In this episode, I interview Sharon Hurley Hall, an anti-racism activist, author and educator. I was so impressed with the articles I read of hers, that I reached out to ask her to be a guest on the show and she said yes. It was a great conversation, talking about some of the terms being used in racism that people could be more thoughtful and deliberate about, such as global majority and intentionally disadvantaged. We discussed some of Sharon's pet peeves in the doing the work and what it means to be an active anti-racist, rather than a passive "not a racist." Sharon also shared some resources for people who want to educate themselves. She recommended The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson, Elizabeth Leiba's https://www.blackhistorycultureacademy.com/about (Black History and Culture Academy), and https://www.antiracismnewsletter.com/ (Sharon's own Anti-Racism Newsletter). She is also involved with the https://diverseleadersgroup.com/ (Diverse Leaders Group), working to create a world based on equity for all. You can also purchase her newly released book, https://sharonhh.com/ (I'm Tired of Racism) on Amazon.

I can't wait for you to meet Dr. Ricky L. Jones, chair of the Pan African Studies department at the University of Louisville, Kentucky - one of the oldest in the country, nearing fifty years in existence. In a time where anything related to Black history is being attacked as CRT, you gotta know this is an especially tough time for him and his department. Like my discussion with Elizabeth Leiba, our conversation took twists and turns as we discussed everything from why his current state of Kentucky is DNV (as in do not visit), the obstacles he faces trying to keep Black faces and Black voices at the university, why he believes all Black folks should go to college, and his theory that white people are Black people's children. We had a great time, and even had a WHOLE other discussion as we tried to wrap up with his definitions of Blackness and his Black heroes. He delivers the toughest ideas with a little bit of bless your heart, and y'all know what that phrase means. I hope you learn, challenge yourself, and grow listening to his VERY interesting thoughts and views. Let's go!

What does it mean to talk Black? To talk while being Black? In a world where whiteness is the default, and proximity to whiteness is the standard of what is "good" and "acceptable", my guest Elizabeth Leiba is having NONE of that. We had an energetic and passionate conversation about everything from code switching as a survival mechanism (which can be traumatic), the stereotypes and tropes that Black folks get assigned, what "talking Black" is and isn't, and her harrowing tale of being arrested and dealing with the legal system over the course of several YEARS in order to clear her name. She also shared the inspiration behind the Black History and Culture Academy (https://www.blackhistorycultureacademy.com/), a website full of powerful, easy to digest lessons on all aspects of Black History.Liz Leiba is a force to be reckoned with, so make sure you follow her on LinkedIn (where she currently has over 100,000 followers). I know you'll be a fan of her straight shooting, take no prisoners approach to what it means to be true to yourself as a Black person in a white world. Let's go!

Welcome back to America's leading higher education podcast, The EdUp Experience! In this episode, your guest is Traci Snowden, CEO & Founder, Apto Global, and your sponsor is the EvoLLLUtion! Traci founded Apto Global to facilitate a better cultural experience for international students. Apto Global is a social learning platform for guiding those who need to cross-culturally interact, travel, or relocate, so they can feel at home no matter where they are or who they're with. Through social learning interaction, Traci discusses that Apto also puts the power to teach, share and learn just about anything, through the lens of authentic culture and language, back into the hands of the local people. This means content can be real-time, relevant, hyper-local, and empower equity. Want to give your international students (any students!) a better experience? Improve recruitment, retention, and graduation with APTO! Apto Global was founded in late 2015, by CEO, Traci Snowden, who provided concierge services to expat families relocating to the United States. These families needed to adapt across not only the traditional barriers of language but also cultural differences in hyper-local communities, workplace and academic environments. Traci started Apto because she and her clients knew exactly what they needed – a platform where users could share and learn local culture and language via authentic, immersive video…yet no one had built it.

Elizabeth Leiba inspires me to go above and beyond, a LOT. I was drawn to her last summer when I was in the depths of personal and national despair and her content on LinkedIn pulled me through many days when I was just sure I could not do it anymore. So I just knew she was going to be one of my stars of Black LinkedIn, and she was prominently featured in The New York Times article on the subject. I have no doubt she does this for countless others every day on LinkedIn, and now she is doing it through her Black History and Culture Academy. It's a series of courses about Black culture in America and beyond, and EVERYONE can learn from it. We talked about why it's important to keep pushing to do more in these critical times and why the status quo just won't do.
