WorkBytes - White Privilege At Work
It’s a familiar story: everyday conversations that make you think, Wow, this could be a podcast! But too often, something gets lost in translation—the spontaneity, the organic rhythms, the unfiltered honesty. As coworkers in a national chain, smack in the middle of what some would call “mega country,” we have the rare opportunity to record these conversations in real time. Got’s To Better My Brotha is built on those raw, authentic moments. In this spin-off series, we present the conversations that inspired our podcast—unedited and direct from the heart. In this first airing, we reflect on a powerful encounter where two white men approached us to discuss race and religion. While we couldn’t record the initial conversation, we documented our immediate reactions and reflections.

Classless Consciousness - The Luigi Mangione Effect on the issue of Race vs Class
The assassination Brian Thompson CEO of United Healthcare, by Luigi Mangione sent shockwaves through the nation—not just because of the act itself but because of the revelations it unleashed. For decades, the narrative has centered on race as the primary source of America’s divisions. But Mangione’s death brought the conversation of class to the forefront, exposing the one percent’s exploitation of the rest. In this episode, we examine how this pivotal event forced the nation to reconsider the power dynamics at play. Is class, not race, the real “big bad wolf” of our society? And how has this shift challenged both the left’s fight for class consciousness and the right’s attempts to obscure it? Join us as we dissect how this tragedy might redefine the story we tell about division and inequality in America.

Reclaiming The Angry Black Woman Trope as Their Most Enduring Trait - Strength ✊🏿
In this episode of The 1619 Party Podcast, we tackle the harmful “angry Black woman” stereotype and reframe it to honor the true beauty of our Black queens—their strength. As a Black man who has dated women from various ethnicities, I’ve seen the beauty in every culture. But when it comes to Black women, their strength is unmatched, born from a history of resilience in the face of oppression. We explore why society often views this strength through a negative lens and how it’s time to shift the narrative. By approaching our sisters with grace and love, we can dismantle these stereotypes and celebrate the power that has always defined Black women. Join us as we dive deep into what it means to uplift and honor our community.

A Manifesto for The New Black Wall Street and Why We Are Not Calling It "The New Black Wall Street"
Introducing The 1619 Party Podcast, where we explore the intersection of economics, politics, and culture within the African diaspora. In this inaugural episode, titled “A Manifesto for The New ‘Black’ Wall Street and Why We Are Not Calling It ‘Black’ Wall Street,” we interview Darren Sandy about his manifesto and his upcoming new book. Several years in the making, Darren dives deep into the idea of Black sovereignty. We discuss the ideas behind his plan for achieving this goal, the practical steps necessary to bring it to life, and why a violent revolution is more likely to fail. We also delve into the word “Black” itself and why Darren believes it no longer serves us, offering a fresh perspective on how language shapes our identity and limits our progress. Join us as we explore Darren’s strategic blueprint for a future where our communities achieve true independence and lasting prosperity, free from the constraints of outdated labels.

In this episode, we unpack the key moments from the Democratic National Convention, where the stakes couldn't be higher. As fear and faith battle for dominance in the political arena, we explore how these forces shape the narrative of an election that presents a clear choice between democracy and authoritarianism. What role does fear play in driving voters toward stability, and how does faith inspire a commitment to preserving democratic values? We also examine the growing perception that the two major parties are converging, and whether this election offers a real choice between distinct visions for America's future. Join us as we navigate the complexities of modern politics, where fear and faith compete not just for space, but for the soul of the nation. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on what’s truly at stake in the 2024 election, and how the battle between democracy and authoritarianism will define the future of our country.

It's 4:36 AM Monday August 12th - The Second Spiritual Re-awakening.
After a long and discouraging month of ministry at my workplace —where every effort to find common ground despite our differences seemed to fall short I experienced a profound spiritual awakening. As I reflected on Matthew 4:23, which tells of Jesus teaching in synagogues, proclaiming the good news, and healing every disease and sickness, I realized that while Jesus focused on physical healing, we are called to carry forward His work of spiritual healing. This revelation renewed my commitment to the mission, reminding me that sometimes, offering a listening ear can be more powerful than delivering a message. It is in that listening that the value exchange begins. The Value Exchange Website The Value Exchange YouTube Channel Sound equipment courtesy of https://instagram.com/micbikesnyc

The New Capitalism Thesis : Why Trickle Down Economics Doesn’t Work and How We can Fix it
Hello neighbors Trev here - In 2020, during the George Floyd protests, I observed activists mobilizing crowds to donate money through cash apps based on sheer charisma. I wondered why a charismatic BLM activist isn’t valued like a young tech entrepreneur. Possibly... Supply-side economics supports working with trickle-down effects. However, it lacks incentives to channel momentum into sustainable efforts, as capitalists focus solely on self-sustenance. Activists, meanwhile, recognize the need to convert this momentum but often lack a coalition to efficiently sustain the community. This podcast explains how we are leveraging the best of both worlds to achieve sustainability through The Value Exchange.

