Western democracies are haunted. Michael Hanchard suggests that the specter of race is what haunts our democracies, but it may be more accurate to suggest that they are haunted by their own racialized death machines—by racialized premature death. If this haunting is not adequately attended to, democracies cannot fulfill their function. Even W. E. B. Du Bois, whose lynching-as-crucifixion stories are important among the stories of Black peoplehood and represent an important attempt to reckon with death in democracy, did not attend to the haunting. But many innovative Black female democrats did. Black women face a crisis of premature death. They are 10 percent of the US female population yet represent 59 percent of women murdered. Their deaths are most often instances of intimate partner violence and occur in private, whereas most large-scale Black political mobilization centers on deaths that are “spectacular.” The centrality of spectacular death has functioned to marginalize Black women in the stories of Black peoplehood and has ensured that they are not the main beneficiaries of large-scale Black political mobilization. But the dearth of mobilization around the deaths of women has not stopped Black women from attending to that which haunts our democracy. Moreover, it is not simply Du Bois's abolition democracy toward which the women have worked. Their work has involved experimentation with novel democratic forms, and we should think about that work—their methods and the substance of their contributions—within the framework of “Morrisonian truant democracy,” which provides the solution to the problem of mobilization.

Send us a textAmanda DuBois was once told she was nothing more than a doctor's wife who should stop dabbling at the law. Instead of shrinking, she built one of Washington's longest standing women owned law firms, created a workplace that supports and mentors women, founded a nonprofit that has helped change more than twenty five state laws, and became an award winning author who writes about injustice in the legal system.In this episode, Amanda talks with Aggie and Cristy about confidence, self doubt, trauma informed leadership, and how she turned rejection into a thirty year career of purpose and impact. She shares the early challenges of entering a male dominated profession, why she chose to start her own firm, how visualization shaped her success, and the work she is doing today to support formerly incarcerated women and mothers.This conversation is powerful, honest, and encouraging for any woman who has ever been underestimated or told she could not do something.Show NotesIn this episode you will hear: • How a negative comment pushed Amanda to start her own law firm • What it was like to practice law in a male dominated industry in the 1990s • Why her nursing background influenced her trauma informed approach • How she built a mentorship model that supports young women attorneys • The story behind Civil Survival and how it has changed laws for justice impacted people • How she began writing legal thrillers and why she uses fiction to highlight real problems faced by women in prison • Her perspective on confidence, courage, and the limits women place on themselves • Why women need to support each other in business and funding • The advice she would give to any woman considering a career change or new ventureKey quotes: • “Be brave. Hold the vision. Believe in yourself.” • “Your craft is your product. Become excellent at it.” • “Empathy and transparency are strengths in leadership.”Resources: • DuBois Levias Law Group: www.duboislaw.net • Civil Survival: www.civilsurvival.org • Camille Delaney Mystery Series by Amanda DuBois • Amanda's YouTube channel The Ripple Haven: https://www.youtube.com/@AmandaDuBois206Guest Contact InformationAmanda DuBois Founder and Managing Partner, DuBois Levias Law Group Author, Camille Delaney Mystery SeriesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-dubois-2b46071 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amandadubois206 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amandadub--- Subscribe and ReviewIf you loved this episode, drop us a review, share it with a badass woman in your life, and subscribe to Badass Women in Business wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm back and happy finally able to share my thoughts and feelings about some stuff I've been going through.I talk a little about the issues in Tanzania but I unfortunately don't know enough to get more into depth.I then go into my critiques around an article that's been going around recently about how selling solar panels in Africa is 'Solarpunk'.Finally, I share some thoughts I've had as I've begun learning more about W E B DuBois. I end with a call to become more self sufficient as humans by integrating both practical trade skills, as well as a love and understanding of scientific knowledge.
Arise Africa, Roar China: Black and Chinese Citizens of the World in the Twentieth Century (University of North Carolina Press, 2021) explores the close relationships between three of the most famous twentieth-century African Americans, W. E. B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, and Langston Hughes, and their little-known Chinese allies during World War II and the Cold War--journalist, musician, and Christian activist Liu Liangmo, and Sino-Caribbean dancer-choreographer Sylvia Si-lan Chen. Charting a new path in the study of Sino-American relations, Gao Yunxiang foregrounds African Americans, combining the study of Black internationalism and the experiences of Chinese Americans with a transpacific narrative and an understanding of the global remaking of China's modern popular culture and politics. Gao reveals earlier and more widespread interactions between Chinese and African American leftists than accounts of the familiar alliance between the Black radicals and the Maoist Chinese would have us believe. The book's multilingual approach draws from massive yet rarely used archival streams in China and in Chinatowns and elsewhere in the United States. These materials allow Gao to retell the well-known stories of Du Bois, Robeson, and Hughes alongside the sagas of Liu and Chen in a work that will transform and redefine Afro-Asia studies. Hettie V. Williams Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of African American history in the Department of History and Anthropology at Monmouth University where she teaches courses in African American history and U.S. history.

