In case you missed it, this episode is a re-release of an amazing conversation with Dr. Christina Grant.Andre 3000 told us the South has something to say, and Dr. Christina Greer wants us to heed the lessons that Black women political leaders from the South are teaching us. Dr. Greer stops by the class to talk about her latest publication, “How to Build a Democracy. From Fannie Lou Hamer and Barbara Jordan to Stacey Abrams,” and what it means to grow beyond fear, to build upon foundations established by our ancestors, being prepared to thrive at Historically White Colleges and Universities, the importance of political tithing and not waiting for America to grow up fully–she may never.  How to Build a Democracy.

Our guest has resurrected the word ‘instigators’ and given it a powerful and positive connotation. In this case, she is bringing attention the historical importance of Black women, ages 18 to 45, whose role continues to be that of pushing our society forward for social justice and historic reforms of all kinds.  Atima Omara, author of “The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy and What We Can Learn from Them”, challenges us to consider any progressive movement–be it abolition, voting rights, labor justice, the environment, the rights for LGBTQ and those advances relating to persons with disability–to recognize the central role the ‘instigators’ have played throughout our history.  Even the Flint, Michigan water crises and the attention and action brought to it came about because of these brave young Black women.  We revisit some of the history and current day impacts that these women have had and continue to on our society as they resist being pushed to the margins with a range of creative efforts to bend the nation’s moral compass toward justice.

Dr. Kerry Mitchell Brown on her new book, Revolutionary Leadership: A Power Playbook for Black Women.

Black women, do you have emotional safe spaces? Secondly, do you use those emotional safe spaces? An emotional safe space is where we can show up as our authentic selves with our vulnerabilities and limitations and receive nurture, care, love, and validation. Such spaces provide healing where we bask in visibility, are encouraged to take off the masks, speak our voice, and reframe from shrinking and code switching. To be honest, such spaces are few and far between for Black women which is why we must cultivate our own spaces where we no longer remain silent about our mental health. Speak up! Let's talk about it. www.talkingwithdrtoy.com

Nick and Schmidt celebrate 10 years of living together in this week's New Girl episode, "TinFinity"!Jenn (@notajenny) and Jaime (@jaimepoland) are back and have a lot to say about the way the show portrays the friendship between these two, how Nick and Schmidt's dynamic has shifted since college, and the way their conflict escalates and resolves. The two then discuss how this episode progresses the Shivrang/Cece story and the way the both feel about the engagement. Plus they talk about Jess' desire to kiss Jax (guest star/forever associated with Reba in our minds, Steve Howey) to stop thinking about Nick, and Winston's role in that particular storyline.Enjoy, all!Our recommended media:The Furious"One & Only" by Maurene GooWe recorded this episode during Pride Month!

Send us Fan MailBlack women saw the warning signs around Graham Platner long before many others did. Instead of asking why they were concerned, too many people dismissed those concerns as divisive, irresponsible, or politically inconvenient. Now, with serious allegations emerging, I want to revisit that moment and ask a bigger question: Why are Black women's instincts so often questioned until it's too late?In this episode, I explore the history behind that pattern, why credibility is so unevenly distributed in our politics, and what this moment reveals about who we choose to believe.Normally, episodes like this are reserved for my premium subscribers, but I'm making this one available to everyone as a preview of what you'll receive as an All Over the Place premium subscriber.If you enjoy thoughtful, historically grounded conversations that go beyond the headlines, consider subscribing.

When Black women mobilize, democracy wins, says Atima Omara. She's written a new book called The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy (And What We Can Learn from Them) and joins host Ali Muldrow to talk about how Black women have fought against racism and sexism and instigated for a more just society. As voters prepare to cast their ballots in the upcoming state and federal elections, the future of our multi-racial democracy stands in the balance. Omara says it's important to work within the Democratic party in order to make it even more inclusive, like Fannie Lou Hamer did. She says the most effective politicians are the ones who stay focused on everyday people.  Omara wrote this book with other Black women and people of color in mind. She wanted to decenter the voices of people who are white, male, cis-gender, wealthy, raised in cultural centers on the coasts, etc. They also talk about the recent wave of democratic socialist candidates, white comfort and patriarchy, and how Black women are to thank for so many intellectual and cultural touchstones.  Atima Omara is the Founder and Chief Strategist of Omara Strategy Group—a progressive political and advocacy consulting firm—and the author of the new book The Instigators: How Black Women Are Essential to American Democracy (And What We Can Learn from Them).

