Most people hear a commercial. I hear the story behind the words. 🎙️ Before I record any sponsor spot, I study the message, the audience, and the emotion. Voiceover isn’t about reading a script—it’s about making people feel something. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at my process as I record a new sponsor spot for WVON.

Teen takeovers have become one of the most talked-about issues in America, but what if we’re asking the wrong question?

Instead of asking what’s wrong with today’s teenagers, maybe we should be asking how we got here.

In this episode, LaDonna Raeh takes a deep dive into the history of the Black family, the “No Man in the House” welfare policies, the rise of single-parent households, educational gains among Black women, economic challenges facing Black men, changing parenting styles, social media, and the cultural shifts that may have contributed to today’s teen takeover phenomenon.

This is not a conversation about blaming teenagers.

It’s a conversation about history, family, policy, parenting, and the long-term consequences of decisions made across generations.

Do you think teen takeovers are simply kids looking for excitement, or are they a reflection of deeper issues in our communities?
