Dave Chappelle is another cautionary tale on the importance of knowing your worth and having an ownership mentality.

During a recent stand-up set, comedian Dave Chappelle took some time to plead with his fans to not watch reruns of his early-2000s sketch-comedy show “Chappelle’s Show” because he does not own a piece of it, and thus is not paid royalties for the work that he created. This prompted us to continue our ongoing conversation about the importance of ownership, and how it is the key to freedom in life. This is also the first episode in which we have a guest contributor to the platform – local artist and friend of the channel Titaness Writes! Follow “Tite” on the channels below for everything she has going on musically and otherwise!

Why can’t we be mindful of one’s body of work and use mistakes as a teachable moment, rather than resorting to ‘Cancel Culture’?

We discuss the fallout from Nick Cannon’s antisemitic remarks during his podcast and his subsequent firing by CBS/Viacom. We also get into the value of teachable moments, why “cancel culture” is a problem that needs to go away, and why we should be reasonable enough to consider a person’s body of work before becoming cyber bullies who want to cancel someone who has done positive things throughout their career.

Shifting our mentality towards a focus on real solutions.

With the world on fire, we discuss the fallout from the murder of George Floyd, and moreover, delve into tangible ways that we can find solutions to systemic racism. This commentary is about SOLUTIONS. There is plenty of content out there lamenting the state of affairs, so there is no need for us to pile on to it. Let’s self-reflect and focus on pragmatism. If you’re looking for ideas in terms of participating in movements that can instigate true change, check out the #blackoutday2020 movement.
