92 percent.That's how many Black women voted for Kamala Harris.And somehow… we're still being asked to carry the country.To welcome in Black History Month, we're unpacking what that 92 percent statistic really means and why Black women voters remain the most ignored constituency in the room.This isn't just about politics though.It's about grace.It's about systemic racism in America.It's about faith being weaponized in Christianity and politics.And it's about immigration, dehumanization, and who gets protected.We're chatting about:The meaning behind the 92 percent of Black women who voted for Kamala Harris (and why that number matters!)The “grace gap” and the emotional labor placed on Black women in politics and cultureThe misuse of Christianity in politics and what faith actually calls us to doWhy Black History Month should question endurance, not just celebrate itRace should not be a privilege and humanity should not be conditional.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!In the historic mining town of Victor, the Black Monarch Hotel stands as a place where the past never fully loosened its grip. Once a raucous saloon, casino, and brothel, the building was infamous in the early 1900s as “the finest gentleman's club this side of the Mississippi.” Its walls have witnessed wealth and violence, indulgence and desperation — and, according to many, something far harder to explain.After a devastating fire in 1899, the structure was rebuilt and renamed, but whatever lingered from its earliest days never truly left. When Adam Zimmerli encountered the long-vacant building generations later, he saw more than decay. He saw an opportunity to restore its grandeur while honoring its strange and unsettled history.Today, the Black Monarch's Victorian gothic décor, themed rooms, and reputation for unnerving encounters have made it one of the most talked-about haunted hotels in the West. Guests report unexplained sounds, shadowy figures, and a sense of being watched — reminders that this is more than a place to spend the night. It's a place shaped by its former inhabitants, some of whom may still consider it home.#TheGraveTalks #BlackMonarchHotel #HauntedHotels #VictorColorado #ParanormalHistory #VictorianGothic #HauntedAmerica #TrueParanormal #GhostStories Love real ghost stories?

What if the American Revolution was never just an American story? Historian Ronald Angelo Johnson helps us uncover the deep connections between the American and Haitian Revolutions to reveal how both revolutions emerged from the same Atlantic imperial struggle for empire, racialized power, and war. Using details from his book Entangled Alliances, Ron will guide us from the Treaty of Paris in 1763 to the Siege of Savannah in 1779, where hundreds of Black soldiers from French Saint Domingue landed on Georgia's shores—not as enslaved laborers, but as uniformed volunteers ready to fight for American Independence.

In this episode of 'Maximize Your Hunt', host John Teater discusses various strategies for improving hunting properties through effective land management and habitat improvement with guest Mark Krawczyk (Keyline Vermont). The conversation covers the importance of understanding native and non-native plants, the benefits of agroforestry, and the significance of designing effective planting layouts. Jon and Mark emphasize the need for thoughtful planning in creating zones of use within properties to maximize their potential for wildlife and hunting success. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the intricacies of agroforestry, focusing on techniques such as coppicing and pollarding, and their benefits for land management and biodiversity. They discuss the importance of structural diversity in ecosystems and share personal insights on life philosophies related to land stewardship and sustainable practices. takeaways Maximizing hunting properties requires effective land management. Understanding the role of native and non-native plants is crucial. Agroforestry integrates trees and shrubs into agricultural practices. Designing effective planting layouts can enhance wildlife habitats. Creating zones of use helps in managing land effectively. Proximity to core zones increases stewardship capabilities. Iterative design allows for flexibility in land management. Water collection and management are key in planting designs. Black currants are a resilient crop for wildlife and humans. Access to different zones enhances interaction with the land. The layout of access ways is crucial in agroforestry systems. Coppicing and pollarding are ancient practices that enhance forest management. Beavers serve as natural forest management tools. Coppicing can improve habitat for wildlife and increase biodiversity. Pollarding allows for sustainable forage management for livestock. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde breaks down the week of Feb 2–8, 2026, when an ancient idea, the Olympic Truce, collided with modern reality: AI-built platforms leaking identities, satellites and cyber defenses becoming battlefield "terrain," sanctions escalating into lawfare, and ceasefire language clashing with ongoing violence. What happens when "trust" becomes the scarcest resource online? Who controls connectivity in war zones: states or private networks? When do sanctions stop being diplomacy and start reshaping international justice? And in an era of drones, deepfakes, and cyberattacks, what does a "truce" even mean?On the Bid Picture Podcast, I talk about big ideas, and Lembrih is one of them. Born from Ghanaian roots, Lembrih is building an ethical marketplace for Black and African artisans: makers of heritage-rich products often overlooked online. The vision is simple: shop consciously, empower communities, and share the stories behind the craft. Lembrih is live on Kickstarter now, and your pledge helps build the platform.

