In this episode of It's Coffie Time, Professor Coffie discusses the realities of the 94 Crime Bill in Black and Brown communities. In 1993 then-Senator Joe Biden stood on the floor of Congress to introduce what would become one of the most controversial and racially divisive pieces of legislation in modern history that would lead to what we now refer to as Mass Incarceration. While on the Presidential campaign trail, senator Elizebeth Warren called for the repeal of the 94 Crime Bill, joining the voices of advocates, legislators, and formerly incarcerated citizens to rectify the injustice of this legislation.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
