About this episode
In this episode, Dr. Tip reflects on the impact of social media and the phenomenon of making unworthy individuals famous.
Hey ya’ll hey! Thanks for tuning into Episode 102 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"Stop Making Stupid People Famous.” This week, I want to open with a James Baldwin quote that essentially asks us to reflect on what America is doing to us. That reflection is just what this episode of the podcast is about. If you mindlessly scroll social media as I sometimes (okay, okay OFTEN) do, you’ve probably seen some of the folks I talk about this week. I’d love to hear what you think about their performances. 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).