No studio. No traditional setup. Just the ocean, my journal, and a moment of mindfulness. In this beachside episode of the Argh U Mad Podcast, I reflect on a simple reminder: there are no shortcuts to heaven. From relationships, marriage, and protecting yourself as a woman to self-reflection and recognizing when life keeps telling you, "Stop it," this conversation moves wherever the spirit leads. I share my thoughts on 50 Cent's documentary recognition, Tasha K's perspective on marriage and womanhood, and why our icons—including Brandy—deserve the space to be human. Then, the conversation turns to Black women, dark skin, natural hair, and my nearly 12-year loc journey. There is beauty in the stages. There is beauty in starting from the bottom. And there is power in refusing to let outside noise trick you out of your position. To my Black women: never forget that you are beautiful the way God created you. ⚠️ A quick audio note: this episode was recorded live on the beach. My streaming service used my phone microphone instead of my plugged-in mic, so you will hear wind and natural beach sounds throughout the recording. The conversation is still audible, and I hope the ocean adds something special to this moment. Welcome to Thoughtful Thursday.

This is for us! Black women need rest too. Contrary to what culture may negatively believe about Black women, we are human and deserve, rest, care, love, and nurture. The past couple of years have intensified the disenfranchisement of Black women in areas of employment, opportunities, and even in the church. It is nothing new for Black women, but the intensity is more insidious, blatant, and unapologetic, from the perpetuation of negative stereotypes to the stripping of our dignity. Black women may seem to have shields of power to withstand the attacks, but do we not bleed when we are pricked. Let's talk about it. www.talkingwithdrtoy.com

You chose this field for a reason. Do you remember what it was?In this final episode of the summer series, Dr. Nicole gets personal. She shares the story of how she fell in love with human resources — and how years of overachieving, overperforming, and chasing external validation quietly stole the joy that brought her to the work in the first place. And how she got it back.This episode is not about working less or caring less. It is about reconnecting with the reason you started — and understanding why joy is not a luxury. It is one of the most powerful leadership assets you have.Resources mentioned:

We talked about her childhood in Johnsonville, South Carolina, a town of under 1,400 people that taught her the value of community long before she ever set foot in Washington, DC or Silicon Valley.Jotaka walked me through her path from student activist against the death penalty to senior advisor at the NAACP to becoming the first Black employee at a fintech startup in Silicon Valley. She opened up about the layoff that nearly broke her and the Oprah Winfrey clip that helped her reframe it as redirection rather than failure.We also talked about how Win With Black Women was born from a single late night email in 2020 that turned into a Zoom call with 44,000 women, and how that same community continues to organize today. Jotaka got vulnerable about losing her mother during the 2024 election season and what that grief has taught her about faith, resilience and asking for help.Main TakeawaysYour community can be your first investors. The people of Jotaka's hometown pooled money so she could attend a conference that changed the course of her life.A layoff is not always failure.

Gullah-Geechee Diasporas: Knowledge, Culture, and Black Lowcountry Legacies (University of South Carolina Press, 2026) counters romantic portrayals of Gullah-Geechee culture as a static, geographically isolated remnant of the past.

Together, these essays reveal the resilience and adaptability of people whose history defies myths of isolation and immobility. Gullah-Geechee Diasporas is a fresh framework for understanding African American cultural origins, migrations, and transformations.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week in our continuing Glocal Citizens x Black Women in Real Estate and Green For All, and in 2017 opened the Boogie Down Grind — a hip-hop-themed coffee and craft beer spot, the first commercial "third space" in Hunts Point since the mid-1980s. Her 2022 book, Reclaiming Your Community: You Don't Have to Move Out of Your Neighborhood to Live in a Better One, argues that communities thrive when they retain talent and investment rather than losing both to brain drain — a line from the book is now quoted on the walls of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. This conversation was truly a treat as trip down memory lane to my early career working across the five boroughs in New York City. I have watched an admired Majora's economic development acuman since visiting Sustainable South Bronx in the early 2000's as I was getting my start managing and tech-focused industry development project at the New York City Economic Development Corporation. It speaks to the spirit of this BWRE collaboration bringing together Black women in the real estate sector showcasing the personal and professional journeys and highlight how Black women in the industry invest and structure value in/around land/property across global markets and so much more.

