In this classic episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton welcomes Lushentha Naidoo, Managing Director of the European Supplier Diversity Program (ESDP), for a candid conversation on purpose-driven leadership and the business value of inclusive procurement. Drawing on a 14-year transformation career at Unilever and a personal journey from apartheid-era South Africa to global operations leadership, Lushentha shares how caring as a leadership “superpower” can fuel innovation, save jobs, and build psychologically safe teams. She explains how supplier diversity isn't charity. It's a competitive advantage that increases agility, strengthens resilience, and unlocks fresh thinking when disruption hits.She also breaks down how ESDP bridges corporates and diverse suppliers through a fast-growing database, networking events, and the Inclusive Procurement Academy, teaching pitching, storytelling, and “corporate readiness.” From real success stories (mentorship that kept a founder in the fight) to pragmatic guidance for senior leaders doubling down on DEI, this conversation offers actionable takeaways: define the why, build inclusive cultures, and widen the supplier funnel so the best partner wins.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(03:18) Lushentha's inspirational journey to Easter Island(06:50) Growing up during Apartheid(12:53) The impact of Nelson Mandela's leadership(17:40) Lushentha's professional journey at Unilever(23:45) The power of diversity and inclusion(26:01) The transition to the European Supplier Diversity Program (ESDP)(29:09) Lushentha's advice for corporate leaders(32:17) Challenges for women in the workplace(33:52) What ESDP does, its mission, and its impact(44:06) The importance of inclusivity and DEIAdditional Links & Resources:Connect with Lushentha Naidoo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lushentha-naidoo-99730439 Learn more about ESDP: https://esdp-org.eu/ Connect with Scott Luton: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottwindonluton/Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.comSubscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

Episode: 2025.11.32The Living Full Out show with Nancy Solari inspires listeners to take bold steps in improving the lives of others. Maybe you've wondered how to turn life's hardships into meaningful opportunities to uplift those who follow in your footsteps. Join Nancy as she explores ways to channel personal resilience and purpose into creating lasting positive change for future generations. Our first caller, Hannah, shares her struggles with the fear of aging, fueled by her siblings' negative outlooks. Nancy encourages her to reject those limiting beliefs, pointing out that everyone's life lens is unique. Drawing from her experience living with blindness, Nancy explains how shifting your perspective and seeking resources, like aging podcasts or wellness tips, can help you embrace the beauty of growing older. Tune in to learn how celebrating resilience and prioritizing personal growth can inspire others to do the same.Our inspirational guest, Angela Harrolle, exemplifies living full out by dedicating her life to service and resilience. Raised in rural Minnesota as the eldest of six, Angela developed a strong work ethic early on, juggling multiple jobs to fund her college education. Her adventurous spirit led her to a career as a special agent with the U.S. State Department, where she protected iconic leaders like Colin Powell, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama. Her life transformed on 9/11 when, during training, she found herself evacuating facilities near the Pentagon—a day that underscored the value of health, safety, and connection.Angela's personal journey took another turn when she tragically lost her husband Bruce, a state trooper and paramedic, during a heroic rescue mission. Despite her grief, Angela chose to honor his legacy by leading the organization that once supported her family during their time of need. Now the CEO of a public safety nonprofit, she champions programs that aid first responders and their families, ensuring that others can thrive even after loss.Tune in to hear Angela's incredible story of perseverance and how she turned personal tragedy into a mission to uplift and inspire others. Her journey reminds us that through purpose and bold actions, we can make life better for those who come behind us.Perhaps you are navigating challenges like aging, loss, or building a meaningful legacy. Try reframing your hardships as opportunities to create positive change for those around you and for future generations. By taking bold steps, embracing resilience, and finding purpose, you can profoundly impact others' lives and truly live full out. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/living-full-out-show--1474350/support.

