Great Day and Grand Risings to you my TEA SIPPERS and CRUMPET DUNKERS!! Today, we are going to be real grown ups and deal with a topic that has been catapulted into the spotlight with the onset of 50 Shades of Gray, but at the same time, it is still a major taboo in mainstream culture.  The world of BDSM....The Bondage/Discipline/Sadist/Masochist world have been synonymous wtih  "Whips and Chains" and "People getting TIED UP BEAT" has under much scrutiny and ridicule by the masses due to lack of education and understanding its purpose.  For many, this particular lifestyle is still seen as "White People" stuff, but more and more Blacks are engaging into the culture and finding solace in it.  For the LGBTQ community, it has become a staple of community and has been deemed to be an indicator of MASCULINITY.  

Today, we are going to get some real answers and an in depth look into the world of BDSM by talking with the founder of ONYX, a leathermen's group especially for Black Men,  Sir/Daddy Mufasa Ali. 

This is going to be an ADULT show, so for those who do NOT like talking sex and intimacy, this is NOT the show for you. If this is right up your alley, then get all of your good gal pals, judies, and fly guys and bring plenty of crumpets because THIS WILL BE A HOT POT OF TEA FOR YOUR NERVES!!

Greetings and Salutations Tea Sippers! Thank you for your LOVE and SUPPORT as Dishing Tea with Big Meach has turned 8 years old. Today, we will be reflecting on past shows as well as discussing a few topics that have plagued my mind since we've last spoken.  In this special edition, YOU will be my co-host as we can and will talk about any and everything that is on your mind......RIGHT HERE.... RIGHT NOW!!!  There is one proviso, If you come out of a bag in me, I will come out of a BIGGER BAG on you!  

Plus, we will be answering a few "Dear Big Meach" letters to kick off our new season.  

Here are a few things that have entered my consciousness this week: FIghts on YouTube:  The idea of being FAMOUS has infiltrated common sense these days and some things being made public have become a complete embarrassment to THE WORLD and these fighting videos are streaming senselessly!  What are your thoughts about them?School Teachers having sex with students:  A Black male teacher has been arrested for sexually assaulting a few of his male students. This dumb ass video taped some of his escapades AND he is HIV Posititve!  What is this phenomenon?  Why are we having so many teachers sleeping with these kids today?Call to Action:  Teaching our children a trade and/or hustle......why have we removed ourselves from this part of our legacy? It is going to be a HOT POT of tea for your nerves, my darlings, so bring plenty of crumpets because the Tea will be DIshed!

Hey there Tea Sippers!  There are many issues that plague our world today, and often times we have the many different town hall meetings and seminars that excite people and speak to their emotions, BUT  how many times have we heard and/or used those catch phrases which have only become PRETTY WORDS that don't mean anything to anyone? 

*Black folks need to learn how to stick together-But how can we when we won't even accept EVERYONE for who they are?  Str8 won't deal with Gay, Church won't deal with Jehovah's Witnesses, Bourgè won't deal with ghetto, etc.

*We need Unity in the Community-But how can we have UNITY when it has become so subjective and no one wants to deal with anyone they do not know or want to get to know?

*It takes a Village to raise a child-But what has happened to "the village" when folks don't even know their neighbors OR can't even chastise a child without the repercussion of fighting in the street with the parents?

These are some of my thoughts , but today we can talk about any and everything you want to discuss as you are my co-host on this special edition of "Don't Come out of a Bag" 

Make sure you have your crumpets cuz I"m Dishing plenty of Tea my darlings!

Hey there Tea Sippers!!  Well, Atlanta has spoken and they have voted for Karen Handle.....and the question is WHY???  Has this country been SOOOOOO paralyzed by The Obama Administration that they are doing any and eveything to attempt to ERASE his presence from the history/herstory books?  What are your thoughts?  Well, today, on this Thursday evening edition of Dishing Tea with Big Meach, we are going to discuss this and whatever else is on your mind.. RiGHT HERE... RIGHT NOW as You are my co-hosts.  The only proviso is IF you decide to come out of a bag on me, I will come out of a BIGGER BAG on YOU!!  

Here are a couple of other things that are on my mind:

  • Being LGBT overseas:  Have you heard about the young man who raped, tortured, burned and killed in MALYASIA? 

  • Philando Castile:  The Police Officer accused of kiling him has been ACQUITTED!!  Will it EVER STOP?  That Blue Wall of Silence is a mother for ya!

  • The Gay Bishop and his many pictures:  WHY do we have a jilted Bishop posting pictures all over Facebook stating he and a Gospel Artist were in an affair?  Is THIS what the church has resulted to?  What is the message behind this kind of REVENGEFUL ACT???  How does a BISHOP persecute and violate someone's trust all in the name of "Telling the Truth" but it was really VENGENCE???

