TR!BE podcast

Taivy sits down to have a candid discussion with her father, Ivan about Addiction. He tackles the nature of his own addiction and experience with substance abuse through tales filled with pain and funny lessons to be learned for over 20 years. Today’s episode highlights just how fast one bad decision can lead to another. How impulse can cost you precious time and memories.  But for those fortunate enough to survive the consequences of their actions (prison, overdoses, violence etc) and make it through to the other side deserve acknowledgement of their journey and more. In many ways, Ivan is as much a victim to his vice as he has been a perpetrator of his choices. Now, for the first time he is able to open up about his life and tell his truth to the world free of judgement. Taivy takes the time to learn more about the man who was in and out of her life for 2 decades and piece together moments in time that were always a mystery. This episode was recorded on March 27th, 2021- Just shy of 2 weeks to the day that our community lost DMX. He was someone who represented truth and defined the culture at a time where authenticity reigned supreme in music. For Ivan, DMX was a beacon of veracity. Unapologetic and imperfect but he knew the value of his craft. Addiction is a disease of the mind that can manifest in many forms. Unfortunately, Earl Simmons’ story has come to an end but that does not mean the discussion around drugs and addiction has to as well. Now is the perfect time to open up the dialogue surrounding pain, coping, escapism and more. The black community has a lot of work to do when it comes to supporting our people and breaking out of vicious cycles. Listen in on today’s episode as Taivy and her father discuss his life, near death experiences and his opinion on New York State FINALLY legalizing cannabis. Politics, economics, and society as a whole.

In this episode,  we talk about colorism within different cultures. Our guest speaker, Kiema talks about her experience living in South Korea, and the effect colorism has on South Korea and East Asia as a whole. Is colorism a thing in asian communities? Kiema discusses her experience as a teacher while using that opportunity to positively influence her students. We also analyze the problem of colorism in media such as the Disney channel, Coco Jones vs. Zendaya, interracial representation in film (ie; Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani from Love Birds) and lastly how to solve this issue.

We talk about changes in our everyday life, the spiritual connection to this year, and what this all really could mean, the changes the show went through, and dating life during the pandemic. Kerrin and I decided to record this episode to keep all of you guys in the loop and address the current state of the world before taking a dive into the next official season of TRIBE. We chose this time to reflect on the past year of 2020 and decompress in this conversation about the New Normal.

Hello lovely TR!BE listeners! Kerrin and I are back with a new episode outside of our regular lineup. When preparing for season 2, a lot erupted in the world between January 2020 and June 2020. Schools closed, People died from CoVid19, and our fellow people yet again are suffering through the Black Lives Matter movement. We just lost Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Sean Reed, and so many more that most likely were not even caught on camera. Now there's protesting. riots, and looting all during campaign season, and a pandemic. People are still looking for jobs (Especially us college Grads). But how do we feel about all of this? Today we sit down to chat freely about what's been going on in our hearts and minds over the past few weeks. Come and hear how we are coping. Maybe this episode will be helpful and relatable. At the very least, TR!BE wants to use this time to support the bigger picture and represent black voices in this space.
