In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley sits down with Brenda Tate, a trailblazer whose 40-year career with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police unfolded at a time when few women wore the badge and even fewer Black women were in uniform. Tate reflects on breaking barriers in the 1970s while navigating racism, sexism, personal loss and addiction — experiences she chronicles in her memoir, “Journal of a Black Woman in Blue: Navigating Abuse, Addiction, Racism, and Society.” Her story offers a candid look at survival, service and what it takes to rebuild trust, purpose and identity in policing. Handpicked for both witness protection and dignitary protection, Tate earned the confidence of department leadership during some of Pittsburgh's most challenging years. She helped establish the city's witness protection unit amid escalating gang violence, applying both tactical skill and lived experience to protect vulnerable witnesses. Later, her work in dignitary protection placed her alongside presidents, world leaders and civil rights icon Rosa Parks — assignments that highlighted the quiet responsibility and professionalism behind the scenes. For Tate, these roles were more than career milestones; they affirmed that perseverance and accountability can redefine both reputation and self-worth.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love sits down with Deborah Farone, one of the legal industry's foremost experts on law firm marketing, to discuss her new book Breaking Ground and the unique dynamics women lawyers face in developing a thriving practice. Drawing on interviews with 60 successful women rainmakers from around the world, Deborah explains how a lack of visible role models, unconscious bias, and confidence gaps can affect business development—but also how women can turn these challenges into strategic advantages. The conversation explores the importance of having a written business development plan, setting aspirational goals, building confidence, and using practical tools such as grounding exercises to overcome imposter syndrome and perform effectively in client-facing situations. Scott and Deborah also examine the concrete habits and systems that consistently drive long-term rainmaking success. From intentional networking and authentic relationship-building to leveraging empathy, listening skills, and personal interests as connection points, Deborah emphasizes that there is no single “right” way to develop business. Instead, successful women lawyers build practices that align with who they are, supported by simple systems, regular touchpoints, and disciplined follow-through. The episode concludes with clear action steps for professionals at any stage of their career: carve out time to define a vision, actively nurture a professional network, and take immediate action to move one relationship—or opportunity—forward.

Today, Morgan, Martha, Jamil, and Andrew unpack the implementation of the Israel-Hamas peace agreement. The first phase includes the return of Israeli hostages, the exchange of Palestinian prisoners and limited Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Jared Kushner has also returned to the diplomatic stage—a possible sign for the Trump administration's plans for the region. But major questions remain about Hamas's disarmament, Gaza's long-term governance, and the durability of a ceasefire.Can this plan truly hold, or is it just another fragile truce in a long line of short-lived deals? Will the United States sustain pressure on both Israel and Hamas to implement each phase? And with Kushner's return and growing regional buy-in, could this moment mark not only a breakthrough in Gaza but a broader turning point for Israel-Arab normalization?@morganlroach@marthamillerdc@jamil_n_jaffer@AndrewBoreneLike what we're doing here?

Our Summer 2025 series, Beside Still Waters, focuses on the places where creativity brings life into a world fatigued by brokenness and division. From jazz to Jane Austen and in between, this season we're focusing on the ways literature and the arts can refresh and challenge our inner lives—and connect us with the Creator of the good, the true, and the beautiful.Today's episode concludes our summer series. Our guide today is the acclaimed writer Marilynne Robinson, author of the Gilead series, and much else. In this episode, originally an Online Conversation recorded in 2020, Marilynne reflects on the art of writing as a means of exploring truth and engaging questions around learning to live well, to love others, and to create a home and community, in our fractious world:“The unique brilliance of a human being … is something that we tend utterly to disparage, demean, utterly fail to notice … every person lives out a [life] beautiful, complicated, inaccessible to other consciousnesses. And it is sacred.”And if this conversation resonates with you, consider joining the Trinity Forum community as a member, at ttf.org. You can find the full video of this conversation there too.
