This week on TMI, Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne discuss a major snowstorm hitting New York City and the realities of schools staying open during severe weather, They reflect on snow’s environmental role and connect the season’s gloom to Ramadan and Lent. The conversation honors Reverend Jesse Jackson and highlights Minister Farrakhan’s message that a person’s good should outweigh their bad, urging grace for leaders’ imperfections and growth. Tamika then addresses misinformation by detailing Dr. Linda Davis’ death during an ICE-related chase, arguing ICE violated pursuit protocols and noting limited media attention. She also distinguishes voter ID from new proof-of-citizenship requirements, challenges claims about Trump’s HBCU funding versus Obama and Biden, and rejects “both parties are the same” comparisons while criticizing Trump’s impacts on Black communities.

This week on TMI, Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne Lennon reflect on the passing of Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., sharing personal memories and underscoring the importance of preserving our elders’ stories and photographs. They explore Reverend Jackson’s enduring legacy—from economic justice campaigns and strategic boycotts to voter registration efforts—and the personal sacrifices borne by his family.

Tamika opens up about the spiritual toll of researching the Epstein files, describing how reading witness accounts deeply disturbed her spirit and even affected her dreams, The conversation turns to the SAVE Act, which Tamika argues is a modern-day poll tax designed to disenfranchise voters by requiring passports or birth certificates to register or update voter information—placing disproportionate burdens on Black Americans, married women with name changes, and elderly people without access to documentation.

Reverend Mark Thompson joins the show to honor Reverend Jackson, recounting a mentorship that began in 1983 and reflecting on Jackson’s measurable impact on corporate accountability, DEI, and voter registration, while calling for unity and maturity in movement leadership.

The episode also features Afua Atta-Mensah, NYC’s Chief Equity Officer and Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Equity and Racial Justice, who explains how the office was established through a 2022 charter amendment, her role coordinating equity across city agencies, and the real-world challenges of governance and delivering daily impact.

In this episode of TMI, Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne take on health myths, political misinformation, and the systems quietly harming Black communities. From questioning the safety of our food and water to unpacking the false narrative that immigrants are “taking Black jobs,” the conversation cuts through fear-based rhetoric with facts, history, and lived experience.

The hosts break down how white supremacy, anti-DEI policies, and economic exploitation—not immigrants—are driving job loss and instability, especially for Black women. They also discuss ICE raids, media manipulation, and the urgent need for truth-tellers in a time of rising authoritarianism.
