UnCuT And RaW

Dear mama, what is your definition of the role of mother’s? In times where we solely depend on our mother's for everything, not once can we say we've never wanted to be around our mama. Mama is a force to be reckoned with, a head honcho, the other half of your DNA that made you. She is the connection that held you inside of her for 8-9 months until it was time to be born into the world. That connection still remains ever spiritually between the two, even when the cord has been severed. We all know we love our strong, independent, and loving mothers because they are the ones in the end who hold it down when things get hard. She is beyond words that can describe. On this episode of UnCuT & RaW podcast, we switch the roles and get down to the topic of our 'Dear Black Mothers', and to get a more up close insight experience on this subject. We've invited our special guest Sabrina to give us an up close personal experience of her life on Motherhood. These are question we voice our opinions on, because again we must face the reality that children are in dire need of their parents both Father & Mother. Questions on top of Questions and it needs to be talked about it, and we will speak on it! And so you may want to tune into this one because this here is Uncut & Raw.

And we are back again with another "Black Love Matters", series episode here on UnCuT & RaW podcast! In this episode we present you with the 'Engaged Edition', featuring our Special guest Marva & Aaron, who have been recently engaged! So what way better way than to celebrate their BIG congratulatory engagement ? Is by having them come on and discuss their experience of course, as we dive into the topic of "Black Love", we get a first tell tale of this incredible couple's love story on how they met, and how did it lead all the way up to being engaged ? And if you may recall, back in grade school for some of you the old nursery rhyme some of us may know of..."First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in the baby carriage", did that ring any bells for you ? If so then you should have a grasp on when you know that you've found that one person, who you wanna spend the rest of your life with. So again we as a Black community, must embrace, support, encourage, and most importantly love, especially "Black Love", but we definitely see that black love still exists in a world full of negativity and not enough positivity when it most needed. So we ask you the audience whose reading and listening to this episode..."What does love mean to you ?", and as we end on that note, we certainly appreciate this strong-hearted melanin King & Queen for taking the time to share their love story and so much more. And we hope to those of you out there who is reading & listening to this episode, can learn and be inspired by there love as there is nothing more incredible than the unification of "Black Love".

Welcome back Family! And thank you for tuning into our continued series of "Black Love Matters", here on UnCuT & RaW podcast! We wanted to continue this episode series by jumping into the Gay community aka the LGBT and hearing from a same sex Black couples perspective more highly so this kind of love has over the years for Men & Woman has had many in denial, bias, being stereotypical, & homophobic in reference on this love as well. Even more so for same sex Black couples, it seems that one can get away with it versus the other or so some folks may say, but is it really ? That's where we come in, by diving into one of the most unaddressed issues that we as a Black community never discuss as we previously mentioned in our last episode. And in addition, it seems it is not just heterosexual black couples being given a hard time but also ones who are attracted to the same sex, so again one of the most asked questions is..."What does love mean to you ?", especially when you are looked at among many being a black couple. Does black love still exist ? Can people of the same sex fall in love with each other naturally ? In a world where it seems that folks can't stand to see the impossible...possible, but as the saying goes "Love is Love, and it is the universal language of all languages". Which is why we've invited our incredible special guests Khetinspiresfit & Fanta aka F.A! They have definitely brought the real and honest truth from their own experiences unto the show, we solely appreciate this powerful same sex black couple for taking the time to share their life experiences with us, and we certainly admire them for giving us an amazing first look experience on their love. And we hope to those of you out there who is reading & listening to this episode, can learn and be inspired by there love as well as our previous episode which is out and streaming "Black Love Matters: Marriage Edition", there is nothing more incredible than the unification of "Black Love".

What is your definition of a 'Father Figure ?', I know for a lot of us it is someone we depend on, look up to as our hero and definitely a protector when harm comes our way. On this episode of Uncut & Raw, we dive into a topic that seriously needs to be brought to light because as we all know we love our strong, independent, and loving mothers, but what about the fathers ? Where are they ? Why are they not given the same treatment that the women are given especially of dark skin complexion ? These are question we voice our opinions on, because let's face it children are the real victims here, they are the face of bringing change, to the Future. So why is it that we are so quick to attack, the Father head of the Totem Pole ? Questions on top of Questions and it needs to be talked about it, and we will speak on it!

What does "Friendship" mean to you ? How did it start ? In today's society the word friend has little to any true meaning at all for most of us, as we're surrounded by people who pretend that they wanna have any affiliation with us a.k.a. be our friend. But we on Uncut & Raw, wanna shed light on this subject by providing our voices of opinion on how friendships should be cherished and valued in this day and age.  Music Featured in this episode - "Thank Your For Being A Friend", by Cynthia Fee.  ***WE DO NOT OWN RIGHTS TO THIS MUSIC***