Episode #1095 In this episode, Doug sits down with Nino, a member of the TPM team, to have a real and honest conversation about identity, family, and personal growth especially from the lens of someone who didn't grow up around this kind of work. Nino shares his first experience attending an Alpha Reset and opens up about what it was like coming from a background where talking about emotions, growth, or family leadership wasn't the norm. They get into cultural expectations, generational patterns, and what it means to take ownership of your life as a man. This isn't just a story about transformation it's a call to rethink what leadership in your home and community really looks like. Whether you're from the inner city or a small town, Latino or Black or White, the reality is most men were never taught how to be grounded and powerful at the same time. You'll hear about the masks we wear, why they're so hard to take off, and how real change starts when you decide to stop performing and start leading. If you've ever felt like you're doing life on someone else's terms, this episode will hit home.

On January 7, 2026, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother and poet, in Minneapolis. One week earlier, an off-duty ICE agent killed Keith Porter Jr., a Black father of two, on New Year's Eve in Los Angeles. No charges have been filed in either case.Dr. Jason Johnson—professor, MSNBC contributor, and political analyst—argues that Democrats should make abolishing ICE central to their 2026 midterm campaigns. His case isn't just moral—it's political. Polling shows 46% of Americans support abolishing ICE, higher than support for abolishing the IRS. Yet Democratic leadership remains silent.In this urgent conversation, Jason breaks down why ICE's absence from pop culture creates a unique political opportunity, how ICE spending is an economic justice issue, why this agency operates as a secret police force, and what it means for Democrats to actually be an opposition party. The question now: will Democrats have the courage to act?RESOURCES & REFERENCESDr. Jason Johnson's Work:Article: "Democrats need to run against ICE in 2026" (MSNBC) - https://www.ms.now/opinion/abolish-ice-polls-democrats-midterms-2026 YouTube Channel: Dr. Jason Johnson (Three Things series)Book: Political Consultants & Campaigns: One Day to SellBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.

From the publisher: "In this masterful, groundbreaking work, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Heather Ann Thompson shines surprising new light on an infamous 1984 New York subway shooting that would unveil simmering racial resentments and would lead, in unexpected ways, to a fractured future and a new era of rage and violence.On December 22, 1984, in a graffiti-covered New York City subway car, passengers looked on in horror as a white loner named Bernhard Goetz shot four Black teens,  Darrell Cabey, Barry Allen, Troy Canty, and James Ramseur, at point-blank range. He then disappeared into a dark tunnel. After an intense manhunt, and his eventual surrender in New Hampshire, the man the tabloid media had dubbed the “Death Wish Vigilante” would become a celebrity and a hero to countless ordinary Americans who had been frustrated with the economic fallout of the Reagan 80s. Overnight, Goetz's young victims would become villains."Dr. Heather Ann Thompson's website can be found at https://www.heatherannthompson.com/Information on her book can be found at https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/771433/fear-and-fury-by-heather-ann-thompson/AxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

