DALLAS (AURN News) — Two months into her historic role as the first executive director of Public Media Women in Leadership (PMWL), Aishah Rashied Hyman is already transforming how PBS and NPR stations approach diversity in both leadership and audience engagement. "When I found public media, I felt like I found the planet that I was supposed to be on professionally," says Rashied Hyman. "But it wasn't perfect. There were still challenges." Those challenges include a leadership landscape that hasn't always reflected America's diversity. But data supports change, she argues: "When women are leading, the conversations are more inclusive, there's more engagement, there's more mentoring and nurturing of that next generation." Her approach stems from PMWL's boot camp program, which she credits with changing her own career trajectory. "What I realized through the program is that there weren't any insurmountable barriers other than just my own mind. My mindset was the biggest barrier to my professional advancement in public media,” she told AURN News. Now she's focused on creating similar opportunities for others. "When I see the spark in a young person, particularly young women of color, I see myself in them. And I want to make sure everybody gets pulled up," she says. "I want that spark to become a huge flame, so that they can go on and do great things." Under her leadership at various stations, including her recent role as Senior Vice President of Development at KERA, Rashied Hyman's leadership generated more than $200 million from diverse audiences over two decades. At the same time, Rashied Hyman has consistently pushed for systemic change in how public media operates and who it serves. She was a founding member of Public Media For All, a diverse coalition of public media workers, led by people of color, advocating for more diversity, equity and inclusion in the industry. "It's not enough for us to have diverse storytellers and diverse staff working inside of public television and radio stations," she explains. "We need the people who support public media to represent our communities across the country as well, because investment from donors has the biggest impact on our ability to tell the stories of our diverse community. The collective input from our supporters impacts whose stories we tell, who produces the content, what stays on the air." She also points to her successful initiative at Georgia Public Broadcasting, where partnerships with organizations like African Ancestry.com opened new pathways for community engagement. "People in our community were telling us that they didn't feel like we were asking them to get involved. They didn't feel like they were invited to the table when it came to giving and supporting public media." Rashied Hyman is equally focused on transforming content creation and programming. "The days of one or two people at a station or at a network deciding what a potential audience might want to see... that's just a really antiquated approach," she says. "We've got to engage our audience, really our community, as storytellers, as content creators and as programmers." Her mission is deeply rooted in public media's founding principles. "It was absolutely created for underserved communities," she says. "That's why it was invented in the first place. That's what the Public Broadcasting Act was all about. If you go back and read it, that's exactly what it says." The impact of representation remains central to her vision. Speaking of her own experience wearing natural hair and traditional African clothing on air, she recalls: "Little girls would come up to me and say, 'Oh, that's the lady with the real black hair and the black name.' There was something about not just me being a black woman on television, but the way I was showing up as my authentic self." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dear Mama, Who is the girl the woman who survived in the belly of the boat that brought you here? Where did she come from?  How do we find our way back to that place?  Why should we find our way back to that place?  In this episode, WE JOURNEY & Dr. Gina Paige, co-founder of African Ancestry is ridin with us! Along the way:

Black Americans have been underrepresented in most genomic studies of neurological disorders. As a result, scientists don't know much about whether African ancestry affects a person's risk for these disorders or their response to a particular treatment. To help close this gap, the Lieber Institute for Brain Development, African American community leaders in Baltimore, and researchers from Duke University and Morgan State University created the African Ancestry Neuroscience Research Initiative in 2019. The team found that genes associated with African ancestry appear to affect certain brain cells in ways that could increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease and stroke.

In a casual conversation with a friend in 2010, Dr. Gina Paige was introduced to a book with a bold title and an interesting premise—Brainwashed by Tom Burrell. In the book, Burrell takes the framework of advertising and marketing campaigns to explain the hundreds of years-long process of brainwashing Black people into believing their own inferiority. While she was already aware of this connection between Black people and racist advertising because of the research she did in graduate school, Gina found this premise enlightening and helpful in thinking about why her company, African Ancestry, did such important work for the Black community. Using cutting-edge genetic science, African Ancestry is able to reconnect African-Americans to their African heritage down to the specific people and place with just a sample of their DNA. In this episode, we talk about the significance of knowing who your ancestors are, the power of mitochondrial DNA, and the multi-faceted relationship between Black people and science.

Hey Friends & Kin!This episode is a special one. Joining me for this episode is Dr. Gina Paige (from episode No. 29), Co-Founder + President of AfricanAncestry.com and my FAMILY! Over the summer during my family reunion in Las Vegas, I participated in a Facebook Live (linked here) event with African Ancestry and Dr. Paige, wherein my family took a DNA test during our conversation.  We ended up doing one test for each of my great grandparents:  my great grandmother's MATERNAL line & my great grandfather's PATERNAL line. It was amazing and I was so honored to be able to share with the African Ancestry family that experience during our family reunion. Dr. Paige, not too long ago, came to do an IN-PERSON African Ancestry DNA reveal for my family. It was AMAZING. Such a wonderful time for finding out who, what, how and where we were BEFORE the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Before our ancestors were captured and brought AGAINST THEIR WILL to America – that is what we found out on that very day. I am so excited and proud.  I feel like my ancestors are all smiling down on me DAILY and that they are so pleased with me for making sure my family got to experience such a monumental moment. TOGETHER. As ALWAYS, I am so grateful and so humbled by your support and encouragement. You are a blessing to me. Hand Me My Purse is exactly what it is and will grow to become something FAR BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS - ALL because of your simple, consistent and intentional acts of kindness. I pray God blesses each and every one of you immensely. I appreciate you and love you so much for your support. "GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week, my heart is indeed warmed (I hope you all had a love-filled Valentine's Day) as I prepare to travel back to Ghana, leaving winter behind for 2022. I'm excited to share this fun and insightful conversation, which in many ways helps me pick up where I left off as I met my guest this week just days before traveling to the US. Fellow Stanford alum, Gina Paige's magic lies at the intersection of culture, science, and business. Her passion for helping individuals connect to their cultural identity has secured her a solid place in history as the co-founder of African Ancestry, Inc (https://africanancestry.com)., as a pioneer for a new way of tracing African lineages using genetics, and as the innovator behind a new marketplace for people of African descent looking to trace their roots more accurately and reliably. She travels the world helping people demystify their roots and inform on identities so that they may better understand who they are by knowing where they're from. With a career that spans nearly thirty years, she has become the go-to expert on DNA-based ancestry tracing for people of African descent.
