Southern VangardEpisode 410 - Southern Vangard RadioBANG! @southernvangard radio Ep410! Well this is long overdue. This was recorded the last Sunday in August, but one of Doe’s kids had his appendix out (he’s doing great btw) the day the show was supposed to post.

What I've learned with grief is that it feels like ricocheting bullets. The scope of sadness is large and it moves unexpectedly in the most random moments. As I've mentioned before, #BreonnaTaylor is a movement that will undoubtedly save more lives as we continue to fight for her justice. But she is also just a human who was taken away from her mother, her sister, her boyfriend, her friends and her family. Praying for all of those involved.

This Luvjonez produced verse scratches the surface of a marketing dynamic that many activists and community servants face. Navigating the media's bright side, which is to shine light on the good works you're doing in hopes of empowering others to serve, with the media's dark side which often misrepresents people of color and exacerbates racial stereotypes. I decided to broach this topic in this series because messaging is so important in galvanizing people around causes and movements. Non...2020-08-1500 min

Do we hold certain establishments accountable by not giving them our vote and teaching them a lesson in the long run?

Jeff Blake was a quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals who had a lot of success in his career throwing touchdowns to Bengals’ receiver Carl Pickens.. Amiri Baraka, Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, Langston Hughes and many others are passing their legacies down through artists and activist like Hannah to continue the fight!

Devine Carama"Reconstruction" (produced by Well Blended) #Breonna TaylorAgain, my vibe this week is chronicling the progression of black women from slavery to current day. Day/Verse 24 (produced by Quay Bailey) I get into the “Recontruction” period a bit.. A time when black women sought to reclaim their body and image after centuries of rape and sexual abuse from their overseers and masters. I also explored the impact that segregation had on the relationship between black men and women.2020-08-0901 min
Devine Carama"Celia's Rebellion" (produced by Well Blended) #BreonnaTaylorAgain, my vibe this week is chronicling the progression of black women from slavery to current day. One of the more diluted parts of early slavery, in regards to how it is taught in the schools, is the sexual abuse and exploitation of female slaves. Day/Verse 23 (produced by Quay Bailey) I get into that dynamic as much as I can within 16 bars. Many women were forced to succumb to the sexual desires of their overseers and slave masters in order to stay alive. However, like Celia of Missouri, many slave women fought back against sexual oppression, as they'd rather...2020-08-0901 min

Devine Carama"A Teacher of Failure Is Now A Student of Success" (produced by JK-47) #BreonnaTaylorThough the black community isn't monolithic, systemic racism has imparted on all of us in some way. One of my favorite parts of being unapologetically BLACK, is the strength and endurance that saturates the passed down blood in my veins.. Using that strength and faith to overcome my own obstacles and then using my victories to inform my gifts in hopes to help others defeat their demons... I love it. For Verse/Day 17 of my #16BarsForBreonna series, is a JK produced verse called "A Teacher Of Failure Is Now A Student Of Success".

Black women continue to be the least valued person on earth. 3 times more likely to die giving birth than their white counterparts, left to keep families together when systemic racism erradicates men from households, victims of sexual abuse, the adultification of young black girls, and the list goes on.2020-08-0201 min

Not all bias is based in hatred. Most is settled in ignorance, guilt & fragility.

Devine Carama"Say Her Name!" (produced by Luvjonez Music) #BreonnaTaylorp until recently, black women were dying and their names were simply forgotten.. For day/verse 8 of my daily #16BarsForBreonna I wrote and recorded a song called “SAY HER NAME!” The black woman is the most targeted person on earth. They disproportionately lose their life while giving birth 3 times more than their white counterparts, they are left to lead homes that systemic racism has stripped of its fathers, and are too often monolithically viewed in popular culture and music!

Devine Carama"Black Man In America" (produced by Luvjonez Music) #BreonnaTaylorToday's verse talks about the up, downs, pressures, responsibilities, and complexities of being a black man in america. Before we can protect our women and children we have to holistically find and center ourselves in a world that attempts to divide us by demonetization.2020-07-2401 min
Devine Carama"Divided We Sway, United We Slay" (produced by Luvjonez Music)#BreonnaTaylorOne of the most effective strategies of combat is divide and conquer. Black women have been under assault from many different angels off systemic oppression such as healthcare disparities and dissipated family structures. Another form I see is the pitting of black women against each other based on style, size, and skin shade. Many institutions, such as the music industry, illuminate one style of what it means to be a woman making them seem monolithic. Today's verse highlights that just a little bit. For those reading, continue shining in your uniqueness and be bold in your differences.2020-07-2301 min
Devine Carama"Folgers To The Freedom" (produced by Luvjonez Music) #BreonnaTaylorOften times in transition, whether from a boy to man, or in between different chapters in our lives we find a truth that stabilizes us in our journey. We are awaken to a knowledge that is everlasting. Many oppressed people know that they are oppressed but they don't know why. It's when they wake up and gain the knowledge of "why" that they gain the power to fight the system! This verse is dedicated to the time when I navigated my journey and finally found the truth!2020-07-2301 minDevine Carama"Civil Disobedience" (produced by Luvjonez Music) #BreonnaTaylor2020 will be remembered in the history books as not only the year of COVID, but also the year of Social Unrest.

Growing up, we are often told that if we do everything right, we can avoid negative encounters with law enforcement. But we've seen in many cases that if you are black it doesn't matter what you do compared to your white counterparts, your life could be at risk at any moment.2020-07-2001 min
