On this week's episode, Hosts jarrett hill and Tre'vell Anderson welcome writer Mikelle Street for a conversation about The Swirl, or interracial dating. They dig into what's behind the “trend” of highly-visible Black queer celebrities who seemingly only go out with white partners, as well as how our upbringing influences our attitudes around interracial dating. They also get into some of the misconceptions of interracial dating that are projected onto queer interracial couples.  But first, Tre'vell and jarrett respond to Abbott Elementary's Tyler James Williams' instagram post, in which the actor details why he thinks it's dangerous when people try and guess whether someone is gay or not. Mentioned In The EpisodeJessie MapleTyler James WilliamsDurand BernarrDIS/Honorable Mentions jh:HM: Boys Come First by Aaron FoleyHM: Terrell Grice's Keke Palmer interview on The Terrell Show and Keke's new album, Big BossHM: Seeking Brother Husband on MAXTAHM: Bel-Air on PeacockHM: NABJ campaignPlugs: Mikelle Street's latest, Yasmin Finney Is Everything She Imagined and Why I started a digital shrine to Justice Smith and Nic Ashe's relationshipOur Pride Perspectives curated playlist on Apple Podcasts We See Each Other: The Podcast - Episode 6, Let's Hear It For The Boys ft.

Why an episode on Detroit?! It's got a great story. Standalone, this episode is a fascinating look at a metropolis that swelled and thrived during the auto boom, then declined, and is navigating a rocky rebirth of sorts. Aaron Foley was Detroit's first official City Storyteller and wrote the book “How to Live In Detroit Without Being a Jackass.” I've wanted to have him on Ologies for five years, and we finally sat down to talk about MoTown, car culture, square pizza, $1000 houses, gentrification, urban infrastructure, underground salt mines, amusement park slides, Diana Ross, emerging rappers, and the city's abandonment issues. Stay tuned for the March 21 Domicology episode on how buildings and neighborhoods decay, and what people – and science – can to do about it. Also, if you're looking for a book to read, I'm loving Aaron's debut novel, “Boys Come First,” which he describes as “very Black, very gay, and very Detroit.” Visit Aaron Foley's website and follow him on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok  Buy Aaron's debut novel: Boys Come FirstBuy Aaron's non-fiction books: The Detroit Neighborhood Guidebook and How to Live in Detroit Without Being a JackassA donation went to the Detroit Justice CenterMore episode sources and linksOther episodes you may enjoy: Domicology (ABANDONED BUILDINGS — out March 21, 2023), Mythology (STORYTELLING), Genealogy (FAMILY TREES), Maritime Archaeology (SHIPWRECKS), Classical Archaeology (ANCIENT ROME),  Metropolitan Tombology (PARIS CATACOMBS), Deltiology (POSTCARDS), Ferroequinology (TRAINS),  Nomology (THE CONSTITUTION), Urban Rodentology (SEWER RATS), Meteorology (WEATHER & CLIMATE), Melaninology (SKIN/HAIR PIGMENT), Futurology (THE FUTURE)Sponsors of OlogiesTranscripts and bleeped episodesSmologies (short, classroom-safe) episodesBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, masks, totes!Follow @Ologies on Twitter and InstagramFollow @AlieWard on Twitter and InstagramEditing by Mercedes Maitland of Maitland Audio Productions and Jarrett Sleeper of MindJam MediaTranscripts by Emily White of The WordaryWebsite by Kelly R.

In Need to Know, author Aaron Foley discusses his book "Boys Come First" as part of the W&W Book Club.

As Aaron Foley noted in this book, why do so many successful Black men choose White partners? Isaiah offers a possible rationale. In Gotta Do, the co-hosts commemorate National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (September 27) by focusing a conversation on a new nemesis to gay men: monkeypox.

In Need to Know, Bianca details President Biden's new program for student debt relief, and shares that she believes the administration should have gone even farther. Isaiah contends that it's bad policy and bad politics, and warns that Democrats can't ignore the inevitable resentment from some quarters of the electorate. In All the Feels, the co-hosts discuss the sudden resurgence of corporal punishment in schools, and Isaiah believes violence against children should be a no-no at school and at home. In Gotta Do, Isaiah reveals the September selection for the W&W Book Club: "Boys Come First" by Aaron Foley.

