6.11.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: FAMU Funding Fight Explodes. DeSantis Maps Stand. Fisk Data Center Backlash_For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (724) 264-8281 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/roland *Paid Partnership*_ It's known that for the last 30 years, states have underfunded historically Black land-grant institutions by $13 billion. Luckily for Florida A&M University, a federal appeals court has revived a lawsuit alleging that the State of Florida underfunded the HBCU by nearly $2 billion over three decades. We'll talk to the civil rights attorney handling the case. The proposed data center project at Fisk University is facing growing resistance from community members and HBCU alums. We'll also talk to Black Voters Matter's Chief of Staff about the launch of their multi-media series titled "Declaration of a New Nation." Florida's Supreme Court is allowing the maps drawn by Governor Ron DeSantis, designed to help Republicans gain up to four additional House seats. Bishop William Barber will be here to discuss the upcoming multi-state civic engagement campaign to recruit, train, and deploy leaders across the country. CNN's fact-checker has gone missing - he hasn't been on air for months. I wonder if it has something to do with the pending merger between Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount/Skydance? And in tonight's Shop Black Star Network-dot-com segment, The Rad Black Kids, an evolving clothing brand based in Portugal that is pushing for more ethical and sustainable clothing.

FAMU Basketball has done an amazing job of filling the roster board and on paper this team gives the Rattler faithful a ton of hope.

Alice Nellis studovala na konzervatoři hru na flétnu a zároveň anglistiku a amerikanistiku. Pak se obojím chvíli živila. Když potom ale nastoupila ještě na FAMU, pochopila, že se jejím světem stane film a divadlo. Začala psát scénáře, točit filmy, režírovat v divadle. A to nejenom činohru, ale také operní představení. V Černošicích, kde žije, má k tomu všemu navíc hotovou zvířecí farmu.
Many times all conversations about relationships come down to the quintessential question of how do we fund this operation. Well that question surrounds all of us who are in relations with HBCUs and more importantly for the FAMU supporter is; how do we fund this operation? Well we are to have FAMU's Major Gift Officer Marvin Green on today to talk about some of the ways in which he is looking to have Rattler Nation and beyond to provide scaffolding for this program.

Hey UN•THERAPIST,You know the deal, no intro, just vibes
Between the Orange Blossom Classic, Tip-Off Classic, Florida Classic & Andre Dawson Classic it has become very apparent that FAMU as a brand is still an attractive entity to those who are outside of the FAMU universe. Along with being a brand that is garnering the attention of many FAMU has seen players get offered and commit to wearing the Orange and Green. We always love to see that because a program is only as the talent it brings in. Fangs Up#FAMU #FangsUp #HBCU #HBCUdigital

CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 54 MIN. JEN NA HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR A HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIR „Neumím moc hovořit ve frázích,“ říká spisovatelka a moderátorka Halina Pawlowská, když mluví o tom, proč se z jejích bonmotů, knih, časopisů i televizních pořadů stal fenomén, který lidem zůstává v hlavě i po letech. Sama říká, že v jejích textech není „vata“, protože se k věcem dostává přes příhody, názor a pointu. A právě pointy podle ní stály i za slavnými radami z Banánových rybiček. „Nejtěžší v té radě je si říct ideově, co chci říct. A pak už hledám slova,“ vysvětluje. V rozhovoru se vrací k začátkům, k FAMU, k televizi i k tomu, že věci v jejím životě podle ní často vznikaly přirozeně. „Mě nic nehnalo,“ říká. „Dost mi to všechno šlo,“ dodává se smíchem, když mluví o práci, která se postupně rozrostla do 42 knih, televize, rozhlasu i časopisů. Mluví ale i o dětství, ve kterém ji matka nikdy nechválila. „Ona mě vždycky kritizovala a pochybovala o mě,“ říká Pawlowská a dodává, že doma se vlastně nechválí dodnes. Silně do rozhovoru vstupuje i její ukrajinská rodinná historie. „U nás byla hlavní téma svoboda Ukrajiny,“ říká a popisuje, že otec v Rusku vždy viděl obrovské nebezpečí. Když dnes slyší, jak část společnosti mluví o Ukrajincích, bolí ji to. „Někdy se stydím za to, co slyším,“ říká. Pawlowská mluví také o vážných zdravotních problémech, po kterých si musela připomenout, že má zvládnout žít. Popisuje, jak měla plicní kolaps a od té doby si život víc dávkuje, i když přiznává, že pořád nerada říká ne. „Teď je to pomaloučku, polehoučku,“ shrnuje svůj současný režim. Do rozhovoru ale výrazně vstupuje i smrt. Pawlowská říká, že v životě viděla tři své blízké lidi umírat - rodiče a manžela. Otec zemřel doma, manžel také, s maminkou byla hospitalizovaná na pokoji v nemocnici. „Byla jsem překvapená z toho, jak je ta smrt jednoduchá,“ říká. I proto dnes má ze samoty a umírání obavy. Na otázku, jestli vztah s manželem vydržel díky práci, ale odpovídá jednoduše: „Já myslím, že jsme spolu vydrželi, protože to byla láska.“ A mluví také o sexismu, který dřív neuměla pojmenovat. „Sundejte si kabát, ať vidíme, jaký máte talent,“ cituje větu, která se jí zaryla do paměti a dodává, že zpětně ji štve, co všechno musela vydržet. Přesto se i z bolestných situací často staly příběhy. „Potom jsem z toho většinou napsala nějakou povídku,“ říká. Proč se Halina Pawlowská bojí samoty víc než popularity? Jak se z ponížení, strachu a smutku stává humor? Co jí nemoc změnila v pohledu na život a proč by dnes byla podle svých slov mnohem větší feministka? Poslechněte si celý rozhovor.

Tallahassee has one hope for a championship baseball team this year and it all comes down to a Sunday game, but the only Gold that matters is the SWAC Championship.

While other schools may have wins or losses and it does matter; these wins and losses only matter if FAMU takes care of business. So before we get too excited about celebrating the losses of our rivals, let's keep our focus on things that we feel like we can control.

