Episode 31: Battle Born!

Since we’re practicing social distancing now there’s more time to record (see: corona), aka this is an extra long episode. Join as I recount my recent trip to Nevada, Utah, and apparently a sliver of Arizona?? I’ll show the pics of my non-intentional night hike, and talk about how the ‘gram is a better place despite my fears.

Episode 29: Milli Cinematic Universe!

I decided to bring all of my thoughts on recent films into one episode! I start off with a brief review of Liberty in a Soup by Alexis Dudley: a beautiful documentary that tells the story of the Haitian revolution. Then I go into a rant about the DCU and Joker, ending the episode praising Birds of Prey for being the girl power comic adaptation that we’ve been waiting for! Once again I employ my dual stars/tears rating system to give you the people the reviews you’ve been waiting for. Outro song: Sway with Me by Saweetie ft. GALXARA from the Birds of Prey Soundtrack.

Episode 28: White People were BIG MAD this Week

*Disclaimer: When referencing white people in this episode I’m talking prejudiced, willfully ignorant white Americans who aren’t POC. That being said, join us as we discuss the several reasons why white people were mad including Nancy Pelosi and how they “couldn’t understand” the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Other disclaimer: exploitive filled episode.

Episode 27: TGIF (Thank God it’s February)

Honest to God, I’m so glad February is finally here! We start off with a moment of silence for Kobe, Gigi, and the other victims of the helicopter crash. We then delve into the new month very happy to leave January behind, and discuss Super Bowl LIV-mania here in Miami. Of course the music (1st of tha Month, Crossroads by Bone-Thugz-N-Harmony) is not owned by me.

Episode 15: Chewin the Fat

I am sooooo excited for the first of many in the Sugarbeat Summer Series ☀️ It’s basically me with friends trying to beat the summer heat. Today I have several guests at the same time so my apologies now for the audio. One of those guests being Sofie, who makes her Sugarbeat debut. Here’s THAT Maluma commercial: youtu.be/uHNvlyZ87VI We discuss the nuances behind referring to a man as a redbone. You’ll find this leads us down the idiom/colloquialism rabbit hole and hijinx ensues. www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Redbone Urban Dictionary, please sponsor this podcast 😂

Jul 03, 201953:05

Episode 14: Be Prepaaaaaaaared

Your eyes do not deceive you, two episodes in just one week! I talk about this awesome crowdfunding campaign (https://wefundblack.com/projects/soul-food-market/), everyone and their mom (or rather my mom) kept interrupting me, even Sunny disrupts my recording: Top 10 Anime Betrayals. And as hurricane season starts we do an obligatory ‘please do some hurricane prepping’ PSA.

Episode 13: Spoilerific Endgame Review

I think it’s safe to say that if you haven’t seen the movie and listening to this episode you’ve made a big mistake. This episode is ALL SPOILERS. So spoiler alert 😬 That being said, come on a journey where I try to review the movie by memory and hijinx ensue! Endgame: A movie so good it made me feel the feels all the way through the second time. I’m definitely sticking with the original rating I gave it. Listen to me as I talk myself through my emotions after this movie!

Also: I feel super silly because I've had this episode sitting in drat mode for like 3 weeks now. Enjoy!

Episode 12: MCU Love Letter

“To All the Marvel Boys I’ve Loved...”
This is a general review of the entire MCU and what it means to me! This is my love letter. I’m so thankful to the house that Stan Lee built and what they have contributed to the comic and cinematic culture.
Intro Song: Amigo by Roberto Carlos
Outro Song: I Ain't Mad At Cha by Tupac

Episode 11: Paris Holds the Key to my Heart!

Hey guys I just wanted to do a little homage to Paris and the Notre Dame! I love Paris so seeing those videos of the cathedral in flames was deeply saddening. But alas, there's hope! Come for the Notre Dame facts, stay for the Paris story time. You know how I do.

Episode 10: The Nipsey Hussle Effect

This episode is extra long, I guess I had a lot to say. The main takeaway is: let’s make Nip proud. Let’s celebrate each other, love ourselves, love one another, and help each other reach our fullest potential. Edit: Just found out that BET will be airing Nipsey Hussle’s memorial at 1 PM EST. It will also be streaming on BET.com and their FB. I’ll be reposting the info on IG as well.

Happy New Year you guys! Coming off the airport runway, I come bearing stories about my time in Colombia, the importance of traditions, and a little encouragement on how to take your resolutions way beyond the first month of the year.
