    The daddies just might be getting primary custody of the kids.

Powerful Messaging

Another powerful message in the books. Once again, Ms. Eboni and Mr. Dustin, you 2 have done God's work in not only delivering messages aligned with supporting humanity but ACTIONABLE items for the people. The Wandering Office Act should be included in the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. I think people are so caught up in the qualified immunity but ignoring essential pieces that Jason Johnson writes about and this NY bill. I learn A LOT from this podcast. Thank you for bringing the fire 🔥.

Unapologetically Black

A safe space to learn and be heard. I love how Eboni and Dustin make this a casual conversation about serious issues with family. It is NOT an echo chamber and I NEVER miss an episode of the podcast or IGTV sidebars. Keep up the good work loves! xoxo
