  • The My Vision Born Show - Episode 11: What Happened To All Of The Tomboys?

    The My Vision Born Show - Episode 11: What Happened To All Of The Tomboys?
    Mar 25 2025

    In this episode of The My Vision Born Show, host Abdel Russell reflects on how much Brooklyn, NY, transformed while he was away living in Florida from 2005 to 2008. Returning to the city after just three years made him question what he remembered versus what was now in front of him. Was Brooklyn really that different, or had time and distance changed his perspective?

    One shift that stood out to Abdel was the noticeable rise in women identifying as lesbians. He couldn’t help but wonder—had these women always felt this way, or did they simply get tired of being labeled as "Tomboys"? And could Barack Obama’s policies on gender identity have played a role in this societal shift?

    But the biggest revelation of all? The moment that finally pushed Abdel to become a U.S. citizen after 30 years of living in the country. Tune in as he unpacks his thoughts on identity, politics, and the ever-changing culture of the city that raised him.

    The My Vision Born Show - Episode 10: When Blacks Were In The White House
    Mar 17 2025

    In this thought-provoking episode of The My Vision Born Show, host Abdel Russell dives into the evolving public perception of former First Lady Michelle Obama. Once a global icon admired for her grace, intelligence, and impact on culture and politics, Michelle is now facing a wave of media scrutiny—ranging from questions about her marriage and gender to critiques of her lackluster podcast debut.

    Abdel reflects on how he once looked up to Michelle Obama as a powerful symbol of Black excellence and leadership, but now finds himself questioning why the media narrative has shifted so drastically. He also explores the controversial clips circulating online where former President Barack Obama refers to Michelle as “Mike” or “Michael,” and asks—what’s really going on?

    Adding to the mystery is the Obamas’ absence from the public eye, especially when other former first families are still occasionally seen at events. Rumors are swirling, and Abdel isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions. Tune in for an honest, unfiltered conversation about legacy, media, and the power—and pitfalls—of public perception.

    The My Vision Born Show - Episode 9: She Washed Collard Greens in Bathtubs!?
    Mar 12 2025

    In this episode of The My Vision Born Show, host Abdel Russell shares how he rebuilt his life from the ground up after his divorce, starting fresh in Brooklyn, NY. Determined to carve out a new future, Abdel landed his highest-paying retail management job yet—proving to himself that setbacks were just setups for a comeback.

    Despite the chaos of returning to the city—including his car being broken into—Abdel embraced his newfound freedom with excitement. Being single in New York again felt like a second chance, an opportunity to redefine himself and map out the life he truly wanted.

    Abdel also discusses how the election of Barack Obama pushed him further away from the left!

My podcast review

Russell's stories about his inner-city experience is what truly kept me listening. His perspective on Black Americans through me for a loop; eye opener! His opinion on race is very refreshing as well. Overall a good podcast. Worth a listen.

The Abdel Russell Experience

He releases episodes more than weekly; does he sleep lol. Talk about nostalgia from the 80s and 90s as a kid living in the city!? His analysis on race from an immigrant's perspective is intriguing and entertaining. Lots of laughs too, especially if you grew up in Brooklyn! Keep the episodes coming I'm loving it. 5 STARS!