La Ventana Metropolitana.El profesorado gallego protagoniza una multitudinaria marcha de luto en Vigo para denunciar la "muerte de la enseñanza pública", exigiendo a la Xunta una reducción de ratios y de la carga burocrática en un clima de huelga que coincide con el malestar de los médicos ante el nuevo estatuto marco. En el sector primario, la conselleira do Mar, Marta Villaverde, convoca al Consello Galego de Pesca para analizar el impacto de los recortes de cuotas de la UE en especies clave como el lirio y la caballa. La actualidad política sigue marcada por el enfrentamiento entre Ángeles Vázquez y Abel Caballero por los permisos de la planta de biorresiduos y las inversiones en transporte, mientras el PP local advierte sobre posibles pérdidas de subvenciones si no se cumplen las normativas de bajas emisiones. En clave social, Vigo lanza campamentos de conciliación y una campaña solidaria de productos para bebés, al tiempo que Mos destaca el éxito de su programa de ajedrez escolar para el desarrollo cognitivo. Finalmente, el Celta de Claudio Giráldez afronta su compromiso de Copa mermado por las bajas, y en urbanismo se completa la reforma del parque Nelson Mandela en Navia para mejorar su accesibilidad.

This week, Fred from Spector drops by to chat about the shows wrapping up the year, the 10th anniversary of ‘Moth Boys', and what Christmas presents he'd buy for Nelson Mandela and CMAT. Naturally. We also get into our favourite — and least favourite — Christmas classics, talk about ‘Lullaby' by Together For Palestine, and attempt to unpack the mystery of Elton John's oven. We'll be back in January with a special live episode recorded on stage at Rockaway on 2nd January.

Creativity as a necessity in the age of AI. Steve Goldberg is a passionate advocate for the role of creativity in a rapidly changing world, and in this episode he shares his conviction that finding meaning and purpose beyond professional life will become increasingly vital as artificial intelligence reshapes the future of work. Steve, a former tenured professor and global consultant, shares his philosophy of "following my nose" and staying "awake to possibilities," which has led him down some truly "magical and unexpected paths".In this episode, we explore:The Power of Synchronicity: How a spontaneous bicycle ride led Steve to a Harvard scholarship, and how an overbooked flight resulted in him meeting Nelson Mandela the day after his release from prison.The Late Bloom: Steve's journey to becoming a composer of "healing piano for a noisy world", despite being convinced for decades that he "did not have a creative bone in my body". He didn't start playing the piano until he was 50 years old.The Goosebump Compass: Steve reveals his unique method of improvisation and composition – working without reading music and instead relying on his "goosebump compass" to guide the emotional impact and structure of his work.Leaving Stability for Opportunity: Why Steve resigned from a tenured college position at age 28 to pursue a consulting job that took him "literally around the world" for four decades.Creativity as a Necessity, Not a Luxury: Steve argues that with artificial intelligence accelerating job changes and disappearances, creative expression and finding purpose outside of professional life will become vital for society.Languishing or Blossoming: Discussing the concept behind Steve's book, which encourages people to choose a continuous "blossoming" process over a fixed mindset, particularly in the face of life's challenges.Find Steve's music and book here.You Might Also LikeRich Chambers Keeps RockingPiano à Deux: Music, Marriage and Modern technologySuzanne Noble – dirty blues and Dorothy FieldsBuy arts and crafts techniques books, plus books by some of my podcast guests, from the Creativity Found bookshop  Help me to keep making this podcast at buymeacoffee.com/creativityfoundSupport the showWant to be a guest on Creativity Found?

