The Hate We Give ft. Vei
Wednesday Nov 10, 2021
Wednesday Nov 10, 2021
This week on Simply King, I am featuring one of my favorite repeat guests to come back and join me about a conversation that, I believe is necessary and certainly a start of many. We spoke to the phenomenon that heterosexual men truly show a genuine disdain for women socially, economically, sexually, to name a few aspects of this behavior. We brokedown the why this occurs so often and is engrained into society no matter the race or culture. We provided solutions to this trend hoping that all listening can share and build on the why this is so we can shift this paradigm.

Lyrical Audacity Vol.1 : You Don't Know My Name
Wednesday Aug 18, 2021
Wednesday Aug 18, 2021
Inspired by a recent random post on my Instagram, I thought to make an entire dedication to breaking down classic songs meaning and why the artist felt the need to create an entire song about it. The first volume is a classic song by Alicia Keys, a single from her first album, I break down the obvious and not so obvious themes throughout the song and the video. In addition, I threw in another short breakdown in honor of my grandmother's birthday of the classic blues track by Johnnie Taylor " Cheaper to Keep Her".

Necessary Lines
Monday Aug 09, 2021
Monday Aug 09, 2021
This week I gotta shoutout BX's own my friend Sharae, for inspiring me to make this episode. My SendItON CTA for my Men Be Sharing Ep., which was to write down all of your boundaries in categories and keep them with you. In this episode I break down the importance of setting boundaries early especially in romantic connections. Being able to self-advocate within friendships, relationships, or with your immediate family is truly a practice of protecting your peace and agency. I talk about if boundaries can conflict what you could do as well as the key point in setting boundaries is you have to communicate and assert those boundaries once you become aware.

Monday Aug 02, 2021
Monday Aug 02, 2021
This week I have a return guest that was featured on episode titled Khloe's Fro, Go check out that episode as well. She returned to update me on the status of the book since she did release right before the pandemic shook the world. In that time she was able to reassess how she wanted the book to be consumed and the range of audience that could receiver her message. My Beautiful Black Hair seems to be a substantial narrative of black women and their relationship with their hair. We discussed the process she went through to get an agent and an editor, men staying out of women's hair business, and how this rendition is still at the core a dedication to her sister Khloe and all Black women and girls of the world.

Monday Feb 08, 2021
This week I have my first guest of the year, with the multi-hyphenate truly a Jamaican American man with "fourteen jobs".

Andrew delivered messaging that didn't hold back and took the idea of "Men" as a concept in human existence truly to task. We both conversed at pretty high degree on so many male-centered flaws and how it could be different.

#BlackMenAdmit
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
This week is an all around call of action episode, I call out all men to admit to their personal transgressions to Black women and our LGBTQIA+ brothers and sisters. I challenge all men to change the paradigm of Black men being the first person to commit any type of trauma to those that we love most. This week's Send It On call to action is for men to contribute to the hashtag that is #blackmenadmit speaking to their oppressive mistakes or behavior. In addition to start to truly hold each other accountable for resolving and protecting our issues with the black people we have harmed. #AllBlackLivesMatter
