This debut session of Thee T.A.B.L.E. dives deep into one of the most urgent conversations in our community: the relationship between Black men and Black women. Beyond the stereotypes and social media narratives, this episode uncovers the real desires, expectations, and misunderstandings that have shaped how we love, trust, and show up for one another.
Through honest dialogue, storytelling, and accountability, we’ll explore what it takes to rebuild the bridge — not as competitors or survivors of each other’s pain, but as partners in healing, legacy, and truth.

Spawned from the need to confront a policy that offended personal and professional dignity, from the need for African-American lawyers to associate for personal and professional growth, and from a need to encourage African-American lawyers to participate in the Virginia State Bar, the ODBA grew into an organization that filled not only those particular needs but one that also has provided continuity of leadership and support with respect to the various concerns of particular interest to African Americans and other people of color. For example, over the past thirty years, ODBA members diligently, and successfully, worked to ensure the appointment of African-American lawyers to judgeships
around the state.
The names and faces have changed over the years, but the ODBA is has remained strong in its resolve to be Virginia’s
advocate for equal justice.
