Hey Rainmakers! Stephen and Chelsey here, and we just returned from an extraordinary experience that we can't wait to share with you! We spent three transformative days with John Maxwell, one of the world's foremost leadership experts, and we're here to pass on some life-changing leadership lessons that we learned from him and other visionaries during our journey. Our trip included behind-the-scenes visits with influential leaders at Chick-fil-A, Tyler Perry Studios, and a special session with Bernice King, the daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This wasn't just a learning experience; it was a deep dive into the power of visionary leadership and the impact it can have not just on businesses, but on personal growth and community building. One of the most profound takeaways was seeing how these leaders live out their values in real time. From John Maxwell's personal interactions that exemplified his leadership principles to the culture of service evident at Chick-fil-A, every moment was a lesson in leadership integrity. Join us as we share stories and insights from our time with John Maxwell, exploring the essence of true leadership—how it's not about commanding, but inspiring; not about being in charge, but about elevating others. We'll dive into the principles that make great leaders and how you can apply them in every area of your life, from business to personal relationships.

Dexter Scott King, the son of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, passed away at 62. Dexter succumbed to prostate cancer, leaving a profound impact on those that he touched. He was named after the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, and carried the weight of his father's legacy at a young age. He was just seven when his father was assassinated. Overcoming personal grief, he became a force in preserving his father's teaching and ideals and played a role as Chairman of the King Center and President of the King Estate.

Listen, Laugh, and Learn with The Amanda Seales Show FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER: (03:50) - Ohio's Republican secretary of state quietly canceled the voter registrations of more than 26,000 voters in late September. Suspicious, as this happened less than two weeks before the deadline to register to vote in next week's hotly contested abortion referendum in the state. It's unusual to remove voter registrations this close to an election given the risk of disenfranchising people who intend to vote but simply missed the memo that they had been flagged for removal. (08:08) - After comedian Amy Schumer posted a video featuring clips of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speaking in support of Israel and denouncing antisemitism, his daughter Bernice King felt compelled to clarify what her father's stance would be on the war between Israel and Hamas.

(20:02) - The U.S. infant mortality rate rose 3%, with 20,538 deaths recorded in 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published Wednesday. There were increases among all ethnicity groups except for the infants of Asian women. Deaths among infants of Black women remained the highest of all the groups, with almost twice the U.S. average.

It's another EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Blair LM Kelley, director of The Center for the Study of the American South at the University of North Carolina, to discuss her recent book Black Folk: The Roots of the Black Working Class. First, Emma runs through updates on Biden's call for a humanitarian pause in Gaza, Dick Durbin's call for a ceasefire, the death toll in Gaza, the split between House and Senate GOP, the failure of both censure votes in the House, Oregon's teachers strike, and legal battles involving Trump and trans rights, before parsing through Lindsay Graham's despicable response to Israel's bombing of Palestinians civilians. Blair LM Kelley then joins, jumping right into the absurd presentation of the working class in US politics, with a consistent focus on rural and suburban white populations despite the long and intricate history of a Black and POC working class in the US. First, Kelley steps back and parses through her own family's history as members of the Black working class in the US, exploring how they were barred from working the jobs that they were skilled in or that allowed them any economic or social freedom – a practice deeply embedded in the US' history well after the Civil War – before stepping back to analyze how this systemic deskilling of African Americans alongside the social segregation worked to shape the stereotypes of Black Americans as dependent on the government, despite the constant reality of Black Americans paying the same taxes and receiving drastically fewer benefits. Skipping a couple of centuries forward, Kelley then walks Emma through the role of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the designation of “essential” workers, in bringing the problem of proper compensation and fair working conditions for Black and POC Americans back to the fore. Next, Kelley looks at the industry of domestic labor as a central institution in the stunting of labor rights and conditions for Black and POC Americans – particularly women – before wrapping up with the myth of the “Working Class Trump Voter” and the intense intersection between labor and citizenship in the topic at hand. Emma also touches on the recent raid of a top Eric Adams fundraiser by the FBI and NYPD. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they parse Bernice King's response to Amy Schumer's use of MLK to justify the bombing of Gaza, and watch Ilan Pappe examine the long history of Israeli propaganda attempting to instil fear in Jews everywhere. Phillip from St. Louis gives some updates on the ongoing pharmacist strikes, and Will from Virginia discusses Israel's role as a specifically European settler colonial project, as exemplified by Israel's oppression of various non-zionist Jewish communities. Tim Pool looks stupid and knows nothing, and Rand Paul takes a stand on Gaza further to the left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, plus, your calls and IMs!