À Grigny, dans le département de l'Essonne, en 2019, un groupe de femmes immigrées, sans papiers et sans emploi, pour la plupart, a fondé le collectif baptisé « les Mamas de Grigny ». Au-delà de leurs situations précaires, elles partagent une passion : la cuisine. De ventes à la sauvette devant la gare de leur ville, qui les exposaient régulièrement aux forces de l'ordre, elles se sont engagées dans un processus de professionnalisation, visant une régularisation de leur situation et une autonomie financière. [REDIFFUSION DU 11.04.2025] Devant l'espace jeunesse Nelson Mandela du quartier de la Grande Borne, à Grigny, en région parisienne, une bonne odeur de cuisine titille les narines. Chaque mardi et jeudi matin, les « Mamas de Grigny » occupent la cuisine du centre social mis à leur disposition par la municipalité de Grigny. Raphaëlle Lebouc, qui travaille pour l'association qui accompagne les mamas dans leur projet de professionnalisation en cuisine, nous présente les cuisinières du jour. Parmi les six dames qui s'affairent dans la cuisine, Cécile, une veuve de 40 ans, originaire de la République démocratique du Congo témoigne : « On fait de l'attiéké avec du poisson. On travaille deux fois, mardi et jeudi. On travaille pour les sans-abris, avec les gens qui sont en précarité. On les aide », explique-t-elle.  Pendant que Cécile coupe les oignons, Aïcha, une Ivoirienne de 30 ans, est en train de frire du poisson. « Aujourd'hui, on fait de l'attiéké au poisson. Mais à part ça, on fait du tiep, on fait du mafé, on fait du yassa, du potopoto », énumère-t-elle. De l'autre côté de la cuisine, Fatoumata, une quinquagénaire malienne, s'occupe, elle, du dessert : « Moi, je fais les salades de fruits. Avant, je ne travaillais pas, je partais à la gare pour vendre », se rappelle-t-elle. Oumou passe l'attiéké à la vapeur. Cette quadragénaire burkinabé faisait, elle aussi, de la vente illégale de nourriture. « Je vendais le tiep à la gare. On ne part plus à la gare, maintenant », se souvient-elle. Une période révolue donc pour les Mamas de Grigny qui ne font plus de la vente à la sauvette. Depuis 2019, elles sont accompagnées par le Groupement de recherche pour le développement rural (GRDR) Migration-Citoyenneté-Développement. « Le but du GRDR, ce n'est pas de seulement de faire un accompagnement pour leur donner des locaux et les aider à cuisiner. C'est de lever les freins sociaux. Donc, ce sera à propos des questions de logement, de rémunération, mais aussi de papiers. C'est nous qui nous occupons de leur dossier et c'est vrai qu'on va essayer de valoriser leur engagement citoyen sur le territoire », détaille Raphaëlle Lebouc, chargée de mission entrepreneuriat et initiative féminine du GRDR Migration-Citoyenneté-Développement. Le projet des « Mamas de Grigny » permet à des femmes précaires de bénéficier de formations pour renforcer leur compétence en cuisine et en gestion. L'objectif de ces femmes immigrées est d'ouvrir un restaurant solidaire à Grigny, une ville de France dans laquelle une large majorité de la population vit en dessous du seuil de pauvreté.

Today's episode explores the trials of Nelson Mandela, variously charged by South Africa's apartheid state with treason, incitement, illegal foreign travel, sabotage and conspiracy across a decade that saw him more often in court than out. How did Mandela defend himself? What changed from his first trial to his last? Could any justice be found in a system of blatant oppression? And what happens when the line between lawyer, defendant and prisoner becomes impossibly blurred? The final film in our season at the Regent Street Cinema in London is coming up on Friday 19th December: a screening of David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method followed by a live recording of PPF with writer, psychoanalyst and feminist Susie Orbach.

In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Michael Collopy, one of the preeminent portrait photographers of our time — a man whose camera has revealed the inner soul of saints, world leaders, Nobel Peace laureates, and some of the most recognizable entertainers on the planet. Over 45 years, he has photographed six U.S. presidents, 37 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, and hundreds of global icons — and in the process, he has observed patterns of character, humility, ego, joy, and loneliness that very few people ever get to see up close. Michael Collopy is self-taught, yet mentored by giants like Ansel Adams and Richard Avedon. His life's work has taken him from Mother Teresa's streets of Calcutta, to Pope John Paul II in Mexico City, to Nelson Mandela, to the Rolling Stones in Paris, and everywhere in between. In this episode, you’ll discover what Michael has learned about people — about what truly distinguishes the great from the merely famous, the fulfilled from the restless, and the peacemakers from the performers.  LISTEN TO the radio broadcast live on iHeart Radio, or to “THE MENTORS RADIO” podcast any time, anywhere, on any podcast platform – subscribe here and don't miss an episode!

