Setting the Record Straight

This week, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa discuss an important online forum where Black men can shine, debunking negative stereotypes, particularly about Black fathers. Additionally, there’s a new attack on LGBTQIA rights coming out of Colorado, which seems destined for resolution at SCOTUS…and we all know how that will go…

Word of the Week: Groyper [1:10]: Dr. Lisa leads a discussion about yet another wh*te nationalist organization of which we all should be aware. A little green frog (not Kermit!) is involved.

Phase 1 [7:00]: Den of Kings: The disinformation and misinformation about Black men (especially Black fathers) rages on. However, Dr. Shaunna discusses Kirk Franklin's new YouTube show that dispels myths while providing much needed community and insight into the diverse Black male experience.

Phase 2 [25:25]: Born Again, Kinda?: In yet another anti-LGBTQIA move, a couple who owns a Christian bookstore in Colorado argues that new state law protecting chosen name under gender expression in Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Statute is a violation of their first amendment rights. (Insert eye roll as Dr. Lisa tells us more.)
