Couch Potatoes,
We’re back with another engaging episode!
This week, we highlight remarkable Black innovators whose contributions to America deserve more recognition, including Stanley O’Neal, Daniel Hale Williams, Floyd Norman (Disney’s first Black cartoonist), Lonnie Johnson (creator of the Nerf Super Soaker), and Robert Robinson Taylor (the first Black architect and designer of Tuskegee University’s buildings, Class of 1892).
In this episode, we also delve into pressing current events:
• A tragic case—a mother of five arrested after two of her children died in a van from hyperthermia.
• Maryland sentencing—a woman receives life in prison after police discover the decomposing bodies of her niece and nephew in her trunk during a traffic stop.
• Education and politics—15 states that rely most on federal funding for public schools in 2022, yet voted for Trump, speak out.
• Elon Musk’s son, X, makes headlines with comments about “Donald Duck.”
• TMZ’s exclusive Wendy Williams interview—the truth comes to light.
