Kathryn Stockett's The Help captivated millions of readers and brought national attention to the complex relationships between Black housekeepers and their White employers during the Civil Rights era in Mississippi. It also became an Academy Award winning film just two years later, with Kathryn's friend Octavia Spencer winning for Best Supporting Actress. Now, 17 years later, she's back with her long-awaited second novel, The Calamity Club. Set in 1933 in Oxford, Mississippi, it follows a group of resourceful women with a “terrible, awful but very profitable idea” to make enough money to survive during the Great Depression. In true Stockett form, it's full of memorable characters, hilarious scenes, and plenty of heartbreak. Sid talks to Kathryn about how her mother's struggles as a divorced woman in the 1970s inspired her new book, why some characters came more easily than others, and how she sees her job as a Southern woman.

The success of coffee globally is based on what coffee represents...community. A beverage that facilitates rootedness, growth, and fruiting of relationships through shared conversation over a cup in our shops or your home. But today, we are an industry. And our concerns tend to be exclusively around just the business of specialty coffee. Where is the heart?  Today I am honored and excited to present an interview with someone who is actively and tenaciously pursuing the heart of coffee in her community by honoring coffees root and growing the fruit of what it can bring to people. We are talking with Head Roaster, Co-founder, and Chief of Staff for Cxffee Black, Renata Henderson! Renata Henderson is Memphis, Tennessee's first Black female roaster and the co-founder and Chief of Staff of Cxffeeblack, the community-oriented, education-based coffee company she built alongside her husband Bartholomew Jones. Founded in 2019 on a mission to return coffee to its African roots and build an equitable Black future, Cxffeeblack made history by creating the first entirely all-Black coffee supply chain from Ethiopia to Memphis — with direct-trade relationships extending to producers like Stephen and Margaret Kuria of Liwani Estate in Nakuru, Kenya. She serves as Head Roaster, Creative Director, and HR lead, Renata brings her deep background in curriculum, instruction, and education into every dimension of Cxffeeblack, from its Specialist-in-Training internship program to the Barista Exchange Program. Her connection to coffee is deeply ancestral — rooted in Ethiopian women's 2,000-year roasting tradition and a family legacy that includes her grandfather marching alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers' strike, canteen of coffee in hand. Under Renata and Bartholomew's leadership, Cxffeeblack has earned the 2023 Sprudgie Award for Best Film in Coffee, the 2024 Sprudgie Award for Global Notable Roaster of the Year, and the inaugural 2024 Coffee Coalition for Racial Equity Innovator of the Year award. Built with support from more than 500 community investors, Cxffeeblack's new flagship café and global roasting headquarters opened in December 2025 at 3386 Bowen Avenue in Memphis's Mitchell Heights neighborhood — celebrated with an East African coffee ceremony, live music, and a community brunch — and is now equipped with a new roaster tripling the company's capacity as it expands into Memphis grocery stores and new café partnerships across the city. Cxffeeblack has been featured in Vice, NPR, The Hill, and Black Enterprise, and has collaborated with Miir, Oatley, La Marzocco, NBA player JaeShawn Tate, and West African coffee entrepreneurs at the Black Star Line Festival. For Renata, coffee has always been more than a beverage — it is, as she says "an open air church to experience God and His goodness." We discuss: Her Grandfather's coffee and community justice that inspired her Connecting with Coffee's Origin through Cxffeeblack How Cxffeeblack Is Redefining Coffee with Heart and Justice Living Among the People They Serve in Memphis The hard part and the joyful part of coffee work from the heart Navigating Authenticity and Business Guidelines Celebrating Individuality in Coffee Spaces Personal Growth and Community Impact Links: https://www.instagram.com/cxffeeblack/ https://cxffeeblack.com/   KEYS TO THE SHOP ALSO OFFERS 1:1 CONSULTING AND COACHING!

Political analyst Roland Martin breaks down a Supreme Court ruling that significantly weakens the Voting Rights Act, warning that the decision could slash Black representation in Congress and reshape elections across the South. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicks off with major breaking news as Spirit Airlines abruptly shuts down operations after bankruptcy talks collapsed, grounding flights nationwide and leaving thousands of passengers scrambling for refunds or alternative travel. Industry experts point to soaring fuel costs and a failed federal bailout as the final blow for the budget airline, making it one of the largest airline shutdowns in years. As if travel chaos wasn’t enough, drivers across the country are also feeling the sting at the pump, with the national average price for a gallon of gas climbing above $4.40—its highest level in several years—driven by global oil disruptions and rising demand, according to AAA and GasBuddy. The show also dives into celebrity and political headlines shaking up social media and Washington alike. Conversation heats up around Megan Thee Stallion and NBA star Klay Thompson following reports that Megan may be exploring legal action related to emotional distress after their highly publicized breakup, which stemmed from allegations of infidelity. Meanwhile, political analyst Roland Martin breaks down a Supreme Court ruling that significantly weakens the Voting Rights Act, warning that the decision could slash Black representation in Congress and reshape elections across the South. With redistricting battles looming and voter protections under threat, the episode underscores why upcoming elections—and civic engagement—carry higher stakes than ever.