SEASON 4 EPISODE 57: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: When they insist Trump's Thursday night racist video depicting the Obamas as apes wasn’t posted by Trump but by somebody else in the White House – and then he undermines the lie they spread on his behalf by saying he selected the video and had them post it but he just didn’t see the whole thing but so what it wasn’t a mistake they just deleted it – I think each part of that is a lie. It was a set-up. I conclude that this is not just blatant, human garbage racism, inherited Trump Family Branded racism, but I conclude the entire thing was designed – to whatever degree anything Trump and these scumbags do is DESIGNED – it was DESIGNED to turn out this way. Event happens, justifiable backlash, unrighteous indignation from press secretary Eva Braun, oops it wasn’t supposed to be posted, oops bad staffer, oops Trump comes out at the end of the day and… endorses the original racism anyway, quote, “I didn’t make a mistake.” And he did it this circuitous way, the way he expresses ALL his racism against BLACK people, because he can’t send ICE after them. But the point of the video was he was reminding his putrid, hate-driven base that he can't send ICE after them...FOR THE MOMENT. B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: There are actually people in politics and media who for some reason don't see that Jeff Bezos hired Will Allen to slowly destroy The Washington Post (to please Trump) and think this was all some sort of mismanagement, rather than a well-executed plan. Unfortunately at least two of them wrote it on their sites: Jim Vandehei and Dylan Byers. Sage Steele is back with not only anti-athlete, anti-freedom of speech conservative swill, but stuff that is almost a word-for-word duplication of what Laura Ingraham wrote 20 years ago. And incredibly, in Year 11 of the Trump Scam, there's still a guy on CNN thinks Trump just changed his tone. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Not to say I've had a lot of jobs but I just remembered one that I had FORGOTTEN: my two weeks as the entire sports department on a New York City newspaper that went daily, while the big papers were out on strike in 1978!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LINK TO OUR LIVE SHOW! (or visit historythisweekpodcast.com) Feb 13, 1920. For over thirty years, Black baseball players have been locked out of the major leagues. So on this day in Kansas City, Rube Foster, a former pitcher and now a team owner, is trying to make his own league just for Black players. He has gathered owners of other Black baseball teams, who currently play each other in one-off matchups or face independent teams in random games around the country. But Foster wants them to get organized, and soon, the Negro National League would be born.  But up to this point, how did Black baseball survive after segregation became the unofficial policy of the major leagues? And how did Black players, owners, and managers join together to create something that no baseball fan could ignore? Special thanks to our guests, Phil S. Dixon, author and Negro Leagues researcher; and Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, MO. ** This episode originally aired Feb 7, 2022.

On December 22, 1984, in a graffiti-covered New York City subway car, passengers looked on in horror as a white loner named Bernhard Goetz shot four Black teens, Darrell Cabey, Barry Allen, Troy Canty, and James Ramseur, at point-blank range. He then disappeared into a dark tunnel. After an intense manhunt, and his eventual surrender in New Hampshire, the man the tabloid media had dubbed the “Death Wish Vigilante” would become a celebrity and a hero to countless ordinary Americans who had been frustrated with the economic fallout of the Reagan 80s. Overnight, Goetz's young victims would become villains.Out of this dramatic moment would emerge an angry nation, in which Rupert Murdoch's New York Post and later Fox News Network stoked the fear and the fury of a stunning number of Americans.Drawing from never-before-seen archival materials, legal files, and more, Heather Ann Thompson narrates the Bernie Goetz Subway shootings and their decades-long reverberations, while deftly recovering the lives of the boys whom too many decided didn't matter. Fear and Fury is the remarkable account and a searing indictment of a crucial turning point in American history. FEAR AND FURY: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage—Heather Ann Thompson

Black cumin seed oil has a long history of traditional use, and its benefits trace to thymoquinone. However, it also contains the omega-6 fat linoleic acid (LA), which exposes you to risks that may outweigh its benefits Thymoquinone makes up only about 0.1% to 0.9% of black cumin seed oil, so obtaining meaningful amounts through this oil requires consuming substantial quantities of LA Black cumin seed oil contains roughly 50% to 62% LA by weight, placing it in the same high-LA category as other vegetable oils, such as cottonseed oil Typical dosing of 1 to 3 teaspoons daily delivers roughly 2.5 to 7.5 grams of LA, representing a meaningful increase over an already elevated modern baseline intake Standardized thymoquinone extracts are a better alternative, commonly sold as 5%, 10%, or 20% formulations. These allow you to obtain benefits from a traditional remedy without the LA burden

In this episode, we take a sharp, sarcastic deep dive into the latest "sundowner" antics coming out of the White House and the blatant economic backfire hitting the administration's own base. From 4:00 AM cowardice to the massive contrast in how America celebrates Black History Month, we're breaking down why "truly great men" don't have to tear others down to stand tall. The 4 AM "Red Flag": Why midnight tantrums aren't "strength"—they're a sign of failing health and an old man sundowning on a global stage. We discuss why his kids need to snatch the phone before the battery (and the legacy) hits zero. The Economic "Self-Own": A look at the reality behind the rhetoric. With groceries at 4x the price, record-high foreclosures, and health insurance premiums skyrocketing due to expired subsidies, we ask: who is this "greatness" actually for? The "Michelle" Metric: Poetic justice at the box office. Why is an immigrant documentary playing to empty seats and tumbleweeds, while Michelle Obama's Becoming is back at #1 six years later?