John talks with Walker Kimberly Brandt — actress, model, spokesperson, voiceover artist, coach, speaker, entrepreneur, author of AWAKEN: Discovering Yourself Through the Light of Your Innocence, and loving wife and mom. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Intro [03:27] - God is the greatest artist [06:58] - John and Walker's daily gratitude habit [08:52] - Walker's background [09:38] - Meaning of "Discovering Yourself Through the Light of Your Innocence" [12:07] - What is pain? [14:29] - Flip how you see pain  [16:17] - How Viktor Frankl and Nelson Mandela reframed pain [19:04] - Walker's favorite acting project: Star Trek [22:29] - "People can only be where they are" [24:14] - Walker's faith in God  [33:27] - Outro NOTABLE QUOTES: "God's understanding is greater than our own. The wisdom is beyond what we'll ever understand." "Allow yourself to be the student of life again." "If we can remember that resilience and that incredible mastery that we are, we'd be a lot more courageous, joyful, understanding, and tolerant of one another." "Pain is temporary, and pain always comes with a silver lining. There is always something to learn." "Let's introduce the possibility that your pain might be your greatest gift, even though it may take a moment to convince what you've learned and what has influenced your life that this is something you should avoid. This is something you're not avoiding. You don't even know it's mapping out your life. It has more power than your actual choices right now." "Why not just flip it (our idea of what pain means) and allow for the possibility that that pain is temporary, meaningful, and even helpful? There is something so powerful there, because it gives you an understanding of your capacity and an understanding that you're really never completely alone, because you've got you in every circumstance. We don't want pain, but sometimes it's exactly what you need if you want to get to the next level, or levels beyond your comprehension." "People can only be where they are. When you learn something, you want to bring people with you because you know it'll be better for them, but respecting that a person is where they are, offering the information, and letting them choose is really important, because it has to be a personal choice."

Wat was Dobru's rol in het streven naar Surinaamse eenheid en onafhankelijkheid? Welke betekenis heeft zijn werk vandaag de dag? Ter gelegenheid van vijftig jaar Surinaamse onafhankelijkheid gaat journalist Stuart Kensenhuis in gesprek met Surinamist en Dobru-kenner Cynthia Abrahams. De avond wordt muzikaal geopend en afgesloten door zangeres Denise Jannah.‘Een boom, zoveel bladeren; een rivier, zoveel kreken; een volk, zoveel huidskleuren en talen…' Met deze iconische woorden opent het bekendste gedicht van de Surinaamse dichter, schrijver, politicus en nationalist Dobru (Paramaribo, 1935 – 1983). Zijn poëzie wordt nog altijd geciteerd bij nationale vieringen en symboliseert zowel de hoop op eenheid als de complexe realiteit van een multiculturele samenleving.R. Dobru, pseudoniem van Robin Ewald Raveles, streed voor de erkenning van het Sranantongo, de culturele eenheid van Suriname en de dekolonisatie van geest en samenleving. Hij gaf stem aan het cultureel nationalisme en speelde een belangrijke rol in de ontwikkeling van de Surinaamse literatuur.Naast zijn werk als schrijver en dichter, was Dobru ook politiek actief. Hij vertegenwoordigde de Partij Nationalistische Republiek in het parlement en werd na de staatsgreep van Desi Bouterse in 1980 benoemd tot staatssecretaris van Cultuur.Over de sprekersCynthia Abrahams is Surinamist, letterkundige en schrijver. Ze groeide op in Paramaribo en studeerde Engelse taal en letterkunde en literatuurwetenschappen aan de Vrije Universiteit van Amsterdam, New York University en de University of Texas, Austin.

Partout sur la planète, le ballon rond suscite des vocations de joueurs, attise les convoitises et déchaîne les passions, au point d'être considéré aujourd'hui comme le sport le plus pratiqué sur la planète. Sur le continent africain, le football a également été un moyen de lutte anticoloniale au moment des indépendances tout en perpétrant son esprit festif face aux difficultés du quotidien et des conflits guerriers, comme en témoigne à notre micro l'ancien international congolais, Saïo Mokili. Apparu dans sa forme moderne dans l'Angleterre du XVIIIème siècle, le football a eu immédiatement un succès populaire qui dépasse l'entendement !!! Au point d'être rapidement considéré par l'Église et le patronat comme un instrument idéal pour combattre les vices de la jeunesse, en améliorant la condition physique des ouvriers et en calmant leurs élans contestataires. Passion contagieuse impossible à contrôler, le football est alors récupéré par le clergé et les grands patrons de la révolution industrielle pour créer les premiers grands clubs. Ce modèle s'exporte à travers le monde et plus particulièrement sur le continent africain au temps de la colonisation. Mais si le sport est un outil d'influence pour tous les États, nombre de footballeurs ont su mobiliser leur talent et leur position sociale pour soutenir la cause des luttes nationalistes et des indépendances… mais n'ont-ils pas été instrumentalisés à leur tour ? La Marche du monde vous invite à découvrir une histoire africaine du football à travers l'épopée des indépendances du Congo et de l'Algérie, au son de nos archives et de nos témoignages inédits.