EDUCATED & BROKE Black Women Over 40 4 Sista, 9 De by Greg Adams

You have been doing everything right. Showing up polished. Staying composed. Keeping it professional. But what if the thing you have been calling professionalism is actually fear in a blazer? In this episode, Dr. Nicole names one of the most common — and most costly — patterns she sees in ambitious Black women leaders: protection masquerading as professionalism. It looks like discipline. It looks like boundaries. But underneath it, it is self-protection. And it is quietly blocking the very promotions and opportunities you are working so hard to earn. In this episode you'll hear: How the strict rules of professionalism that Gen X and older millennial Black women learned became a form of self-protection over timeWhy hiding in plain sight is one of the most sophisticated career killers there isThe real reason companies don't promote people they don't know — and what that means for youYou cannot be invisible and promoted at the same time. This episode is the moment you stop pretending you can. Resources mentioned:

HER 250, Episode 2: Race, Erasure, and the Women Who Were Told to Wait Their TurnIn 1913, more than five thousand women marched on Washington to demand the vote — and Black women were told to march at the back. Ida B. Wells refused.In Episode Two of HER 250, Dr. Crystallee Crain pulls apart the suffrage movement's celebrated history to show what it cost the women it left behind. She names what's usually left out of the textbooks: Elizabeth Cady Stanton's documented opposition to Black men receiving the vote before "educated" white women,and Susan B. Anthony's strategic distancing of the movement from Black suffragists to preserve support among white Southern women.Then she turns to the women who built power anyway. Ida B. Wells, born into slavery in 1862, founded the first Black women's suffrage club in Chicago and stepped back into a segregated march rather than accept the back of the line. Mary Church Terrell co-founded the National Association of Colored Women in 1896, building national infrastructure for Black women's civic power at a time when white-led organizations shut the door. And Fannie Lou Hamer — sharecropper, organizer, and survivor of a forced sterilization she later named the "Mississippi appendectomy" — delivered 1964 Democratic National Convention testimony so powerful that President Lyndon Johnson called an emergency press conference just to keep it off live television. It aired anyway.The episode closes with Dr. Crain connecting this history to Kimberlé Crenshaw's 1989 framework of intersectionality — naming what Black women had been living and organizing around for a century before it had a name.References[1] The scale and date of the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession is documented by the Brennan Center for Justice, "The 19th Amendment, Explained" (brennancenter.org).[2] The order for Black women to march at the back of the 1913 procession is documented by the National Park Service, "A Noble Endeavor: Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Suffrage" (nps.gov).[3] Elizabeth Cady Stanton's documented opposition to Black men's enfranchisement ahead of white women is sourced from the National Women's History Museum, "Votes for Women Means Votes for Black Women" (womenshistory.org), and corroborated by the Brennan Center for Justice.[4] Susan B.

Wells's founding of the Alpha Suffrage Club (January 1913) and her defiance of the segregation order at the Washington march are documented by AAUW (aauw.org), WTTW Chicago, and the National Park Service.[6] Mary Church Terrell's 1896 founding of the National Association of Colored Women is documented by the Brennan Center for Justice and the National Women's History Museum.[7] Fannie Lou Hamer's 1961 forced sterilization, her coining of the term "Mississippi appendectomy," and her August 22, 1964 DNC testimony are documented by PBS American Experience (pbs.org), the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (nmaahc.si.edu), and the Center for Constitutional Rights (ccrjustice.org).[8] Kimberlé Crenshaw's introduction of "intersectionality" is sourced from her foundational paper, "Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory and Antiracist Politics," University of Chicago Legal Forum, 1989.SoundEpidemic SoundSeaview Title: Sulu

For generations, Black women have been among the most influential voices in the fight to expand American democracy. Yet many of their stories have been overlooked—or erased altogether. In this episode, political strategist, organizer, and author Atima Omara joins me to discuss her new book, The Instigators, which traces the legacy of Black women who challenged injustice, organized their communities, ran for office, and helped shape the country we know today. We discuss why Black women have so often been the catalysts for democratic change, the historical figures whose contributions deserve far greater recognition, what Shirley Chisholm's legacy still teaches us about political leadership, and why today's movements have so much to learn from the women who came before them.

