This week hosts Tiffany Cross and Angela Rye are joined by special guest-host: Roland S Martin (of Roland Martin Unfiltered). Roland is one of the most vital sources of independent news for the Black community; his YouTube channel @rolandsmartin has 1.8 million subscribers and counting. Today’s show kicks off with Trump’s attacks on the Blacksonian (National Museum of African American History) and the massive protests against him over the weekend. A lot of folks are complaining about the Trump administration but we don’t see enough doing; Roland says younger generations are “withdrawing from the bank of justice” without making any deposits. How do we help Black folks battle the apathy and feel their agency? Tariffs–tariffs for everyone! Or not? Let’s be 100% clear y’all: tariffs are a tax that WE will pay. Our hosts explain how tariffs work, why they were put in place, and who benefits (SPOILER ALERT: it’s not us). Male enrollment at HBCUs is hitting historical lows, mirroring attendance at colleges nationwide. This represents a failure to engage men in the educational process that starts well before college. The hosts discuss causes, impacts, and potential solutions. Host Andrew Gillum is out this week. He’s on a field trip with the kids to NASA. Have fun Andrew! And of course we’ll hear from you!

In this powerful episode of Boss Talk, Dizzy and Jelani return to break down the headlines they won't give you the full truth about. From social media crackdowns to generational struggles in the workplace—and even the hidden racism baked into your favorite board game—this one's packed with facts, fire, and real talk. Tap in! TOPICS COVERED: 1. TikTok in Danger Again? With Trump extending the ban deadline for a second time, the future of TikTok in the U.S. is on shaky ground. We break down the legal, political, and global implications.    2. Gen Z is Struggling in the Workplace Gen Z graduates are being fired just months into their first jobs. Employers blame work ethic—Gen Z blames poor leadership and outdated corporate culture. We break down both sides. Bosses are firing Gen Z grads just months after hiring them.   3. Why Are Black Men Skipping College? HBCUs are reporting their lowest Black male enrollment in 50 years. Are we witnessing a shift in values—or is it a response to deeper systemic issues? IHBCUs report lowest Black male enrollment in 50 years .   4. The Truth Behind Monopoly That classic board game has a dark history. From its origins as a warning against capitalism to its layout reflecting real-life segregation, Monopoly is deeper than most realize. We break down: • How the cheapest properties represent real Black and immigrant neighborhoods • How the game mirrors redlining and racial capitalism • Why it was originally meant to criticize the system—not glorify it    The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein • The Atlantic City Historical Society • The Root & Smithsonian Magazine COMMENT BELOW: Which topic hit home the most for you?    Are Gen Z expectations off—or are employers stuck in the past?  What do you think about the real history of Monopoly?    Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE this episode if you rock with Boss Talk!

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this compelling episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow engages in a powerful conversation with guest Keyshawn McMiller about a crucial yet often overlooked issue: the inadequate teaching of Black history in public schools. Together, they explore the role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as essential cultural touchstones and living museums that preserve Black heritage.Gabrielle and Keyshawn share personal experiences that highlight the significance of connecting Black students with their roots through HBCUs. They examine how school curriculums frequently misrepresent or omit vital aspects of Black history, focusing predominantly on narrow topics like slavery and the Civil Rights Movement, while neglecting the rich tapestry of Black achievements and narratives.The discussion also addresses recent political debates concerning restrictions on teaching race, gender, and critical race theory, emphasizing the detrimental effects of "classroom censorship" on all students' understanding of history. Keyshawn illustrates how HBCU campuses serve as experiential learning environments, offering mentorship opportunities that traditional education often fails to provide.Join Gabrielle and Keyshawn as they advocate for a more inclusive and truthful approach to Black history education, empowering the next generation to embrace their heritage and advocate for change.

This approach has allowed her to drive significant change, from improving HBCU visibility to securing new corporate and foundation partnerships.

Dr. Felecia Commodore and Dr. Demetri Morgan join host Heather Shea to discuss the latest threats to higher education and what comes next. This episode was recorded at 5:11 p.m. ET on Thursday, March 27th. Over the past few weeks, we've tracked how the Trump administration is dismantling the Department of Education and weaponizing federal funding to reshape colleges and universities. This week, three major developments add to the urgency: a proposed overhaul of the federal student loan system that could gut borrower protections, escalating attacks on diversity, equity, and free speech on campus, and the critical role professional associations are playing as higher ed's last line of defense. As institutions navigate these pressures, the key question remains—who is prepared to fight back? Tune in for a deep dive into what's at stake and what resistance might look like.