All of this and a whole lot more so bring plenty of crumpets my darlings because THE TEA will be DISHED!

We can talk about any and everything that is  on your mind right here.... RIGHT NOW, BUT if you decide to come out of a bag on me, I will come out of a BIGGER BAG on you!!  

Here are a few things that are on my mind this week: The Power of the word "Nigger"- WHY are we giving this word SO MUCH POWER? Are we still holding on to the past?  Why is it that 'blacks" are the only ones who can "say that word?" Are we REALLY UPSET with Bill Maher for saying the word OR Are we upset because we thought he was talking about US?Steve Harvey-Why are people believing his is a SELL OUT?  What is a SELL OUT?  How can a person succeed in life and not be labeled a SELLOUT?Pulse, One Year later-What have we learned from this massacre?  Father's Day and Juneteenth!!  What do they mean to YOU? Do you celebrate Juneteenth? How many know exactly what it is?   This is going to be a HOT POT of tea that we are going to dish so make sure you bring plenty of crumpets and all your good gal/guy pals!

The DeKalb County Sheriff: Why did this man get caught in Piedmont Park AFTERHOURS with is penis exposed and committing "lewd acts" then RUN AWAY FROM THE POLICE?

Pay it Forward goes WRONG:  MY PEOPLE... someone does a kind gesture by paying for your meal in the drive thru. You pull up to the window and was told your food was already paid for by the car in front of you..... WHY DO YOU TRIP AND GO OFF ON THE TELLER?  And then to add insult to injury, WHY YOU TRY TO WORK THE DEED by asking for extra this and that???

Hey there Tea Sippers!  This episode of Dishing Tea wtih Big Meach will be somewhat somber as we pay homage to the elderly man who lost his life at the hand of a senseless coward.  We will also talk about the ATL and its infrastructure.  What is going on with the streets, bridges, and overpassses?  Could this be a plan to force the suburbs to REALLY accept the expansion of the MARTA RAIL/BUS SYSTEM? And what about Judge Sheila Salaam? The first African American female Muslim Judge appointed to the NY Court of Appeals was found dead in the Hudson River last week and it seems to have gone on deaf ears.

Here are a few things that are on my mind:

*Just "Say No" has become New and Improved- Tea Sippers, Did President Elect Trump look into the camera during his 60 Minutes interview post election and tell his people to "STOP IT"?

*Protesting the Election- I know many of you have been marching and wreaking havoc on cities across America because you were unhappy with the voting decision, BUT WHAT WILL ALL THAT MARCHING ACCOMPLISH????   What is the point and where do we go from HERE???

*Black Folks who were campaigning on "SUSPENDING/CANCELLING YOUR VOTE"- You got what YOU wanted and that was for Hillary NOT to get in the office, so NOW WHAT???  What do you have in place that will get "OUR AGENDA" on the table and have "OUR NEEDS" met?  

*Being "PRESIDENTIAL"- Can someone pleae tell me WHAT THE HELL IS BEING PRESIDENTIAL?  Have we become so blinded to "THE LOOK" of what we THINK a President should be and how he should behave that we have forgotten that the PRESIDENT IS HUMAN and comes with his own bag of idiosyncrasies!!  WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HAVE IN A PRESIDENT?

Hey there Tea Sippers!!  Today is going to be a very INTERESTING day as we are going to be down and dirty as I give my take on the past Black Gay Pride events that have transpired this past weekend.

Yes, It is a Don't Come out of a Bag Wednesday and I KNOW I will be saying a few things today that you may not agree with, but it's cool.  This will give us an opportunity to create and establish dialogue so we can get to the ROOT of the issues.  Now, YOU KNOW THE RULES....  We can talk about any and everything RIGHT HERE...

Here are a few things that are on my mind this week: Black Gay Pride: Why don't we EVER know how to contain ourselves and act like we got some GOOD SENSE? I'm sure you have seen the fights that have transpired over the weekend.  The questions become, WHY come all the way out of town just to FIGHT? What was the thrill in fighting and being seen all over YouTube, Facebook, and InstaGram? What was the point?The Diabolical Separation between the Promoters vs. The Non-Profit organization:  This year was the 20th Anniversary of Atlanta's Black Gay Pride and there seemed to have been a great disconnect.  Why can't these entities come together for the GREATER GOOD of the COMMUNITY?A Couple of Dear Big Meach letters that are a doozie!

Hey there  Tea Sippers!!  We are going to get down into this whole debate about NFL Player Colin Kaepernick's decision to sit down while the national anthem was playing.  Why is there so much outrage for a peaceful protest?  What made his stance disrespectful? Does he have have a point with his protest? Would you take this particular stance or how would you allow your protest to be heard/noticed?  

