In this episode, we unpack the stories behind Carlos Wallace's Medium blog that had people nodding their heads and shaking their fists at the same time. We talk about what it meant to grow up in a Black household where the TV remote was not about control, it was about protection. Where media was filtered not just for the language, but for the message. Where George Jefferson taught us how to stand tall, and my daddy made sure we never bowed our heads.
We dive into the programming that tried to box us in, the characters that shaped how we saw ourselves, and the Black leaders they conveniently left out of the classroom. From The Cosby Show to Tunis Campbell, this conversation is about legacy, media, memory, and why the truth still matters.
If you have ever questioned the stories we were told or the ones we were never given, this episode is for you. It is about protection. It is about pride. It is about knowing exactly who you are, even when the world tries to convince you otherwise.
