That's a wrap--for the summer, that is! Johanna, Juanita, and Karima talk ageing, self-care, the Jungle Brothers, and the need to take a "pause for the cause." We'll miss you, but you can come hang out with us at the Afros & Audio podcast festival in Brooklyn!
Have you ever been labeled an "Angry Black Woman?" Well, each of us has at some point--especially in our professional lives. In this episode, we talk about what lies beneath that anger, and what we need to do--and let go of--so that we can keep the anger at bay and make room for peace of mind...
On this episode, we do a little digging in the crates and reminisce about some of our favorite Hip Hop artists and hits from back in the day. What artists and songs come to mind when you reminisce (you reminisce...)?
Do you ever wonder whether being a "nice woman" is keeping you from being the "best woman" you can be? Is being "nice" setting you back in life, and do you ever feel like you might just have to be a raging b*&$h to get what you want? Hmmm...come join us while we try to figure *this* one out!
What do Gucci, Prada, Katy Perry, and The Governor of Virginia have in common? Yeah--they all tried it--blackface, that is. You've seen the obscene and insulting images, read the feeble apologies, and, if you're anything like us, bracing for the next time this nonsense rolls around. On this episode, we sit down with special guests, Dr. Aaron Smith (aka "The Rapping Professor"), host of WURD radio's morning show, "Wake up with WURD!" and Camari Ellis, "The Finance Rebel." Join the conversation as we discuss whether this resurgence of the use of blackface to insult Black folk is matter of some other folks being slick...or just plain stupid...
The Twitterverse is all a-twitter about a thirty-year old video clip of a very gracious Dr. Maya Angelou setting a young woman straight when said young woman dared to call Dr. Angelou by her first name on national television. Some have even gone as far as to say that Dr. Angelou was downright rude--but we disagree! Tune in and find out why...
"We're from Philly--F'in' Philly! No one likes us? We don't care!" Seriously--we're Philly! We're Superbowl champs, the birthplace of the nation, and the home of the authentic cheesesteak. Our real estate prices might be approaching New York City ridiculousness, but that doesn't reduce us to being the "sixth borough" of New York City. Even our old friend, Nikki Stanley, wants to move back to the "City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection" and leave Delaware behind, lol!Â
Ten counts of aggravated sexual abuse and bail set at one million dollars. The so-called Pied Piper of R & B faces his own music once--again--and we hope it's for good this time. But even if Robert Kelly finally pays for his horrible crimes, the pathology that creates predators like him still exists—so what do we do about that? Join us and this episode’s guest, pediatric nurse Nikki Stanley, as we discuss some of the ways our society continues to sacrifice our children to our private and public idols.
The Crew is back, shooting the breeze about the global languages we once learned, have since forgotten, and hope to practice again, We also learn what real "Vienna Sausages" are and how to say "peanut" in Chinese. You know how we do. #random

The J2K2 Crew gets giddy (and we're not even drunk!) at the thought of wishing you all a happy holiday season--and we have gifts for you! Check out our latest two episodes that we hope will help you get through the holidays healthy, happy, and whole. Lots of love to you all!
It's fashionable to be over-scheduled, uber-busy, and just plain exhausted--but WHY? In this episode, we try to find the reasons why we GenXers think it's so cool to be so tired all the time--and we're a little surprised by what we find.
