What if the key to finding true love isn't in the apps, the rules, or the glow-up—but in how deeply you're connected to your own worth?This week, I'm joined by Francesca Hogi—former matchmaker, dating coach, and author of How to Find True Love- for a conversation that's equal parts soul medicine and real-world wisdom.

Canadian actor Tonya Williams spent two decades playing Dr. Olivia Winters on “The Young and the Restless,” which made her one of the first Black actors to star on a soap opera. In 2001, she founded the Reelworld Film Festival, which champions diverse Canadian talent in the TV and film industry. Now, she's been named an Officer of the Order of Canada. We revisit Tonya's conversation with Tom Power about her groundbreaking career and how her soap opera character actually helped increase the number of Black women doctors in the U.S.

Pregnancy should be a time of joy and anticipation, but for thousands of American women each year, it becomes the most dangerous period of their lives. In this eye-opening conversation with Professor Elizabeth Tobin-Tyler of Brown University, we explore the shocking reality that homicide is a leading cause of traumatic death for pregnant and postpartum women, accounting for 31% of maternal injury deaths.Professor Tobin-Tyler draws on her unique background spanning both law and public health to explain how pregnancy often triggers escalating violence in abusive relationships. When an abuser's need for control meets the shifting attention and resources that accompany pregnancy, the results can be deadly—particularly for Black women, who die at five times the rate of white women from homicide during pregnancy.We dive into the complex systems that fail pregnant survivors, from healthcare settings where brief appointments and the presence of abusers make disclosure difficult, to legal frameworks that inadequately protect women from armed abusers. The conversation explores innovative solutions like medical-legal partnerships that bring lawyers into healthcare settings to address both medical and social determinants of health simultaneously.The ripple effects of this violence extend far beyond individual families. Children exposed to domestic violence face lifelong health consequences, creating an estimated $8 billion annual economic burden across healthcare, education, and criminal justice systems. Despite these staggering costs, funding for research and services continues to face cuts.You'll come away from this conversation with a new understanding of how Medicaid access, firearm regulations, and community-based services can save lives, along with practical advice for supporting pregnant survivors in your own community. Professor Tobin-Tyler challenges us all to stop normalizing violence against women and to recognize pregnant women as valuable human beings in their own right—not just as vessels for their children.

On the radio show this week, we cover the negative repercussions from gutting healthcare through the passage of the Trump and Republican leadership's recent reconciliation bill; we cover what happened in Washington DC this last week and how it impacts you; we dive into Black Women's Equal Pay Day; and we close the show lifting up the momentum that the push to pass Paid Family/Medical Leave is gaining.    *Special guests include:  Nicole Jorwic, Chief Program Officer @ Caring Across Generations, @CaringAcrossGen. @‪caringacross.org: Elyssa Schmier, MomsRising, @MomsRising @MamásConPoder, @momsrising.org, @mamasconpoder.org; Monifa Bandele, MomsRising, @MomsRising @MamásConPoder, @momsrising.org, @mamasconpoder.org; Dawn Huckelbridge, Paid Leave for All, @PaidLeaveforAll, @paidleaveforall.bsky.social‬

Did you know that black women in the United States are three times more likely to die from pregnancy related courses than white women? That's a heartbreaking reality, and it's even more alarming when we consider the role of environmental injustice play in these outcomes. Decades of systematic racism have forced for many black families to live in neighborhoods with more pollution, poor quality housing, and limited access to clean water and healthy food. Black women are therefore exposed to higher level of environmental hazards, all of which increase their risk of pregnancy complications like preterm birth, a low birth weight, and even maternal death. We understand how heavy and personal this topic can feel, especially for those who have lived these experiences were. Know someone who has, and that's why we're so glad to chat with Dr. K, Pregnancy Specialist. Dr. K Pregnancy is a board certified practitioner and OB/GYN, as well as Maternal-Fetal Medicine. During this live we're going to discuss the long standing inequity in black maternal care, the role of environment plays in pregnancy outcomes for people of color, what to ask if you are recommended a C-section and if you think it's unnecessary, and so much more.

