Brittany speaks to Anna and Ofranama Biu, chief economist and senior research director at the Maven Collaborative, about why Black women's unemployment is on the rise and why this trend could be a troubling sign for the rest of the country.Follow Brittany Luse on Instagram: @bmluseFor handpicked podcast recommendations every week, subscribe to NPR's Pod Club newsletter at npr.org/podclub.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Im back to share my thoughts on all things cultural. In this episode, I break down a series of stories that highlight entitlement, power, and injustice. I discuss the unnecessary killing of Charlie Kirk and the outrage over Diddy's sentencing, i share my thoughts on how the judge used acquitted conduct to justify an upward departure from the sentencing guidelines, which I see as an abuse of power and a miscarriage of justice.I also dive into a CNN report about Black women being laid off by DOGE. Over 300k black women were pushed aside. While I understand the government needs to improve, I feel these actions represent a direct attack on the Black community.Plus, I explain why I started Season 6 for just five episodes instead of extending Season 5... the break was too long, but hey, you guys are entitled! This episode is all about entitlement, justice, and the imbalance of power in society.RIP Bettye McElrath, Woe to them that call evil good and good evil.
Who's ready to talk all about the second half (and by that, we mean basically just 8 minutes) of New Girl's iconic "Cooler" episode?Jenn (@notajenny) and Jaime (@jaimepoland) are back again and they have so many feelings to talk through! They discuss the kind of odd Schmidt/Cece interaction and what it means for their story the rest of the season. Plus they discuss how fun it is to see Winston banter with Daisy.They then, of course, spend the majority of the time talking about how Nick and Jess' isolation in the hallway leads to some comedy — and then some romantic tension. Finally, they talk about Nick's swoon-worthy lines ("No, not like this" and "I meant something like that") and talk a little bit about that game-changing first kiss. (We're still not over it.)They then spend some time with their favorite segment: Things Nick Miller did that were hot. And they mentally try to prepare themselves for their final part of this episode where they will talk in-depth about The Kiss™!Enjoy, all, and we'll see you back here soon!Our recommended media:Sign o' the Times (available for free on Tubi!)"Mickey Chambers Shakes It Up" by Charish ReidFollow us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Twitter for more fun content.

Is artifical intelligence truly neutral - or is it quietly reflecting and amplifying society's deepest biases? In this episode of Black Women's Health with Dr. Rahman, we unpack a recent MIT study that shed light on non- clinical determinants of health of clinical decisions in Large Language Models (LLS). You get to determine if it's racist.The Medium is the Message: How Non-Clinical Information Shapes Clinical Decisions in LLMs. Gourabathina A et al. 6/2025
So many of us have been taught to ignore our bodies—to overwork, overgive, and override our intuition. In this episode, I'm joined by intuitive psychic medium and author Aycee Brown, who shares how human design, astrology, numerology, and ancestral wisdom can guide us back home to ourselves.Aycee Brown brings a refreshing, grounded perspective to the world of spirituality. As a psychic medium and teacher, she uses tools like human design, numerology, and astrology not as rigid labels, but as pathways to self-trust and healing.In our conversation, Aycee reflects on growing up in a family of healers, healing from emotionally immature parents, and what it means to shed the weight of respectability politics. We talk about the traps of capitalism and hustle culture, how projectors often get mislabeled as “overnight successes,” and the importance of honoring your design in relationships. In this episode, we cover:How human design, numerology, astrology, and cardology intersectThe truth behind “overnight success” and why projectors feel it mostHealing the wounds of eldest daughters and emotionally immature parentsThe ways capitalism disconnects us from intuition—and how to resistUsing your human design to navigate love, work, and friendshipsResources & LinksConnect with Aycee: ayceebrown.com | @ayceebrownCLICK HERE to Pre-order her forthcoming book Embody Your MagicExplore Aycee's courses and workshops on human design, astrology, and numerology
Send us a textA poll shock, a policy gamble, a courtroom reckoning, and a boundary that saves a life this episode traces how power, data, culture, and healing collide. We open with a blunt read on fresh numbers putting Nigel Farage within striking distance and ask the tougher question: when the main parties feel unmoored, how do we vote with integrity rather than despair? That thread pulls straight into Keir Starmer's renewed digital ID push. We unpack the Tony Blair Institute's influence, the risks of centralising identity, and why “digital by default” without ironclad security and strict limits is a civil liberties problem, not a modernisation plan.The data story gets painfully real. Cyber attacks have moved from headlines to homes, taking down retailers and even a nursery targeted with stolen images and records. We talk practical defence password managers, multi‑factor authentication, data minimisation and call for sharper laws that fit the crime, especially when perpetrators operate within the UK. Accountability shows up in culture too. Noel Clarke's failed libel suit against The Guardian leaves a £3m cost order and a clearer message: credible reporting and survivor testimony can stand in court, and industry gatekeepers must stop waiting for the courts to do the safeguarding they should have led.Not everything is bleak. The Skims x Nike collaboration is a live case study in strategic branding: knowing your value, choosing partners that amplify it, and letting consistent delivery turn into reputation that travels without you. And then there's the personal work. We share the reality of going no contact with a narcissistic parent after a traumatic birth a choice framed not by bitterness but by the pursuit of peace, therapy, and a safe, joyful home for a child. Boundaries, like encryption, are protective by design.If you're here for smart political analysis, digital privacy insight, culture with a backbone, and honest talk about healing, you're in the right place. Listen, reflect, and tell us where you draw your own lines on data, on votes, on family.