Let's, let's go to the news and see what we're unpacking. Over the past several weeks, we have tracked several different stories. We're going to pick up on some of those themes today. We've tracked the dismantling of the Department of Education, the weaponization of federal funding as key strategies being used by the Trump administration to reshape higher ed. This week, I have three major developments that kind of build on these themes. First, the student loan system is facing a radical overhaul. Trump is proposing to shift federal student loans to the Small Business Administration. This is alarming for me, not just because I think the SBA lacks the infrastructure to manage student aid, but for me,

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on the White House's refusal to oblige court orders halting its deportation planes, Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, Trump's brutal deportations, NIH's scrubbing of mRNA research grants, Trump's bombardment of Yemen, Schumer's book tour, dropping Democratic popularity, DOGE cuts to Los Alamos, Trump's reversal of Biden pardons, the Voice of America, and the court-ordered rehiring of federal employees, before diving a little deeper into Senator Schumer's capitulation to Trump and the GOP's budget push. Next, they highlight the immediate result of Schumer and Senate Democrats' affirmation of the Trump/Musk agenda, as the Trump regime spent this weekend expanding their regime of brutal abductions and inhumane migrant abuses, looking to the illegal flight of migrants to El Salvador (and the corresponding Twitter promos), and the recently released video by the ACLU of ICE's abduction of Mahmoud Khalil. They also dissect Schumer's reflections on voting “yes” to advance the Elon/Trump GOP budget, exploring his willing adoption of the Trump Administration's framing of the “Continuing Resolution,” his eagerness to let GOP Congresspeople shirk any responsibility for the Trump/Musk agenda, and the damage the vote has wrought on the Democratic Party itself – including the Party's record-low approval rating and the growing divide between Senate leadership and the Party caucus. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Chris Murphy blatantly refuse to state his confidence in Chuck Schumer's leadership and unpack Batya Ungar-Sargon's insane argument for “MAGA Leftism” on Bill Maher. Pete Thiel and Dave Rubin mock HBCUs for being “dumb,” Mimi from Colorado has a PSA for ICE operations in Colorado and the importance of trusting librarians. Craig from LA explores the defense of Social Security in Congress, and Ben from Memphis on Kyle Rittenhouse's speaking appearance at the University of Memphis. Chuck Edwards explains his alignment with Trump's imperial goals, and Perry from Lexington touches on the GOP's major roadblock to trans healthcare in Kentucky with HB-495, plus, your calls and IMs!

How many times have you heard us say that Black Girl At A PWI isn't just about where you go to school but the predominantly white spaces that we exist in societally? If you're wondering where this episode is going, just now we go THERE. With our special guest Jordyn Clark--a Howard University graduate--this episode is dedicated to the Black Girls thinking about HBCUs, attending HBCUS, at PWIs, and just existing in majority white spaces. Per usual, we leave almost no stone left unturned--bridging the gap between two experiences worthy of not being so mutually exclusive.

Josh and David tackle religious mandates in schools, calling out multiple bills trying to force Ten Commandments displays and "Judeo-Christian prayers" on students. David, a devout Christian himself, finds these proposals "patently offensive" and contrary to true religious freedom.The hosts dig into Gov. Kay Ivey's power struggle with the Veterans Affairs board, suggesting a compromise where she could fire the commissioner but would select candidates from a board-approved list rather than turning it into just another political appointment.Rep. Terri Sewell doesn't hold back on the "chaotic" federal budget cuts hammering Alabama. From Medicaid to community health centers to Social Security, she warns these services face devastating impacts while the wealthy get tax breaks. Sewell outlines Democrats' strategy of "litigating, legislating, and mobilizing" to fight back.Freshman Congressman Shomari Figures brings fresh energy to the discussion, criticizing the administration for using "a chainsaw when a scalpel is needed." He points out the $2 trillion deficit framework somehow finds money for tax cuts for the wealthy but not for everyday Americans. Figures also calls out Elon Musk's "conflict of interest" and slams targeted cuts affecting HBCUs.The show wraps with Josh and David defending Avette Dunn, a dedicated lunchroom worker fired after eight years of exemplary service for accepting an anonymous donation to help feed kids.