The Organic Donut - The Evolution of Capitalism
We are remixing the innovative donut model introduced by economist Kate Raworth where the surplus supports the shortfall in an organic self-perpetual model of sustainability. Originating from our latest acronym CEM (The Capitalist Enhancement Model) the goal is to build a sustainable economic justice model that taps into the incentives of capitalism which are innovation and sustainability so that it self-replicates this model and achieves economic justice. In other words... we encourage the capitalist to imitate business models that work, if that business model that works is centered on economic justice.

Are We Spiritually Immature?
Spiritual maturity involves deeply understanding and integrating spiritual principles into our lives to promote sustainability and community well-being. This requires recognizing our shortcomings, such as actions that harm the environment or social justice, and being willing to change. Misinterpreting scripture can be a sign of spiritual immaturity; for instance, a child's misinterpretation of a parent's discipline as anger parallels how we might misunderstand Jesus expelling the merchants from the temple. Was this an act of anger, or was it righteous discipline aimed at restoring sacredness and justice? Achieving spiritual maturity involves continuous learning, applying spiritual insights to promote sustainability, collaborating to address societal issues, and maintaining humility. This maturity helps us align our actions with ethical and spiritual values, fostering a sustainable future grounded in care, compassion, and stewardship. Additionally, we will be discussing the launch of our church and the form our ministry will take to embody these principles.

Navigating Ideological Bubbles: Roger Fortson and Cultivating Accountability, Empathy, and Forgiveness
We take an introspective look at the dynamics of ideological bubbles, with a particular focus on a recent case involving the killing of Airman Roger Fortson by a Florida Police Officer. These bubbles often place the self or the group at the center, creating an environment where different perspectives are not only ignored but often unwelcome. A critical aspect of such bubbles is the immunity they grant to internal beliefs or leaders, putting them beyond any form of critique. In acknowledging that the only entity that should be beyond reproach is God, we recognize the importance of humility and openness in our discussions. This session aims to explore how recognizing and dismantling these dynamics within our bubbles, in light of such tragic incidents, can lead to more productive and empathetic engagements, paving the way for genuine connections and sustained dialogue. We delve into themes of accountability, empathy, and forgiveness to enrich our understanding and foster healing in our communities.

Before The Fall - A Spiritual Discussion on Humility on Race, on Art and The Sustainability of it All
In many spiritual traditions, pride is often viewed as a significant barrier to true communal harmony and spiritual growth. This idea is encapsulated in the adage "pride cometh before the fall," which serves as a cautionary reminder that those who hold themselves in excessively high regard are often at risk of a greater downfall. This excessive pride can lead to isolation and weaken the fabric of trust and respect that is essential for community cohesion. When pride influences racial identities, it can exacerbate divisions, causing individuals to retreat into their respective corners, reinforcing prejudices and obstructing meaningful dialogue. Humility, fostered through acknowledging one's own limitations and flaws, is crucial not only for spiritual development but also for bridging racial divides. It strengthens community bonds by promoting understanding and respect across different backgrounds. Without it, communities risk deepening divisions and suffering spiritual and moral decline, emphasizing the need for humility to maintain a healthy, interconnected communal environment.

Organic vs. Organized Religion - Alternative Spaces For Spirituality + Our Open Mic Poetry Readings
This week on The Fellowship for the first time we post to the podcast moments from our first hour of The Value Exchange where we catch up on the various activities from our group. We then go into our hot topic, where we examine the differences between organic and structured spiritual communities. This session will explore how traditional religious organizations and casual spiritual groups meet varying spiritual needs. We will consider the structured guidance and community provided by formal churches compared to the adaptability and personal touch of organic groups, which typically convene in unconventional spaces and emphasize personal spirituality and shared practices.

Seeking Equilibrium - Immediate Well-being vs. Long Term Sustainability
In this episode, we explore the wisdom of Titus 3:14, emphasizing the importance of good works to meet urgent needs, guided by our values. We delve into a critical question: How do we balance addressing immediate needs with fostering long-term sustainability? Guided by three perspectives—the spiritual, the practical, and the philosophical—we seek to find harmony in our actions. The spiritual view highlights our actions as pathways to spiritual fulfillment. The practical approach focuses on effective strategies and resource management for immediate and sustainable impact. Meanwhile, the philosophical angle encourages deep reflection on our motivations and the ethical implications of our choices. This episode is an invitation to both action and introspection, encouraging us to maintain our spiritual well-being while working towards a better world. Through combining spiritual depth, practical wisdom, and philosophical inquiry, we aim to navigate the complexities of meeting immediate needs while ensuring sustainability. Whether it's through volunteering, mindful living, or fostering deeper connections with those around us, this episode is a call to action and introspection. Let's embark on this journey together, learning to sustain our efforts towards a better world while ensuring our spiritual well-being remains a priority.

