• EP74: Dr. Jamal Bryant: Trump Biden Polls & Black People
    May 26 2024

    Dr. Dudley speaks with Dr. Jamal Bryant.
    Dr Jamal Bryant is a provocative thought leader who speaks to the dichotomy of thought within the African American community as it relates to politics. His insight challenges the norm and factually uncovers the perceptive that the media has perpetuated that Biden is mentally fragile and an 92 indited former president is about to be elected. Every sentence in this podcast is eye-opening and disrupts the status quo. Don’t remain in the dark, come into the marvelous light of intellectually thinking for yourself.
