Are screens raising sharper kids—or quietly stealing the building blocks of childhood?

We break down the real trade-offs behind tablets, phones, games, and streaming—balancing real educational benefits with research-backed risks to language, focus, sleep, and emotional health.

Teachers and pediatricians are seeing the same patterns: shorter attention spans, less patience for slow tasks, and a growing dependence on instant feedback that makes perseverance harder.

This isn’t a tech-bashing conversation—it’s a necessary one.

A fifteen-year-old stayed seated — and the law stood up.
Before Rosa Parks, there was Claudette Colvin.

In 1955, Claudette Colvin refused to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama. Her courage didn’t just make headlines — it helped ignite Browder v. Gayle, the landmark case that ended bus segregation.

But history didn’t center her story.

In this episode of The Only One Mic Podcast, we pay tribute to Claudette Colvin — a teenager whose bravery predates the spotlight and challenges us to ask a deeper question:
Why do some heroes get framed in history while others are pushed to the margins?

This is more than a lesson. It’s a reckoning.

A life lost and two clashing stories — one from federal officials, another from Minneapolis leaders. We dig into the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis and confront the hard questions that surface when an enforcement operation ends in death, video evidence raises doubts, and the legal justification remains out of public view. Our goal is simple and urgent: separate what’s been claimed from what’s been shown, and test each narrative against the standards of evidence, transparency, and community safety.

Are crime statistics helping us understand what’s really happening — or are they pushing us further apart? In this follow-up episode, we take the conversation to the audience, pulling real thoughts from the comments and asking viewers directly how they interpret crime data. We explore the difference between totals, per-capita rates, and arrests, and question whether numbers are being used to inform the public or fuel division.

👇 Join the conversation: Do crime statistics educate us — or divide us?

This episode breaks down FBI arrest data to explain what those numbers actually measure — and what they don’t. We compare raw arrest totals with per-capita rates, unpack how policing and enforcement patterns influence crime statistics, and examine how media narratives shape public perception.

In this episode of Mic Drop, I break down the bizarre Delaware case where a man allegedly stole a vehicle, had it towed, and then contacted police asking for help retrieving his personal belongings left inside. Is this just another “dumb criminal” story, or does it reflect a deeper disconnect between actions and consequences?

What happens when power goes unchecked—on the world stage and online? In this episode, we break down Netflix’s The Reckoning, the explosive docuseries on Sean “Diddy” Combs, produced by 50 Cent, and what its allegations reveal about fame, protection, and the real cost of culture. Then we shift to Adin Ross and his recent use—and defense—of the N-word, unpacking how viral creators turn controversy into content and how fandom gets twisted into a pass for harmful language. Two stories, one theme: power without guardrails.