In his majority opinion, Justice Samuel Alito argued that Louisiana illegally used race to create a second Black-majority district. In her dissent, Justice Elena Kagan wrote “the court's decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity.” Illinois Governor JB Pritzker called the decision “voter suppression that will silence Black and brown voters.” The NAACP called it a “devastating blow” to the Voting Rights Act. In the Loop discusses the potential local and national impact of the decision with today's panel: Stevie Valles, executive director, Chicago Votes; Karen Freeman-Wilson, president and CEO, Chicago Urban League; Chika Okafor, assistant professor of law, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, it's just Chad and Haley — the Lib Sibs holding it down. Mom and Dad are both out this week while Bob deals with some health issues. Love you, Dad. Get better soon. ❤️⚖️ Trump had James Comey indicted AGAIN — this time over an Instagram photo of seashells spelling "86 47" on a beach. The first indictment was already tossed by a judge. Acting AG Todd Blanche said they won't prosecute everyone who posts "86/47" — just Comey. We ask: is this anything other than political persecution?

When I was in grade school, I opened a pack of bubblegum that had science facts inside. I never forgot reading that “a teaspoon of a black hole could weigh tons.” That idea stuck with me. Black holes were once just a strange idea on paper, but today we know they sit at the center of nearly every large galaxy, including our own. In this episode, we explore how something invisible can shape entire galaxies, and how scientists have managed to detect black holes without ever seeing them directly. Martin breaks down Einstein's ideas on gravity, how collapsing stars create black holes, and what it really means when one is millions of times the mass of our Sun. You'll also hear just how extreme these objects are, with densities so intense that a teaspoon of similar material could weigh billions of tons. From exploding stars to gravitational waves, this is a clear and fascinating look at one of the most mysterious forces in the universe.I hope you enjoy this,MartinCONTACT AND SUPPORT

