We are back!  ⁨@chanpods⁩  and I are back for season 2 of Talks They Don't Want to Have. This episode we discussed the importance of reading and the literacy crisis in the modern American society.

A literacy crisis refers to a widespread decline in people’s ability to read, understand, and use written language effectively, a term most commonly used to describe the sharp drop in reading skills and comprehension among U.S. students and adults in recent years.

Updating the description tomorrow!

We discuss public executions, disruptive neighbors, and "acute adhd" / safety within schools.

We are back with episode two of Talks They Don't Want to Have. In this episode, we discuss "The Talk." The talk means something in every household, but this talk is specific to Black people or American descendants of slavery. We discuss the talk's impact (positive and negative) on our youth and ourselves. We talk about Nolan Wells and how, even though we live in 2026, "The Talk" is still necessary. 

Make sure to leave a comment and engage. Remember our pillars: Respect, Communication, and Consistency. 

Huge thanks to @chanpods for collaborating.

Just as the Black community impacts culture, it continues to be a force during elections. 

According to Pew Research Center, there are 34,450,000 eligible Black voters in the U.S. - 14% of all eligible voters. The bulk of those voters live in the south (We're talking to you, Texas, Georgia, and Florida). Nowhere are Black voters more critical than in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina where races are so close that they have been decided by a few thousand votes.

While some states try to roll back voting rights and protections, Black voters c...