Host Dave Fiore sits down with Nicole Everett, creator and host of "Conversations with Nicole" — a Tallahassee-based show on YouTube that started as a series of weekly lunches with photos posted on Facebook. It grew into a platform with a Roku channel, a local TV run and an audience that has followed her through every evolution. Nicole has spent most of her adult life in rooms where people needed someone to really listen. Fifteen years at the Tallahassee Lenders Consortium helping first-time homebuyers get mortgage-ready and into their first homes. Seven years at Florida Housing Finance Corporation overseeing three statewide foreclosure programs. And a decade of sit-down conversations that have a way of going places guests never quite expected. She grew up in North Dade County — the first Black family on her block in a neighborhood that turned out to be as diverse in culture as it was in cuisine. FAMU brought her to Tallahassee, but her career and the community she experienced here made it home. "Conversations with Nicole" found her during a quieter season — after her son left for college and she started exploring, taking classes, going to poetry shows and just figuring out what came next. The answer was 10 seasons of the show and counting with episodes that impact the dialog in our community. Dave and Nicole talk about community, mental health, homeownership and what it really means to hold space for people — because for Nicole, the show was never really about production. It was always about the conversation. Show Notes Website LinkedIn YouTube Facebook Spotify Apple Podcast _________________________________ Thanks for listening to Tallahassee's Podcast.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week on the podcast I'm back in Accra, back on the Continent, just in time to commemorate African Liberation Day--Africa Day 2026. Last year around this time, my guest and I were preparing for our respective sessions at AfroTalks 2025 @ University of Ghana-Legon where we shared stories and proposed solutions centering the theme "HOW?" aimed at fostering critical introspection, sustainable community impact, and the amplification of African stories by Africans. I shared insights taken from our Future of Work salon series and featured Glocal Citizens specifically engaged in impact-driven solutions for us by us. My guest, Dr. Ashley D. Milton was part of a duo presenting The Triangle Offensive Policy. She joins us a year later to share how her work has progressed and her consortium prepares to release the The State of the Africa Diaspora Report, a first-of-its-kind continental grounding document examining how Africa and its global diaspora connect across mobility, investment, culture, skills, governance, technology, and development systems. The report brings together policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, creatives, and community stakeholders across Africa and the diaspora to shape a more coordinated and regenerative future. As a strategist, researcher, and systems builder working at the intersection of Africa, its global diaspora, and the future of regenerative economic development she is the Founder and Managing Director of She Grows It™ (SGI), a Pan-African consulting and investment migration advisory firm. Ashley leads work across green infrastructure, trade and industry, tourism and hospitality, diaspora engagement, governance strategy, and emerging technology systems designed to support long-term African growth and resilience. She has advised on projects ranging from IFC EDGE green building certification and sustainable development strategy to diaspora policy frameworks, investment positioning, and institutional ecosystem development. Her work consistently centers one core question: how do we build systems that allow African people, businesses, and communities to thrive across generations? Where to find Dr. Ashley? The Africa Diaspora Report On LinkedIn On Instagram What's Ashley watching? The Eyes of Ghana When Malcolm Smiled a film by Glocal Citizen Muhammida el Muhajir Other topics of interest: Africa Day Accountability and the March 2026 UN Resolution How the US justifies it's denial of the gravest crime against humanity.

