In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and Jason “Jah” Lee for a timely deep dive into Black History Month, racist laws in America, cultural stereotypes, and modern racism, opening with a frank discussion about the legacy and ongoing effects of racist legislation and why historical truth still faces resistance today [00:53]. The crew connects these themes to their own personal education journeys and lived experiences with how Black history is taught — or omitted — in schools [02:46], leading into a candid conversation about ignorance, self-education, and the gaps many adults still have in understanding Black historical contributions [06:04]. They then unpack the controversy surrounding Critical Race Theory and curriculum limitations, examining how political pressure shapes what students are allowed to learn [08:55], before spotlighting key historical figures and their lasting social and cultural impact [11:49].

The discussion expands into cultural stereotypes and long-standing misconceptions about Black identity [15:02], followed by a nuanced breakdown of racial slurs, historical context, and how language evolves across generations [17:51]. From there, the hosts return to the structural level, outlining major racist laws and their real historical consequences [21:03], including miscegenation laws and the policing of interracial relationships [23:50]. The conversation then bridges past to present through examples of modern racism and current events [27:07], before shifting toward media analysis and the portrayal of Black culture in pop culture and entertainment [30:02]. Music is highlighted as a powerful tool of protest, preservation, and social commentary within Black history [32:47], with specific attention paid to controversial songs and their cultural ripple effects [36:03]. The episode closes with a direct call to action for listeners to pursue deeper education, cultural literacy, and historical awareness beyond performative celebration [38:52], reinforcing the show’s commitment to informed dialogue around Black history, race, education, and representation.

In this episode, Jacquees and Producer Jason Torres join the conversation to unpack the power of Black history with Michael Harriot, the absurdity of whitewashed narratives, and why understanding the past is the real flex. They break down the term “Drapetomania”—the so-called “mental illness” that doctors once claimed made enslaved people want to escape—and how this twisted concept still echoes in today’s political landscape, where erasing uncomfortable truths is big business.

Harriot, known for his sharp wit and cutting commentary, pulls back the curtain on his latest book, “Black as Fuck History”—a deep dive into the parts of our past that mainstream textbooks like to skip. He shares surprising discoveries from his research, the power of storytelling, and why centering Black voices isn’t just about history—it’s about our collective future.

If you’re ready to flip the script on what you thought you knew, this episode is for you. Get ready for laughs, hard truths, and the kind of perspective shift you didn’t know you needed.

In this soul-nourishing episode of the Deeply Well Podcast, Devi sits down with the radiant Nicole Russell-Wharton — a certified trauma-informed healing instructor whose work has been rooted in compassion, advocacy, and generational restoration. Together, we explore the sacred work of healing family legacies — the kind of healing that requires us to face the silences we've inherited and honor the stories that were never told.

Nicole shares her powerful journey supporting children in foster care and reminds us how deeply transformative it can be when we create space for young people to feel seen, heard, and whole. We talk about the importance of tracing our lineage — not just to understand where we come from, but to reconnect with the wisdom, the pain, and the resilience our ancestors carried.

This conversation moves gently through the layers of forgiveness, chronic illness, and health awareness — all parts of the healing process. We reflect on the beauty of documenting our stories and reclaiming our narratives so future generations can move forward with clarity and wholeness.

If you've ever felt the weight of unspoken truths in your family or wondered how to begin the process of breaking generational cycles, this episode is a soft and powerful invitation. It is an invitation to lean into community, deepen your self-discovery, and allow healing to ripple through every branch of your family tree.