Are you familiar with The National Anthem?  Did you know that it has 4 stanzas to it and that is was considered to be  racists song???  Yeah, it's another installment of "Don't Come out of a Bag" and THIS TIME, we are going to get with those who came out the bag!!!  

We can talk about anything that's on your mind, right here, Right NOW, but If you decide to come out of a bag on me, I will come out of a Bigger Bag on You!!  Now, if you have a new topic, feel free to share OR if you wish to join in on one of the conversations I am presenting, feel free! The Pastor arrested for Child Molestation:  This is the pastor who believed that those victims in Orlando "got what they deserved" as he has been completely outspoken with his stance on the LGBT community.  Well, Pastor Ken Adkins has been accused of molesting a young boy back in 2010 and it has just come to the light.  Is this what HE deserves?  Big Meach is in a Scandal!!  Do you remember back when I had those pix of me go viral on the internet?  Well, one of them has resurfaced and according to this post, it showed up on a TV program called MTV Jokes..... I'm not sure if that's real or NOT, but I will explain further.We will revisit the 33 Questions White people have for White people

However, it seems that the Gun Lobbyists have WON BIG and may have shaped how states design their gun laws. I will share a few points I've learned over the he last week

*33-27: Yeah it does sound like a good number to play, but Have you head and/or seen the videos that asks 33 Questions White Folks have for Whites and 27 questions Blacks have for Blacks? Hysterical yet poignant. Do you really believe these questions will ever get answered SERIOUSLY?

  • Spellman College and Transgender Inclusion: Spellman officials are putting together a task force that will examine the benefits of including and enrolling Transgender Students. Is this a step in the right direction? How will the legacy of this institution be preserved? Is it time to change the narrative to show the progression of the school and the changes our society has gone thru? If Spellman decides to move forward with this initiative, would this create a precedent for all HBCUs specifically Morehouse because it's a single gender educational facility?

  • The POWER of The Vote: IS it really possible for Native Americans of African Descent aka Black Folks to use their vote as collateral in this political race? Oh, YES my darlings, this is going to be a Really HOT POT of tea for your nerve, so bring plenty of crumpets!

Now, you can strike up a conversation OR you can join in on what I will be talking about this week: Respecting One's Opinion:  I had gotten into a YouTube exchange a few days ago with someone who disagreed with a comment made, and then decided to turn the whole conversation into a fight for LGBT Hate Crimes!  WTF???  Why can't we rediscover that people are PEOPLE and everyone is entitiled to their opinion. Question: Why has the LGBT community become such a drastic force in point out "HATE SPEECH" when often times it's only a person's opinion?The Right to Vote:  Have we become BULLIES when it come down to voting?  Why can't we simply accept a person's choice not to want to vote?Dear Big Meach:  We will address a few Dear Big Meach letters This is going to be a Lovely Ole Hot Pot of Tea for your Nerves darlings, so bring plenty of C

Good Day to you Tea Sippers! We are still basking in our 7th anniversary of broadcasting to you, for you, and about you and this installment is going to be a preliminary Call to Action for our Native LGBT Americans of African Descent so that we can Edify ourselves, Empower Ourselves, Economically Groom Ourselves, Matriculate, Grow and become Responsible and Accountable to and for ourselves as we RECONSTRUCT our communities.  

For far too long, we as a Black LGBT Community have been faced with challenges that are congruent to the overall struggle and in some instances an epidemic known specifically to us, yet we have allowed for our Caucasian Counterparts to pimp us for our struggle while they are the ones who have been able to raise capital, effect change, and have OUR heteroattractional counterparts and/or adversaries upset with US and will not come to the table to stand with US and fight for OUR equality.  We have allowed and accepted the fragmented representation and botched leadership to speak about us, but never TO US nor with enough impact FOR US.

My guest today has become one of the more amplified voices within the LGBT Community and thru his activism, advocacy, ministry, and writings, his philosophies, messages, and personal insights have become a part of the tapestry that's been revolutionary in transforming, transcending, and transpiring our community to ACTIVATE and CREATE a plan of action that not only describes the problems, BUT includes solid, sound, practical SOLUTIONS that can be IMPLEMENTED immediately in order for us to MOVE FORWARD while building bridges to strengthen our association with our allies!

Mr. Tuan N'Gai will be Dishing Tea with Big Meach and I need for your to call a gal pal or two and have plenty of crumpets because this is going to be a REALLY HOT POT of tea for your nerves, my darlings

Greeting and Salutations my Tea Sippers!! Well, you know what time it is...It's time for YOU to be my Co-Host as we will delve into the first installment of "Don't Come out of a Bag, Wednesday" for our 7th year of broadcasting.  For those who may be new to this experience, this is the time where we can and will talk about ANY and EVERY thing that may be on your mind, Right Here.... Right NOW, BUT...IF you decide to come out of a bag on me, I WILL come out of a Bigger Bag on YOU!  Got that??  Good.  Now, we can talk about whatever you wish OR you may add your commentary on the topics that I will be discussing today.