Political Scientist Angela K. Lewis-Maddox has pulled together an important and useful edited volume focusing on black women political scientists and their experiences in the discipline itself and in studying topics that include race and gender. Political Science, as a discipline, is a bit more than 100 years old, and studies politics, power, institutions, policy, methodology, and theory. These are the over-arching umbrellas within the discipline and many of the specific areas within Political Science take up questions that are connected to these broad concepts. As with many dimensions of our society, race and gender play a role in the discipline itself and in what we study as political scientists. But race and gender have also been considered tertiary issues within the discipline in terms of research. Disrupting Political Science: Black Women Reimagining the Discipline is both autobiographical for some of the contributors as well as an interrogation of Political Science as a discipline. Lewis-Maddox has assembled a group of scholars across rank and position, region and geography, types of institutions, and scholarly emphasis. This diverse assembly of contributors have reflected on their particular experience within Political Science and have written about that experience from a variety of perspectives and approaches. This is a rich and deep study of those who have found themselves to be “space invaders”—black women in spaces and places that are not designed for them. These women all bring the experience of interposing themselves in a place or in places where they are not accepted. And yet they have also persevered in these spaces, in institutions, and within the discipline, and they have considered how they operate professionally and personally in “hostile” territory. Part of the thrust of Disrupting Political Science is to encourage the reimagining of Political Science as a discipline, to challenge the norms and expectations that have remained in place for over a century. And thus to be more accepting of those who do not hew to the silent but strong cis, male, white, and heteronormative norms. Angela K. Lewis-Maddox and her assembly of contributing authors have done a great service to the discipline of Political Science in publishing these analyses and considerations. Disrupting Political Science: Black Women Reimagining the Discipline is shining a light on those who have often been obscured within the boundaries of the academic discipline—either because of who they are or because of what they study. Political Science is truly an expansive discipline, and to understand the world in which we live, individuals or groups should not be marginalized or erased, but re-centered and engaged. This book goes far in helping to refocus and consider otherwise obscured dimensions of Political Science and political scientists. Lewis-Maddox suggested that a good place to purchase this is book is through Mahogany Books. Lilly J. Goren is a professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI.

Key Takeaways:Mental health care should be a constant—not a crisis response.Romance novels can reignite a love for reading and foster emotional connection.Representation in literature—especially LGBTQIA+ stories—matters.Being “well-read” goes beyond book counts; it's about curiosity, reflection, and connection.Mentioned in This Episode:She Well Read PodcastBlack Romance Book Festival (now concluded, but look out for the 2026 dates and lineup!)Favorite authors like Kennedy RyanAudiobooks, spicy romance, and literary guilty pleasuresDream literary dinner party guests (yes, Beyoncé made the list)

“I want people to know that their bodies are not problems to be fixed, or problems to be solved. I want us to examine how do we look at ourselves — especially BIPOC folks, fat folks, and folks with chronic illnesses. What if we didn't have to fix anything? What if our bodies aren't broken? What if it's society and not us?”— Jessica Wilson, RD on Full Plate PodcastEvery once in a while, a conversation cuts through the noise — and makes space for something deeper to settle in.This week on Full Plate, we're revisiting a powerful episode from two and a half years ago (how?!) with Jessica Wilson — a clinical dietitian, author, and speaker whose work continues to shape this field in profound ways.Jessica's book, It's Always Been Ours: Rewriting the Story of Black Women's Bodies, had just been released when we first spoke. And even now, listening back, I feel the same reverence and electricity in her words — and an even deeper appreciation for how much they've reshaped my own thinking.In this conversation, we explore:* How anti-fatness is rooted in anti-Blackness* Why thinness and “wellness” ideals are intentionally weaponized* How Jessica found HAES and anti-diet work, and the limitations that frustrate her* Jessica's experience of medical weight stigma as a child* How the BIPOC experience of diet culture diverges from that of white folks* What it really means to center lived experience and social justice in conversations about health* The myths that persist when it comes to nutrition and our wellbeing* Whether the Mediterranean diet is really all that "healthy"* The complex feelings we both hold about intuitive eating and how it can miss the mark for marginalized folksThere's so much in here. So much that feels like exactly what we need right now — especially in the face of rising public health rhetoric (ahem, “Make America Healthy Again”) that continues to blame individuals instead of challenging systems.Jessica brings her full self: truth-telling, deeply embodied, relentlessly clear. She's not here to make this comfortable — she's here to make it honest.And just a heads up that this episode was recorded before the current wave of GLP-1 conversations, RFK Jr. headlines, and other recent chaos in the wellness world. But trust me, what she shares here still lays the groundwork for understanding it all.Whether this is your first time hearing it, or a second listen — I think you'll walk away changed.P.S. Grab Jessica's book here and read her incredible piece on ultra-processed foods here. And make sure you're following her on Instagram.If you give it a listen, what stood out to you?