Les noms de famille n'ont pas toujours existé. Pendant des siècles, dans la plupart des sociétés, on se contentait d'un seul prénom. Mais quand les populations ont commencé à croître, il est devenu difficile de distinguer tous les “Jean” ou “Pierre” d'un même village. C'est alors qu'ont commencé à apparaître, dès le Moyen Âge, les noms de famille, d'abord en Europe, pour préciser l'identité d'une personne. Et la plupart de ces noms viennent de quatre grandes origines : le métier, le lieu, la filiation et une caractéristique physique ou morale.1. Les noms issus du métierC'est l'une des sources les plus courantes. On désignait les gens par ce qu'ils faisaient : Jean le Boulanger, Pierre le Charpentier, Jacques le Berger. Avec le temps, ces surnoms sont devenus des noms de famille transmis à leurs enfants. En France, on retrouve par exemple Boulanger, Marchand, Charpentier, ou Berger. En anglais, cela a donné Smith (forgeron), Baker (boulanger) ou Taylor (tailleur).2. Les noms liés à un lieuD'autres personnes étaient identifiées par leur origine géographique. On disait Marie de Lyon ou Guillaume du Bois. Ces mentions sont devenues des noms de famille : Delacroix, Dupont, Dubois, Deschamps. En Italie, on trouve Da Vinci (“de Vinci”, le village natal de Léonard). Ces noms reflètent souvent l'endroit où vivait l'ancêtre — un pont, un champ, une rivière — et servent encore aujourd'hui de témoins de l'histoire locale.3. Les noms patronymiquesCertains noms viennent directement du prénom du père. En France, cela a donné Martin, Henry, ou Laurent. Mais dans d'autres langues, on l'exprime plus clairement : en anglais, Johnson signifie “fils de John”, Anderson “fils d'Andrew”. En Russie, Ivanov veut dire “fils d'Ivan”, et en Islande, ce système est encore vivant : le fils d'un homme nommé Olaf s'appellera Olafsson, et sa fille Olafsdóttir.4. Les noms descriptifs ou surnomsEnfin, beaucoup de noms de famille venaient d'un trait physique ou de caractère. Petit, Legrand, Lenoir, Leblanc, Fort, ou Lemoine décrivaient une particularité, parfois flatteuse, parfois moqueuse. En Allemagne, Klein signifie “petit”, et en Espagne, Delgado veut dire “mince”.Peu à peu, ces surnoms se sont transmis d'une génération à l'autre, devenant héréditaires à partir du XIVᵉ siècle environ. Ainsi, les noms de famille sont de véritables fossiles linguistiques : ils racontent l'origine, le métier ou le caractère de nos ancêtres, et forment une mémoire vivante de notre histoire collective.