Here is what is on my mind this time Why can't we learn how to agree to disagree? Churren, Ms. Wendy Williams got BLASTED by many of the "power to the people" churren because of how she framed her discussion about the NAACP and HBCUs.  Was it really fair to blast her the way she was OR did we REALLY HEAR what she had to say before we got all emotional and responded?Peaceful Protests vs Renegade Youngsters looking for FAME:  We have seen a lot of protesting going on since the senseless and ridiculous shootings in Louisiana, Minnesota, and the ambushing of the Police Officers in Dallas and what I am seeing is a bunch of emotional youngsters looking to be heard, AND some youngsters looking to build ther You Tube pages.  How can we get their voices not only HEARD, but EMPOWERED to bring about RESULTS?Black Lives Matter vs. All Lives Matter:  WHY is it that everytime someone quantifies an movement based on Race, it is Blacks who get hated on the most for taking a stance within that Movement?  It's going to be a HOT POT of Tea, my darling so bring plenty of crumpets and a few freinds

Hey there Tea Sippers!!  Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU for your love and support!!  We are entering into our 7th Year on the air and the ride has been oh so sweet!!  Today, I've decided to ask someone I look to for guidance, direction, comfort, confidance, and spiritual enlightenment to join me today as we tackle a couple of issues that are plaguing not only the LGBT community, but humanity as a whole.

He was the very first guest on "Dishing Tea with Big Meach" and to kick off our 7th year, Elder Claude Bowen has returned to provide us with some insight into a couple of issues that are of great concern to our community: Identifying and Internalizing the struggle vs the sensationalized struggle within the LGBT Culture:  We have been completely bombarded with attack ads against us and yet we still have to deal with the everyday struggles of survival as LGBT people and it seems like it is worse with LGBT people of color.  What is "the struggle"? What is the difference between  THE struggle and what mainstream THINKS is the struggle?Where do we go from Here?:  How does the OLDER, SINGLE, LGBT person move on and grow if they don't know HOW to function or WHAT to do? This is going to be a HOT POT of tea for your nerves my darlings, so bring plenty of crumpets and call a few friends!

And you already know the rules, we can talk about any and everything that is on your mind, right here, right NOW, BUT... if you decide to come out of a bag on me, I will come out of a Bigger Bag on YOU! Now, feel free to speak your peace and Dish Your Tea or chime in on any one or all of the subjects that's on my mind this week. WHY are folks posting Michael Jackson's sentiments about Prince from 1988 when they are BOTH dead and gone?  Do we REALLY care about any of that?  Neither of them can speak for themselves now, so what's the point?Gay Representation in Television:  Is it effective marketing or does it continues to feed into the fears and stereotypes projected by the mainstream culture?The BET Awards Prince Tribute:  What were your thoughts about it and why are folks hating on Madonna's tribute at the Billboard Awards?Black Music Month:  Closing out June, what are some of your favorite B-side songs that should have gotten more airplay or been released off the album project? This is going to be a FUN and HOT pot of Tea, my darlings, so make sure you have ALL of your crumpets together and invite over a few friends.

Now, you can talk about what's on your mind OR you can join in on one of the topics that I will be discussing.  Here is what is on my mind this time: The AFTERMATH:  How does the country recover from the horror of Orlando, Florida?  What does the LGBT community need to do to put strongholds in place for better safety and security?Black vs. Gay: We have been inundated with several examples of how the Black Community seems to be at war with the Gay Community when dealing in the political arena and how the history/herstory of our country is being told. WHY DOES THIS DIVIDE EXIST?  How do we push pass this and bring the communities together so that we can galvanize and fight together for equality and freedom?The Gun Control battle/debate: Can anyone explain to me WHY we MUST have millitary style assault weapons in the hands of regular citizens?  I am willing to entertain a SANE person who can explain this and how having stricter gun laws and regulations HURT the law abiding citizens?  A Little Masculini-TEA:  Why is it that everything that deals with Men's Health revolves around his sexual performance?  What does a man do when he reaches the age where his sex is not what it used to be or NOT AT ALL? This is going to be a HOT Pot of Tea for your nerves, my darlings, so make sure you have plenty of crumpets...hell, have a Tea Party and invite the gurls over for some fun!

Hey there Tea Sippers!  Today's episode will be full of political fire and fervor as we will be talking with a young man who is willing to dedicate his life to serving the people of DeKalb County as he has put his hat into the ring...the political ring of running for the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office. 

