We’re back—and a lot has gone down.

In this season opener, we catch you up on the major stories that have shaped Black culture, politics, and resistance since our last episode. From boycotts and burning plantations to Black dandyism on the red carpet, we connect the dots between history and the headlines.

In this episode:

  • Boycott of Dollar General: Pastor Dr. Jamal Bryant is leading a boycott over the rollback of DEI initiatives, calling for corporate accountability and investment in Black communities.
  • The Fall of Nottoway Plantation: Louisiana’s largest antebellum mansion burns to the ground—sparking grief, reflection, and questions about historical memory.
  • Diddy on Trial: Sean “Diddy” Combs faces serious federal charges involving sex trafficking and racketeering. We examine the allegations and cultural response.
  • Refugee Status for White Afrikaners: The Trump administration fast-tracks white South African refugees while protections for Afghan allies are set to expire.
  • DEI Under Attack: Trump’s new executive order targets museums like the Smithsonian, threatening the future of inclusive history and cultural representation.
  • Black Dandyism at the Met Gala: This year’s Met celebrated Black fashion and identity with “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”—a powerful exhibition on Black self-expression and style.

We’re breaking it all down with context, analysis, and culture in mind.
