All the way from Merrillville Indiana, Reesie Woods stops by and talks about his first EP Midnight! We dive into his personal body of work and talk about what we all relate to when the clock strikes 12. From chasing dreams, defying stereotypes, romance, and breaking out of our comfort zone, it is all discussed here!
Music with a Message: Can't Hardly Breathe

I am breaking down code-switching and Ebonics to shine a light on their powers. African Americans speak in many tongues but when we speak in our language "Ebonics" it is shunned. Not anymore! There is no need to code-switch because being yourself is how you get ahead and not acting like your oppressor. You all will hear commentary from Amandla Stenberg on code-switching in The Hate U Give and in reality, the powerful words of Sister Souljah and a spoken word on 3 Ways to Speak English by Jamila Lyiscott!
Love you for listening!
Stay Alert.