Mr. Harold Dennis, a former Police Officer, a pilot, a law abiding citizen, a father of 5, a husband, and a compassionate man who has always been on the forefront of developing ways to make his community and the lives of people around him more harmonized and in synch with all of the good life has to offer.  He has been on fire and ready to implement the necessary changes needed to facilitate a better relationship between the law enforcement community and the citizens they serve, bridge the gap between the youth of today and the voices and policies of yesterday, creating a stronger foundation from which DeKalb County can stand proudest on and reinvent its relevance within its community and within the state of Georgia.

Hey there Tea Sippers!!  Let me ask you a question...... what would it take for you to get up out your seat and hit the dance floor OR make you snap your fingers and get into the groove of some feel good, brown liquor dranking, cards slapping the table, high fiving your good girlfriend music?  Well, my darlings, my guest today will say that it will take some good strong vocals, some kick ass tracks, and some powerful background children screaming for the gods to get you up and off  your  ass to clap your hands, stomp your feet, and move your body to the rhythm of the beat!

Specializing in taking the Word where the people are and making sure that the people understand that it's alright to have a good time in the Word, my guest has created a new record label that will put the heart and the soul back into the music!  Mr. Paris Hairston is going to be Dishing Tea with Big Meach about the ins and outs of creating an entire label in a day and age when it seems like it's nearly impossible for the music to be appreciated.  AEONSTAR RECORDS is soon to launch and we will be getting the exclusive on what's to come and what we can expect from it.

PLUS..... we will be diving into the mail bag and reading a few "Dear Big Meach" letters and I will be serving my brand of tea to those who ask!

Hey there Tea Sippers!!  We are closing the month of April with a very close look at what is going on in our world and within the LGBT community as we are approaching the Pride Season.  I am very disturbed by all of the smoke and mirrors we seem to been enveloped in as the country talks about bathroom issues, religious rights, and legalized discrimination. So, yes, today is going to be a "Don't Come out of a Bag, Wednesday" where YOU will be my co-host!  I want to be a little more focused today as we need to have this tough conversation about the perils of the LGBT COMMUNITY going to war with mainstream over the basic right to be EQUAL....

Sounds familiar???   Well, I will also entertain whatever is on your minds....give YOU an opportunity to express yourself in a way that you may not have felt comfortable doing!  Now, the rule is say what you wish, BUT if you come out of a bag on me, I will come out of a BIGGER bag on you!!

Here are a few other things that are on Topics List

The change in currency... MLK and Harriet Tubman will grace the $5 and the $20 bills.....  What do YOU think about that?

The state of the United States of America.....are we in doom if Donald WINS the election?  Do you think this is a "set up" so that Hillary can win in order to continue to do with her like they did with President Obama, place the blame on her?

In Memoriam:  We have GOTS to take a minute and just reflect on who we have lost thus far in 2016 and it's only 4 months in.  We have lost some GIANTS in the game and sadly, it's not over. 

PLUS, friend to the show, Reknowned psychic, Leo Brown will be with us sharing information about his new book and taking your calls LIVE... get your crumpets, darlings!

BUT.. if you decide to come out of a bag on me, I will be obliged to come out of a Bigger Bag on YOU!

Here are the things that are on my mind this week: The Zika Virus:  Isn't it strange for a "new" virus  to be introduced to the public that has been NAMED and research has been CONCLUDED on it enough to let people know what it is??  Why does it live and is passed on thru mosquitos?  What kind of virus is this that it is not only passed on thru insects, but sexual contact as well??The Religious Freedom Act:  What is going on in the world that we have become so obssessed wtih the LGBT community again??  This Religious Freedom Act bill has been sprouting up across the country and now other states, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee along with Georgia are up in arms about making sure this bill or what is similar to it passes.  This is LEGALIZED discrimination on ALL FRONTS and folks don't want to admit that!  Aren't businesses already protected and have the power to refuse service to anyone?  So, WHY is this bill needed to protect Faith bases churches and businesses? There is a bigger picture here....something else is going on and we have been blind sided again...the question is WHAT??The Educational System:  I want to tackle this from another angle;  TheSchool Uniform.  WHY is it that the skirts on these girls are showing off ENTIRELY TOO MUCH LEG and not enough skirt???

Hey there Tea Sippers!!  I'm sure you all have heard the controversy behind the new reality show, "The Preachers of Atlanta" and all of the other hoopla against all the other shows similar in nature.  I will say that I have developed a 'guilty pleasure' of sorts for THIS particular show because I wanted to see just how they were going to showcase their ministries.  Now, after watching 3 episodes, I've concluded that my opinion about these shows have not changed, even though I do think that TPOA is much better than I had anticipated. 

We have or had on the air:

The Preachers of L.A.

