We learned something from Mariah Carey this week. So, major takeaways: Trust Black Women. Make R. Kelly a hidden figure. The Cool Colored Colorblind had Mike Vick's probate. The president of toothless Americans is spending a lot of tax dollars on himself & wants to spend nothing on American people. Look Alive!

Jaz Da KOS Walker and Amber J. Phillips the High Priestess of Black Joy are away from the mic this week being bosses and taking care of life. White people completely lost self-control and voted away our health care so we're sharing a super special previously recorded show featuring our friend Micha'le who shares her abortion story with us after stopping by Black Joy Headquarters for a home cooked meal and girl talk. 1 in 3 women will have an abortion in her lifetime and we all love someone who has had an abortion. Enjoy this special episode featuring one story of many from our dear friend who we love fiercely.

This week Black men with their f*ckboy Becky lovin powers combined, assembled The Cool Colored Colorblind Collective and The Black Joy Mixtape wasn't havin' it! From secret meetings at country clubs, doing it for the gram with white supremacists, cupcake telegrams, to love armies, Black men in news media found themselves being threats to our lives....again. Thankfully, Black women on Twitter decided to show a little mercy and demanded them to do better.

We wrap Black History Month 2017 with Malaya the Hood Witch and we remind you that Trans People are Real. There are 500+ empty position in our ever shrinking government, but Black women are here to collect their coins, your talking points, and some misconceptions about witches. Tell your paranoid cousin not to make no damn illuminati video about us, we don't know WF he is talking about! There may be a new viral rap song on this track as well! Enjoy!

Amber and Jazmine have been doing the absolute most this month. Not only have they been traveling across the country for work and play, but Jazmine woke up early one morning to conquer evil and it wasn't even Easter yet. This week we talk about how differences in Black liberation practices are showing up in the Movement for Black Lives, why Howard University needs to pay what they owe, and how Black women continue to go first and show us what liberation looks in real life! Remember, just because white have lost it, doesn't mean we have to, Black folks.

White people have no self-control. Our calendar had the High Priestess of Black Joy and Da King of the South on Sunday, recording less than 24 hours after white peril and destruction descended onto Charlottesville, VA for the 2nd time in 6 weeks. And the ACLU saw fit to let us know they not only support such terrorism but demand it continue to be protected as "free speech." We at The Black Joy Mixtape had time this week to define global white terrorism, explain why white supremacy at its root can't actually protect all white people, and give Black people a reading list that encourages them to continue to fight and defend themselves.

We're back and EVERYTHING IS IN SHAKA! Your fav Petty Black Feminists and Tedx alum came back to revenge porn, fragile masculinity, and this person claiming to be president is requesting too much information about voters. At least we also came back to 4:44, a fund by Remy Ma to expand reproductive access, 2 Chainz Trap Clinic, and the #BlackJoyJubilee!

November has Jazmine and Amber STRESSED. So we went the f*ck off on everyone. This election is absurd but Black women, Indigenous people protesting in Standing Rock, North Dakota, wonderful movies like Moonlight, and laughter among ourselves remind us that we gon always be alright. Listen out for when the devil shows up on our mic! But we overcome that too!

The Black Joy Mixtape eased on down to Southeast DC to talk to and celebrate one of the trillest Black mamas we know, Jenn Stowe! Before we get to the radical parenting theory and practice of honoring Black single mothers, we had to update everyone on the latest happenings of The Apprentice: White House Edition.

The FBI Director, the one with zero credibility, James Comey now has zero job. Even though we knew this investigation on Russia was a fluke (because the agency accountable to the president), 9 ain’t like that people were still talking about it, so Comey had to go.

Jimmy ain’t the only one updating his linkedin profile this week. The U.S. Census Bureau Director, John Thompson is stepping down because he's trying to make the 2020 census happen with a budget that can only cover a couple hundred tally marks and rubber bands.

Thankfully, The Twins are letting y’all know that they’re on their way to become your future grandchildren’s faves by dramatically changing their legendary mother, Beyoncé. Beyoncé’s rep Yvette Noel-Schure won't let you disrespect Beyonce about their appearance or any other pregnant person for that matter. Jenn talks about surprises during her pregnancy, how to respect mothers, and how to create communities for mothers.

The Black Joy Mixtape recorded a special report on rape culture on December 2nd. This was prior to the TIME cover release and Amber's latest appearance on Roland Martin. Despite the electric conversations that happened this past week and news of Russell Simmons sexual misconduct, we're still wondering where is the televised State of Hip Hop and Rape Culture round table? We got tired of waiting and released our own. We offer a trigger warning, love, and grace to those who may be sensitive to heavy topics like rape.

We're back and blacker than ever! Amber and Jazmine return after taking a week to focus on black joy and Jazmine's birthday to avoid beating anyone's ass after the white community voted for Donald Trump to be their President.

Also we're on iTunes!! Make sure you subscribe!

We are back from the holiday and we are here to let yall know that all slavery must end and give your lil white friends guidelines on how to be more deserving of yo friendship.

Also, don't eat at the White House. They got roaches but got the nerve to disinvite folks to they nasty house.

Look Alive! Trans people are not a burden, but Rick Ross' sexism definitely is. The same week that Janet Mock made an appearance on The Breakfast Club to affirm the existence of trans people within the hip hop communities, president 9 announced via Twitter that trans people are banned from serving in the military. We talk with DC storyteller & former cop, Morgan Givens to discuss the realities of trans healthcare, love, & the necessity and possibility of honoring the full humanity of trans Black people.

Amber and Jazmine return from Thanksgiving and were welcomed back by the ridiculous season finale of Insecure on HBO. President Obama takes a sorry ass slip of Flint water while allowing the Dakota Access Pipeline to move forward by any means necessary. Oh and Donald Trump is still being racist.

Wow. Your favorite news between avoiding suspicious packages and being lemonades, the high priestess & king are just trying to survive the week. The president of toothless America or the cis Black isn't giving us much to work with though. Trans folks are not jokes but we have a few for the Cool Colorblind crew...and white folks too.

It was NOT a drill! Beyonce announces her biggest project yet and we're thrilled! Now listen as two Black women talk about Beyonce, the latest oppressive shit coming out of Donald's pen, our global refugee crisis, Black people impacted by the holocaust, Jessica Williams beating back white feminism, and how BET is about to ruin Being Mary Jane....since some of yall think niggas are distracted! Tuh!

Last full episode of the year. 2017 was wonderful, absurd, hilarious, and unrelenting. The same can be said about your favorite news and podcast hosts! As Black popular male news hosts crumble, we end by reminding you that we DESERVE more and better options.

This time we have our friend, and one half of Brown x Bruja, Sor Alé powerful interview about her experience with immigration and the criminal justice system

Black Joy Mixtape and anything associated with Black women won this year! This week, we celebrate the Black Joy High Priestess' birthday, talk about Amber's secret rap life, and more data to tell you once again what we've been saying: Black men are killing Black women. Hopefully, Black men will hear this track, take action, and leave this bullsh*t in 2016! Live tweet the show using #BlackJoyMixtape

Your fav news and politics podcast #BlackJoyMixtape went to see Black Panther and got inspired to talk about how our communities have Wakanda potential, but white people are really trying to ruin this for us with gentrification, harvest boxes without actual harvests, and compromising our access to clean water and food. But all is not lost, we still prevailed over triflin exes and saw an ill pre screening of Giants. Make sure you follow along using the hashtag, #BlackJoyMixtape.