Denise Jannah is zangeres. In 1995 was ze de eerste Nederlandse muzikant die een platencontract tekende bij het Amerikaanse jazzlabel ‘Blue Note'. Ze won twee Edisons. Een in 1993, voor haar plaat 'A heart full of music'. De ander nam ze zeven jaar later in ontvangst, tijdens haar zevende optreden op het North Sea Jazz Festival. Ze trad op voor onder andere prinses Beatrix, Nelson Mandela en Bill Clinton. Nu komt ze, samen met het Nederlands Blazers Ensemble, met ‘A Firi Fu Fri'. Het concert is een muzikale viering van de vijftigjarige Surinaamse onafhankelijkheid. Jannah en de Blazers nemen je mee naar het hart van Suriname, waar ritmes, melodieën en tradities samenkomen.

Brooklyn/ Botswana/Ariège x Paris/Londres/Kingston, à vos marques ! Notre 1ère invitée est l'artiste américaine Natalia M. King pour la sortie de son 8ème album Afroblues. Natalia M. King est une chanteuse, compositrice et guitariste américaine qui fusionne blues, jazz, soul et folk. Voix puissante du blues et du jazz modernes, elle captive par ses interprétations émouvantes. En 2025, elle franchit une nouvelle étape avec AfroBlues, un album mêlant pop dansante, afrobeat et sonorités blues. Son premier extrait, «Dumela», rend hommage à son voyage au Botswana, à sa terre rouge et à son peuple, capturant la beauté et la sagesse de ce lieu à travers sa musique. AfroBlues sera une fusion audacieuse des genres, réunissant les rythmes contagieux de l'afrobeat, des éléments de danse électronique et le soupçon de blues qui a défini sa carrière. Ce virage musical représente l'évolution continue de Natalia M. King en tant qu'artiste ne craignant pas d'expérimenter de nouveaux sons et styles. L'album est une exploration du rythme, de l'énergie et de la fusion culturelle, autour des thèmes de l'autonomisation, de la joie et de la résilience qui sont au cœur de l'album. Grâce à sa capacité à mélanger divers éléments musicaux, AfroBlues promet d'être un ajout unique et passionnant à sa discographie. À propos du premier single «Dumela» : Il existe un petit «Royaume-Uni» qui borde l'Afrique du Sud de Nelson Mandela. Une merveilleuse opportunité, par le biais de l'amour, m'y a transportée au printemps 2024 dans le merveilleux pays africain du Botswana. Les paysages, les odeurs et les sons m'ont rappelé des souvenirs oubliés. «Dumela», qui signifie bonjour en setswana (ou tswana), est mon hommage à cette mémoire oubliée et aux belles âmes que j'ai rencontrées là-bas. Je remercie les pluies et la terre rouge qui m'ont inspirée... Dumela Botswana ! Dumela Afrique ! Merci pour votre sagesse et nous nous reverrons. Natalia M.

Composant sous des couches de couettes dans son appartement de l'Opéra, elle puisait sa chaleur non pas dans son environnement, mais dans les souvenirs du soleil des Caraïbes qu'elle venait de quitter. Ce qui devait être un voyage de deux semaines en décembre 2020 s'est transformé en deux ans et demi entre la Barbade, la Grenade — où ses parents avaient grandi — puis la Jamaïque, un long séjour qui lui a offert un nouveau sentiment d'identité. «Vivre en Jamaïque, c'était la première fois que j'habitais dans un pays à majorité noire», dit-elle. «Les Jamaïcains sont très eux-mêmes, sans s'excuser. J'ai choisi de vivre à Paris, et je me sens plus moi-même, plus expressive et plus à l'aise ici qu'à Londres, et davantage appréciée et reconnue en tant qu'artiste aussi. Mais il y a des microagressions et des microracismes auxquels nous devons faire face chaque jour en tant que personnes de couleur. Quand je suis sortie de cet environnement, je me suis dit : «Merde, c'est ça que je gérais tout ce temps.» J'avançais simplement en acceptant certains comportements négatifs comme un acte de survie mentale.» En Jamaïque, elle a collaboré avec Sly Dunbar, l'un des batteurs légendaires de l'île, le sortant presque de sa retraite pour une session improvisée.

