In this unfiltered discussion, *Upgrade America* dives headfirst into the turbulent intersection of politics, power, and justice. From the Trump administration granting asylum to white South African refugees—forcing a deep comparison between apartheid and Jim Crow—to the future of the Middle East's long-standing conflict, we dissect global shifts with bold honesty. The episode also explores the Vatican's new American Pope, unearthing historical impact and conspiracy theories surrounding this selection. Meanwhile, politicians flaunting cocaine use ignite a fresh debate on the prohibition of legal drugs—who really sets the rules? As Black communities grapple with taking justice into their own hands, we challenge the notion of blind justice and ask: *Is this the future?* From a Black father avenging his son's life to the broader implications of community-led justice, this episode gets real about changing the system. And just when you thought things couldn't get more controversial, we break down Trump's potential decoupling from Israel's longstanding influence and Kanye's newest album—pushing free speech beyond limits. A special shoutout to all our German *Upgraders*! You're the largest non-American group tuning into *Upgrade America*, and we appreciate you rocking with us. Vielen Dank!
Today, we're diving deep into a conversation that many of us avoid but desperately need—accountability and forgiveness. As Black men, our ability to heal and evolve is directly tied to how well we own our mistakes and release resentment. Without accountability, growth is stunted. Without forgiveness, peace is impossible.
As Black journalists are becoming more vocal and seemingly more attacked by their counterparts and even current political leaders, The Revs discuss how Black media professionals can remain steadfast in their pursuits while maintaining their authenticity.**All Rev'd Up was named one of the top 15 WGBH podcasts to listen to in 2025 by FeedSpot!

As we stand on the cusp of a new year, Brig challenges us to leave behind one destructive habit: being our own worst critic. As Black women, we carry the weight of many roles—protector, nurturer, and fixer—not just for ourselves but for others too. Yet, in the process, we often become our own harshest critics. In this quick yet impactful episode, Brig implores us to stop turning our frustrations and disappointments inward. Tune in as Brig unpacks how societal conditioning has trained us to see ourselves as the problem, making us our easiest target. She also emphasizes the importance of recognizing when we're doing this, refusing to shrink, and turning compassion inward. This episode is a powerful love note to every Black woman, reminding us that we are not too much, not broken, but a whole masterpiece navigating a world that wasn't built for us to thrive. Imagine the bold moves we could make and the peace we could feel if we stopped the self-blame. In 2025, let's choose to be our greatest ally, not our easiest target.

I'm so proud of this one. My girl Janiece & I deep dive into the depths of society to only BREAK OUT and return to our true selves. This is not an easy journey. It requires breaking, crying, redirection and TRUST. As Black women, we are carrying generalizations, family expectations, religious constraints, and so much more. How do we do define OURSELVES outside of the pressure?
Librarians around the country are currently on a battleground, defending their right to purchase and circulate books dealing with issues of race and systemic racism. Despite this work, the library community has often overlooked—even ignored—its own history of White supremacy and deliberate inaction on the part of White librarians and library leadership. Author Wayne A. Wiegand takes a crucial step to amend this historical record. In Silence or Indifference: Racism and Jim Crow Segregated Public School Libraries (University of Mississippi Press, 2024) analyzes and critiques the world of professional librarianship between 1954 and 1974. Wiegand begins by identifying racism in the practice and customs of public school libraries in the years leading up to the Brown v. Board of Education decision. This culture permeated the next two decades, as subsequent Supreme Court decisions led to feeble and mostly unsuccessful attempts to integrate Jim Crow public schools and their libraries. During this same period, the profession was honing its national image as a defender of intellectual freedom, a proponent of the freedom to read, and an opponent of censorship. Still, the community did not take any unified action to support Brown or to visibly oppose racial segregation. As Black school librarians and their Black patrons suffered through the humiliations and hostility of the Jim Crow educational establishment, the American library community remained largely ambivalent and silent. The book brings to light a distressing history that continues to impact the library community, its students, and its patrons. Currently available school library literature skews the historical perspective that informs the present. In Silence or Indifference is the first attempt to establish historical accountability for the systemic racism contemporary school librarianship inherited in the twenty-first century. Wayne A. Wiegand is F. William Summers Professor of Library and Information Studies Emeritus at Florida State University. Often referred to as “the Dean of American library historians,” he is author of many scholarly articles and books, including Irrepressible Reformer: A Biography of Melvil Dewey; Part of Our Lives: A People's History of the American Public Library; and American Public School Librarianship: A History. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. Jen edits for Partnership Journal and organizes with the TPS Collective.

