About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Tip discusses Tyrese's controversial comments about wishing to be Latinx and reflects on the importance of celebrating one's own identity.

Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 101 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Tyrese, Really?” This week, I fought hard not to hit a full on rant. If you haven’t heard, Tyrese helped set the tone for Black History Month 2024 by publishing wishing he was born Latinx. (Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with being Latinx, the problem is in not celebrating who you are.) In this episode I share with you a few quotes by two of my favorite scholars: Drs. Carter G. Woodson and John Henrik Clarke. I’d love to hear what you think about these ideas. And, if you’re really wanting to unpack the ideas around Black history, spirituality, or culture, please consider being a guest on the podcast. Send me an email at drtip@tellemtiptoldyou.com. I’m a life coach helping folks reach holistic success over here while being your FAVORITE HBCU Prof! After you tune in, let me know what you think of this episode by leaving me a 5-star review. Take care of each other so we can build together. #tellemtiptoldyou For more on Tellemtiptoldyou (the podcast on Black History, Black Spirituality, and Black Culture, be sure to follow Dr. Tip on Instagram (@tiffanydphd) and Facebook (@tellemtiptoldyou).