Nelson Mandela speaks up for the palestinian struggle in New York City Hall 1990. Hosted by Ted Koppel. Here, Nelson Mandela speaks truth to power and highlights the nature of true socialist internationalism and solidarity.

This week we explore the power behind the power - the hidden figures quietly pulling the strings in the rooms where world leaders make history (but don't call them puppeteers though… they don't love that). This week, I'm joined by Phoebe Saintalin Stocks, founder of Missing Perspectives and author of the brilliant new book The Right Hand. What makes this book so extraordinary is that Phoebe sat down with the real chiefs of staff to some of the most influential leaders on the planet - from Jacinda Ardern, Kamala Harris and John Howard to Nelson Mandela, Tony Blair and Julia Gillard. In our chat, Phoebe opens up about her own career journey and how she learned just how human our world leaders really are. Perfect content for our fellow political nerds… or if you peaked early as your Primary School Vice Captain.

In this Singapore Exclusive Interview, “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen welcomes Harry Enfield, the influential English comedian, actor, writer, and director, ahead of his anticipated show, "Harry Enfield and No Chums," at Singapore's Capitol Theater on November 24th. Enfield, known for iconic characters like "Loadsamoney" and "Kevin the Teenager", shares why he was previously "terrified" to visit Singapore after seeing an old short-hair poster. Enfield discusses his retrospective show, which promises to feature beloved characters like Loadsamoney and Stavros, as well as an up-to-date take on Prince Charles/The King, whom he played in *The Windsors*. He reflects on his career, noting that Loadsamoney is "richer than ever" today, and reveals that Kevin the Teenager remains hugely popular, even inspiring tribute acts. The comedy icon also touches on modern political humor, arguing that he aims for mischief, "not malice". He shares embarrassing moments, including a time he mentioned Nelson Mandela’s "Willie" shortly after the latter's release from prison. Enfield also reveals a personal Singapore connection: his great uncle, Major Bennett, was a doctor and a prisoner of war here.

We're back! After a short pause to rebuild Conversations That Grow with more intention, this episode sets the tone for everything ahead.In this deeply reflective conversation, David Lapin shares:The pivotal conversation he had with Nelson MandelaThe surprising insight that dignity is something you giveWhat your “Spiritual Fingerprint” is—and why it matters more than personality testsHow to lead without losing your identityWhy curiosity and humility are the secret ingredients to meaningful dialogue

In a world where the concept of freedom often seems tied to physical circumstances, the story of Nelson Mandela serves as a powerful reminder that true freedom begins within our minds. In today's episode we delve into the profound lessons that can be learned from Mandela's extraordinary life and his time behind bars. Mandela's imprisonment was not merely a period of confinement; it was a transformative journey that shaped him into one of the most revered leaders in history. He faced the daunting challenge of maintaining his dignity and sense of self-worth in an environment designed to break him. Instead of succumbing to bitterness and resentment, Mandela chose a path of understanding and peace.  Throughout his years in prison, Mandela engaged in self-reflection and personal growth. He understood that to lead effectively, he first needed to cultivate peace within himself. This inner freedom allowed him to transcend his physical limitations and emerge as a beacon of hope for millions. Lori continues to share wisdom from historical icons that you do not want to miss!