Today, Verde launches the first of a regular monthly episode series featuring resources and solutions to ensure people of color are more comfortable identifying as part of the outdoors communities. Verde is committed to strategically using our reach and the reach of our clients to welcome a more diverse participant base into the incredible outdoor community!  Today’s guest on the Channel Mastery podcast is Aaron Foley, who was named Director of the Black Media Initiative at the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism in June of 2020. The collective goal in his new role is to increase the potential for community media. This is defined as Black media, Latino media, Indigenous media, Asian media, and media that is geared towards immigrant communities. It can also include Jewish media, Muslim media, Catholic media, etc. Ensuring Black media outlets are more sustainable is also a top initiative in his role.  Prior to this position, Aaron was a Fellow at the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships at Stanford University, where he served as one of 19 professionals selected for a 10-month residency at Stanford assigned to research and innovate solutions in Journalism. Aaron and his cohort worked on topics like: revenue streams from public entities to fund independent newsrooms; curbing spread of misinformation and disinformation among Black news consumers.  He’s also been a journalist, of course. He served as Chief Storyteller for the City of Detroit, a position that was a Mayoral appointment, a first for a city government in the U.S. And was Editor In Chief for BLAC Detroit Magazine. Aaron comes from a family that is deeply rooted in journalism, as his mother was a reporter, editor and photographer for the Michigan Chronicle, which is considered one of the oldest Black newspapers in the country. Through his work in his new role, he wants to ensure Black media outlets are more sustainable. He offers ways for brands and businesses to successfully reach broader audiences and also sheds light on how our specialty businesses can support black media outlets and enable more people of color to feel part of our outdoor communities through media.  Kristin is joined by a co-host today, one of her esteemed Verde Brand Communications colleagues, Alice Baker!  Alice has been a part of the Verde team for about three years and crushes it day in and day out leading her clients at the agency. Alice has stepped up to lead Verde’s commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Verde’s agency-wide goal is to strategically deploy its reach, and the reach of its clients, to enable more people of color to feel welcome in the outdoors. Once a month going forward, the Channel Mastery podcast will be dedicated to that commitment. Alice will be co-hosting these special episodes.  Without further ado, here’s the Aaron Foley interview on the Channel Mastery podcast! Let’s do this!      Aaron Foley is a journalist from Detroit who has had an extensive freelance career and was the city of Detroit’s first chief storyteller from 2017 to 2019. Before joining the Newmark J-School’s Center for Community Media (CCM) in June 2020 as the Black Media Initiative Director, he was a John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University. His freelance work has appeared in BuzzFeed, The Atlantic, CNN, Forbes, The Root, Ebony, Columbia Journalism Review, New Michigan Media among other platforms. He also helped launch the successful digital news site MLive Detroit and was editor-in-chief of BLAC Detroit magazine, a publication covering black life, arts, and culture in metro Detroit. He is the author of How to Live in Detroit Without Being a Jackass (2015) and has an impressive public speaking record, including a Ted Talk. Foley describes himself as “a product of Black media.” His mother was an editor at the Michigan Chronicle, one of the oldest and last remaining Black newspapers in the country.

Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. The last time we spoke we got into sexy topics, sex, romance, and dating during this hot rona summer. This week, we are talking about something not as sexy, but definitely worth a chat now more than ever: the white gaze on black life in the media and how black voices and talents are underrepresented. Being able to showcase your talents to the world should be a freedom for all regardless of race, but yet we see an industry that fails to do this. We are joined by Jorge Romero who is usually behind the scenes as the co-producer and graphic designer for Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson and the remarkable Aaron Foley who is the new Black Media Initiative director at the Craig Newmark School of Journalism at CUNY.

Luke Castle of the Royal Starr Film Festival and the Royal Starr Arts Institute returns to talk to Seth and Becky about what's going on in Detroit. Also, Detroit's Chief Storyteller, Aaron Foley, calls in to offer his take on the Democratic debate in the city.