This week, Lex P and Drea Nicole are back solo and cutting up per usual. From childhood memories of saying “salutations” to getting lit in Houston, the girls recap their weekend, talk tour energy, and get into the chaos that happens when the whole city shows up. They also dive into internet culture—breaking down viral trends like “you the birthday,” the generational gap in humor, and how fast Black slang gets taken, flipped, and forgotten. Plus, a real conversation about giving credit where it’s due and whether viral creators deserve to get paid for the culture they start. Later, they sit down with their girl Helen of Alcove Aesthetics for a Business Spotlight, getting into all things skincare, injectables, and why finding a licensed, knowledgeable provider matters. Helen breaks down the difference between trendy treatments and real results, and how to keep your look natural while still doing what works for you. Of course, it wouldn’t be Pour Minds without a little randomness—grills, bad breath, crawfish etiquette, and why some trends just aren’t meant for everybody. Pour up—this one feels like being on the couch with your homegirls.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Alicia Lyttle. SUMMARY OF THE ALICIA LYTTLE INTERVIEW From “Money Making Conversations Master Class” with Rushion McDonald [ 1. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview was to: Showcase Alicia Lyttle, CEO and co‑founder of Air Innovations, known widely as the “Queen of AI.” [ Educate small business owners, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits on how to leverage AI for growth. Highlight her mission to empower the African American community to not only keep up with AI—but lead in it. [ Demonstrate how AI tools can transform operations, content creation, finances, and productivity in minutes instead of months. Inspire listeners through her entrepreneurial journey, professional pivots, and personal resilience. 2. High-Level Summary Alicia Lyttle returns to the show two years after her last appearance, now positioned at the forefront of the global AI movement. She explains how her work has shifted from annual summits to monthly AI Business Summits, teaching tens of thousands of entrepreneurs how to use AI hands‑on for content, marketing, operations, and scaling. She breaks down how simple tools—such as NotebookLM, ChatGPT, Jasper, Gemini, and HeyGen—can turn a single piece of content into newsletters, PowerPoints, videos, study guides, and more. She stresses that AI is now accessible, especially with free versions like ChatGPT. Alicia also shares her origin story in AI, beginning with a 15‑year‑old speaker at Walmart Tech Live describing IBM Watson. This sparked her fascination and ultimately led her to pivot her entire company toward full-time AI training and consulting by 2022—despite skepticism from her peers. She details the massive growth of her brand, including 21,000+ live summit attendees and explosive social media expansion. The interview also addresses AI’s role in finance, healthcare, government, job disruption, and how individuals can future‑proof themselves. Her personal story of overcoming a restrictive ex-husband who told her she would “never speak again” underscores her powerful message: no one should silence your gifts. Now she speaks to thousands, leads major events, and helps others build new careers in AI. 3. Key Takeaways A. AI Is Evolving Fast—and So Must We AI is changing so quickly that entrepreneurs cannot afford to wait for annual updates. This is why Alicia shifted to monthly training summits. People need ongoing education to stay competitive. B. Hands‑On AI Education Is the Key Alicia doesn’t just lecture—she walks participants through real demonstrations: Uploading YouTube links Creating summaries Generating emails, mind maps, PowerPoints, quizzes, videos, and more…all from a single input. Her approach eliminates fear and teaches entrepreneurs how to use AI immediately. C. Accessibility Has Changed the Game The release of ChatGPT, especially the free version, democratized AI. Before that, tools like IBM Watson were too complex and expensive. Now anyone with a laptop and internet connection can build websites, write content, or automate business flows in minutes. [ D. The African American Community Must Lead—Not Follow Alicia emphasizes that historically, Black communities have been “last in line” in tech innovation, but this AI era presents a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to jump ahead.She sees it as her mission to speak everywhere Black entrepreneurs are to ensure they seize this moment. E. AI Will Replace Tasks—But People Can Future‑Proof Themselves Jobs are already shifting. Companies are laying off non–AI‑literate employees.Alicia urges people to: Become AI‑fluent Join AI committees at work Pursue certification Use AI to become their company’s internal expert “There’s no maybe—you have to learn AI,” she warns. F. AI is Transforming Every Sector: Finance, Healthcare, Government She provides insights on… AI receptionists (“Monica” and “Leslie”) that boost customer interaction to 92% Financial analysis using secure ChatGPT setups AI mental health companions Government calls for national AI leadership G. Alicia Monetizes Through Education, Certification & Consulting Her business model includes: Free monthly summits Paid masterclasses Corporate consulting AI certifications Live Atlanta workshops She teaches others to become AI consultants too. H. Her Personal Triumph Story Inspires Thousands A powerful moment is when she recounts her ex-husband saying: “There’s only one quarterback on a team—and you will never speak again.”Yet today, 1,200+ people attend her live events, and tens of thousands join her virtual trainings. Her success proves resilience and purpose overcome adversity. 4. Key Quotes On AI Opportunity “Never has there been a better time in history to start, build, or scale a business than right now.” On Training Entrepreneurs “Open your laptops… use the same prompt I use. See what results you get.” On the Power of AI Tools “You can take one episode and repurpose it into all these different content ways.” On Pivoting Her Entire Company “In 2022, I said we’re closing this business and going all in on AI.” On Being Black in Tech “My mission is to make sure our community is not left behind—but ahead of the curve.” On Personal Resilience “You will be speaking on the best stages… people will come to see you.”(A friend’s response after she was told she’d “never speak again.”) On Future-Proofing Careers “Those using AI will replace you. You have to learn how to leverage AI.” On AI as a Human-First Technology “AI plus human intelligence—that’s what takes things to the next level.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A rental house in Gary, Indiana. Black flies in the dead of winter. Children behaving... strangely. A boy allegedly walking backward up a hospital wall. Police reports. Child Protective Services removing the kids. A Catholic priest performing blessings. And eventually, Zak Bagans buying the house, investigating it, and bulldozing it into history.Join us as we dive headfirst into the infamous Ammons Haunting, better known as the Demon House. Was this a genuine case of demonic infestation escalating toward possession, or a perfect storm of fear, family stress, bad plumbing, and media chaos?

Why Black Women Are Choosing Themselves - The era of putting everyone else first is over. In this episode, we're talking about why more Black women are boldly choosing themselves — their peace, their joy, their healing.

