Dear Millennials: Lit Ass Podcast

In the words of Mary J. Blige, “Heard it allll before!”. In honor of homecoming season, we are launching October’s episodes by discussing the often debated, “HBCUs vs PWIs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Predominantly White Institutions”. What do you think: Is being educated at a PWI is more beneficial than graduating from a HBCU? This episode is quite special, not only because IT’S OUR FIRST LIVE AUDIENCE SHOW of SZN 2, but because we have special guest Victoria Jones, Founder of The Collective. Enjoy this LIT ASS episode full of laughs and all things dope.

We are beyond the glory days of “My President is Black/ My Lambo’s Blue”. These are the days of our lives. In a time such as this, we are literally shaping the future through our decisions. On Episode 3, we’re sitting down with Ms. Danielle Jones, who is currently running for Memphis City Council, Super District 9, Position 2. We have real talk about today’s politics, lack of Black Millennial votes, reparations and more. Thanks for tuning in!

Summer 2019 has been proclaimed as the official Hot Boy/Hot Girl Summer. While everyone has been “living their best life”, many challenge whether this is a time for people to openly explore their sexuality or just live life happily. What do you think? Well, in honor of Hot Girl/Hot Boy Summer, enjoy as we reveal our “Hot Girl/Hot Boy Summer Confessions” from some of our listeners. Are you ready?

Guess who’s back! Back again! Yeah, We’re Back! Guess Who’s Back! Guess Who’s Back!” Welcome to the Season Two Premiere of Dear Millennials: The Lit Ass Podcast! In the words of Lil Wayne, “I like a long haired thick redbone….” On this episode, we explore colorism, discrimination, and preference. Is wrong that I’m attracted to dark skinned men? Is it okay that I prefer dating light skinned women? Is there a difference between preference and discrimination? If so, what is it? Get ready for a fun-filled episode of DM Commandments, Quickies, Living Single, New “Thot Brothers” segment, and more

“It’s so hard to say good-bye to yesterday”. Welcome to our Season 1 Finale where we have our VERY FIRST LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE JOINING IN WITH US! Was Day-Day right when he said, “You can’t f--- with the police”? Was N.W.A. wrong when they boldly stood on the motto “F--- the Police!” On Episode 15, we take a look into the impact of Ava Duvenay’s Netflix Series “When They See Us” with special guest TN State Representative London Lamar. Though the “Central Park 5” were WRONGLY convicted 30 years ago, many of those same injustices are occurring to Black and Brown people to date. This LIT ASS episode discusses the triggering impact of “When They See Us”, what the inequities and unfairness displayed in the film means for Black and Brown people, and how Millennials can help combat these issues for today and future generations.

“And since a man can't make one/He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one” - Tupac Amaru Shakur. With so much controversy surrounding anti-abortion laws, it’s time to read between the lines. Why are men making laws about a woman’s body? Does AmeriKKKa hate women? Do anti-abortion laws scold and discipline women more than men? Does it not take two to tango? How does AmeriKKKa’s abortion laws compare to over governing societies? And….. What does this really mean for women in America?

“WAKE UP!!!” Consider this episode: The State of the BGLO’s (Black Greek Letter Organizations) Address. During this episode, we explore the reality of being apart of BGLO’s and the image that they (we) portray. In light of Divine 9 organizations being sued more than R. Kelly’s legal battles with minors, is it worth it becoming “Made”? Is everyone technically “Paper”? We discuss tribalism, issues surrounding Black people being “Greek”, non-Black members initiated into BGLO’s, and more. As the “Litty Committee” comes close to closing Season 1, our “Lit Ass”listeners can look forward to the DM Commandments (Ish you need to live by in 2019), Hood Kode (Kodes of the Streets), Advice from the Love Doctor), and more. Listen in to what our callers have to say, as they answer the question: Is it wrong to deny transgender people membership into a Black Greek Letter Organization?

“I wanna get married, like the Currys, Steph and Ayesha $---”. In light of the controversy surrounding Ayesha Curry expressing her most vulnerable thoughts, it’s only right that we have a LIT ASS debate. Was Ayesha Curry wrong for expressing slight insecurities when not gaining little to or as much attention as her husband from the opposite sex? Is there a thin line between being real and talking too much? Let’s be real; are we not all flattered by attention from others?

For the first “LIT ASS” live show, the Litty Committee is dedicating Episode 11 to CHEATERS! Do you know cheaters? Have you ever been cheated on before? Are you a cheater? If so, you’ll absolutely love this episode. Enjoy an hour of big laughs, controversial commentary

Everyone other than Millennials has an opinion of who and what “millennials” are. This episode is dedicated to combating stereotypes of millennials that have been given by the outside world.

Welcome to Episode 8! Let’s talk “The State of The Culture”. With the recent death of Rapper and Community Empowerer Nipsey Hussel, its impact is arguably one of the most emotional losses of this generation. On this episode, we discuss the state of the Black Community, specifically Black Entertainment. Has Nip set the new standard for Black Entertainers? Is it fair for us to expect Black Entertainers to empower their communities?

Welcome to Episode 7! Let’s talk “Sex in the City”. What roles do genders play in the 21st Century? Have we truly evolved from “traditional” gender roles? Are we still slaves to gender roles?

Episode 6: Millennials Thou Art LooseCELEBRATING OVER 1,000 downloads, we're excited to be back for EPISODE 6! Thanks to everyone for your continued support! Today, the question is: Have we become more spiritual than religious? Are we living in a society that questions the legitimacy of Christianity? How has the Black Church changed? Is the Black Church still recognized as leaders of community activism and rights? Have mega churches killed the loyalty of Black Religion? On only our 6th episode, we compose a hilarious list of DM Commandments to live by in 2019. Thanks to our dedicated Dear Millennials listener, Miss Anonymous, for reaching out for relationship advice from the Love Doctor and Dear Millennials. Thanks for listening everyone
