Episode Description: In this inspiring episode of Black Is America, host Dominic Lawson takes us on a cinematic, time-traveling journey through the lives of three iconic Black women whose speed transcended the track: Wilma Rudolph, Florence Griffith Joyner (Flo Jo), and Sha'Carri Richardson. Joined by Olympic gold medalist Moushaumi Robinson, Dominic explores how each of these women didn't just run — they defied societal expectations, symbolizing freedom, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of Black womanhood. From Wilma's battle with polio to Flo Jo's fashion-forward domination, and Sha'Carri's public redemption arc, this episode is a masterclass in perseverance and Black excellence. Tune in to uncover why for Black women, speed isn't just about winning — it's about being seen, celebrated, and rewriting history. Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways: Wilma Rudolph's journey: From polio-stricken childhood to becoming the fastest woman in the world at the 1960 Rome Olympics. Florence Griffith Joyner's style and speed: How Flo Jo combined athletic dominance with unapologetic beauty and cultural impact, redefining what a champion could look like. Sha'Carri Richardson's redemption story: How the sprinter's suspension became a national conversation on grace, resilience, and how Black women are held to impossible standards — and how she roared back stronger. The power of representation and freedom: Olympic gold medalist Moushaumi Robinson reflects on seeing Flo Jo as a child and how that vision of beauty and freedom inspired generations. Black women in business and politics: How Black women continue to break records not just on the track, but as entrepreneurs, educators, and changemakers. Historical context and cinematic storytelling: A non-linear journey through the stories of these women, enriched with sound design, Olympic archives, and historical parallels. The ongoing conversation around protecting and celebrating Black women: From Sandra Bland to Breonna Taylor, the episode challenges listeners to see victories without footnotes and to honor Black women's humanity and excellence fully. Notable Soundbites & Quotes from the Episode: "Speed is not just about moving fast — it's freedom." — Moushaumi Robinson "Black women don't just show up. They show out." — Dominic Lawson "It's always the first, but rarely the celebration." — Moushaumi Robinson "Sha'Carri's suspension wasn't just about track; it was about who gets grace and who doesn't." — Dominic Lawson "Black women mold adversity into strength — on the track, in boardrooms, and in Congress." — Dominic Lawson Final Thoughts This episode is a moving tribute to the legacy of Black women who run not just to win, but to inspire, break barriers, and push the world forward. Through Wilma, Flo Jo, and Sha'Carri, we're reminded that speed is more than physical — it's a spiritual declaration of freedom and resilience.

Join us and be inspired in this replay episode from Women Acquiring Assets, featuring Asheli Atkins, a PhD in race and ethnic relations and an MBA who focuses on the intersection of growing wealth among women, particularly women of color, and the implications for legacy and financial empowerment. She highlights the rapid growth of women's wealth, emphasizing the importance of providing access to financial education, coaching, and products tailored to their needs. This growing wealth has the potential to reshape how legacy is built, but Asheli stresses that businesses must recognize and engage authentically with women and Black communities to support this transformation. A key aspect of Asheli's work is her critique of performative allyship in corporate diversity initiatives. She argues that many organizations make surface-level statements about diversity and inclusion without implementing meaningful, long-term changes. Asheli calls for companies to go beyond symbolic actions and ensure consistent engagement with marginalized communities, particularly Black businesses, and to build genuine, ongoing relationships. She emphasizes the importance of diversity across various aspects, including race, gender, and sexuality, and believes that companies must reflect the communities they serve in their leadership and practices. Asheli is also deeply involved in supporting Black entrepreneurs and marginalized groups, including through initiatives like Black Restaurant Week, which connects Black farmers and restaurateurs to promote economic empowerment. She advocates for intentional efforts to expand networks and engage with diverse individuals, encouraging organizations to invest in long-term, authentic relationships. Ultimately, Asheli's work is driven by the belief that true diversity and inclusivity require sustained commitment, self-reflection, and the willingness to foster real change across communities and industries.

Do you ever ponder over the significance of education and entrepreneurship within Black communities? We brought aboard a leading advocate for education policy reform  - Gerard Robinson, former Commission of Education in the State of Florida and Secretary of Education for the Commonwealth of Virginia. From the  Crenshaw District in Los Angeles to lecturing at the University of Virginia, Gerard's transformative voyage as an educational thought leader. He recalls the crucial role mentors, educators, and his tireless pursuit of learning played in escorting him to the hallways of Howard University. In his youth, Gerard taught fifth graders at the Marcus Garvey School in Los Angeles, and ever since he's been a fervent believer in the power of education. Post the Rodney King verdict, Gerard stepped into the boots of a policy-maker, dedicating his efforts towards building a more equitable educational system for Black students. We explore education's historical significance, from the Civil War era to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Lastly, Gerard discusses the untapped potential of Black Independent Schools, especially in light of the recent pandemic. We delve into how technological advancements can redefine black education and how endowing chairs can bolster our teachers with necessary resources. Gerard also imparts his perceptive insights on mentorship, being an influential presence in diverse spaces, and learning from the past to shape the future. Prepare to be inspired by Gerard's wisdom and vision for transforming black education and entrepreneurship.Support the show

Background Andrew (Drew) Weaver had over 20 years of experience in the Entertainment Industry as a Broadcast Engineer before venturing out on his own in 2011 to start his first business. By 2016, Drew decided to shift from being a traditional entrepreneur whose major ideology is profit is king and people are a means to an end, to being a Social Entrepreneur whose central ideology is people are king and profit is a means to an end. Shortly thereafter, he began shutting down his business. Later that year, Drew decided his next business had to focus on social impact and SHOPINV, an app focused on ending poverty was born. Funding this venture via Venture Capitalists who marketed themselves as Social Impact investors proved to be impossible for a Black man in America. Drew was told, to his face, by a VC Owner that his investors would not invest in a Black man trying to end poverty. So, Drew went back to the drawing board and decided to strategically postpone SHOPINV. It was after George Floyd was murdered and the people took to the streets to protest for days on end that Drew decided to build his third business BLVCK$FUND (pronounced Black Dollar Fund), which would never require funds from VC's. All his revolutionary system would need to succeed is informed Black people and allies who thoroughly understand and applaud the goal of bridging the wealth gap after 400-plus years. His ingenious plan incorporates group economics to invest in Black people and their communities. Andrew's BLVCK$FUND strategy would take less than 10% of the Black population to participate and could yield roughly $650M per year to be solely invested in Black people and their communities throughout the 50 States.
