    2-20-26| Discover Healing and Authenticity: Basic Blaque After Dark on Da Crew Podcast |SEASON 4
    Feb 21 2026
    Introduction


    Every community needs a space where truth is welcomed, healing is championed, and no topic is off limits. Enter Basic Blaque After Dark, a transformative live segment of the Da Crew Podcast, hosted by the insightful Blaque Diamond. Airing twice monthly, this show is more than entertainment—it’s a beacon of support, connection, and unflinching honesty, dedicated to “meeting you exactly where you are.”Meet the Host: Blaque Diamond


    At the heart of Basic Blaque After Dark is Blaque Diamond—a licensed social worker, trauma coach, and author with a mission to shatter taboos and foster genuine conversation. Drawing on her professional experience and personal compassion, Blaque Diamond offers wisdom grounded in both expertise and empathy. Her goal? To help listeners navigate life’s rough patches while feeling seen, heard, and understood.A Safe Space for Real Conversations


    Basic Blaque After Dark isn’t your typical podcast segment. It’s a safe space intentionally designed for open, authentic dialogue on topics that are often glossed over or avoided entirely. Every episode invites listeners to engage with their real selves—whatever chapter of life they’re in—without judgment.In a world where vulnerability can be rare and “toughing it out” is often expected, Blaque Diamond is committed to changing the narrative. By meeting people “exactly where they are,” she ensures that every conversation is relevant, accessible, and deeply human.Core Topics Explored


    Mental Health and Trauma-Informed Healing


    Understanding the complexities of mental health and trauma is central to Basic Blaque After Dark. Each session delves into the importance of recognizing, processing, and healing from emotional wounds. Blaque Diamond introduces tools for self-care, shares trauma recovery insights, and encourages listeners to break free from shame and silence.Navigating Grief and Forgiveness


    Loss and heartbreak are universal experiences, yet so few people talk about them honestly. This segment features poignant discussions on grief—whether from the death of a loved one, a painful breakup, or life transitions. Equally vital is the journey to forgiveness, both of others and oneself. Listeners are guided through practical strategies and personal stories to light the path towards emotional release.Building Resilience and Personal Transformation


    Resilience isn’t just about surviving—it’s about thriving. Blaque Diamond inspires her audience to see setbacks as setups for greater strength and growth. Through actionable tips and motivational dialogue, she helps listeners turn adversity into fuel for transformation, empowering them to rewrite their narratives.Men’s Mental Health and Breaking Community Silences


    Certain topics, especially those around men’s emotional well-being, remain heavily stigmatized in many communities. Basic Blaque After Dark is breaking the mold by giving men a voice—tackling subjects like vulnerability, mental health, and unspoken struggles within safe, respectful conversations. This deliberate focus encourages everyone to challenge outdated gender norms and support collective healing.How and When to Tune In


    Ready to join the conversation? Basic Blaque After Dark airs live on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month at 8:00 PM EST. Whether you prefer to watch on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, or Kick, the show is accessible on your favorite platform via the Da Crew Podcast channels.The live format means you can not only listen but also interact—posing questions, sharing experiences, and building community in real time.IN CLOSING

    2-18-26| Min. Alma Collins Thomas a true spiritual trailblazer, steadfast encourager, & the radiant host of “Inspirational Moments w/Prophet
    Feb 19 2026
    Today, we honor Minister Alma Collins Thomas—a true spiritual trailblazer, steadfast encourager, and the radiant host of “Inspirational Moments with Prophetess T.”A Life Marked by PurposeMinister Alma Collins Thomas is best described in her own powerful words: “I am still standing, and I don’t look like the hell I have been. I made it on broken pieces.” These words—shaped by experience, courage, and deep faith—sum up her inspiring journey.Before she embraced her call to full-time ministry, Minister Thomas was deeply rooted in her community as a beloved preschool teacher at Amityville Head Start and a Suffolk County Girl Scout Leader. She laid the foundation for her lifelong mission: to uplift, educate, and empower—especially women and youth weathering life’s storms.A Calling to EmpowerNow, as executive director of Alma Collins Thomas Ministries, Minister Thomas devotes herself to equipping others with spiritual truth and practical wisdom. Through workshops, speaking engagements, and her heart-stirring broadcast, “Inspirational Moments with Prophetess T,” she pours encouragement into lives around the world. Her mission is clear: To empower women and youth with spiritual resources and practical knowledge to overcome life’s greatest challenges.Anchored in HopeMinister Thomas’s messages radiate hope, grounded in her life’s testimony. Her spiritual anchor is Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This promise of hope and purpose guides every message, outreach, and prayer.A Warrior SpiritOften described as a “true warrior,” Minister Thomas personifies resilience. She embodies the wisdom of Haruki Murakami: “When the storm has passed, you won’t remember how you survived... But one thing is certain: when you come out of a storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.” Her life affirms that storms refine us, not define us. Even when held together by broken pieces, you can rise stronger and wiser.Moving Forward TogetherMinister Alma Collins Thomas’s story is a beacon for anyone facing hardship or needing encouragement. Her ministry offers both a safe harbor and a launch pad—helping others find the courage to move forward in faith, hope, and renewed strength.May we, too, carry her torch of perseverance, and always remember: You are still standing. Your light can still shine. God’s purpose for you remains—unshakable, unbreakable, and overflowing with hope.Follow Minister Alma Collins Thomas for more inspirational moments, and let her journey remind you—your story isn’t over; it’s just getting stronger.#StillStanding #ProphetessT #Empowerment #Jeremiah2911 #ResilientFaith #WomensMinistry #YouthEmpowerment #FaithJourney #InspirationalLeaders #QueensEmpowermentCorne
