TKAM #804 #WakandaForever "The Blerd Gurl" & "Andre Leroy Davis"

Summary: Today we are joined by the fantastic and epic Karama Horn AKA: The Blerd Gurl and André LeRoy Davis, artist formerly from Source magazine’s “The Last Word” comic. Together we get to talk about Black Panther, the future and present of POC in nerd culture. And the Black voice that has always spoken, but wasn’t heard. #AirOutWednesday TK and Conscious start out the show by talking about self-care and enjoying the freakishly good weather in NYC. TK’s trying out Therapy Tuesdays again, and it’s getting there. Conscious gives his voice on the process of just discussing. André LeRoy Davis and The Blerd Gurl, Karama Horne joins us in the studio just in time to tell us who they are. In #NewsYouCanUse: Applebee’s in Missouri closed after racial profiling. Baltimore settled Korryn Gaines’ death at 37 million, but justice is still not served Following #ChatroomCheckin, we get to your air outs before sitting down for a real talk. Black Panther is the black movie that tells the story of humanity. And this isn’t the only black fictional hero. There’s Black Lightning, there’s black comic book characters and creators, people are out there. This is the black super era. We went into some OT, and gave tonssss of spoilers. Finally, we left on this question for everyone: what did you take away from Black Panther to enhance your life? It’s called AfroFuturism, but the future is now. #WakandanHandshake #AirOutWednesday Our Guests Kamara Horn AKA: The Blerd Gurl http://theblerdgurl.com/ IG: Twitter: @theblerdgurl Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theblerdgurl/?ref=hl Her mannifesto: http://theblerdgurl.tumblr.com/manifesto André LeRoy Davis http://andreleroydavis.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Art-of-Andre-LeRoy-Davis-aka-AL-Dre/108057843696 https://www.facebook.com/TheLastWordinHipHop/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/17-The-Revolution-Will-Be-Visualized/1400071593639397?ref=hl RUNDOWN 0:00 #SONG: Stevie Wonder - Superwoman 3:52 Intro: Therapy Tuesday; The Food Police; Process Conscious; The “hardware” story 14:16 #Guest: André LeRoy Davis 16:19 #SONG: Sammus - Crown 21:05 #Guest: BlerdGurl is in the building 25:25 #NewsYouCanUse: Applebee’s closed after racial profiling; The unjust settlement in Baltimore 41:50 #SONG: Unity Party Jam by Kurtis Blow 45:40 #GuestStory: André LeRoy Davis got his work stolen by the New Yorker 49:55 #Discussion: Freelancing and “getting paid”, stories from The Blerd Gurl & Andre Leroy Davis. #Discussion: Andre Leroy Davis talks about The black super era 70:16 #SONG: Stromae - Papaoutai 73:40 #ChatroomCheckin: Airouts 78:05 #CLIP: Hoda Katebi;Iranian opinion on nuclear weapons, a brief history lesson 82:50 #Discussion: Black Panther, Black Lighting, LGBTQ and Black representation in Media, the creators behind Black Panther, and 120:05 #SONG: Run D.M.C. - Proud to be Black #Outro: What did you take away from Black Panther that enhanced your life?
