But we’re flipping the script. This podcast is about more than just surviving — it’s about healing out loud. We’re talking real stories, real strategies, and real conversations that break stigmas and build strength. Because your peace isn’t a luxury — it’s a right. Let’s talk about it.
Episode 4: Blackboard Resistance: Truth vs. Fear in Education
They’re not just banning books — they’re trying to erase us.
Welcome to Smoking Hot, a bold and unapologetic deep dive into the war on truth, education, and Black history in America. As conversations around Critical Race Theory spark national fear and outrage, classrooms are becoming battlegrounds—where our stories are being silenced, our books pulled from shelves, and public education stripped of the funding it needs to empower future generations.
This podcast exposes the coordinated efforts to whitewash history, dismantle access to knowledge, and deny students—especially Black and marginalized youth—the right to learn their full truth. Through expert interviews, community voices, educators, activists, and students, we unpack what’s really at stake when our history is treated as dangerous.
This is more than a podcast. It’s a call to protect our legacy, preserve our stories, and fight for an education system that reflects the truth, not fear. Because if we don’t tell our story—they will erase it.
