Gen X Amplified with Adrion Porter: Leadership | Personal Development | Future of Work
For this very special episode of Gen X Amplified, I have the pleasure of being joined by Ebony Flake, Business Journalist for ESSENCE. What makes this conversation extra amazing is that Ebony graciously featured me in a story she wrote last year as a full-page profile for their annual Men's print Issue. The story was titled “Gen X Leaders Are Dominating the C-Suite” and it featured insights on how the middle generation is now holding the keys to the boardrooms and shaping the future of work for everyone. Well, this episode is all about EBONY FLAKE, and her inspirational and intentional career journey. And I couldn't wait to feature her on the podcast, and spotlight her journey as a perfect example of true mid-career mastery. In this episode, Ebony and I unpack: Ebony's discovery of her passion for writing that became the spark for her career path Some of the early inflection points and external advocates that helped propel Ebony for a successful career in journalism and writing for ESSENCE The various lessons from Ebony's corporate and leadership experience that became valuable throughout her journey Why she is a passionate advocate for the experiences and opportunities of the underrepresented, particularly black women in corporate and entrepreneurship Why Gen X is the generation that is well suited for meaningful leadership in today's ever-changing world of work And more!

Our public school system in Detroit has a lot of needs. Not just for the district itself, but as a lot of families don’t have money, a lot of programs that kids in the suburbs just do? Well, they don’t in Detroit. Like travel and fees to robotics competitions, for instance. Often in the suburbs, parents pick that up. In Detroit, often, the families don’t have the money. Here’s some context. The median household income in the city of Detroit is less than $30,000 a year. Statewide, it’s nearly $55,000. It’s not just about what the district itself gets per student in state funding, but the impact of poverty on families and educational outcomes. Mix that with all of the other challenges big city districts have here in Detroit and around the country and there’s a lot to deal with. So my conversation today is with Pamela Moore. She’s the president of the Detroit Public Schools Foundation, a non-profit that works to raise money and give grants to the Detroit Public Schools Community District and non-profit organizations that provide programming to Detroit students.
