SG Presents: The Black Code

SG Presents: The Black Code - Panel Series

Great Day SG Peeps,

I'm sure you've all been wondering, why my typically vocal self has been so quiet about all of the things that are going on in our nation pertaining to our people. I decided to create a space to talk about our issues from everything from race relations to internalized conflict and frustrations with our people. So that's why I've decided to host a moderate new series called The Black Code.

The first one is regarding race relations and intersectionality in the workplace. If you're wondering why I chose this one first, allow me to explain. As a person of color, most of us have experienced a certain level of discomfort within the workplace. Be it sexual harassment, elitism, or racial undertones. Unfortunately, the workplace, is where we spend the majority of our time.

This panel was set up to navigate through those experiences and to hopefully garner some understanding on how to enact change and move forward within our daily lives. Put it this way, have you ever queued up your streaming device to watch a Black Panther Documentary on Sunday, and decided not to because you had to go to work the next day? YEAH... this is why we need this panel.

The panelists are amazing, so amazing that I could not wait to share with you some things about them. Each panelist was selected based on their field of expertise because I believe their insight will be perfect for this discussion. Check them out! The panel is TOMORROW streaming LIVE on Facebook via my page.

See you tomorrow! XOXO - Capt Sista Gurl - Laura Miller

Introducing Tikko Brohey Ladies do you feel like “dudes ain’t shit” or “dudes don’t act right?” Have you ever thought about the things you do that contribute to that? The answer is probably not. Now granted there are dudes out there who just ain’t shit, and that’s just what it is. Majority of men are good men. But his partner can often determine just how good he'll actually be.

Fellas Pregame Your Online Dating Profile: Advice from your future bae

The Church is Failing: The Young Black Male

This is a taboo subject. That I’ve thought about quite a bit but never had the courage to really vocalize. Courage and fear are funny things because one of them is just as strong as the other, it’s just a question of which one you choose to live in. So today, I choose to live within a courageous light. Why, being a black woman, and an active christian would I have a fear vocalizing my opinion on how black men have been failed by the church? Messages are often misconstrued based on the perception of the reader. Additionally, it’s best practice to NOT add any fire to the flame of those that question institutionalized religion. However, in this case, I think I’d like to get this out with the hopes that some black man, within a particular age, will utilize this post as a reason to do better in reaching young black men. There was a time when the core of the civil rights movement was centered around black men and women within religious faiths. They actively worked together,