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Sacred land, contested memory, and a centuries-long fight for sovereignty, this conversation with Dr. Garrey Dennie traces the deep antiquity of the Kalinago in St. Vincent, their transformation into a maritime powerhouse, and the strategic choices that delayed European domination for generations. Instead of a single “first contact,” we explore two: the catastrophic arrival of Europeans and the liberatory meeting of Kalinago communities with Africans who escaped or were freed from bondage.Dr. Dennie unpacks genocide as a 300-year process, where pathogens, forced labor, and scorched-earth campaigns worked in tandem to clear land for sugar and slavery. He explains how the union that produced the Garifuna did more than build solidarity; it created a hybrid identity with immunological resilience that helped communities survive. From the First and Second Carib Wars to the brutal detention on Baliceaux and the mass exile of 1797, we follow the pivotal moments that transformed St. Vincent and, paradoxically, shortened its time as a British slave society through relentless resistance.We also step inside a landmark scholarly effort: the forthcoming multi-volume Native Genocide and African Enslavement in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. He is one of four Vincentian historians co-authoring the series that restores Indigenous and Garifuna perspectives to the center, bridges archaeology and epidemiology with political history, and invites listeners to reconsider where homeland and belonging truly reside. If you're ready to move beyond textbook myths and confront the intertwined stories of survival, identity, and power, this episode offers a clear, compelling path forward.Dr. Garrey Dennie is an Associate Professor of History at St. Mary's College of Maryland and a founder of its Program in African and African Diaspora Studies.  He obtained his first degree at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill and his Ph. D at The Johns Hopkins University.  Dr. Dennie has also lectured at the University of the West Indies at the Mona campus in Jamaica.  Dr. Dennie has produced and published original scholarship on the politics of death in modern South Africa. And in the greatest privilege of his life, Dr. Dennie served as a speechwriter for Nelson Mandela in the battle to destroy white rule in apartheid South Africa.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

Dominic delivers powerful takes on high-stakes politics, focusing urgently on the impending government shutdown that threatens to end SNAP food stamp benefits and halt paychecks for air traffic controllers. In the critical final six days of the New York City mayoral race, Dominic launches a furious takedown of candidate Zohran Mamdani, whom he labels a "con man," "clown," and "charlatan". Dominic vehemently rejects the comparison of Mamdani to civil rights icon Jackie Robinson—a comparison which he finds "scare[s] everyone to death"—and insists that Mamdani is "no Nelson Mandela". Dominic also addresses the candidate's strong anti-Israel positions, anti-Semitic views, and "free, free, free" socialist platform. Finally, Dominic issues a direct, controversial plea to his friend, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, urging him to suspend his campaign immediately to avoid a historic loss and become a political "hero," living to fight another day.

Tyler considers Winnie and Nelson: Portrait of a Marriage one of the best books of the last decade, and its author Jonny Steinberg one of the most underrated writers and thinkers—in North America, at least. Steinberg's particular genius lies in getting uncomfortably close to difficult truths through immersive research—spending 350 hours in police ride-alongs, years studying prison gangs and their century-old oral histories, following a Somali refugee's journey across East Africa—and then rendering what he finds with a novelist's emotional insight. Tyler and Jonny discuss why South African police only feel comfortable responding to domestic violence calls, how to fix policing, the ghettoization of crime, how prison gangs regulate behavior through century-old rituals, how apartheid led to mass incarceration and how it manifested in prisons, why Nelson Mandela never really knew his wife Winnie and the many masks they each wore, what went wrong with the ANC, why the judiciary maintained its independence but not its quality, whether Tyler should buy land in Durban, the art scene in Johannesburg, how COVID gave statism a new lease on life, why the best South African novels may still be ahead, his forthcoming biography of Cecil Rhodes, why English families weren't foolish to move to Rhodesia in the 1920s, where to take an ideal two-week trip around South Africa, and more.

October 12, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class   In this episode the hosts pick up a topical study of the Gospel of John, following Phil's opening sessions. The class leaders explore the central theme of Jesus' humility as recorded in John, weaving scripture, historical examples, personal stories, and practical application together to help listeners see humility as a strength, not a weakness. The discussion opens with definitions and helpful analogies — from Merriam-Webster's simple definition to Gavin Ortlund's reflections in Humility: The Joy of Self-Forgetfulness, and quotes by C.S. Lewis and Tim Keller — and a few personal reflections (flying over the Yukon, mountain vistas) to illustrate humility as awe and perspective. The episode surveys humility in both secular and biblical examples (Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela; Moses, Job, John the Baptist, Paul) and then turns to the Gospel of John to trace humility from the incarnation to the cross. Key passages examined include John 1:1–14 (the Word becoming flesh, Jesus' humble birth in a manger and the shepherds' witness), John 13 (the washing of the disciples' feet as servant leadership), John 4 (Jesus' patient, barrier-breaking conversation with the Samaritan woman), and John 10:11–18 (the good shepherd who lays down his life). The hosts highlight Jesus' humility in action: submission to the Father, service to the marginalized, willingness to be misunderstood, and ultimate self-emptying in death. They contrast worldly leadership with Jesus' model and use anecdotes (e.g., the shepherds of the East who lead rather than push) to bring biblical truth into modern perspective. The episode ends with tangible application: serve without seeking recognition; listen more and speak less; admit mistakes and seek forgiveness; prioritize others' needs; pray with dependence, not pride; avoid judging and comparing; accept lowly tasks willingly; remain teachable; forgive quickly; and live for God's glory rather than your own. The closing thought recalls C.S. Lewis — humility doesn't mean thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less — and invites listeners to let Jesus' example shape their daily lives.   Duration 42:51