The Preachers of  Detroit

The Preachers of Atlanta

The Preachers Wifes of Atlanta

Preach

Dancing Preachers

Sunday Best

and I just got wind of a NEW show in development called, "So You Think You Can Preach"

I have read and watched videos of people who have completed blasted these types of shows, and so have I, BUT there is a few points I am going to bring out that I believe sets me aside from the rest.  You may not agree with me, but that's okay. Remember, I am no longer a  traditional Christian, I am a progressive believer and I am going to say a few things that will ADD fuel to this fire, SOOOOOO, make sure you have your crumpets together because I have a grand ole HOT POT of  Tea that will be dished!

Hey there Tea Sippers!! I'm pretty sure you have gotten the buzz that there are many Superbowl fans wishing to protest the halftime show because many feel that it promoted disrespecting police, being too militant with its tribute to Michael Jackson and The Black Panther Party, AND that Cold Play was promoting homosexuality with its colorful injections throughout their performance and the  "Believe in Love" finale.

Hey there Tea Sippers!  Today I am going to open your eyes and perhaps your consciousness to a journey that some of our bruthas and sistahs are on that doesn't get its proper respect or just due. As a part of Black History/Herstory Month, we have to be ALL INCLUSIVE of the richness of what we have to offer the populace.

As we are embarking on the empowerment of the Transgender Community, there is a name that MUST be celebrated and recognized as a trailblaze, pioneer, and front line "warrior" for the equity building of the transgender community.  Before there was LaVerne Cox and Janet Mock......there was Tracey Africa!!!

Tracey Gayle Norman-Africa was once the FACE of Ms. Clairol and was the first Black Transwoman Supermodel to strut down the catwalk.  Now, after a flourishing career in the fashion industry, she is currently serving as The Mother of The House Africa and embarking on her own Home Decorating business.

Today, I celebrate the HURSTORY of this Icon so bring plenty of crumpets cuz THIS TEA is HOT

Hey there Tea Sippers!!  How many of you are OVER Ms. Stacey Dash's comments about Black History/Herstory Month?  How many are OVER the fact that BHM seems to only focus around Malcolm, Martin, Rosa, Fredrick and George Washington Carver? Well, I am going to take a different stab at this issue as I will be Dishing Tea on the critically crucial involvement of a man who was the Originator, the Architect, the Organizor, the Blueprint, the Administrator of what we now know as The Civil Rights Movement.  Often times, we have heard folks battle with the LGBT community about why and how The CRM is different from The Human Rights Movement aka Gay Rights Movement; however most folks either have not paid attention to, don't want to give credit to, or have no clue that The CRM was DESIGNED by a Black Gay Man named Bayard Rustin!

Here are a few things on my mind this week: Always wear your Armour?:  What is this, the pastor of the church shoots to kill during a church service in Detroit.  Is this practice acceptable?  Wait til you hear WHY the dude came for the pastor!!!Don't pay Taxes, but Pay FINES?:  The church seems to be under attack by the city as the "new neighbors" have file complaints against them and THE CITY responded.  Wait til your hear the reasons why...What happened to THE VILLAGE?: This may seem like we are going to be preaching to the choir, BUT the idea of parenting and having community seems to have become extinct like dinosoars.. How can we recapture and rebuild THE VILLAGE?  What about the image and reputation of GRANDMA/Big Mama?Blacks vs. Gays:  Why is it that we are at one another's throats instead of uniting in the struggle for EQUALITY?? Plus, if time permits, we will have a few "Dear Big Meach" letters to address during the broadcast.  This is going to be a lovely ole pot of tea for your nerves, darlings so.....Make sure you have PLENTY of crumpets and tell all your friends to come on over cuz we are Dishing Tea with Big Meach

RIGHT NOW, BUT......if you decide to come out of a bag on me, I will come out of a Bigger Bag on YOU!!  

There has been so much going on in the world and these are a few things that are on my mind this week: Black Folks vs. Raven-Simone:  Why is it that people seem to feel as though she is not entitled to her opinion?  The latest thing that has everyone in an uproar is the fact she said she would discriminate against people with those "ghetto" names.  Does she have a point or was she completely wrong?The Confederacy vs. The NAACP:  Why is it this thing with Stone Mountain has become such a fight? Is this a distraction or does The NAACP have a leg to stand?On the Job Care:  Why is it considered "Solitication" to care for your co-workers during hard times and bereavement periods?The Black Community vs. The Gay Community:  We say we are all about the struggle for inclusion and celebrating diversity, but yet when tragedy happens, neither side comes together in solidarity to support one another's cause. Why don't we come to the aid of one another, but we insist that each side support one another. Is that right? ?This is going to be one ole Hot Pot of Tea for your nerves, darlings, so be sure to have plenty of crumpets and make sure you bring your friends.

Hey there Tea Sippers! As we are ending our month long anniversary celebration, we have decided to shed some light on a subject that is often talked about on one side, maybe two, but never from the ongoing aftercare of coming out of the darkness.  As we all know, Domestic Violence or Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse is an ugly reality that many people face across the world. Women and Men who deal with this often find strength to get out of their situation and move ahead to rebuild their lives and regain their sense of self.

