use their white privilege to move us all forward. These conversations may be heavy at times but we have to do the heavy lifting. One heart, one mind, one soul at a time. I want you to do more than subscribe and follow. I want you to participate. ************************************************ Partners, Sponsors, and Friends. CHASE BANK.
