Ep 99 Rhetoric, Reality, And The Need For Community

Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 99 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Rhetoric, Reality, and the Need for Community.” This week, I start with a special message about my struggles with procrastination and how that almost shaped this episode. Between Dr. Claudine Gay’s resignation, Dr. Antoinette “Bonnie” Candia-Bailey’s untimely death, and Florida’s permanent ban of DEI on college campuses, this year has already shown itself to be one for which we must be prepared. Unfortunately, at the same time we need to have our best thinkers reasoning through strategies for collective Black freedom and wellness, we are offering seeing a general disregard for intellectualism. For Black folks in particular, this is a dangerous road and we must not travel it alone. I’d love to hear what you think about these ideas. And, if you’re really wanting to unpack the ideas around politics, voting, or culture, please consider being a guest on the podcast. Send me an email at drtip@tellemtiptoldyou.com. I’m a life coach helping folks reach holistic success over here while being your FAVORITE HBCU Prof! CORRECTIONS: I really wish I’d spent more time on Black women and our emotional well-being. My time on it in this episode feels a bit rushed, but I’ll get to it next week. When speaking about Taraji P. Henson, I misspoke and said her comments were about “higher education.” I actually meant “Hollywood.” Finally, I am no expert on Elon Musk and the source of his money has been up for discussion, but you can read more about his family here. After you tune in, let me know what you think of this episode by leaving me a 5-star review. Take care of each other so we can build together. #tellemtiptoldyou For more on Tellemtiptoldyou (the podcast on Black History, Black Spirituality, and Black Culture, be sure to follow Dr. Tip on Instagram (@tiffanydphd) and Facebook (@tellemtiptoldyou).