As Black communities are springing to life, a powerful force is rising to return the south to an age of white rule. The Ku Klux Klan is established in 1865 and other white terrorist groups soon follow suit. The Lost Cause mythology is born, providing white southerners with a unifying (if inaccurate) narrative and a new vision to rally around: a white-rule south. They advance this vision through violence, propaganda, and voter suppression. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
As Black women gain recognition in highly visible positions, they are faced with various misconceptions that impact their life. When entering visible positions or running for office, black women have to not only work against racial and gendered misconceptions but also present themselves in a relatable way. The balancing act puts high-levels of stress on black women that do not exist for other candidates. We'll discuss those misconceptions and ways to fairly evaluate their candidacy.

These dating streets are not for the faint of heart, y'all. As Black women, dating can be, well, complicated. There are moments of abundance and moments of scarcity, moments of maturity and moments with a man-child, moments of pretentiousness and potential. To guide us with some insight and helpful tips, we invite the woman who's seen it all and coached women through it all, Cheryl Grace, CEO of Powerful Penny LLC. She specializes in holistic transformation in career and love for women of all ages. As we explore our approaches to dating, Cheryl (without an e) shares some tips that could land us a Russell Wilson.
As Black women assume more leadership positions across industries they are coming under attack in a variety of ways. The goalpost for success and credibility is constantly being moved backward or redefined. Therefore, the way attacks are crafted and deployed is also changing.

This podcast is based on Roberts' recent book, I've Been Here All the While: Black Freedom on Native Land. We explore questions around Black freedom and Native American relationships. The trail of tears runs through NWA and Native Americans moved though the area with their enslaved Africans. Furthermore, with westward expansion onto Native land, the question of black citizenship would be co-mingled with the issue. As Black, white, and Native people recreated concepts of race, belonging, and national identity, Indian Territory became a space where Black people could flee to escape the ravishes of Jim Crow, as well as finally become landowners and while also exercising political rights. But Blacks have had to sue Native Nations for citizenship rights in recent years. Now with increasing calls for reparations and demands for land, Black and Native relationships are necessary to understand.

A video from Shonda Rhimes caught my eye this week. In a world that sometimes seems determined to make us feel small, it's essential to remember the power of being our own cheerleaders. As Black women , we've weathered our fair share of challenges and triumphs. Yet, amid the demands of work, family, and societal expectations, it's easy to forget to celebrate ourselves and acknowledge our worth. So in recognition of the week of love , I want to focus on the concept of "showing up" for ourselves beyond mere presence ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please join Linda Quiquivix, William C. Anderson, & Mohamed Abdou for a round table conversation on "Palestine 1492: Settler-colonialism, Solidarity & Resistance." They will situate Palestine transnationally in relation to 1492, & discuss admirable acts of solidarity by activists and organizers as well as common pitfalls within leftist social movement circles drawing on Zapatista, Black, Palestinian, Arab-North African & Muslim lenses. Speakers: Linda Quiquivix is a geographer and seed saver based in California. She places her university training at the service of under-resourced communities in the U.S., Mexico, and Palestine who seek clean water, land, and tools to build and strengthen their collective autonomies. William C. Anderson is a writer and activist from Birmingham, Alabama. His work has appeared in The Guardian, MTV, Truthout, British Journal of Photography, and Pitchfork, among others. He is the author of The Nation on No Map (AK Press 2021) and co-author of As Black as Resistance (AK Press 2018). He's also the co-founder of Offshoot Journal and provides creative direction as a producer of the Black Autonomy Podcast. His writings have been included in the anthologies, Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect? (Haymarket 2016) and No Selves to Defend (Mariame Kaba 2014). Dr. Mohamed Abdou is a North African-Egyptian Muslim anarchist interdisciplinary activist-scholar of Indigenous, Black, critical race, and Islamic studies, as well as gender, sexuality, abolition, and decolonization with extensive fieldwork experience in the Middle East-North Africa, Asia, and Turtle Island. This year, he is the Arcapita Visiting Assistant Professor of Middle Eastern, South Asian and African studies (MESAAS) at Columbia University. He is a former Assistant Professor of Sociology at the American University of Cairo and recently completed his postdoctoral fellowship at Cornell University. He has also taught at the University of Toronto & Queen's University. His research stems from his involvement with the anti-globalization post-Seattle 1999 movements, organizing for Palestinian liberation, the Tyendinaga Mohawks and the sister territories of Kahnawake, Akwesasne, and Kanehsatake, during the standoff over the Culbertson tract, as well as the anti-war protests of Iraq and Afghanistan, the Indigenous Zapatista movement in Chiapas, and the 2011 Egyptian uprisings. He is author of Islam & Anarchism: Relationships & Resonances (Pluto Press, 2022). He wrote his transnational ethnographic and historical-archival PhD dissertation on Islam & Queer-Muslims: Identity & Sexuality in the Contemporary (2019).

