Episode notes
Nnekay is still here, she’s still in New York! James is showing her the sights! World Trade Center Monument, The High Line, The Stonewall Inn, a… bone… mall? Also James is excited to share his mutant power, which might not get him accepted into Professor X’s institute. Did you know Madonna dated Tupac? The wonder twins discuss. Did you know that DeMario Jackson (from Bachelor in Paradise) asked Britney Spears out? James got to experience the fabulous Phylicia Rashad… sleep for most of the play? In James’s Korner, we’re discussing a tough topic (Trigger Warning). With the recent suicide of Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, James dives into one of the causes he was incredibly vocal about: Child Molestation. James breaks down some of the statistics from the website Darkness to Light, to squash a lot of the misconceptions that are spread. Also, James shares some tactics on how to protect those children that surround us. Next up! We try something new with a Super Soul Sunday. With all the intense conversations and whirlwind recording, we take a page from Oprah’s book and discuss self worth, shared histories, race, and gentrification.
