Culture Wars And Politics Why Our Thinking Is Necessary
Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 108 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Culture Wars and Politics: What We Must Do to be Free” Since Black folks arrived in the U.S., we have been under a cultural attack that requires our constant awareness and strategy. What we need to do, particularly in this election cycle, is be aware of how history informs the present. Our lessons from the past can help us generate strategy if we are enlightened enough to seek answers from it. For far too long, we have failed to understand the role that culture plays in our continued oppres...

Ep 107 Sankofa The Art Of Reclamation
Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 107 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Sankofa: The Art of Reclamation” What do The Book of Clarence, Cowboy Carter, and the Black Arts Movement have in common? In this episode, I talk about the role of art (and Black literacy) in multi-layered communication. (the TikTok creator I referenced about the sonar pings is @ragandboneshopoftheheart) I’d love to hear what you think about these ideas. And, if you’re really wanting to unpack the ideas around Black history, spirituality, or culture, please consider being a guest on the podcast. Send me an email at drtip@tellemtipt...

Ep 106 HBCUs Vouchers And Opportunity Districts Oh My
Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 106 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"HBCUs, Public School Vouchers, and Opportunity Districts: Oh My!” Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think something nefarious is afoot and I just want us to be watchful and prepared. The bottom line is that I think we need to specifically be thinking about institution building, maintenance, and protection when it comes to education in general, but our young people specifically. I’d love to hear what you think about these ideas. And, if you’re really wanting to unpack the ideas around Black history, spirituality, or culture, please con...

Ep 105 Womans Work And Other Reasons To Give Praise
Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 105 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Woman’s Work and Other Reasons to Give Praise.” This week is special, I just wanted to share some poetry with you in honor of Women’s History Month. This week’s poems come from Gwendolyn A. Mitchell and really share important ideas—especially for Women’s History. The reason that this episode is an abbreviated one is because I am getting ready for a banger next week! Next Sunday, I want to share some news about Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that I think we, as a community, need...

Ep 104 Whose Life Story Are You Writing
Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 104 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Whose Life Story Are You Writing?” What do the films American Fiction, One Drop: The Bob Marley Story and Mea Culpa have in common? In this episode I want to share with you my ideas about how these three films in Black culture are a model for what more of us need to be thinking about. Let me give you a hint about this week’s episode. We are either authors of our own life’s story, or we are a character in someone else’s version. This week, I want you t...

In this episode I want to share with you my ideas about how these three events in Black culture are a model for what more of us need to be doing. Did you catch all of the symbolism in Usher’s performance? How do you feel about the Queen’s country music? Did you argue with people about whether or not Willis should ha...

Ep 102 Stop Making Stupid People Famous
Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 102 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Stop Making Stupid People Famous.” This week, I want to open with a James Baldwin quote that essentially asks us to reflect on what America is doing to us. That reflection is just what this episode of the podcast is about. If you mindlessly scroll social media as I sometimes (okay, okay OFTEN) do, you’ve probably seen some of the folks I talk about this week. I’d love to hear what you think about their performances. If you’re really wanting to unpack the ideas around Black history, spi...

Ep 101 Tyrese Really?
Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 101 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Tyrese, Really?” This week, I fought hard not to hit a full on rant. If you haven’t heard, Tyrese helped set the tone for Black History Month 2024 by publishing wishing he was born Latinx. (Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with being Latinx, the problem is in not celebrating who you are.) In this episode I share with you a few quotes by two of my favorite scholars: Drs. Carter G. Woodson and John Henrik Clarke. I’d love to hear what you think about these id...

Long story short, it’s taken me years to do what really should have only taken me a portion of that. I hope that in me sharing my story, you find some motivation to re-start your own journey to align with (your already existing) best self. I’d love to hear what you think about these ideas.

Ep 99 Rhetoric, Reality, And The Need For Community
Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 99 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Rhetoric, Reality, and the Need for Community.” This week, I start with a special message about my struggles with procrastination and how that almost shaped this episode. Between Dr. Claudine Gay’s resignation, Dr. Antoinette “Bonnie” Candia-Bailey’s untimely death, and Florida’s permanent ban of DEI on college campuses, this year has already shown itself to be one for which we must be prepared. Unfortunately, at the same time we need to have our best thinkers reasoning through strategies for collective Black freedom and wellness, we are offering seeing a general...

Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 98 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Colonialism, Scarcity, and Tools for Liberation.” The world is a dumpster fire right now. If you are a person that believes in humanity, social justice, and equity life has been pretty rough lately. In this episode, I want to share with you how this season has plagued my joy and left me in a valley. However, I also want to share that by their very definition, valleys always have a way out. I’ll be honest. Things have been challenging for me. In fact, I’d left behind some of the too...

In this episode, we discuss the recent release of new middle and high school standards in the State of Florida. Without an understanding of how history for Black folks has always been tied to liberation or oppression in the US, we may miss how deep this really is. Books mentioned in this episode: The MisEducation of the Negro (Carter G. Woodson) Black Anglo-Saxons (Nathan Hare) Papers in African Psychology (Na'im Akbar) I’d...

I’m disgusted; if you want to know why, tune into this episode and hear me out. I’ll be honest. This is probably not my best podcast. Quite frankly, I’m too bothered for it to be.

Needless to say, it had a huge impact on my productivity and on my emotions. In this episode, I continue my conversation about mental health and how I’m managing to navigate my feelings. Now, don’t get me wrong, my feelings around his passing that have affected me the most, are those linked to the awareness of my own mortality.

If there was ever a movie about Black Love, Black History, and Black betrayal, this one is it. It covered love from so many angles that my heart is still full from it! No worries, I won...
