  • Fed?

    Anyone who's going to intentionally lie about a Black Panther Party chapter (Philly) in an attempt discredit them and block anyone who tries to refute her claims is untrustworthy in my book. I trust the Elders who mentored Chairman Paul Birdsong and then gave their blessing for him to start the Philly chapter. This podcast is simply a platform for her to spout counter-revolutionary rhetoric and I'm ashamed I ignored all of the red flags throughout these episodes.

Q: What exactly is EMDR therapy and how does it work?
