Episode 10 - Being Black in 2020
So today's discussion is being Black in 2020.
Why after so many years of suppression do we still have to keep enduring suppression.
What are we doing to be better as a black community?
Why are we not supporting each other and sticking together as one?
Why has it taken George Floyd to allow us to unite?
I don't know about you but we're tired. Tired of feeling like being black is a crime. God blessed US and made US this way.
They held us captive, refused for us to be educated, made us slaves....... and still in 2020 we still fight this fight.
What can we do to be better? Take a listen and see what you can do to help.
Also if you know any black owned business that we can support and post please share them with us. There's enough money flowing in the world for us all to eat, survive and live good.
Its not about what you offer.... But what you do to make it different and your respect of others.

Episode 9 - This Thing We Call Life
Hello Guys, hope your all well and some what adapting to the norm of life.
We decided to take a Monday off, but we are back and ready to give you what we got.
Today's episode was us reasoning on life, answering questions that we thought would open our eyes to how fortunate we are and what we are most grateful for.
Sometimes it feels like we are not trying hard enough, we slack, or we live in fear of wanting to try or we just plan out procrastinate and not do anything.
Do not live in fear of your goals, set goals, work towards them, if you fail dust your self off and try again. NO ONE CAN FAIL YOU BUT YOU.
The reality is your journey and their journey is not the same. We all have our season.
Hope you enjoy
Episode 8 - Being a Child in the 21st Century
Hello guys and welcome back for our 8th episode on Talk It How It Is, my we're slowly climbing up the ladder with these episodes.
We hope you have enjoyed our content this far and aim to do better each week.
This weeks episode was a short one, as we are joined with our special guest Kiya, who is 13 years old and gives us a brief insight of what it is like being a teenager in the 21st Century.
Young Children and Parents this episode is for you. Maybe hearing another child's point of view on being a child in the 21st century can help you understand the struggles children face daily and to realise that you are not alone.
In this episode we discuss schooling, the educational system, what she finds beneficial, what she feels is missing from education and much more.
We was quiet shocked how much has not changed for children in the 21st Century and may need to find ways to make a change.
Without giving too much away please feel free to take a listen and hope that this is helpful to you and yours.

Episode 5 - Absent Fathers
At some point some of us have had the lack of or the non existence of a father figure and wanted to discuss how this affects us as grown adults.
We also discussed how this could affect children in their past, present and future decisions in life.
Does the lack of a father change a child's upbringing?
Do you think "Fathers" realise the effects they have on their child/children when they chose not to be there?
Does the lack of a father steer you in the wrong direction?
Who do you think you would have become today if you had the support of your father?