On February 7, 1926, National Negro History Week was first observed. This week, we frame Blackest History Month as a Governance ritual against the coming 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, not as celebration but as struggle—over memory, power, and education. Coming from this weekend's “Blackprint 20” Conference in Philadelphia, we trace recurring conflicts from 1776 to 1976 to the present: Social Structure spectacle versus Movement and Memory; the archive versus living intergenerational transmission; and curriculum as Governance protocol beyond simple skill development. White supremacy cannot coexist with African self-determination, equity or any other form of full beingness. Rituals that mark anniversaries must activate memory into action, revealing intellectual warfare over history, schooling, and national identity in a convulsing settler state.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Your business is making money… so why do banks keep saying NO? In this episode of Black Entrepreneur Blueprint, Jay Jones exposes one of the most frustrating truths in entrepreneurship: profit does not equal fundable. Too many Black business owners are doing real numbers, serving real customers, and still getting denied for loans—with no clear explanation why. Jay breaks down the myth that revenue alone unlocks capital and reveals how lenders actually evaluate businesses behind the scenes. If you've ever felt confused, discouraged, or blindsided by a loan denial, this episode will change how you see money, credit, and funding forever. And this is just the setup. In the next episode, Jay pulls the curtain all the way back to explain why the system works this way, who it really favors, and what Black entrepreneurs must do instead to win the funding game. Don't miss this one—because once you understand the rules, you stop taking denials personally and start moving strategically.

With over 83 percent public support, the SAVE Act should be a layup. So why are Democrats attacking it as "Jim Crow 2.0," and why is Republican leadership in the Senate stalling behind procedural excuses? This episode breaks down what the SAVE America Act actually does, why voter ID has overwhelming bipartisan support, and how the "suppression" narrative relies on racial gaslighting. From the myth of nationalized elections to the Senate's zombie filibuster, Professor Nick Giordano provides a blunt analysis of why election integrity has become a controversial fight in Washington. What You'll Learn What the SAVE Act really changes and why proof of citizenship matters for secure elections Why claims that voter ID is racist collapse under real-world scrutiny and polling data Black and Latino communities How voter roll maintenance works everywhere else in government and why elections are treated differently Why the zombie filibuster allows Senate leadership to block popular legislation without taking a public stand What the GOP's hesitation reveals about political courage and the upcoming 2026 midterms.

Sometimes it's humiliating to be a woman. Especially a woman watching reality TV. In an episode that got so off course, Kaya rearranges the sequence she talks about the shows in so you can have a little fun at least while she talks about The Valley Persian Style and Southern Charm, things then take a pissed off turn.Also, y'all I got you with a code for ro.co for a GLP1!

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Paul Thomas live from Norway. Classified as not White, Thomas is a professor of pedagogy specializing in critical pedagogy and multicultural education at the University of South-Eastern Norway. He migrated to Norway from Somalia and began driving a cab before matriculating to college and becoming a university professor. We'll discuss his latest book, Too Black to Be Here?: Exploring Racism in Norway through Four Critical Case Studies. He examines the 2011 White Terrorist attack of Anders Breivick and the 2001 Racist murder of 16-year-old Benjamin Hermansen by a gang of White youth. The text mentions many of the typical names that White people allow us to use when discussing Racism: Noel Ignatiev, Dr. Peggy McIntosh, Dr. Charles W. Mills, Dr. Joe Feagin and Ta-Nehisi Coates to name a few. Gus has found that White people promote these scholars as being "acceptable," even though they frequently assert incorrect or illogical thinking about the System of White Supremacy. Such as suggesting that non-white people are “invisible,” White Supremacy being the result of “ignorant” or “unconscious” White behavior, and/or that not all White people are Racist. Dr. Thomas provided a fascinating discussion about the importance of the current conflict over Pres. Donald J. Trump's pursuit of Greenland and how it is impacting people classified as white in Scandinavia and other regions of Europe. $TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Chris Boucher is the author of the new book, “Harry “Bucky” Lew: A Biography of Basketball's First Black Professional” The book tells the story of how Harry “Bucky” Lew leapt over pro basketball's color wall in 1902 and continued to integrate every single role in the game over the next 25 years. He was the first Black player, coach, manager, referee, and franchise owner in otherwise white leagues. His accomplishments were well documented in the newspapers of his day, but he has largely been forgotten, despite his assist to the Dodgers in finding a home for their first Black players in the United States and the full integration of all major league sports that soon followed.Chris is a lifelong basketball fan and resident of Lowell, Massachusetts and hadn't heard of Bucky Lew until he started researching the history of basketball in Lowell. He was shocked to learn all that Lew had accomplished and now hopes to get him his proper due.On this episode Mike & Chris discuss the remarkable life of Harry “Bucky” Lew, the first black professional basketball player. Lew's significant contributions to the sport include breaking color barriers as a player, coach, manager, referee, and franchise owner within predominantly white leagues from 1902 onward. The discussion highlights the historical context of Lew's achievements, emphasizing his role in advancing racial integration in professional basketball and his pivotal influence on subsequent generations of athletes. Boucher articulates the challenges Lew faced, including racial discrimination and physical confrontations during games, shedding light on a largely forgotten yet crucial chapter in basketball history.