Dans le sud-ouest du pays, au cœur du bassin du Congo. Une région verdoyante, considérée comme le deuxième plus grand massif forestier tropical au monde, véritable poumon vert du continent africain. Cette forêt joue un rôle essentiel : elle régule le climat, abrite une biodiversité exceptionnelle, et fait vivre des millions de personnes. Mais aujourd'hui, cet écosystème unique est en danger. Exploitation forestière, agriculture extensive, braconnage. Faute d'activités génératrices de revenus, de nombreuses communautés se tournent vers l'exploitation intensive de la forêt. Résultat : la déforestation s'accélère, le climat se dérègle, les saisons changent, et les produits de cueillette disparaissent peu à peu À lire aussiRDC : au coeur de la déforestation

That can feel like a threat to your freedom, your income, or your control.But what if the right partnership expanded your possibilities instead of limiting them?In this episode, I sit down with two of my past coaching clients, Abbie DuBois and Scott Allen, who have built a mutually beneficial joint offering.They share how they met through this podcast (I am so honored to be part of their story) and how they organically grew from one conversation to a fully functional collaboration, without sacrificing their individual practices.We unpack how they brainstormed, pressure-tested their idea, went to market, and ultimately signed joint clients. You'll hear how they use divide-and-conquer tactics for business development, how they structure contracts and compensation, and how they manage capacity between solo work and joint projects.They don't hold anything back.If you've ever considered working with another consultant or dismissed the idea entirely, this episode will challenge your assumptions.What you will learn in this episode:[05:12] How an organic connection led to a formal partnership and why they never forced the outcome[08:44] Why complementary skills are the key to building a synergistic joint offer[13:22] How they used surveys and iterative testing to identify a viable niche (value-based care)[17:40] Their client acquisition approach and why they focused on building reps together first[23:55] How they structure contracts, fees, and incentives in a way that preserves autonomy and ownership[30:41] What's next: retainer models, advisory boards, and leveraging AI for scalabilityTune in to Episode 242 to hear the behind-the-scenes of a successful partnership model that preserves independence and accelerates growth.Mentioned Resources1) Full Show Notes: https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-242/2) Find Abbie DuBois: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abbie-dubois 3) Find Scott Allen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-allen-b06b6b5/ 4) Melisa's Free Resources, Books, Planners & Journals: https://linktr.ee/melisaliberman5) Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 172 - Filling Your Pipeline, Landing Ideal Consulting Clients, and Turning Away Work with Abbie DuBois Want help achieving your consulting business goals?

What if the most powerful lesson your students learn isn't in your curriculum—but in your character?In this reflective and deeply human episode, Jocelynn explores what W.E.B. Du Bois called the “double consciousness”—and how that internal tension shapes what we model as educators. Students aren't just learning from our words; they're watching our pauses, our reactions, our silence, and our joy.This is an episode about mirror work—the quiet, ongoing practice of modeling courage, joy, humility, and humanity. It's not about perfection. It's about presence.From classroom culture to leadership choices, Jocelynn weaves in powerful quotes from Baldwin, Freire, and Octavia Butler, plus a call to revisit our earliest memories of power, apology, and grace. This episode will stay with you.Key Themes:What students learn from teacher behaviorThe emotional power of modeling courage, joy, and imperfectionThe “unspoken curriculum” in every classroomReflection as liberationThe AnchorED for Achievement framework in practiceReflective Prompts:Reflection – What do students learn about justice by watching me?Community – How am I shaping the unspoken climate of my classroom or school?Norms – What behaviors or mindsets have I normalized—intentionally or not?Empowerment – When have I modeled what it looks like to speak up?Agency – How do I invite student feedback on how I show up?If you're ready to begin or deepen your mirror work, Jocelynn offers coaching and workshops designed to support reflection, recalibration, and intentional modeling.Learn more at https://customteachingsolutions.com

