Outta Line Podcast

Drawing connections between the raw truths of PIBS and the tender wisdom shared in Chit Chats with Granny, the hosts honor the humility, grace, empathy, and tough love of these remarkable women. Through vivid storytelling and personal insights, they explore how their grandmothers' no-nonsense, fiercely compassionate spirits shaped their drive for knowledge, resistance to the status quo, and commitment to justice. PIBS serves as a powerful reminder that grace only goes so far—and sometimes grit takes over. Tune in for an episode filled with vulnerability, reflection, and a tribute to the women who taught them to stand tall, even in the face of adversity. /episode/index/show/outtalinepodcast/id/34303695

P.I.B.S 11/14/2024

P.I.B.S "To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost all of the time — and in one's work." — James Baldwin In this raw and unapologetically Black episode titled PIBS, @black_motives is joined by @Frednotes and @snapbackmac. He shares how James Baldwin’s courage and use of literature to analyze and critique the African American experience in the U.S. inspired him to write and record PIBS. Until May 9, 2020, @black_motives had largely observed police brutality through media, though no stranger to conversations and the study of white pathology and the oppression of Black people. PIBS became a form of expression that helped him reconcile his thoughts. His support group reminds him of the African proverb "Ubuntu"—I am because you are. To Bri and April, thank you for being present, thank you for being brave, and thank you for doing what Black women do daily to preserve Black life. /episode/index/show/outtalinepodcast/id/33927987