The better question is “do the college rankings consider Black families……” Regardless, affluent college educated Black families have very strong feelings about what kinds of colleges their children should attend and why. Does it have to be an Ivy or Ivy-adjacent school? Does the PWI have to have a certain percentage of Black students? Are my children “Black enough” to attend an HBCU?!!! These are real questions that middle and upper-class Black people think about and Dr. Deborwah Faulk has taken the time to dissect this phenomena and give it light. As a Professor of Anthropology and Africana Studies at the University of Richmond, her 2023 scholarly research entitled College Choices, Choice Dilemmas: Black Advantaged Parents' Views of Their Children's College Options focuses on much of what we aim to examine in our book, The Black Family's Guide to College Admissions: A Conversation About Education, Parenting and Race. We were fortunate to interview this proud woman of Spelman who earned her doctorate at the The Ohio State University and share our thoughts as well as highlight hers. Rankings, status, prestige and “what other people think” are woven into the fabric of American society. As Black people who make financial, cultural and educational choices for our children, we cannot ignore this fact. Dr. Faulk gives voice to those who embrace this notion and those who want to challenge it. Her scholarship is novel and necessary. Learn something and let's discuss.
The rise of Black-owned wineries is more than a matter of representation; it's also a matter of economic opportunity. The wine industry contributes billions to the U.S. economy. As Black-owned wineries gain prominence, they create jobs, contribute to economic growth, and empower communities. Brands like McBride Sisters Wine, the largest African-American-owned wine company in the U.S., and Mouton Noir Winesare the only two black-owned wineries sold in Arkansas, exemplifying the possible economic impact and empowerment.

Think about your worth. No, not your material possessions or the balance in your bank account. Consider the metaphorical 'share price' of your personal and professional self-worth. This intriguing episode navigates the ebb and flow of our perceived value, much like the fluctuations of the stock market.

True to its name, the Overton Window is all about shifting paradigms. Through my journey from viewing homeownership as an unachievable dream to making it a reality, I share my insights on how this concept can shape our lives. This episode is an invitation to push the boundaries of your thinking, to journey towards that 'unthinkable' level of success. So, buckle up and get ready to shift your perspective for a more fulfilling life.
This podcast episode delves into the concept of wokeness in the Black community, tracing its evolution and discussing its demonization in modern politics, particularly in states like Florida. The term "woke" originated as a Black activist watchword that demanded people "stay woke" against police brutality. However, the way that terms like "woke" and "wokeness" are used outside of the Black Lives Matter community seems to bear little connection to their original context. The war against wokeness is an inevitability, one that is either ignored or unknown to those who accept the whitewashed history that the anti-woke warriors seek to preserve. As Black people, we are the woke mob, and we should continue to educate ourselves and have open conversations about wokeness and its importance in our communities. It's time to embrace our wokeness and use it as a tool for change --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theafrocentricpodcast/message

For many people, especially those of color, we're taught never to show our underbelly - never to move forward with anything until it's perfect. It's almost ingrained in us to wait for perfection before we make a move, which, in reality, only results in delays and sometimes even forfeitures. So how can we get out of our own way and stop waiting for perfection? In this episode, author and award-winning journalist L'Oreal Thompson Payton gets triggered as she talks about what it means to wait for perfect, how it affects us, how it shows up in our lives, and what we can do about it. From her fertility journey to COVID lockdowns to writing her first book, tune in as L'Oreal shares her experiences with perfectionism, and when it hurt her as well as served her. KEY POINTS: - How L'Oreal's fertility journey taught her to release control - Steps to overcome the need for perfection - The connection between procrastination and perfection - “Done is better than perfect.” - Releasing perfectionism in your relationships - Why we need to learn how to rest - Can perfectionism ever be useful? QUOTABLES: “You can't control life. You can do your best, and you can show up, and you can try again. But you can't be perfect all the time. Nor should you.” - L'Oreal Thompson Payton “Perfect is the enemy of good. As Black women, we have been conditioned from the womb to work twice as hard to get half as much.” - L'Oreal Thompson Payton GUEST RESOURCES: L'Oreal Thompson Payton ltinthecity.com IG | instagram.com/ltinthecity Twitter | twitter.com/LTintheCity PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: For more info, visit their website: triggeredafpodcast.com Like what you're hearing?