Send us a textWhat if the very moment that almost broke you… was the moment that built you?He watched his best friend get shot six times at 16… and no one asked him how he was doing. No therapist. No safe space. Just silence, street code, and survival. In this raw and powerful episode of Self Reflection Podcast, Robert Harrison shares how that moment shaped his mental health, triggered PTSD, and eventually led him to turn trauma into purpose through therapy and trauma-informed fitness. If you've ever carried pain in silence, struggled with a father wound, or wondered how to transform trauma into strength — this conversation is for you.Robert shares the life-altering event that shaped his path — witnessing his best friend being shot six times as a teenager and carrying that trauma in silence. No therapist. No safe space. Just hypervigilance, survival mode, and the unspoken weight of PTSD. In a culture that discouraged vulnerability, he learned to cope alone. But what could have hardened him instead awakened him.From that moment forward, Robert chose a different story.Now a trauma-informed therapist and founder of Define Our Fitness, he uses weightlifting as a tool to regulate the nervous system, rebuild confidence, and restore emotional balance. In this episode, he breaks down how physical discipline reshapes brain chemistry, strengthens identity, and creates space for healing — proving that movement isn't just about muscles… it's about reclaiming your mind.But the conversation goes deeper.Lira and Robert explore father wounds and generational trauma — what it means to forgive a parent who couldn't show up, how compassion doesn't excuse harm, and how breaking cycles requires awareness, discipline, and grace. They discuss addiction through a lens of empathy, the moral compass and mental health connection, and why living out of alignment with your values quietly erodes your inner peace.Robert also opens up about his time in law enforcement as a Black officer navigating systems that didn't fully accept him — and how choosing alignment over security changed the trajectory of his life.This episode is about responsibility without shame. Compassion without weakness. Strength without ego.It is about becoming the person you once needed.If you have ever wrestled with trauma, questioned your path, struggled with forgiveness, or felt out of alignment with who you truly are — this conversation will meet you there.Your past does not disqualify you.Your pain does not define you.Your struggle can still write a better ending.Healing is not passive.