The ladies of Fly Nubian Money speak about body trends for black women

In this episode of Random Nature, host Christy Hyman welcomes writer and scholar Maia Butler to trace the landscapes that shaped her life and her work. Maia opens by locating her roots on Coast Salish land in Olympia, Washington, before moving through her childhood in south- central Alaska on Denaʼina Athabascan lands. She describes early memories of Homer on the Aleutian Chain; making mud pies, digging and cooking clams on the beach, and falling asleep under the midnight sun.As Maia grew, so did her “landscape literacy”: learning subsistence fishing and hunting, foraging for medicinal plants with her mother as her first teacher, and braving long winters of snow and ice. She vividly recalls volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and avalanches—moments when Alaska's raw power humbled her family and forged in her a lifelong sense that “worlds are ending and new ones are beginning” at every turn.Later, Maia moved south for graduate school, planting new roots in coastal North Carolina on Lumbee, Coharie, Waccamaw Siouan, and Eastern Band Cherokee lands and before that, in Louisiana's bayous and wetlands. There, the rhythms of hurricanes and floods echoed Alaska's natural drama, teaching her once again to respect forces beyond human control.Christy shares her own Alaskan stories from Nome—bathtub races at dawn, ten-year-olds driving trucks, and weeks under endless daylight and finding in Maia's memories a shared awe for remote places where nature is always in charge. Tune in to hear how these experiences inform Maia's writing, her sense of localness, and her belief that every storm, eruption, or blackout is both an ending and a beginning.Links to Dr. Maia Butler's projects:https://maialbutler.substack.com/p/the-novels-of-toni-morrison-resources-73a/commentshttps://centerforfiction.org/group-workshop/a-year-of-toni-morrison-volume-ii-with-maia-butler-additional-sessionhttps://www.bloomsbury.com/us/bell-hookss-radical-pedagogy-9781350441590https://www.upress.state.ms.us/Books/N/Narrating-History-Home-and-DyasporaAlso look for the forthcoming collection Black Women's Gardens as Art and Practice (Harvard 2027)Topics/People/Events Covered:Wilmington Race Massacre of 1898: In November 1898, white supremacist militias in Wilmington, North Carolina staged a violent overthrow of the city's legitimately elected government—one of the few successful coups in U.S. history. The mob burned down the offices of a Black-owned newspaper, killed an unknown number of Black residents, and expelled Black and white Republican leaders from the city. The event effectively ended Reconstruction-era Black political power in North Carolina and has been largely omitted from mainstream historical memory.Alexander Manly: Black(very, very lightskinned could actually have passed for white) journalist and publisher of the Wilmington Daily Record, the only Black daily newspaper in the country at the time. His 1898 editorial challenging the racist myth of the Black male predator was used as a pretext for the massacre.

Nature photography is often associated with solitude, exploration, and connection to the outdoors. But for many photographers, especially Black women, entering those spaces hasn't always been welcoming - or safe. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, I sit down with wildlife and nature photographer Angela Ledyard to discuss the importance of representation in outdoor photography, building community, and creating spaces where more Black women feel encouraged to explore nature photography. We also talk about Angela's own photographic journey, the evolution of her work, and the long solo trips she takes in pursuit of wildlife and landscape images. Why Representation in Nature Photography Matters For decades, outdoor and wildlife photography spaces have lacked diversity in visibility, leadership, and community support. Angela discusses how that absence affects participation.  It affects who feels comfortable entering these spaces and who sees photography as being 'for them. Creating visibility matters because people often need to see themselves reflected somewhere before they feel they belong there. Through her work and community-building efforts, Angela is helping redefine what nature photography spaces can look like. Why Visibility Changes Possibility One of the most meaningful ideas from this episode is simple: visibility expands possibility. When photographers see others who look like them succeeding in a space, it changes what feels achievable. Angela's work not only creates photographs - it creates permission! Permission to explore, travel, take up space, and pursue creative work in environments that may have felt inaccessible. That impact extends far beyond photography itself.