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the defendant identified at the Fulton County jail as P01135809. This is the real Donald John Trump. Being booked with a mug shot on charges of alleged election interference in Georgia may be the worst humiliation of Donald Trump's life. Meanwhile, the usual supporters are rushing to Trump's defense, vowing to investigate the investigators, and threatening civil war. Plus, Dr. Bernice King joins us, as we mark 60 years since the March on Washington, on leading conservatives' misappropriation of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s words from her father's "I Have a Dream" speech. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Nika: There are a lot of areas where I feel like I am skilled that relate to my profession, but one that is not spoken of as often, which I do very much consider to be a superpower, is my ability to hold the middle, to appreciate the nuance, to be that bridge builder.In a historic ruling In June, the Supreme Court decided that college admissions could not be guided by affirmative action. The ruling has left corporate professionals engaged in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) anxious.Dr. Nika White, author of Inclusion Uncomplicated: A Transformative Guide to Simplify DEI, joined me to talk about the implications of the ruling.“Don't panic,” she says to those who work in corporate DEI and human resources. “Nika: this is a time for organizations to realign and reassess their why. Why did they, in the first place, have such a deepened commitment to DEI?”“This is time for leadership, in particular, to show that leadership,” Nika says. “Equity and inclusion is all about leadership and not finding this news as a crutch or an excuse or a reason to abandon the work.”She also explained the broad appeal of her new book, Inclusion Uncomplicated.”Nika: this is a book that helps everyone, regardless of your position, your title, where you are within your journey of deepening your understanding of DEI, to really think about, ‘What is my role now, and what type of influence do I have within the circles that I belong to; where I can take a more active part, a more intentional part of fostering equity and inclusion?”AI Episode Summary* Devin and Nika discuss the recent Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action and its impact on academia and corporate environments.* The ruling currently only applies to higher learning institutions but could potentially affect corporate environments in the future.* Nika advises organizations to remain committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) values despite the ruling.* She recommends organizations realign their DEI strategies and have open conversations about the impact of the ruling.* Leadership should show support for DEI initiatives and not use the ruling as an excuse to abandon the work.* Nika is the author of "Inclusion Uncomplicated: A Transformative Guide to Simplify DEI," which helps individuals understand their role in fostering equity and inclusion.* She believes that resistance to DEI often stems from a lack of clarity and suggests demystifying the complexity of DEI to engage more people.* Nika emphasizes the importance of listening and asking thoughtful questions to facilitate conversations about DEI.* She advises individuals to hold the middle, appreciate nuance, and bridge divides to foster understanding and acceptance.* Nika's superpower is her ability to hold the middle, bridge gaps, and appreciate both sides to address divisions within society and organizations.* She suggests developing curiosity, active listening skills, tolerance for difference, and deliberate intention to improve listening abilities.How to Develop Holding the Middle Ground As a SuperpowerNika's career highlights her ability to hold the middle ground, allowing people of differing opinions to see each other more fully and respectfully. She shared an anecdote that illustrates this especially well.I remember this was years ago. I am based in Greenville, South Carolina. And Greenville County was the last county in the nation to recognize MLK, Dr. King [Day] as an official holiday. That news left a stain on Greenville. And there were a lot of protests, a lot of division. Finally, once the holiday was passed, they needed a lot of healing. So, I would say that the “both-and” was being a convener of different individuals within the community, different leaders and influencers, and just giving space for people to express their frustration, to express their dismay, but then also to turn that into, say, “How can we now let this work for our good?”When I think about the outcome that I'm really proud of, we went on–a group of us–served as founders of what became known as MLK Dream Weekend for ten years. We curated these special events and different types of initiatives in honor of Dr. King's legacy. One of those initiatives was a diversity banquet.The very first year after the holiday was passed, we convened hundreds of people for this banquet and this celebration. We were fortunate enough to be able to get the attention of Dr. Bernice King to come and be our keynote speaker.The reason that I reflect on that is when you think about MLK weekend–where the children, the voice, the legacy of Dr. King could be anywhere delivering any type of message–that Dr. Bernice King saw fit to come to Greenville and to share a message with us. And that message was “the last shall be first.”When I think about holding the middle, and the “both-and,” we could have waddled in that disappointment; we could have let that define us. We could have just not taken the initiative to really try to see the other side of it–the “both-and.” That is something that I'm proud to say that I was a part of is bringing that level of healing through these specially curated events in honor of Dr. King.After sharing that powerful example of holding the middle and its impact, she offered a few tips for developing that superpower.First, she encouraged viewers to foster their curiosity, attributing her ability to hold the middle, in part, to her curiosity. “Asking questions is a great way to learn and to form a perspective–not judgment.”Second, she encouraged the audience to practice accepting what people say. “Acceptance doesn't always mean agreement,” she says. It simply means acknowledging that others hold a different perspective or opinion.Finally, she encourages everyone to listen with intention. Focus on listening to “respond” rather than “react.”By following her example and advice, you can strengthen your ability to hold the middle, potentially making it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest-Provided ProfileDr. Nika White (she/her):Dr. Nika White, founder, CEO of Nika White Consulting and author of Inclusion Uncomplicated.About Nika White Consulting: Nika White Consulting is a diversity, equity, and inclusion boutique consulting firm with recognized authority on strategic diversity, intentional inclusion, and organizational effectiveness.Website: www.Nikawhite.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/nikacwhiteBiographical Information: Dr. Nika White, the author of Inclusion Uncomplicated: A Transformative Guide to Simplify DEI, is president and CEO of Nika White Consulting (www.nikawhite.com).
