Join Lemmy G @ChafuwaMeza with guest Tee as we discuss on what is happening in today's world. Tee is born and raised right here in North Carolina US. She comes from a good family, and she is well mannered. The issues that seem to be happening in our society and we seem to differ is what happened to our nightlife's. I remember back in the day we used to look forward to the weekends just to step out and go mingle with other single people in the clubs. We used to dress to impress because we wanted to look good for the women and also stand out when you are with your friends. The females did the same thing and brought good energy with them. A man would have easily walked up to a female ask for a dance and it wouldn't be an issue at all. The girl would accept the nice gesture and make her way to the dancing floor. Fast forward to now days where even Tee says she is confused with what is going on in this night clubs. Tee suggests she might tolerate a guy for a quick five minutes, maybe do the two steps with the guy and then she walks away. Ideally that might make sense if you are in a relationship, but single people where are you away to? Tee claims she doesn't come to the clubs to meet men to date them or for them to take her out. She also claims she doesn't seem to notice any favors she might be getting due to her skin complexion. Colorism seems to be an issue in our society and unfortunately, it's not addressed as much or brought to light to receive more attention as it's supposed to. A lot of black females with darker skin tone seems to be overlooked or look down upon due to their skin complexion. It's a disease within our own community that needs to be cured because we have seen what happens to some of these people when society tries to make you feel like you are not good enough or not wanted or in worse cases considered not attractive or appealing at all.

One day he was going to do a health checkup for his paperwork in order for him to be able to transition his life from Kenya to US diaspora. As he was getting examined the doctors did come across something disturbing. His kidney was functioning at 30% and it needed medical attention immediately. Gerriey had to be hospitalized for a while got some treatments and started doing dialysis. Life was extremely difficult, and he was experiencing excruciating pain. Medical bills were piling up, health insurance was also a pain in the ass and being unable to provide for his family was overwhelming and brought him to depression. It took Gerriey roughly 3 years to be able to get a kidney transplant. His resilience has made him to leave to have a testimony of how lucky and blessed he is. Gerriey is fully healthy now and travels around interviewing and teaching people the importance of taking care of their kidneys and health in general.

Erika from Living Understaffed Podcast stops @Chafuwa Meza to discuss with host Lemmy G about their upcoming podcast, what made them start a virtual one as opposed to an in person one, what subject topics do they discuss in their platform? We go in depth as we discuss about going out on dates and places she would prefer to be taken to especially during these times. Generally, a lot of women prefer to be taken to expensive places as opposed to a regular decent place where both of you can communicate and possibly connect. We live in a society where money equates to love or even spark a relationship. Women tend to go after men who appears to be financially stable due to what they splurge around instead of going after men who they can connect with, build with, start a family with someone who will love you for you regardless of your flaws. Erika also talks about her divorce and where she stands in life right now as far as relationships and also if she considers to be married again in the near future.
