EP: 51 Sex and Sexuality w/ Adrienne Williams

Tue, 03 Apr 2018 14:29:25 GMT

Do you know for sure what a sexologist does? It’s OK, we didn’t either. But we learned a whole lot sitting down with Adrienne N. Williams, Columbia University lecturer and clinical therapist specializing in human sexuality. Consider your views on sex and sexuality and how you formed them. In this episode of the podcast, Adrienne discusses sexual history and awareness, gender identity and sexual orientation, stereotypes in the Black community, and more. Parents, you’ll also want to hear the discussion on age-appropriate sex education. Hint: You want your child’s first sex education teacher to be you. Tune in. And if you still have questions—because you just may—connect with Adrienne @ IG: mylifeepiphanyBlack Balance hosts:@thecameia @carolleeroseblackbalancepodcast@gmail.com

Actor/Comedian Rod Minger and friend of the show Monique join us as we touch on tipping in the service industry, Mariah Carey's high demands, and Kendu possibly inspiring another broken-hearted Mary J. Blige album. But all of these topics combined couldn't make America great again. You guessed it. We're gonna bump Trump in that topic lineup somewhere.IG: rodmingerFB: Roderick Minger

Ep12: Bruh, Rock the Vote

Thu, 01 Sep 2016 02:48:04 GMT

Get it? Kinda like Barack the Vote? Tee hee. We're having a real, grown up conversation and owning our part in the nation's fault. We're not as well-versed in political acumen as we can be, and historically speaking, we don't vote in local/mid-term elections. But that changes now! Black Balance Podcast is on a mission to learn and do better, and we're inviting you on this journey with us so you, too, can learn and/or brush up on some things. Plus, we got a little stuck with some fact checking, so you political buffs out there are welcome to email us your thoughts to BlackBalancePodcast@gmail.com. All questions and comments are welcome. Happy listening!Follow Noble ArtrightIG: @nobleartrightTwitter: NobleArtRightFB: Noble Artright

Ep11: Risqué Business

Thu, 25 Aug 2016 01:53:54 GMT

Everyone knows what a smart phone is, but what about a smart condom? I mean....is there a button you push to make it bullet proof or STD proof? Is it tear-resistant? And when it comes to bringing sex objects into the bedroom, why stop at a condom? With the questionable bullet proof condom, we'd say try it with a bullet. We're not saying that the condom is actually bullet proof cause the bullet we're talking about will rock your world (according to our Sex Connoisseur anyway). What we're doing a poor job of trying to say is....just listen to the dern episode. It's all about sex!

Ep7: Homegrown Terrorist

Thu, 23 Jun 2016 01:10:43 GMT

Americans are not perfect and have no business labeling or stereotyping an entire group of people, demeaning them in the hearts and minds of citizens in this nation and of those around the world. Here to set the record straight is American-born Muslim Tayyaba. She has that in common with the Orlando shooter but abhors his behavior just like the rest of us, so grab a pen and pad and prepare to take notes while she educates us on all things Pakistan, Middle East, and Muslim.Spectrum music: Sebastian Kole "Love is on the Way"Follow @SebastianKole