This week on The Sidebar Podcast, Leise Winny and Royce move through culture, politics, and identity with their signature mix of humor and real talk — all from a Black millennial POV that doesn't shy away from uncomfortable questions.Leise opens the show with a wide-ranging check-in that jumps from war updates to sports and entertainment. From the NFL Draft, to LeBron and the Lakers, to ongoing conversations around Stefon Diggs, the episode blends headlines with hot takes. Leise leads a powerful and layered segment on Black women and the “ride or die” myth, unpacking the pressure to stay loyal at all costs — even when it becomes dangerous. That naturally opens the door to one of the most complex cultural debates: the N-word. Who can say it? Should it still be used at all? And how has Gen Z reshaped its meaning — from something rooted in history to something that's often used casually or performatively?Royce brings his perspective into the mix, pushing the conversation toward how culture, perception, and personal responsibility collide in real time.The final major segment tackles a conversation that continues to spark debate: Black people and conservative views. Using recent backlash toward KevOnStage as a jumping-off point, the hosts explore how political and social beliefs are policed within the community — and what happens when someone steps outside expected norms, especially around topics like sexuality and identity.The episode closes with a recap and final reflections that tie everything together — culture, accountability, identity, and the constant negotiation between personal belief and public expectation.

In this episode of The Context of White Supremacy, we dive deep into the sobering realities of workplace safety and professional conduct. We open with an honest update on recent incidents of workplace violence involving black workers, specifically examining the tragic case of Chauncia Meekins in Missouri—a Steak 'n Shake employee whose life was cut short following a senseless onion ring dispute. We also analyze the recent shooting at a Florida Taco Bell, where a 20-year-old black male was arrested after a disagreement over a soda refill escalated into gunfire. Beyond the headlines, we tackle the complex dynamics of workplace management. How do you lead effectively when faced with defiance or Racist opposition? Gus T. and the chatbot break down tactical advice for two specific scenarios: 1) Supervising Defiant Non-White Workers: How to maintain order and productivity without compromising professional standards. 2) Managing Irascible White Employees: Addressing the unique challenge of subordinates who use racially charged tropes—like accusing Black supervisors of being "uppity" or "disrespectful"—to undermine authority. Counter-Racist Suggestions: Gus T. emphasizes that the most powerful tools in a manager's arsenal are thorough documentation and the presence of credible witnesses. Whether you are neutralizing a conduct issue or defending your professional reputation, these tactics are essential for maintaining a safe and productive environment. #ManagingARacistWhiteMan #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – [http://paypal.me/TheCOWS](http://paypal.me/TheCOWS) Cash App: [https://cash.app/$TheCOWS](https://cash.app/$TheCOWS) CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court struck down a 2024 Louisiana district map that created a second majority-Black voting district for use in future elections. In a 6-3 decision, the Court found that the Voting Rights Act did not authorize states the ability to create majority-minority voting districts. The ruling didn't overturn Section Two of the Voting Rights Act, but in the dissent, Justice Elena Kagan argued that it had done so in all but deed. Leah Litman, host of Crooked Media's legal podcast Strict Scrutiny, joins the show to tell us what this means for the future of Black voters, redistricting, the midterms, and America.And in headlines, the House Armed Services Committee grills Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over his handling of the war with Iran, Jerome Powell isn't backing down in his feud with Trump, and a Japanese airport tries out baggage handling humanoid robots.Show Notes: Check out Strict Scrutiny – https://tinyurl.com/7dfbhmc5 Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Over the past few weeks, there have been multiple high-profile incidents of Black men committing acts of violence against their loved ones, from a man in Shreveport killing his children, to the former Lieutenant Governor of Virginia killing himself and his wife. On this episode, we're asking: What does this violence have to do with patriarchy? What does it have to do with mental health? What does it have to do with race and gender? And what would it take to create a culture that actually protects Black women and children?See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

This week, we’re talking all things ‘The Drama,’ and ‘You, Me, and Tuscany.’ For different reasons, both of these films, starring beloved Black women, have taken over the conversations we’re having on social and in our own circles. What do these new-age black rom-coms say about how we currently look at love and relationships? And who gets to tell those stories? We get into all of that and more in today’s episode. The conversation does contain spoilers. But first, we are desperately in need of an emergency pop culture check-in. Dr. Joy weighs in with her thoughts on the Meg & Klay breakup, lessons from the Michael movie, and the Summer House goings-on. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

Nicolle Wallace covers the 6-3 SCOTUS decision telling states that they can almost never consider race when drawing congressional maps. This ruling, in addition to striking down Louisiana's Congressional Maps due to a majority Black district, will likely stifle Democrats' representation in Congress, especially from southern states. Later, Oliver Darcy, James Sample, and Eddie Glaude join Nicolle to discuss Trump and the FCC's attacks on Jimmy Kimmel.  For more, follow us on Instagram @deadlinewh To listen to this show and other MS NOW podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.