American intellectuals always seem to believe they are living through the end times. From the fascist poet Ezra Pound in the 1930s to the historian of fascism Timothy Snyder today, they flee America in despair. In Seekers and Partisans,, Boston University historian David Mayers tells the story of these exiled thinkers between 1935 and 1941 — what he calls “the crisis years.” But crisis… what crisis? Compared to Germany, Russia, or even Western Europe, America's troubles were relatively modest. So is history repeating itself nearly a century later? Are today's “Trumpagies” — intellectuals disillusioned with Trump's America — the second coming of Ezra Pound and his fellow seekers and partisans of the interwar years?1. History doesn't repeat — but it rhymes.Mayers argues that the wave of “Trumpagies” today — intellectuals leaving America out of despair — echoes but doesn't duplicate the 1930s exodus. Americans have long fled home in search of moral or political clarity abroad, though their motives shift with each crisis.2. The 1930s “crisis years” were more imagined than real.While Mayers' book Seekers and Partisans frames 1935–1941 as “the crisis years,” he notes that America's troubles then were mild compared to the totalitarian catastrophes of Europe. The panic, he suggests, often existed more in the minds of intellectuals than in the republic itself.3. Idealism and delusion often go hand in hand.Figures like Ezra Pound, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Anna Louise Strong reveal how moral passion can curdle into political blindness — from fascist sympathies to uncritical faith in communism or empire. Smart people, Mayers observes, can “get things dreadfully wrong.”4. The duty isn't to flee — it's to stay.Asked what lessons apply to Trump-era exiles, Mayers insists the responsible act is not flight but persistence: to “stay here and salvage the situation.” The illusion, he says, is that “things are all that brilliant elsewhere.”5. The American Dream includes its disillusionments.From the 1930s “seekers and partisans” to today's disenchanted academics, the impulse to escape America reveals as much about its promise as its failures. The intellectual's panic, Mayers suggests, is part of America's enduring struggle to understand itself.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

For many decades, practitioners and scholars of foreign policy used to refer to “the West,” but today, for the most part, they don't. What happened to the idea of “the West”? Michael Kimmage, a professor of history at Catholic University, wrote The Abandonment of the West: The History of an Idea in American Foreign Policy to trace the rise and decline of this concept from the late nineteenth century through the present day. In this podcast discussion, Kimmage discusses the idea of the West — as a geopolitical and cultural concept rather than a geographic place. He analyzes how it developed intellectually, with the widespread adoption of neoclassical architecture and Western Civilization curricula in American universities, and geopolitically as the U.S. rose to global leadership after World War II and during the Cold War. Kimmage also addresses critiques of the West (and its legacy of racism and imperialism) as advanced by critics like W. E. B. Du Bois and Edward Said. He argues that concept of “the West,” despite its flaws, still matters, and explains why he's concerned about the tendency to erase or discard the Western tradition entirely rather than engaging with it critically. Michael Kimmage further relates his experience of serving as director of the Kennan Institute, a program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, which was liquidated in January 2025 by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (or DOGE), and the consequences of the government cutting itself off from international exchange and expertise in the development of U.S. foreign policy. He also expresses his belief that institutionalists — the people who believe in the value of institutions and operate in them — have to do a better job of explaining and justifying what they do: “If the population feels that these institutions are elitist and out of touch and misguided and unnecessary, then it doesn't matter how much somebody like me values them, it's not going to work.”

Frustrated with the decline of Reconstruction, author and intellectual W.E.B. DuBois organized the greatest African American minds of the early 20th Century to form the Niagara Movement. After its first conference held in Canada, the movement's first meeting in the United States was a symbolic and landmark event at Harpers Ferry, and it would resonate to this very day.

Living longer is one thing. Living well is another. In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Bobby Dubois, we unpack the final three pillars of his blueprint for longevity: mind-body harmony, heat & cold exposure, and social relationships. Dr. Bobby explains why practices like meditation, breathwork, and even walking in nature can calm the brain and lower anxiety. We also explore the science-backed benefits of sauna and cold plunging—and what's hype versus what's real. Finally, we uncover why social connection is the single strongest predictor of living a long, healthy, and fulfilling life. If you want practical, evidence-based ways to boost your health, not just your longevity, this episode shows you how to put it all together. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How meditation and breathwork improve brain and heart health. Why saunas reduce risk of heart attack and stroke. The science behind cold plunges and their impact on mood and happiness. Why social connection is the strongest predictor of longevity, even more than exercise. How to be your own “quarterback” for health and wellness instead of hiring multiple coaches and gurus. Show Notes: HowardBailey.com/522