My guest today is a survivor who has come out of the ugliness and shame that DV/IPVA loves to cloak its victims under.  Ms. Katrina Walker has not only shedded that very cloak, she has become a beacon of light for others who are seeking a way out of their situation. Not only she pulled herself out of the muck and mire, she has built an empire for herself where she can proclaim being a self made Millionaire!

Hey there Tea Sippers.

Hey there Tea Sippers. We hve got a delcious pot of tea for your nerve to day that will sent you into the stratosphere!  We will be talking about the educational system from a different point of view.  We've heard so many people talking about, criticizing, and doubting the current institution of higher learning, but no one seems to have an answer or a workable set of solutions.  Well, the time has come to embark upon a new education initiative that will not only speak to improving the cirriculum, but encourage a populous to thrive as it builds allegiances and supportive strong fronts that will empower and edify the community.

With the K-12 school structure being under the rule of what seems to be a Judeao Christian structure, an innovative approach to learning and acquiring the primary life skills required to be a productive citizen is on the horizon.  The Pride School Atlanta is in development  to revolutionize the institution of education as it bridges the gaps that hosts all of the phobias which hold society hostage.   Established by Christian Zsilavetz, Pride School Atlanta will seek to provide a safe place for the LGBTQQIA communities and their families to learn and matriculate while supporting and celebrating diversity and acceptance throughout its student body and facaulty. We will delve into this new and excited possibility of a  Pre K-12 school system and address all those burning questions that may be on the forefront of your  minds.

Hey there Tea Sippers! We are going to take a look into the Entertainment Business from a woman's point of view. When they were last here, my sistahs, Helen Brunner and Terry Jones  gave us the 4-1-1 on how is was to come into the business of SHOW and dealing with the ups and downs of dealing with record execs. Now, they are back along with the sistahs over at PhillyBass'd Records to share with us what's it like to BE the execs and how it is to create an empire from the ground up and having the power of "the sistahood" to empower their endeavors.

We will be dishing tea on how it is for women to actually exist in this business and it is real or a myth that BLACK WOMEN can not work together for long periods of time in this industry.

Hey there Tea Sippers!  It's another installment of Don't Come out of a Bag, Wednesday and this time I am going to bring about an umbrella topic that I think touches our lives in all forms.....that topic is SECRETS!!  Often times we keep secrets, hold secrets, and let secrets create an alternative reality for us because we are afraid to address them, release them, or hold ourselves accountable for them.

With this edition, I want us to really dig deep and look at Secrets from this angle...

*Polyamorous Relationships: Are you willing to allow your significant other to go outside of the relationship because you are afraid to share that your sexual appetite has lessened or has become non existent?

*Growing Old Gayfully: How many of us are hiding behind the secrets of body changes, image problems, shames of feeling inadequate and yet we are afraid to face what has become our NEW NORMALS?

*Parenting: How many of us are hiding our TRUTHS from our children?  Biological Gay parents who have not disclosed themselves to their children are afraid of what consequences? 

*Private Lives vs. Secret Rendevous: Is there a difference between being a Private Individual and being a Secret Individual?  Can those line blur without anyone recognizing the differences?

We will talk about this PLUS whatever is on your mind.....You KNOW the rules.... We can talk about Whatever is on your mind, right here... right now.. BUT if you come out of a Bag... I will come out of a BIGGER BAG...

so have all of your crumpets together and let's serve up a HOT POT of tea, darlings.

Hey there Tea Sippers!!  It's another edition of Don't Come out of a Bag and I want us to talk for REAL about the state of the union.  With all of the hoopla that's going on with the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, MS I am compelled to ask this question,

Are we in CIVIL WAR or CIVIL UNREST? 

We've been talking about the increased amounts of police brutality and here we are in a state of confusion where The National Guards are on the streets, tear gas, rubber bullets, and dogs are being used to control the people and the pictures are looking identical to those from the Civil Rights Movement protests over 40 years ago. 

What can we do to reclaim our sense of peace, our rights as citizens to freedom of expression, OUR INDEPENDENCE in this "great" country? 

Also, we will pay homage to Robin Williams and talk about depression.  When are we as a country going to mental health RELEVANT in our quest for health care in this country.  Look at Mr. Andre "Killer Beez" Johnson of Wu Tang Clan, he severed his penis and attempted suicide due to his bout with depression.  What can be done to look at mental health serious?

And of course, whatever is on YOUR mind....we can talk about it right HERE... right NOW..... just Don't Come out of a Bag, because if you do, I am coming out of a BIGGER BAG!!

All that and more, so make sure you have lots of crumpets, baby because we've got a HOT POT of Tea for your nerve, darlings.

