This week on TMI, Mysonne celebrates turning 50, Tamika D. Mallory shares a “thought of the day” about “All Roads Lead to the South,” warning that Supreme Court decisions weakening Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act aim to disenfranchise Black communities nationwide, and calls for renewed organizing, voter registration, education, and resistance during “Freedom Summer.” Guest Tyneadrian Fleming, founder and CEO of Blackbird Smart Innovations, recounts her journey from being a teen mother in the Bronx through hardship to building businesses, then creating Blackbird’s QR/NFC-enabled wearable safety devices designed to share protected medical and emergency information with community members and first responders for people with disabilities, seniors, and vulnerable travelers, and Mysonne responds with criticism of a George Floyd joke made during a Kevin Hart roast and calls to stop laughing at disrespectful trauma.
