Welcome World! Getting to the good stuff in Season 4 on Concrete and Blossom Podcast. Episode 28 - Missing Black Man is co-hosted with one of my favorite intellects – Mic Perkins of My Punk Ass Podcast! We address the unavoidable fact that black homes, the black communities, the black America, the black world is missing the black man, let’s talk about it! So Listen Listeners! One of my favorite quotes when talking about Black Men is “I am not your enemy, I am your ENERGY!”  Black Women: my message to you is although we cannot teach black men how to be men, we must learn to cherish black men, protect black men, and love black men to their growth and through their growth. When we separate ourselves from the idea of the black man, we empower every systemic oppression tool created to dissemble the black community. Don’t worry this is only the beginning of this conversation here on the Concrete and Blossom Podcast platform!

Welcome world! It's one of your favorite Creator & Hosts, DawnTheDoll. This is Season 4 Episode 27 of Concrete and Blossom Podcast. We are aspiring to create change through conversation in this Silver Segment with Queen Sylvia. Today we speak on the thought “Procrastination Disguised As Rest”. Let’s talk about it… So Listen Listeners! In a world where goals and accomplishments, being busy and productive, where getting shit done defines so much of you, it is essential to have BALANCE! This has become an ongoing theme throughout our creation. When we take rat, it should be a state of reset. Mentally, physically, and even spiritually we need to create the time and safe space for time off. HOWEVER... don't waste time! If you're avoiding what needs to be done, and filling time with mindless thought traps, it's not rest people! Healthy rest creates balance; procrastination that you tell yourself is rest is wasted time.  This episode's co-host has NOT been procrastinating!!

Welcome world! I am one of your favorite creator and hosts DawnTheDoll. This is Episode 22 of Concrete and Blossom Podcast. We are aspiring to create change through conversation in this Silver Segment with Queen Sylvia. Today we speak on the thought “You aren’t who they knew”. Let’s talk about it… So listen Listeners, You are not your past. You are not your mistakes. And you most certainly are not and don’t have to be the memories someone has of you. Keep growing. Keep allowing others the opportunity to grow. Evolve and develop into your best self. Let that best self be your representative as you walk your path of life. Where others choose to reside and remain is not your responsibility. Just be sure you don’t go where misery and malicious memories are inviting you.

SaintLeo: "I am blessed to still have the passion to do music and perform again, I have a ton of content to talk about and can't wait to share my journey with the world."  Welcome World! This is Concrete and Blossom Podcast and I am one of your favorite creator and hosts DawnTheDoll. On this episode we talk about music perpetuating violence and impacting the culture as we get to know Dallas based music artist Saint Leo. Let’s talk about it…  Recording artist known by the stage name SaintLeo, is an American rapper, singer and songwriter from Dallas, Texas. An independent recording artist whose influences are artists such as Scarface, Jay-Z, T.I., Drake, Outkast, Z-Ro, Big Krit, Ice Cube and Rick Ross. SaintLeo started writing songs and poems at the age of 13, shortly after his mother passed of stomach cancer. "I can remember just sitting in my room for days and not talking to anyone and just writing thoughts and rhymes." After taking a nearly 10 year hiatus, he jumped back into the rap scene by releasing EP, Music U Can Feel (2020) and Respectfully, Yours (2020).  So listen listeners, music is meant to be felt by the soul. When your soul is moved it can sometimes cause that ass to be thrown in a circular motion. We have to understand that there would be an appropriate time and place for that. I said all that to say, be cognizant of the energy of music that you continuously pour into your soul.  Not now but right now, go subscribe, follow, like, and share us on all social media and listening platforms @concreteandblossompodcast

Welcome World! This is Season 2 Episode 10 of Concrete and Blossom Podcast. Here minority millennials aspire to create Change Through Conversation. In this episode I join my co-host MistaD713 from Everything Culture Podcast as we sit down with LA based recording artist & songwriter MacFame as we plant the seed The Art vs The Artist in the music industry! Are the expectations of the fame AND the fans misplaced? Is the entertainment industry influencing your family and friends more than you are?  So Listen Listeners! There's a time, place, and age for everything. The music industry and its product/service of entertainment is not intended to be a life guide. Remember that music is made by people; a lot of times it is simply a creative outlet that proves financially beneficial. behind each musical track is a person that has the right to detach and be who they want, not who we want them to be.