Hey there Tea Sippers!! Today we will be taking a real look into the world of Adult Films with a twist.  My guest today has revolutionized the image of Black Men in the Gay adult film industry and was the personification of the virile, dominant, masculine specimen whose sexual prowess became a standard to which many held their sexual partners.  He has over 100 films to his credit and introduced the world to the concept of the BLATINO SEX PARTY craze.

However, along his journey, he never turned his back on his spiritual convictions or his allegiance to what he deems to be his higher power.  After retiring from the world of Adult Entertainment, Bobby Blake returned to his birth name and is now teaching and preaching The Good News and has dedicated his ministry to being a beacon of light to those who may have taken the same road to success that he has and is looking for a better way of achieving a more fulfilling, spiritually enriched life.

Today we will be Dishing Tea with Elder Edgar Gaines and he will dish on how he has managed to build his brand in the adult industry, and how he has returned to his spiritual roots as a self defined "prodical son"

This is going to be a Deliciously HOT POT of tea for your nerve, darlings, so bring PLENTY of CRUMPETS.

Hey there Tea Sippers!! Today we will be talking about the one subject where I will be a little deficient in and I will need your assistance to get me through this one.  I AM NOT a Sports Enthusiast, but I am one who enjoys watching a game here and there, But I WATCH for the "wrong reasons".. lol  I watch to see how the uniforms fit the players, who wears is well and fantasize on how I can get tackled by a few of them; HOWEVER, even though I've always felt that Sports, especially football is a homoerotic sport, there are those who have played the game and had to hide themselves because being gay in the sports arena is shunned upon and have vicious consequences if revealed.

Needless to say, with the onset of those players who are coming out WHILE PLAYING,  boxer, Orlando Cruz,  football draft pick, Michael Sams, basketball player, Jason Collins, Mixed Martial Artist, transwoman Fallon Fox, the American Populous has seemingly lost their minds to idea of openly gay players being an active part of the team.  To speak on this from a personal perspective is a man who has been there and knows the struggles of being a team member, but not being able to be FREE around his colleagues without scorn.

Mr. Wade Davis, II, former NFL Tennessee Titan will dish on his experiences of being one of those players on the team, yet not being able to celebrate his individualism without it affecting how the team would react, coaches would respond, colleagues would behave, the family's reputation, and how he would be seen amongst the  fan base of the sport itself.  We will explore those days and how he was able to persevere and make a name for himself and how after he retired from the sport, found the courage to take a stand, come out, and then propel forward to become an advocate for LGBT youth with his You Can Play Project.

Hey there Tea Sippers!!  Today we are going to do this a tad bit differently; as I am still celebrating my birthday, AND this is going to be labeled as a Don't Come Out of a Bag, Wednesday, I want to focus on something that has been perplexing me for some time and that is The Plight of the Single Man in our culture.

As we all know, MEN have traditionally been raised to accept that they are the bread winners, providers, protectors, and the ones who make and enforce the rules, BUT whenever a man is in that space of having to get it together; unemployed, homeless, down and out at the moment and need some assistance, THERE ARE NO PROGRAMS AVAILABLE that will ASSIST him in getting up on his feet to care for himself; ESPECIALLY IF HE IS SINGLE with NO DEPENDENTS and GOD HELP US if we add being LGBT into the equation.

We are going to explore those things that keeps us as MEN unable to keep ourselves from slipping into darkness while needing to get our hustle on and make things better for ourselves.  Also, I have a couple of other topics to weigh in on: The MAN-gagement Ring  do you think a man should wear an engagement ring as well?  Who buys it? Does he get a second ring at the wedding??A Father finds his 11 year old daughter LIVING with a 30 something year old SEX PREDATOR as his sexual interest...What would YOU do if YOU were in that predicament?SINGLE, OVER 35 and LIVING AT HOME..... does this create laziness in MEN or does this give street credit to his image?

We are all aware of the Reality Show genre and whatever your opinions are about it, we see this cultural fad is not going anywhere for a while.  But what it does is have one to foster this question:  "What is the price one pays for such fame, accolades, applause, celebrity status, luxury and gratuitous praise?"  Do you think folks are Selling Out or Getting Paid?   What effect does these shows have on society culturally?  It is Don't Come out of a Bag, Wednesday where You are my co-host!  Whatever you wish to Dish, this or anything that is on your mind can and will be discussed on today's program.  Also, my second topic of discussion is one that is skated around and is never addressed by the masses:   Being Gay and Disabled.   Is this a difficult way of living for those who seem to have other pity them instead of revere them as strong people who have overcome adversity? With Gay Culture being so superficial, how does one with a disability date without having to prove themselves to be better than the percieved notions of what a "hadicapped" person should be and do?  Yeah, baby....this is a Hot Pot of Tea waiting to be dished so make sure you've got Plenty of Crumpets!