Shomari Jackson was raised in East St. Louis, but he spent most of his childhood and teen summers in Arizona visiting his dad. He went to college in Arizona, but as he puts it, "Arizona chewed him up and spit him out." He returned home, experienced some major life events, navigated mental health issues, and finally grappled with the questions that would move him forward: Who was he? What was he capable of? How had trauma (historical, generational, personal) affected him? And most importantly, how did he want to carry himself into the world? Shomari went on to complete both his bachelors and masters degrees, and he's been advocating for equitable change in Arizona ever since.Today, Shomari is the owner and executive director of The South Mountain W.O.R.K.S. Coalition, a nationally recognized substance use prevention organization that focuses on systems change and building resilient communities in South Phoenix and throughout Maricopa County. He is the 2021 recipient of the Arizona Innovation in Health Equity Award, and on this episode, he shares what it means to reshape systems of inequity and support communities with an equity lens. Not only is this conversation timely, it's necessary. We hope you'll listen in.To learn more: http://southmountainworks.org/To connect with Shomari: shomari@southmountainworks.org or harmreduction@southmountainworks.org

This show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate   Thank you for your continued support! Description:  In a time of climate catastrophe, genocide, mass incarceration and political turmoil, people need to work together – better! That's why lifelong activist Dean Spade has written “Love in a F*ed Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell, Together”. Which tools can help people and social justice movements face conflict and emerge stronger (rather than weaker)? Which stories do we tell ourselves that aren't helping us think — or act — in our best interest? In this timely conversation, Spade shares tips on how we might get our interpersonal houses in order so that we're better equipped to show up for others and the causes we care about. Spade is a lawyer, educator, and author of “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)”, and “Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics and the Limits of the Law”. He's the director of “Pinkwashing Exposed: Seattle Fights Back!”, and in 2002 he founded the Sylvia Rivera Law Project in New York City, a law collective that provides free legal services to trans and gender non-conforming people who are low income and/or people of color. He has useful things to say about romance too, which are worth bearing in mind, as the Valentine's marketing crush hits, as Laura reflects in her commentary. “. . . Most of us are taking in all the bad news by ourselves through a screen . . . One of the best things we can do to support our own wellbeing through the overwhelm is be with others, joining any kind of project in our communities, a creative project, a mutual aid project . . .” - Dean Spade“The typical self-help genre is very focused on the individual. It doesn't contextualize the kinds of suffering that everyone's going through in a broader feminist analysis, anti-capitalist analysis, anti-racist analysis . . . If we understand that our individual suffering is a bunch of bigger scripts, . . . it can be a little bit freeing.” - Dean Spade   Guest:  Dean Spade, Author, “Love In A F*cked-Up World: How To Build Relationships, Hook Up, And Raise Hell Together”, “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)” and more.   Watch the broadcast episode cut for time at our YouTube channel and airing on PBS stations across the country  Subscribe to episode notes via Patreon   Music In the Middle:  “We are Rising” by activist, singer and songwriter, Taína Asili.  She created the song for One Billion Rising's 2020 global campaign..  And additional music included- "Steppin"  and "All The Ways" by Podington Bear.

They asked her for a W-2 to “prove” her salary. Another leader got an offer $25,000 below what she already makes because of “parity.” And a third realised her wins were real but her language was costing her money. Those are not random stories, they are the exact moments where ambitious, introverted Black women get pressured to shrink their ask, accept a lower baseline, or undersell their impact.I'm Dr. Nicole Bryan, and I'm walking you through what came up inside my Name Your Number workshop and what needs to happen next if you want a higher salary, stronger total compensation, and an executive level promotion. ____Interested in working with me in my 1:1 private coaching program?  Let's talk...www.thechangedoc.com/bookacall