The phrase “Black girl magic” has deep roots in enslaved women's lives. Lindsey Stewart is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Memphis, and she joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the medicine that stemmed from African traditions that was often more trusted than white doctors' advice, how this magic was passed down through generations, and how it endures today. Her book is “The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women's Magic.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman
Hey lady! The weather's cooling down but for some of us that doesn't necessarily mean that your body is lowering the temperature. Why? Because perimenopause is a thing and it's time we talk about it and why it's impacting Black women more and earlier than other women.Friend of the podcast and all-around boss babe, Dr. Janet Williams, a Los Angeles-based OB/GYN and author of Why Don't I Like Sex Anymore? The Grown Woman's Guide to Getting Your Groove Back and Claiming Your Truth joins Dr. Dom and Terri to get real about a natural station in life for every cis-gendered woman. You may remember the many jewels she dropped in season 25, episode 5 urging women to take more ownership in their intimate pleasure. She's now back to arm Black women with the information they need during one of the most significant changes in life. Once considered the marker of old age it is now a signifier of the strength and beauty that exists in aging. But, before you rise in your feminine power there are some things to know to make the journey smoother…and less sweaty.Dr. Janet not only provides a clear definition of what menopause, perimenopause and post-menopause are but also break down what is happening in the body and provide specific markers you can use as a guide to help you inform yourself about where you are on the journey. Dr. Janet uses her expertise to offer guidance on treatments like hormone replacement therapy, demystifies the sometimes-inexplicable changes happening in the body, and clears up myths and confusion around proper supplementation to ease some of the uncomfortable symptoms that occur during each phase.Lady, you already know where to go to get your level-up journal (Patreon), but there's more on Patreon as well.

Send us a textEver wondered why that mentor relationship isn't yielding results? The harsh truth is that many mentoring relationships fail to deliver actual career advancement especially for Black women. In this candid episode, we unpack why traditional mentorship often falls short and what true strategic mentoring should look like. It's not about inspirational coffee chats or vague encouragement; it's about someone with genuine influence opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to you. As I share from personal experience, "A mentor without contacts or influence is just a friend with opinions."We also tackle the growing trend of companies mandating three-day office returns and how to negotiate terms that work for your life. Through my own negotiation story, I demonstrate how standing firm on your non-negotiables can actually work in your favour, even in a tough job market. Remember if employers want your talents badly enough, they'll meet your terms.The episode also explores how neurodivergent individuals are protected under the Equality Act as a disability class, offering important legal insights for workplace accommodations. Plus, I share a personal story about setting boundaries with new friendships and the importance of protecting your kindness from those who would take advantage.Between renovation chaos and career revelations, this episode delivers practical wisdom for navigating work politics, boundary-setting, and strategic relationship building. Whether you're seeking advancement or simply trying to maintain your sanity in today's workplace, these insights will help you recognize your worth and advocate for yourself effectively.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/ Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star Stationary Company - Sistah Scribble Instagram @sistahscribble Website: www.sistahscribble.com

In this episode, Dr. Kameelah Phillips, OBGYN and author of The Empowered Hysterectomy, breaks down the truth about fibroids, hysterectomies, and perimenopause—and why informed choices matter for every woman's health. Dr. Phillips shares why nearly 80% of Black women will experience fibroids by age 50, how medical gaslighting keeps too many of us suffering in silence, and what real informed consent should look like in the exam room. With honesty and humor, she also opens up about her own journey through perimenopause, the power of hormone therapy, and why even world-class athletes like Serena Williams aren't immune from poor medical advice.In this episode, you'll learn:How to recognize the overlooked signs of fibroids (beyond heavy bleeding)Alternatives to hysterectomy: from hormonal therapies to minimally invasive proceduresWhat perimenopause really is (and why it can last up to 10 years)How hormone therapy works, who it helps, and where plant-based supports fit inPractical ways to advocate for yourself and push back against medical gaslightingResources & LinksCLICK to PURCHASE The Empowered Hysterectomy by Dr. Kameelah Phillips Follow Dr. Phillips on Instagram: @DrKameelahSays Learn more at Cala Women's Health, NYCWant more?

