Black PERL Presents: "Speak on it"

With trends and fashion and technology, is it really wise to have children after you've turned 40, and live a borderline lower to middle-class lifestyle? Unless the two parties are a well-established item, it will be extremely difficult to provide for a growing child, this day in age unless at least one of them is extremely well-off financially. Also;;; it is important for us as people of color to "leave the nest" and travel to other places, observing the multitudes of different types of cultures as well as people. Put yourself in a different environment and challenge the mind to adapt and evolve with your surroundings. Learn to adjust accordingly because after all, life is only a game, question is...what game are YOU playing...? 

On this episode, we reflect on the late great American Spy, Scout, Political activist, abolitionist and conductor of the Underground Railroad; Harriet Tubman. Also, present day history makers Lakeisha and Katelyn Jackson: mother/daughter entrepreneurs and founders of SGH (She's Got Hustle) Apparel.

Welcome to any new listeners. 3 of the most important word in the English language is; LOVE, FRIEND, and TIME. How do they all coincide? What determines whether or not either is organic or superficial...

In this episode, I look back on the life of the most prominent Agricultural Scientist/Inventor of the 20th century, as well as in HISTORY. People of color sculpt the face of history on a regular basis, yet the proper recognition is rarely given. This week I would like to acknowledge Dr. Sydney Freeman Jr... Part 2 is a run down on current events and world news as it pertains to the livelihood and/or the well-being of all people of color, from a "REAL BROTHA" perspective. Links to these---along with all previous stories---can be found on my Instagram page @ BlackPERL2078@instagram 

This is the first of many installments of the opinionated version of BLACKPERL WEEKLY. Todays episode is my position on POLICING.

In this episode, I reintroduce myself and let it be known that this is the official version of Blackperl. I had to take some time off to really learn and understand podcasting and formatting. IM BACK... Today, I recap last episode and touch on Rosa Parks and Ida B. Wells. Andrea Stephenson and her Simply Outrageous Youth blog is discussed in depth, as she is this weeks Blackperl present day innovator. Afterwards, I introduce the segment "REAL TALK" where I speak on mental health and awareness and ways to stimulate your mind as to avoid mental atrophy.

This episode celebrates  women of color both from history and modern day, as March is Women's History Month. This episode features Rosa Parks and Andrea Stephenson.

...so basically I wanted to reintroduce the blackPERL podcast bay further explaining the ideology behind the concept and the sole purpose of BP Weekly. I felt the first episode didnt really give a good explanation and so I wanted to at the least, re-explain it more clearly and more thoroughly. STAY TUNED...