In this month’s episode, I speak with Chief Storyteller of Detroit Aaron Foley about this work with the mayor’s office running a storytelling project called The Neighborhoods. His job is to capture the dynamic landscape of the people who make up the city of Detroit. Aaron Foley aims to bring together the diverse people in the rapidly changing city of Detroit and unite them through story. Aaron and his team look for the stories that are not being told. They find authentic stories to share with the world. Not to influence or shape the narratives, but to simply let them unfold. To pay homage to people who have contributed to the city he loves. Check out his work here - http://theneighborhoods.org/

As black people "come up" in the world, how can we keep our culture alive instead of letting it fall apart with gentrification? How do we honor where we came from while moving up in the world? How do we support the communities that made us who we are? How do we unconsciously contribute to the demise of our own culture? Aaron Foley, City of Detroit's Chief Storyteller, gives us all the info we need to keep the culture alive.  For more trusted guidance to make your life better, visit: www.motivationforblackpeople.com Hosted by Justin Michael Williams

There's a lot of exploration on part of local government for better community engagement. With such a diversity of communication and preference out there, it seems pretty complex. But what if it isn't? What if the simplest idea -- even one that hasn't been tried before -- is the key? On this episode we check out Detroit, Mich., and its novel creation of a "chief storyteller" who has editorial autonomy to tell otherwise overlooked stories from within the city and its neighborhoods, on behalf of its government. And then we check in with the City of Salisbury, N.C., to learn about its award-winning answer to feedback from residents who said the city's government staff was disconnected from the people. This episode has ideas. Aaron Foley - https://aaronkfoley.com/about/ The Neighborhoods - Aaron Foley on GovLove - Southern City magazine issue with the Salisbury initiative -  

I first learned about Aaron Foley when I came across a CNN story on his role as the official Chief Storyteller for Detroit. I love the art of storytelling and I’m originally from Detroit so this profile on CNN resonated with me. I added Aaron to my list of targeted interviews and began my research. It didn’t take long for me to realize Aaron is a kindred spirit. We both have a complicated relationship with our hometown, we are both a bit of a smart ass (take a look at his book How to Live in Detroit Without Being a Jackass), we both believe Faygo Red Pop is easily the best flavor they have, and we both believe it is important to balance a city’s regeneration while respecting and maintaining its history and culture. The role of a Chief Storyteller (CSO) isn’t a new concept. Microsoft’s Steve Clayton has held this role since 2010 and IBM’s Louis Richardson is always fascinating to listen to. Aaron is simply the first and only Chief Storyteller I’m aware of for a major city and appointed by a government official (Detroit’s Mayor Duggan). This is a move I applaud and one that I wish more cities adopt going forward. This is modernizing (or digitizing) the age old practice of telling a community’s oral history. Ages ago this happened over a fire or in a tribe’s communal space. The desire to listen to stories is an innate human characteristic, one we can’t afford to lose as we become more and more dependent upon technology in our everyday lives. This is both Aaron’s and Detroit’s story. Special Guest: Aaron Foley.

Aaron Foley is an author, journalist and now the Chief Storyteller for the City of Detroit, MI. He joined GovLove to talk about his position, which was created by the Mayor last year, and the unique work he's doing as a city employee.

Topics: Lightning round (2:50), Aaron's career path & influence of his parents (7:55), Standing up for Detroit after its downturn (15:15), Best books on Detroit & his mixed feelings on Detroit's comeback (20:20), Taking the Chief Storyteller job with the City (27:50), The work they did in year one (35:00), How they work with the City's communications shop (45:35), and Navigating local government bureaucracy (52:30).

A Chat Corey Taylor of Stone Sour & SlipKnot and I had in my car right after meeting Aaron Foley, an incredibly inspiring young man who is facing some major life challenges with insane amounts of bravery and humor.

We talked life, music, grandmothers, and Henry Rollins. What followed was one of the greatest things I've ever gotten to do in radio.
