Pass The Mic

Jemar and Tyler are back this week to discuss a serious topic: #SurvivingRKelly. The 6 part lifetime documentary swept through social media and challenged many of us to pay attention and hold him accountable. In this episode, we discuss what it means to hold ourselves accountable, how this story is being replayed in our churches/local communities, and how black men should respond to stories of the abuse of black women.
