Driving While Black- Lessons We Need to Learn ASAP

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 23:28:25 GMT

Is America the land of the free, if you cannot freely travel? Black America has been facing this challenge since the beginning, finding space while the horrors persist.

When we wrote this episode, we didn't know the policies that would be launched into hyperdrive and the public focus in the first 7 days of United States in 2026. We needed to listen then, and we very much can listen now.

How Canada WON via Boycotting - And We Can Too #WeAintBuyingIt

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 18:26:25 GMT

#couragealert We check in on border besties Canada and USA in 2025. Their relations have dramatically shifted in less than a year. How a smaller country in population pushed back against a bully. Is it making a difference? We look into the impact of the boycott, reasons why Canada decided to use their buying power, and do Boycotts work??

Make a difference! We Ain't Buying it is a nationwide boycott in the United States starting this Black Friday week 2025. https://weaintbuyingit.com/