As Black women, and especially mothers, one of the things we have to come to terms with is how, historically, we've often been treated as vessels—completely lacking our own agency. Whether it was our enslaved ancestors made to give birth with no compassion or downtime or the current discrepancies that exist in Black maternal health, there's no shortage of examples of mistreatment in Black motherhood. Amazingly, though, there are a number of women who are using their time and resources to change that dynamic for others and for our future generations.Today in honor of Black Maternal Health Week, you'll hear one of my favorite episodes of Mamaste to date. I brought together five amazing mothers who are pushing the culture forward and taking agency over our own health when it comes to pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum experience.Join me as I welcome Ericka Dorsey and Tamesha Valverde, co-founders of Flourishing Families, Karesha Boyd, Flourishing Families doula/advocate, Alia McCants, Founder of Spelmoms Facebook group, and Vanessa Simmons, Founder & CEO of Normalize Breastfeeding.

As Black women, who can we trust to tell our stories and tell them accurately? This week we're getting introspective and discussing the importance of stories told by and for Black women. We share the voices of some amazing, trailblazing Black women in the media who have and are currently breaking the traditional white landscape of storytelling and unapologetically telling it like it is. And a special thanks to Liz Thompson and The Cafe Group for hosting this conversation and allowing When Magic Happens to celebrate six Black women leaders in the media.
Black radical resistance in response to the prison industrial complex, white supremacy, racism, violence, intolerance, oppression, and more continues to be necessary work for the liberation for all people. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the book As Black as Resistance: Finding the Conditions for Liberation by Zoé Samudzi and William C. Anderson, which calls for a new form of transformative politics for Black (and collective) liberation, and what we can all take away from this unflinching resource for our continued learning and unlearning work for social justice.

Shaun Marq Anderson Given how little we are taught about Black history in general it's not surprising that most of us, me included, have relatively little knowledge of the role that Black athletes have played in the social justice movement before the late 20th century. But since the Reconstruction Era Black athletes have been pushing the envelope, trying to move us towards justice and equity. Shaun Marq Anderson and I talked about the history of Black athlete activism and how the Sports Justice Movement has been evolving over the years as well as his new book, The Black Athlete Revolt. From Black jockeys who first raced in the Kentucky Derby to Colin Kaepernick and the Black Lives Matter movement Black athletes have used their voices and public platforms to address inequities. From the flamboyant to the subtle the movement has been as diverse as the athletes participating in it. As Black athletes refuse to follow Fox anchor Laura Ingraham's directive to "shut up and dribble" their impact in their communities and the larger world continues to grow. This conversation was not only informative but fun as Shaun told me about some real characters in the history of Black athletes. Have a listen, I think you'll really enjoy it. For a written transcript of this conversation click here. About Shaun: Shaun Marq Anderson, is a global authority on sport and social responsibility Shaun says that sport is a microcosm of society, a catalyst for conversations about business, politics, racial injustice, environmental sustainability, and other pressing social issues. Shaun researches these contemporary problems in the context of sport to determine the most effective strategies and methods to solve them. As a consultant, he has used his work to help renowned brands such as Nike, ESPN, and Major League Baseball on their social responsibility initiatives. Action Steps: 1) Reach out to retired athletes taking action on causes that you care about and explore how you might connect with them. A lot of these athletes are becoming the liaison in their teams' community development arm. 2) What are the specific policy reforms that are currently being discussed that you can add your voice to with letters to the editor, letters to your legislators, and/or raising community awareness of the conversations that are happening around legislative changes. 3) Pay attention the intersecting issues of race and gender and support women's teams in their fight for justice.

Welcome to today's amazing episode with Shara McHayle, Co-founder and President at Hoop88Dreams. Shara shares stories of how she started from a young age being an entrepreneur, first by ironing jeans for other people, and then went to make lollipops that she sold at school. We talk about how she helped pioneer the first global statement driven, and street wear clothing. We talk about how when Shara joined PNB Nation she grew the brand from $150,00 to about $2.1 Million, and how they had to go get partnerships so that they could fulfill their orders. We discuss how important it is to own what we create, specifically highlighting bamboo earrings, and how while we love Sex and The City, it was that hoop earrings were originated from hip hop community, and even further back to Africa where they are an identifier of wealth and power and influence. We discuss how messed up it was that 30 years ago the black community would be changing the fashion game, but not getting rewarded for it, but instead having to pay for it. There have been so many things that we as a culture have created but have given away. As Black women, it is so important to be vulnerable and be able to say, "We are not superwoman, we didn't come from Krypton," "Let us know our history, so we can be better human beings moving forward," - Shara McHayle Connect with her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shara-mchayle-2b40732b/ Check out Hoop 88 Dreams Website: https://hoop88dreams.com/pages/about-us Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hoop88dreams/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hoop88dreams Partnered with the African American Film Critics Association for #29DaysofMagic 2023 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theaafca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aafca/?hl=en Website: aafca.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-reset-podcast/support
