The Jigsaw

A World Without Women? Whack!

Women are beautifully crafted by God's hands. They are filled with strength, empathy, compassion, and wisdom. From their wombs flows the life we all have. Therefore, we must take time to honor God’s gift to the world and celebrate women for National Women’s Appreciation Month. 

 

On this episode of the Jigsaw, Josh & Bryan discuss women who have made an indelible mark on their lives, the daily impact we see from amazing women worldwide, and what they’ve learned and unlearned regarding a “woman’s place” in society.

Bring Back Strong Black Names

As we wrap up Negro Appreciation Month, we continue to celebrate elements of black culture that we hold near and dear to us. For avid listeners and long-time puzzle pieces, you’ve heard the term, “That’s a strong black name.” Names and child naming hold so much weight in the black community, whether it is for connection to ancestors, representation, creativity, or a fond memory. 

 

On this episode of the Jigsaw, Josh & Bryan discuss the importance of black names in the community, stereotypes, stigmas, and their naming processes. Find out the strong black name history of Josh and Bryan’s respective family trees. Also, Bryan had a major life update that is typically unlike Bryan.

Black Flags, White Flags, Green Flags, Red Flags

It’s still Black History Month, and one thing we love is a good captivating story. Unless you’ve been living under a rock or don’t have social media, you’ve seen or heard of the messy story about a woman dating, marrying and divorcing a pathological liar. Sadly, a lot of folks can say they’ve done the same. Ouch. 

 

 

On this episode of the Jigsaw, Josh & Bryan discuss Reesa Tessa’s saga of Who TF Did I Marry? and break down relationship red flags, flaws, and ways to avoid making bad decisions.

Brothers: Happy, Singing, & Colored (feat. Chris Moore)

Black History Month is a time to reflect on the collective history of black folks, but also understand how we can continue to build community and unify as a people.

You Can't Gentle Parent Ungentle Kids (feat. Jacquelyn Rodgers)

Parenting: a process of raising, promoting, and supporting the physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development of a child to an adult and across the lifespan. For all those parents out there, we know it’s a tough and thankless job. And if parents are honest, parenthood is the ghettoest hood in the world.

Don't Poke The Bear

Happy Negro Appreciation Month! You don’t normally like to start the month off with no mess, but sometimes life can get messy. Especially in regards to relationships and conflicts with others. The question is, how do we deal with interactions with people we just don’t get along with?

Using recent lyrical tussle between Megan the Stallion and Nicki Minaj, the guys breakdown their thoughts on the specific beef, but how they deal with subliminal attacks, interpersonal disputes, if beefs can actually be resolved or if they even need to.
