On Racism: American History with Nick Cheatham, Part 2

In this episode, we dive into America's history, specifically pertaining to African American rights and movements. To better understand what's happening today, we have to first understand our past. We will look at events with a big-picture mindset, keeping in mind the sociology we covered in the last episode. Share this with a friend and continue having these important conversations!

On Racism: American History with Nick Cheatham, Part 1

Let's take a look at current American issues from a sociological perspective. How can people be racist and believe they're actually in the right? Or on the flip side, why are people of color always getting these extra programs to help them out and they're still complaining? How come we can't even understand each other? These are just a couple of the questions I confront in this episode. The WAM Pod on Insta: @wampod

Systemic Racism: Introduction to the Group Model

Where has the podcast been??? Well I'm back to talk about the past few months and my struggle to "doe normaal". I've not been able to speak up, and it's affected me in a lot of ways. I wonder... is it really better to stay in the lines, to behave? Screw that! Let's discuss.   Thank you PrinzzAli for the intro and outro music. Check him out on all music streaming platforms.

The Pressures of Behaving in Society

On this episode I talk more about mental health, specifically about which practices I've been using lately to combat the self-doubting thoughts from my saboteur.

Ep 2: Mental Health and Journaling

I've been really hard on myself in the last few months, and it's not a new thing for me. Self depreciation has plagued me plenty, but at least this time I can say I'm looking it in the face. I want to share my thoughts with you about what TraveLingo was, why I changed the show, and what The World Around Me means to me and my listeners. Feedback? Thoughts?
