In this episode, we step into the sacred space of healing, the kind that too many Black girls were never given permission to enter.

We All Fall Short of the Glory
In this thought-provoking episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari, we dive deep into a question most believers avoid: If the God Christians claim to follow were to return today, would any of them be ready? For generations, the phrase “we all fall short of the glory” has been used to justify contradictions, cover up hypocrisy, and excuse the lack of genuine spiritual gro...
Podcast Description: “Exodus From the Pulpit – Why African Americans Are Leaving the Black Church”
In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari, we delve into the growing exodus of African Americans from the Black church, an institution once regarded as the heartbeat of our community. What was once a sanctuary of liberation has, for many, become a stage of hypocrisy,...
Episode Description — “Mental Fitness After Church Hurt”
In this powerful and healing episode, Tafari delves deeply into the emotional and psychological impact of what happens when the church, the place meant to heal, becomes the source of hurt. Too many in our community have been told to “pray it away” instead of being encouraged to process, rest, and recover. However, this conversation is about more than pain; it’s a...
🎧 Episode Description — Exodus, Empire, and Us
In this explosive episode, Tafari breaks down one of the most influential stories ever written —the Exodus —and exposes the distinction between myth, metaphor, and historical reality. For generations, we were told the Bible’s story of Hebrew slaves fleeing Egypt was documented history. However, when you look beyond the pulpit and into the archaeological record, one truth ...
🎧 Episode Title: Mental Health Check — It’s Not a Sin to Be Tired
In this episode, Tafari takes a deep, unapologetic look at the intersection between mental health and religion in the Black community. For too long, we’ve been told to “pray it away” when what we really need are practical resources, rest, and real conversations.
Tafari challenges the mindset that exhaustion is a sign of a lack of faith and exposes how th...
For generations, the Black community has been taught to seek salvation in the church, but what happens when religion replaces responsibility? In this powerful episode, Tafari breaks down how misplaced faith and economic dependence have stalled Black progress and why it’s time to shift from praying to planning, from sermons to strategy.
This conversation challenges the idea that Jesus will fix what we’ve been given the ...
For centuries, Black people have been chasing a seat at a table that was never built for us. In this explosive episode, Tafari exposes the myth of equality and the dangerous illusion of inclusion that continues to keep our people asleep. From the stripping of voting rights to the redrawing of political districts, from the erasure of African American history to the closing of Black museums, the message is clear: they w...
In this powerful episode, Tafari explores the heartbeat of truth in the Black community, the legacy of Black journalism in America. Before social media, before television cameras, before digital newsrooms, there were the fearless pens, presses, and voices of our ancestors who refused to let white America define our story.
From Freedom’s Journal in 1827, boldly declaring “We wish to plead our own cause,” to Ida B. Wells...
In this powerful episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari, we explore a bold vision: The Great Migration 2.0. What if Black America chose to move as one, not to scatter, but to gather, and reclaim Mississippi as a hub of political, cultural, and economic power?
Tafari breaks down the history of Mississippi, the struggles and sacrifices of those who came before, and the untapped potential of concentrat...
Who is Tafari, and why do I speak so boldly to my people? In this episode, I take you on a personal journey, from the lessons I inherited from my father and mother, to the million-dollar businesses they built, to the values passed down through generations. I ask a hard question: Have we lost our masculinity in the Black community? Not masculinity as the world defines it, but the mental force, for men and women, that d...
In this episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari, we confront the battlefield of economics head-on. Tafari delivers an urgent call to the Black community: it’s time to buy Black, not just as consumers, but as warriors wielding the most powerful weapon we have, our collective dollar.
For forty days and forty nights, from October 1st through November 9th, Tafari challenges us to redirect our spending, c...
In this thought-provoking episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing our people today: Why can’t the Black community get itself together economically?
Despite centuries of systemic oppression, discrimination, and deliberate obstacles placed in our path, is it time we stop leaning on the white power structure as the only explanation for our str...
In this episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations, I will confront one of the most uncomfortable truths about the Bible: it was not only misused by white enslavers, but it was also written in a way that enabled slavery, oppression, and domination. From verses commanding slaves to obey their masters, to laws endorsing genocide and silencing women, scripture provided the blueprint that European colonizers weaponize...
The Transformation of Tafari
In this episode, I'm taking you on a deeply personal journey from the strict pews of a fire-and-brimstone church to the liberating discovery of my own truth. Raised in a devout Christian household, I witnessed firsthand the contradictions, hypocrisies, and control that shaped the faith of my family and community. But when the church turned its back on me, I found something far greater:...
The Walking Dead of Faith
In this episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari, we confront one of the hardest truths in our community: the mental enslavement that religion has wrapped around African Americans for centuries. We explore how European powers didn’t just chain the body, they chained the mind, using the Bible as a tool to strip away African identity, self-worth, and power.
I break down why so ...
Africa Without Chains: The Nation That Could Have Been
What would Africa look like today if European colonization had never touched her shores?
Before the Berlin Conference carved up the continent… before missionaries replaced ancestral wisdom with the Bible… Africa was a powerhouse of empires, trade networks, and spiritual systems rooted in community and nature.

🎙️ Episode Title: More Questions Than Answers
Podcast: Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari
This week, I dive into the messy, uncomfortable, and necessary conversation about faith—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it always seems to raise more questions than it answers.
From challenging the contradictions in the Bible to unpacking the arrogance of assuming your faith is the truth, I will take a fearless...
In this episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari, I take a hard look at the connection between Southern religion, generational trauma, and the self-hatred plaguing Black communities across America.
Why do we see so much violence, pain, and despair in the very neighborhoods that are saturated with churches?
Why are Black men taught to fear themselves while worshiping a God that looks nothing like t...
In this powerful episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari, we tackle one of the most uncomfortable questions in religion: Why do prayers go unanswered?
I expose the painful truth many refuse to acknowledge — the countless believers who pray for years without a single sign of change. From the old Black woman who’s given her life to worship to the pastor who moves the goalpost with every “pray harder” s...
