We all get mad, but the internet takes it to another level when they are behind a phone or computer screen. Like, fam, what is your problem?!
On this episode of The Jigsaw, Bryan and Josh dig into some of the reasons they believe thrive in negativity and offer ways for people to thrive in positivity. Choosing joy over finding the worst in everything costs very little. Like, y'all were really mad at Madame VP Kamala Harris for being a Black woman dancing to hip-hop at a party she hosted. Do you hear how that sounds? Dumb.

Audacity. Two definitions come to mind—a willingness to take bold risks; and rude or disrespectful behaviors. On August 5, 2023, a day that will live in infamy, on the Montgomery Waterfront in Alabama, a group of boaters with rude and disrespectful behaviors took a bold risk to jump a black security guard. They messed around and found. Black history was made.
On this episode of The Jigsaw, Josh and Bryan discuss white audacity, its origins, and how to combat it and uplift the community. Also, find out what famous person Josh ran into during his recent travels.

Rhythm & Blues. Gospel. Hip Hop. Rock & Roll. These genres are the soundtrack and backdrop to the black experience. They speak to us, and we speak through them literally and physically as instruments that help us say it loud, we’re black and we're proud.