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore a rising, quiet movement: Black women choosing to sit out of certain protests, political movements, or national conversations — and why that choice is a protest in itself.We dive into the exhaustion that comes with always being on the frontlines, the feeling of being seen as essential yet overlooked, and the frustration of being expected to show up for everyone while rarely being protected in return. From voting to activism to allyship, many Black women are asking: Where is our rest? Our justice? Our return on investment?This episode challenges the idea that silence equals apathy. Instead, it frames withdrawal as a radical act of preservation, a refusal to be tokenized, and a demand for movements to do better by Black women — not just lean on them.#BlackWomenProtest #SilentProtest #RestIsResistance

Had a great chat with Ruth Ann discussing some of the complexities found in non profit work, community, and really thinking about being a citizen in the most active sense. Her book is a step by step on how we can really build upon community and work through and potentially on new systems that can sustain us in the long term. I appreciate the focus on possibility and actionable steps Ruth Ann provides. When creativity asks the right questions and offers some strategies. We also discuss AI as a tool and the ways and why of use. The T.R.U.M.P. (Together. Resilience. Unity. Mobilization. Possibility.)

Have you seen this wave of racist over the top AI generated videos featuring Black women on TikTok? Since the release of Google’s VEO3 AI video generation platform in May, which allows users to create realistic videos from text prompts, there has been a wave of viral AI generated videos on TikTok depicting Black women using racist stereotypes and tropes. Although the first videos were made with good intentions, their popularity has sparked copycat creators to recreate more and more extreme versions. Just like 19th-century minstrel shows reinforced a political and social climate hostile to Black people, today’s AI-driven content is being used by some to affirm a similarly hostile climate toward Black women, and prop up a political and economic system that benefits others at their expense. Bridget studied minstrel shows in grad school, and has a lot to say about these videos that are essentially white supremacist propaganda masquerading as entertainment.

It's the last episode of this season, and we're discussing a tough question as we enter the summer months. With everything going on in the world, is a “soft life” realistic? Is it responsible? We wrestle with what it means to pursue peace and rest in a world that feels anything but soft. We explore how Black women, in particular, can give themselves permission to step back without ignoring the reality around them. Is it possible to protect your peace and still stay engaged in the world? We don't have all the answers—but it offers a thoughtful, honest look at the balancing act.Like. Follow. Share.

In this episode of The She Said It First Podcast, hosts Jerrilyn Lake aka Indeskribeabull and Lynee’ Monae discuss a variety of topics, but first Lynee’ and Jerrilyn tell the fans What Irritated Them This Week. And while not much irritated Lynee’, Lynee’ irritated Jerrilyn. And the reason why Jerrilyn is irritated with Lynee’ is because she does not live in Atlanta. And now that Lynee’ is in Atlanta, she wants to hit the streets, and Jerrilyn wants to hit the sidewalk. During Girl, What Happened, Jerrilyn and Lynee’ wanted to honor Pride Month. They talked about if they were offered a role to play someone in the LGBTQ+ community, would they be able to be believable. This conversation went further when Jerrilyn and Lynee’ spoke about Tyler Perry and how some of his movies, and other filmmakers, only show the trauma of black people, and black women specifically. Also, with it being Juneteenth, Jerrilyn and Lynee’ wants to celebrate black people being free in this country. And they spoke about who should be off work on Juneteenth. And during Girl Talk, they spoke about young girls wearing makeup and wigs.

Juneteenth is often celebrated with cookouts, music, and joy—but beneath the surface lies a powerful question: What does it truly mean to be free?In this reflective solo episode, Dr. Cassandre Dunbar explores the emotional, spiritual, and generational layers of freedom through the lens of Juneteenth and the thought-provoking film Sinners. From the delayed emancipation of enslaved people in Texas to the present-day pursuit of Black liberation, this conversation invites listeners to look inward.What does freedom feel like in your body? In your relationships? In your rest?Through storytelling, cultural critique, and heartfelt reflection, Cassandre challenges us to redefine freedom on our own terms—and to embrace Black joy not as a luxury, but as a birthright and a radical act of resistance.Key Takeaways:Juneteenth is not just a celebration—it's a call to reflect on what freedom really means.Black joy is resistance. Black rest is revolution.Cultural freedom begins with personal healing.You deserve joy that isn't rooted in struggle or survival.Freedom is a practice—one that requires care, community, and conscious choice.Sign up to my summer of joy journey through my substack hereConnect with me on socials- join the Be Well,Sis tribe on Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube , and subscribe to the newsletter or buy me a coffee!If this episode resonated with you- share with a friend!-We're supporting St Jude's- head over to www.stjude.org/bewellsis right now and sign up to be a monthly donor.