I also talked with Hashimm Jones after the spring game, and we got to hear what his thoughts are on his role for the upcoming season. FAMU football received a postseason suspension for the 2026 season due to academic inadequacy. Chicago State only has 39 players and is not doing spring practices.

“I was never raised to think that there was something that I couldn't do.” That spirit lives all through this rich Detroit is Different conversation with Angela J. Sikes, Founder and Principal of Ruby Global Marketing Consultancy, and a proud daughter of Detroit whose journey stretches from Seven Mile and Cass Tech to FAMU, Georgetown, Under Armour, and some of the biggest brand strategy rooms in the country. Angela breaks down how a Black woman from a family rooted in HBCU legacy, education, music, and faith built a career at the intersection of “brand, creativity, culture and commerce,” while never losing the authenticity of home. In this episode, she reflects on Detroit roots, pop culture, data, storytelling, Boomerang, Black representation in marketing, mentorship, and why curiosity, courage, and critical thinking still matter in every room. Her story uplifts the preservation of Black history and family legacy while showing how Black cultural knowledge is not a side note, but a powerful asset that has shaped successful campaigns and opened doors for future generations. This is a powerful listen on precedent, purpose, and preserving Legacy Black Culture while building what comes next.

Alexandria Collins does not look away from the dark. She walks straight into it, eyes open, camera steady. A filmmaker shaped by Tallahassee soil and Los Angeles light, she builds stories that breathe with heat, faith, doubt, and desire. From her early work in Emotional Intelligence and Goals N' Shit to her newest chapters behind the lens, Alexandria has committed herself to character driven storytelling that asks harder questions. “We have to face our darkness and our light, not deny any part of ourselves,” she says. And she means it.Her horror short Reborn emerged from a vision. A young girl rises from baptismal waters with power humming beneath her skin. What followed was not spectacle, but excavation. Raised in the church and fluent in its language, Alexandria flipped the hierarchy of belief on its head, questioning who holds power and who decides what is holy. That vision found a home in Hulu's Bite Size Huluween series and opened new doors. She cites Ari Aster, Jordan Peele, and Stanley Kubrick as masters of tension, architects of dread. You can feel that influence in her work, but the voice is her own. Southern. Spiritual. Unafraid.Named to the 2025 directing cohort of Film Independent's Project Involve, Alexandria stands at the intersection of craft and calling. As Founder and Executive Producer of Supernormal Ventures, she shepherds stories from spark to screen, developing shorts, features, and pilots while collaborating with platforms like Hulu and Galatea TV. She has led marketing teams, produced award winning projects, organized festival strategy, and moved fluidly between art and execution. From the 39th Student Senate at FAMU to working alongside Taye Diggs on a vertical drama, she has learned how power moves in rooms. More importantly, she has learned how to move it with intention.In this episode of Visual Intonation, we sit with a filmmaker who listens to cicadas and sermons, who reads thrillers even when they terrify her, who understands that faith and fear share a heartbeat. We talk about religion and rebellion. About building worlds from a single image. About what it means to claim authority as a Black woman director in rooms not built for you. This is a conversation about tension. About tenderness. About facing the water and choosing to rise.Alexandria Collins:ALEXANDRIA COLLINSSource: IMDbAlexandria Collins - IMDbSource: InstagramAlexandria Collins (@acscollins) • Instagram photos and videoshttps://vimeo.com/alexandriacscollinsSupport the showVisual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vantegregory/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation

“God could not be everywhere, so he created Mothers.” This adage could not ring more true when it comes to the life of C.J. Taylor. Her life story could be made into an Oscar-winning biopic, and believe me, it's just a matter of time. She is a divorced single mom of three, an attorney, and a football coach with over 20 years of experience - she is the first female coach in the Snoop Dogg's youth football league, is the Former Director of Football Operations and Assistant Coach at Los Angeles Southwest College, and was an the Junior Varsity HEAD COACH and Assistant Coach on Varsity at Verbum Dei High School, a private all boys school in southern California. She has generated more than 45 millions dollars, sending hundreds of student-athletes to college on scholarships with over 300 NCAA programs including with Marist College, Univ. of Texas, TCU, Vanderbilt, FAMU, LSU, CAL, Boise State, USC, UCLA, Notre Dame, Syracuse and more. She has single handedly raised three tremendously successful children: her daughter Mi-Calynn is a California State Licensed Nurse who is on the front line during the COVID pandemic. Caylin is a 2017 Rhodes Scholar, 2014 Fulbright Scholar, D-1 Student-Athlete and graduate of Texas Christian University, 2019 graduate of Oxford University, a current PhD candidate, and author of the NY Times bestselling memoir, A Dream Too Big. Last but not least Chase Moore, an Archer Fellow, Children's Defense Fund recipient, and a recent D1Student-Athlete at the University of Texas at Austin victor of the 2019 Sugar Bowl, and member of the AFCA Allstate Good Works Team. Though the family has witnessed many glory days, life has not been easy. As written in an ESPN profile by Senior Writer Adam Rittenberg, CJ shares, "We used to have a five-bath, four-bedroom house and seven vehicles. We had what looked like the Cosby life. It was like a Monet: From a distance, it looked beautiful, but up close, it was all messed up." Inside those walls, C.J.'s now ex-husband, Louis Moore, was psychologically abusive toward her. She twice saw him physically abuse Caylin, who was just 2 at the time. In 2000, she left him, taking the children to live with her mother in Carson, on the border of Compton. She filed for divorce but still feared for their safety. She always told her kids: “We may live in the hood, but the hood doesn't live in us.”In 2004, she went to the hospital for heart surgery and came back in even worse shape. She was assaulted while being sedated, and later slipped into a depression. In 2009, her ex-husband was convicted of murder. He had a drunken argument with his girlfriend and fatally shot her with a rifle. After weeks of her kids feeding her and bathing her, her middle child told her, “Get up, Mom. You've got to live. You've got three kids. We need you!” That's exactly what she did and she continues to give every bit of her soul to her children every single day. Today, I am honored to welcome CJ Taylor and her youngest son Chase Moore to the show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
