Brandon Fleming, the founder of the Harvard Debate Council Diversity Project, a world-class educator, and author of the best-selling book Miseducated, was once a kid who struggled to read, sought refuge in the streets, and attempted suicide as a relief mechanism. As he became a young man, he held on to his childhood ideals and ultimately became a college dropout...but sometimes all it takes is one person to stoke your internal flame and redirect you to your place of passion. That happened to Mr. Fleming; now, he lives inside his passion, serving others in the capacity he once sought to be served.

This episode is one of the most inspirational hours in the While Black catalog, and it will motivate you to live ... live differently, live authentically, and live out loud.

Tap in as we delve into why black banks, and specifically Greenwood bank, are so important and how intentional we MUST be if we are going to create the world we say we want.  The mission requires sacrifice and inconvenience at times...are you really down for the cause???? If you are, then prove it.

This amazing two-part episode features the powerful Shawn Mac a former federal agent turned civil rights attorney.   Mac gives a no-nonsense perspective on the state of policing and shares the  same advice he gives to his children and family to help them survive police encounters.  I'm serious, this two-part series will bless you with the information needed for you and your loved ones to come home alive after a police engagement. 

The episode is made better by joining our new Patreon family ().  The benefits are rich and will be enriched even more by the upcoming release of behind-the-scenes videos (from the gun range) featuring Mac with other military/law enforcement folks giving gun safety direction, discussing the importance of black women and weapons, plus giving us needed information on the 2nd amendment. Join our Patreon community to get this and more exclusive content, all designed to enrich the podcast listening experience and make us all better.- "We Gon Be Alright".

It's a new chapter, and we are excited to be part of the REVOLT Podcast Network.  In addition, today, we are celebrating our launch on Patreon.  Be one of the first to join our community and gain access to new and exclusive content/tools designed to make us all better.  Join at Patreon.com/Whileblack

Our first episode on REVOLT is a powerful one.  There are few people who have been as central to the current fight for social justice as Attorney Ben Crump.  He has represented the families of some of the most well-known police brutality cases in history, including Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd, and during our conversation, he chats about each.   

However, the conversation doesn't stop there - Ben digs in on a range of topics, including the problem he sees as more significant than police brutality, his views on voting and the importance of jury duty, and how he manages his own mental wellness as he fights for equality and justice.  Brother Ben also let us in on something else he and his team are working on - a new music venture (Tenacious Dawgs Music) where they are focused on sharing information and inspiration through music. (Stick around at the end of the episode for a listen)
