Summary

This week Antoinette is joined by the Around the Way Curl Curmmunity's most requested guest, larger-than-life media personality, Van Lathan Jr. We begin by examining biracial identity with a breakdown of Van's newly formed Biracial Bureau of Investigation- the BBI & by discussing why he has declared himself the king of Antoinette & Shanti's hometown.

For Politics as Usual, we deep dive into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Trump's recent 34 felony conviction, and the role of voting in our current political landscape.

For Pop Culture, we focus solely on Van. He details a recent situation that required him to self-audit & publicly course-correct and delves into his personal reflections on how he, and society as a whole value masculinity & femininity. We end with our rapid-fire questions and a brief discussion on Black moms of biracial children mattering. Join us.
