Black frats, hazing & deaths in 2025? Why? Are there lessons in the loss of Caleb Wilson at Southern University? The young band member, musician and engineering student died as a result of injuries sustained unsanctioned pledging Omega Psi Phi.
Three members are charged with crimes and the president of the Omega Psi Phi graduate chapter was suspended from his role with Southern University's legendary band.
Author and lecturer Shahid M. Allah joined us April 15 to offer insight into this subject. He is a lecturer, member of Omega Psi Phi and author of "Thy Kingdom Come," which takes a deep look into Black fraternities, symbolism and deep wisdom that needs to be taught for change.
Hosts Naba'a Richard Muhammad, a member of Kappa Alpha Psi, and James G. Muhammad, a member of Omega Psi Phi, joined the discussion about fraternal principles, pledging experiences, why it's time to end hazing, growing into greater knowledge and understanding of higher understanding as well as the brotherhood of the NOI's Fruit of Islam, where there is no hazing.

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.