Historian and scholar, Dr. Keisha Blain joins The Electorette to discuss her groundbreaking new book, Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights. This vital chronicle reframes the history of Black women's activism—not only as a fight for civil rights in the U.S., but as a global human rights struggle that continues to shape our world today. From Ida B. Wells's anti-lynching crusade that called out America on the world stage, to Madam C.J. Walker's international diplomacy, to Black women radicals who linked civil rights to anti-apartheid and Palestinian liberation, Dr. Blain uncovers how Black women's vision of justice has always been expansive, international, and transformative. We also explore what their legacy teaches us about today's political moment, and why documenting these stories is essential as forces attempt to erase them. Learn more about your ad choices.

Henry being jealous!).Then they talk about workplace friendships and relationships, how bad Eliza and Henry really are at making meaningful, emotional connections with people who are not each other, why we love Charmonique so much, and the very sweet end to "A Little Yelp From My Friends."Enjoy, all!Our recommended media:Superstore (Peacock)Cirie Fields (Survivor franchise, Big Brother, The Traitors)Follow us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Twitter for more fun content.

Will an era of rap that's finally making room for its male elders make equitable space for women and MaGes too? For this conversation we use the Clipse epic rollout as grown ass rappers (Pusha T, 48 & Malice, 53) launching their highly rated album and successful tour - to explore the experiences and P.O.V of Black women in and around the industry. I promise you it's not a reach. Culture writer Starr Rocque & PR Strategist Uchechi Chinyere join me to discuss all things Clipse, hip-hop, Black women & femmes. You don't have to know shxt about the Clipse or their latest album Let God Sort Em' Out to enjoy this conversation, but also please email and let me know how you managed to avoid knowing shxt about the Clipse during this very Clipse 2025. I think it's important to note that Tyler the Creator who shows up in one of the best features of the album is queer. We mention his feature, but not his queerness, which IS relevant in THIS conversation.

Even before they were recognized as citizens of the United States, Black women understood that the fights for civil and human rights were inseparable. Over the course of two hundred years, they were at the forefront of national and international movements for social change, weaving connections between their own and others' freedom struggles around the world. Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights (W.W. Norton, 2025) tells how, during American history, Black women made humans rights theirs: from worldwide travel and public advocacy in the global Black press to their work for the United Nations, they courageously and effectively moved human rights beyond an esoteric concept to an active, organizing principle. Acclaimed historian Keisha N. Blain tells the story of these women—from the well-known, like Ida B. Wells, Madam C. J. Walker, and Lena Horne, to those who are still less known, including Pearl Sherrod, Aretha McKinley, and Marguerite Cartwright. Blain captures human rights thinking and activism from the ground up with Black women at the center, working outside the traditional halls of power. By shouldering intersecting forms of oppression—including racism, sexism, and classism—Black women have long been in a unique position to fight for freedom and dignity. Without Fear is an account of their aspirations, strategies, and struggles to pioneer a human rights approach to combating systems of injustice. Dr. Keisha Blain is a professor of Africana studies and history at Brown University. She is a Guggenheim, Carnegie, and New America Fellow, and author—most recently of the National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Until I Am Free.

Despite facing significant obstacles in their own lives, black women in the United States were at the forefront of campaigns for human rights at home and abroad. Historian Keisha N Blain tells the stories of some of these women who, in the 19th and 20th centuries, worked outside the corridors of power to fight for freedom across the globe.

How did Black Women become magical? In episode 138, Ellie and David talk to Lindsey Stewart about her book, The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women's Magic. They talk about how the concept of ‘conjure' shifted from its origin in the West African tradition to how it manifests in African American communities today. They discuss how Yoruba religion traveled to the US with slavery, as well as exploring the impact of historical images like the Mammy and the Voodoo Queen. What are the dangers of rhetoric of Black women being magical? How has Christianity influenced the ignorance that many Americans have around conjure? Is Beyonce magical? And does her album Cowboy Carter invoke the West African concept of Sankofa? In the Substack bonus segment, Ellie and David talk about magic on a larger scale, and parse out the differences between magic, religion and science. Works Discussed: Keisha L. Bentley-Edwards and Valerie N. Adams, “I am not (your) superwoman, Black girl magic, or beautiful struggle: Rethinking the resilience of Black women and girls” Kim R.