The Impact of Racist Remarks and Conversations Leading to Employee Resignation
Overhearing a conversation riddled with racist remarks about illegal immigration at work is not only deeply troubling but also indicative of a significant problem within the workplace culture. Such discussions, laden with harmful stereotypes and blatant racism, not only undermine the principles of respect and dignity but also create an environment that is palpably hostile and exclusionary. The severity of the impact these conversations have cannot be understated, as they can drive employees to feel so alienated and distressed that they see no other option but to resign. This situation highlights an urgent need for immediate action to address and rectify the underlying issues of implicit bias and racism, fostering a workplace that genuinely values diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's a call to action for organizational leadership and employees alike to engage in meaningful dialogue, education, and policy review to ensure that all team members feel safe, respected, and valued. Join us at The Value Exchange Project as we navigate through compelling discussions, uncover insights, and explore common ground in an effort to celebrate diversity and encourage open dialogue.

Israel Palestine the Holy Scripture and Capitalism - Day 4: The Value Exchange Project - Wrap!
In a remarkable encounter at work, my coworker and I delved into a series of contentious topics—gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, Trump versus Black Lives Matter, border security, and religion—despite our starkly opposing views. What could have easily turned into a heated debate, instead unfolded as a respectful and insightful discussion, characterized by an atmosphere of grace and mutual respect. We navigated these sensitive issues with open minds, listening intently to each other's perspectives and presenting our own viewpoints thoughtfully.

She never again troubled the charts or performed on primetime TV. But in Ireland, she inspired a generation of female artists who finally had someone to look up to – singers such as Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries and Róisín Murphy who, like O’Connor, refused to let the industry tell them what they could or could not do. O’Connor herself never wavered in her feelings about the incident. She was proud of her actions. “A lot of people say or think that tearing up the pope’s photo derailed my career,” she wrote in her memoir. “That’s not how I feel about it. I feel that having a No 1 record derailed my career and my tearing the photo put me back on the right track… Far from the pope episode destroying my career, it set me on a path that fit me better.” RIP The Value Exchange Website The Value Exchange YouTube Channel Sound equipment courtesy of https://instagram.com/micbikesnyc

How to organize an event and have it thrive without getting co-opted and commercialized!
Welcome to Business Anatomy. A podcast that dissects what it takes to build, manage, promote and grow your business. In this episode - How did we get from yard jams and the Sound System, to Reggae Rise Up and over produced commercialized art? From the block party and the basement jam, to mega shows and Red Bull Tents? From 3 Days of Peace and Music, to The Trainwreck and Profit-stock? With these art forms, there seemed to be a choice between pure unsustainability or commercial success. This podcast argues that there is a third less traveled path to growth. One that stays true to the art, while embracing sustainably. Welcome to Business Anatomy. The Free Market Model.

It was from the New York Community Choir, who put out a bunch of amazing cuts around that time. Here's a quick blurb on them: Formed in the early '70s as an offshoot of the popular, Grammy-nominated Isaac Douglas Singers, The New York Community Choir originally consisted of some one hundred members under the direction of Benny Diggs and included prominent writer Arthur Freeman. The Choir first came to national prominence in the U.S. in 1971 on a much-acclaimed recording by renowned poet Nikki Giovanni, The Truth Is On Its Way. Another offshoot of the choir, Revelation Movement (which included Diggs and Freeman) was formed to primarily do secular rather than gospel shows and morphed in 1974 into Revelation consisting of Diggs and Freeman along with Philip Ballou and Arnold McCuller. The quartet signed to RSO Records where they recorded one album. In 1977, The New York Community Choir signed with RCA Records: their self-titled debut LP included the dance hit, "Express Yourself". Released in 1978, their follow-up set, Make Every Day Count (with a group name change to NYCC), was produced like its predecessor by RCA executive Warren Schatz, and included seven original songs along with a cover of I’ll Keep My Light in My Window, a tune originally recorded by the duo Caston & Majors for Motown (later also cut by Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye). The album boasted arrangements by Leon Pendarvis (the co-leader of the Saturday Night Live band) and featured such stellar New York session musicians as Paul Shaffer and Richard Tee on keyboards, Jeff Mironov and John Tropea on guitars, Errol Crusher Bennett on percussion, Will Lee on bass and Steve Gadd on drums. The album s infectious title track became popular particularly in East Coast discos, and has remained a popular inspirational anthem among gospel and R&B music lovers. The original LP is making its worldwide CD debut with this release by Real Gone Music in association with Soul Music Records, and this Expanded Edition includes six-minute plus 12 single versions of Make Every Day Count and I ll Keep My Light in My Window, with liner notes by SoulMu