Naïveté ? Indifférence crasse ? Mauvaise foi ? Dissonance cognitive ? Déni ? Hallucination totale ? Dans son livre, Vivre, libre, l'autrice française noire Amandine Gay interroge la prodigieuse faculté des personnes blanches de son entourage à s'aveugler. Comment peuvent-elles ignorer si royalement les situations pourtant innombrables où se niche le racisme ? Où ont-elles appris à faire comme si tout allait bien dans le meilleur des mondes possibles ? Et comment vivre avec cette sensation permanente de décalage, l'impression d'être entouré de gens qui disent vous aimer sincèrement mais passent complètement à côté de ce que vous vivez tous les jours ? Dans cet épisode, Amandine Gay raconte sa découverte du philosophe Charles Mills (1951-2021) qui a décortiqué ce qu'il appelle « l'ignorance blanche », les différents mécanismes cognitifs qui permettent aux blancs de ne pas voir la domination raciale dont ils bénéficient. Au côté de la chercheuse Maboula Soumahoro, Amandine Gay éclaire le côté obscur de la blanchité.Avec :- Amandine Gay- Maboula SoumahoroBibliographie : - Vivre, libre d'Amandine Gay, Ed.

Congratulations are not usually in order for someone who has been forced into hiding, someone whose children are scattered across continents for their safety, someone whose supporters are sitting in prison cells for the crime of believing in democracy.  But our guest today, María Corina Machado, just won the Nobel Peace Prize—joining the ranks of Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Dalai Lama, to name a few.  On Friday, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded their 2025 Peace Price to the Venezuelan opposition leader for her tireless work “promoting democratic rights,” describing her as “a woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.” She is Venezuela's first-ever Nobel Peace Prize winner.  Machado's story, as Jonathan Jakubowicz wrote in The Free Press, “is a political thriller come to life. A 58-year old industrial engineer and former member of parliament, she spent two decades as the most relentless opponent of Hugo Chávez and his successor, Nicolás Maduro.” That thriller came to a head on July 28, 2024, when Edmundo González, Machado's stand-in candidate, swept Venezuela's elections with over 90 percent of the vote. But Maduro, Venezuela's longtime dictator, claimed victory anyway and seized power. Since then, Machado has been living in hiding, her location undisclosed even to most of her allies, as the regime has arrested hundreds of political prisoners and issued a warrant for her arrest.  Machado has been nicknamed Venezuela's “Iron Lady,” the same moniker given to Margaret Thatcher, who happens to be her personal hero. She represents what may be the most significant challenge to authoritarian socialism in Latin America, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her here today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Free speech defenders are losing ground as government pressure mounts. Legal expert Greg Lukianoff reveals why the Kimmel case should terrify everyone.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1216What We Discuss with Greg Lukianoff:The Trump administration used FCC licensing threats and merger approval leverage to force ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel — a form of "jawboning" where government coerces private entities to censor speech the government itself cannot legally punish.Historically, free speech has been the primary tool for minorities and marginalized groups. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Frederick Douglass, and Gandhi all relied on free speech to challenge the majority and the powerful.Hate speech laws don't change minds — they drive people into echo chambers where they radicalize further. When people can only discuss controversial views with those who already agree, extremism intensifies rather than diminishes.Over one-third of college students believe violence can be acceptable in response to speech. Two-thirds support shouting down speakers, representing mob censorship that undermines the marketplace of ideas and threatens intellectual discourse.Practice intellectual courage. When encountering disagreeable speech, engage rather than silence. Ask yourself: "Am I safer knowing less about what people think?" The answer is no — open dialogue reveals problems early, strengthens your arguments, and builds a healthier society.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