Let's play “Spot the Desperation”. It's an easy game. Just listen to Democrats discuss any topic, and see if you can…spot the desperation.Trump is a racist, again. This time because of a video that depicted Democrats as animals. Democrats jumped at the chance to paint Trump as a racist, when the Obamas were depicted as apes. Trump didn't play the video, but it play AFTER a video that Trump's team did play. The hoopla over the incident lasted exactly 1 minute and 13 seconds, before it lost steam.Hakeem Jeffries wanted to make sure to register his dismay at President Trump doing nothing, and dropped an f-bomb in one of his comments. Dollar Store Obama is worse than Joe Biden when it comes to acting tough.After the “Trump is racist” tactic failed, Democrats moved on to criticize Trump RX. Lifelong grifters like Elizabeth Warren who championed for lower prescription drug prices poopooed on Trump RX calling it a “Trump vanity project”. Millions of Americans can now officially get deeply discounted meds, in many cases at less cost than their co-pays, and Democrats are complaining.Democrats are mad that Trump is threatening to audit 15 states where election cheating occurred the most.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Can we look at how we are winning? I'm excited as heck to be back to remind my friend, YOU, about how things are going.Do you want to know what I learned about academia.Professors are telling poly sci students to register as Republicans then vote Leftists.Seen any sign of that?That's the Democrats' strategy is to LIE about who they are, try to fool us, infiltrate us, then turn on us.We have so many things to discuss, and NONE of it is good news for Democrats.I crack up when I see these clown talking about “when we get back the House” or “when we gain control”, etc.Democrats told us there was no fraud. They told us to move on. They told us January 6 was a fairy tale invented by extremists. Now unsealed grand jury testimony says Georgia Governor Brian Kemp ordered investigators to stand down. That is not incompetence. That is participation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You don't lack talent.You don't lack discipline.You're not lazy.You're overthinking.And it might be the one thing quietly slowing your progress.In this episode of SAUNAIE, we talk about self-sabotage — the subtle ways we delay, hesitate, and talk ourselves out of opportunities even when we know we're capable.Because sometimes the biggest obstacle isn't the world…It's our own thoughts.We break down:• Why overthinking feels productive but kills action• The psychology behind procrastination & perfectionism• Why fear shows up as “planning”• How self-doubt impacts Black male entrepreneurs differently• The science behind confidence and action• Simple systems to stop overthinking and start movingIf you've ever said “I'm not ready yet” or “I need more time” — this episode is for you.Messy action beats perfect hesitation.Always.

From medieval speculums to modern myths, vaginas deserve better. Jessica Wynn takes a deep dive into these anatomical marvels here on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1282On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The vagina is self-cleaning with its own microbiome — douching, "pH-balancing" products, and vaginal steams disrupt this natural ecosystem and can cause infections. Most "feminine hygiene" products are marketing scams that profit from manufactured shame.Vaginas expand dramatically during arousal through a process called "tenting" — doubling in length and width, then returning to normal afterward. The myth that sex "stretches out" vaginas is anatomically false; vaginal muscles are elastic, not memory foam.Women's pain is systematically dismissed by the medical establishment — conditions like endometriosis take 7-10 years to diagnose, and menstrual cramps can rival heart attack pain. This stems from historical medical sexism, including experiments on enslaved Black women without anesthesia.Teaching children proper anatomical terminology is a critical safety issue — when kids know words like "vagina," "vulva," and "clitoris," they can clearly communicate if abuse occurs. Euphemisms create dangerous confusion that may protect abusers.Learn your anatomy and advocate for yourself — understanding your body empowers you to have better medical conversations, safer sex, and healthier relationships. Knowledge about vaginal health isn't indecent; ignorance is.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde breaks down an open-source, intelligence-brief–style profile of Costa Rica's president-elect Laura Fernández Delgado: her leadership signals, governing incentives, and the early indicators that will matter most once she takes office. What kind of decision-maker is she: technocratic operator, movement carrier, or both? How far can a security-first agenda go inside Costa Rica's institutional guardrails—and what would be the regional ripple effects? Does San José tighten alignment with Washington on counternarcotics, cyber, and migration, while still hedging with Beijing on trade and investment? And could deeper security mini-lateralism in Central America reshape the balance between "order" and democratic norms? Framed with the kind of structured analysis Bidemi has used for high-stakes audiences, this episode maps the geopolitical downstream effects, before the first 100 days write the story.Quick question: when you buy something handmade, do you ever wonder who made it, and where your money really goes? Lembrih is building a marketplace where you can shop Black and African-owned brands and learn the story behind the craft. And the impact is built in: buyers can support vendors directly, and Lembrih also gives back through African-led charities, including $1 per purchase. They're crowdfunding on Kickstarter now.

Julia Loktev's latest documentary, ‘My Undesirable Friends - Part 1: Last Air in Moscow,' follows independent Russian journalists in the months leading up to, and just after, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The film has arrived in the U.S. at a moment when questions about press freedom feel newly present. “Every day it feels like there is something to bring the story home for Americans, where it almost feels like there's Easter eggs in the film that become more and more relevant.” she says. Also, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Heather Ann Thompson revisits a 1984 New York City subway shooting, when Bernhard Goetz, a white man, shot four Black teenagers. In the days that followed, Goetz became  a hometown hero. “We are watching someone tell us exactly who they are, exactly what they did, and it will not matter. Up will become down, down will become up. And that also felt very, very familiar to where we are today.” Her book is ‘Fear and Fury.' Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
