Join me as we talk about the recent release of Bill Cosby and the suspension of world class athlete Sha'Carri Richardson after testing positive for marijuana. Do they deserve second chances? If so, or if not, why? Do you deserve a second chance at something that you aren't giving yourself? Join me and walk with me during this episode. Thank you very much and I love each and every one of you. Email request for topics send them to [email protected]. Until next time, much love. 

I speak about the Atlanta massage parlor shootings, Asian American targeted hate driven incidents and crimes and what the root of the issue may been when these instances continue to occur time after time. READING RECOMMENDATION: We Gon' Be Alright Notes on Racism and Resegregation by Jeff Chang 

My thoughts on the response almost one year after the first case of COVID-19 in the United States, the UK and South African variants and my own experience with having COVID. Stay safe and thank you each and every person for tuning in. All of you are great and I appreciate every one of you! Love. 

In this episode I give my thoughts on the institution of America, her ideals, practices and the things gone unsaid and done that reared their head on the Capitol yesterday. I give my thoughts and reaction to the storming of the Senate yesterday 1/6/2021 and how unsurprising it was and is to a lot of Americans that are minority. Will we be better to one another instead of trying to benefit ourselves in spite of one another? Does America have the strength to deal with it's past transgressions in order to move forward so yesterday doesn't happen again? We will see and I will pray. 

I catch you guys up on what's been going on in my life since the last recording, my apologies. We talk about the upcoming election, thoughts on the two Presidential debates and the VP debate also. Expedited confirmations in the Senate and the growing list of distasteful tactics being used in the name of politics.

My thoughts on the assassinations of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd. I speak on no knock warrants, excessive force, riots/looting. I talk about a conversation I have with my son and the dangers that he will face, no parent should have to take away some of their child's innocence and replace it with cautiousness. What it means to be black in America and where it has all of this come from. Share and keep listening. Treat others with the compassion and love that you have for your loved ones and see the bridges you build and the hearts that are brought together. 

My thoughts about the rumors of the corona virus, those at the front lines and those that have been affected by this pandemic worse than others. Politics, disenfranchisement and what will happen if we don't adjust and change for our collective future. Just my thoughts on all of it and it is pretty sad and daunting to look at how things aren't slowing down when we are trending towards opening everything back up.  Please be safe everyone and as always I love each and every one of you. Thank you again- V

Talk Your Truth is back with an episode about a recent conversation that I had with a coworker about gentrification and their support of it. In this episode I frame the conversation and our differing opinions on the subject and how all of this can be contributed to ignorance and a lack of empathy that we have for one another. More to come soon, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for tuning in.  With love, V. 

First episode of 2020!!!!! Goals for Talk Your Truth with V for the new year. A brief conversation about dating one person or "talking" to multiple people at a time and my thoughts on this. How I believe this shouldn't be forgotten when it comes to the "New Year, New Me" mantra that is adopted ever so often when it comes to a new year. More to come soon!!!

In this episode I talk about Elizabeth Banks blaming men for her movie underperforming and using feminism as a distraction that her movie just was not executed to the level it should have been. Also, Twitter Feminist Liz Shannon Miller trying to call cancel culture for Disney+ "The Mandalorian" for the lack of what she feels the representation should be. I call them out and challenge them to be better and see the reality of the world around you. 

The NCAA is entering the voting process is which they will vote to allow student athletes to profit from a percentage of the revenue the university brings in for athletics. Nay sayers to this proposal and the slippery slope it may create. My thoughts on this is here. Would you work for free in hopes eventual success when it could be over with one injury? Thank you for all of the supporters for helping cross the milestone of 500 listens for Talk Your Truth with V. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and God bless. #TalkYourTruth #TalkYourTrithwithV #TYT

My reaction to the Amber Guyger sentencing for killing a man in his own home. What does this mean? Will Black lives continue to be undervalued and worthless to those that do not occupy the same space? Let's talk about it. Thank you for listening #TalkYourTruthers. I love you all and we will keep rocking together.
