In this enlightening episode of STEMulating Conversations, Dr. Q sits down with Samaad Wes Keys, PhD, a passionate advocate for education and a Senior Program Officer at the Gates Foundation. Samaad shares his inspiring journey—from his early days as a classroom teacher in New Jersey to now shaping national strategies that uplift Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). With humor and insight, he discusses how his lived experiences inform his work and his dedication to ensuring equity and excellence in higher education. Samaad unpacks the unique strengths and enduring impact of HBCUs, and why they remain a vital force in shaping brilliance and innovation. He also reflects on the power of mentorship, the importance of culturally affirming spaces, and the need for intentional investment in institutions that have historically done so much with so little. Whether you're an educator, policymaker, student, or simply someone who cares about the future of equitable education, this episode will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to support the mission of HBCUs in a new way.

In this episode of 'Three Brothers No Sense', the hosts discuss a range of topics from the burning of a historic plantation in Louisiana to a daring prison escape in New Orleans. They express excitement over the upcoming Superman movie while critiquing the trend of disappointing sequels in Hollywood. The conversation shifts to the representation of HBCUs in media, particularly in black sitcoms, and the ongoing Diddy trial, where the defense's approach is highlighted. Finally, they delve into a documentary about the Vietnam War, emphasizing the need for a more honest portrayal of historical events in education. They examine the complexities of historical narratives, the evolution of patriotism in America, and the challenges of parenting in a modern context. They discuss the emergence of the woke movement as a response to historical whitewashing, the shifting perceptions of patriotism, and the balance between guiding children towards success versus allowing them to pursue their passions. They explore the balance between encouraging children to pursue their passions while also ensuring they have a solid foundation for their future.Keywordsplantation fire, prison escape, Superman trailer, movie sequels, black sitcoms, HBCUs, Diddy trial, Vietnam War, cultural commentary, entertainment news, woke movement, historical narratives, patriotism, national identity, education, parenting, success, happiness, American history, cultural perspectives, education, parenting, financial stability, career choices, parental guidance, community development, gender roles, urban revitalization, children's aspirations, legacy

In this powerful episode of Verbally Effective, American writer, professor, editor, and social commentator Roxane Gay joins Ena Esco for an intimate conversation that spans identity, intellect, and influence. Roxane reflects on her upbringing in Omaha, Nebraska as the daughter of Haitian immigrants, and how those roots shaped her voice as a writer and cultural critic. We dive into the evolution of feminism, her current role as a professor at Rutgers University, and why she believes HBCUs are more vital than ever. Roxane also shares bold thoughts on artificial intelligence—and why she's not impressed—plus details on her exciting new romance novel project with none other than Channing Tatum.

Historically Black colleges and universities have played a vital role in educating generations of students. But today, enrollment among Black males at HBCUs is at its lowest level since the mid-1970s. Studies indicate that when Black men disengage from HBCUs and higher education, the consequences are far-reaching. We examine the impact, why this is happening, what schools are doing to combat it and more.

In this episode, Money on the Left shares audio from "The Black University & Community Currencies,” a public workshop convened by Professor Andrew J. Douglas at Morehouse College on April 25, 2025. This episode presents Part 1 of the workshop. It features an introduction by Professor Douglas and two panels. The first panel is titled “What is Public Money?” (Delman Coates, Scott Ferguson & Benjamin Wilson. The second asks: “What is the Uni Currency Proposal?” (Scott Ferguson & Benjamin Wilson). Money on the Left will release audio from Part 2 of the workshop within a few weeks' time.Description:In the late 1960s, in the context of the Black Power movement and amid calls to develop Black Studies programs at many US colleges and universities, Black student activists and radical intellectuals sought to imagine a more revolutionary "Black University," an institution or network of institutions dedicated entirely to Pan-African study and research. This workshop revisits the theory and vision of the Black University. It foregrounds questions of political economy—ranging from the theoretical critiques of capitalism and empire that inspired the Black University concept to more practical questions about financial viability and the "business model" of a revolutionary Black institution. And it considers how an emerging school of heterodox economic thinking—what has come to be known as Modern Money Theory—might inform a renewal of the Black University and its commitment to Black community building.This comes at a time of great crisis in US higher education, especially at HBCUs. Students are unsustainably indebted, encouraged to think of their education as little more than a private economic transaction or "return on investment." Schools, increasingly desperate for funding, are made to compete for private capital, often in ways that compromise their ability to serve even the nominally progressive aspects of their missions. Surrounding neighborhoods have become little more than sites of extraction, sources of low-wage labor and opportunities for land speculation, otherwise walled off from the very institutions they are made to sustain. More broadly, democratic questions about what kind of society the university is meant to serve or what kind of society we want an education for are rarely if ever addressed. Meanwhile, fascism's dramatic resurgence is renewing questions about whether Black institutions can rely on even minimal support from white society. In many ways, we appear to face some of the very same conditions that inspired the vision of the Black University more than a half century ago.What would it mean to renew the theory of the Black University? What are the challenges involved in building the Black University from within today's HBCUs? How might we reimagine the financial architecture of the university and its commitment to surrounding communities? How might new thinking about public money and banking-heterodox ideas about credit creation, public investment, jobs programs and the mobilization of community resources inform such a reimagining? How might HBCUs experiment with the creation of complementary currencies? And does this new thinking go far enough, or does it reflect simply a recommitment to the structures of domination and exploitation imperial state projects, the logic of capital, the instruments of antiblack violence that the Black University concept was always meant to expose and challenge?Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley Christopher. She is a multifaceted individual: a dedicated mother to her son, Ryan, a CEO, an attorney licensed in Pennsylvania, and a stroke survivor. She founded the HBCU Week Foundation in 2017 with a mission to promote enrollment in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), provide scholarships, and create pathways for students from undergrad to corporate America. HBCU Week, a central initiative of her foundation, aims to immerse high school students in the history and legacy of HBCUs, encouraging them to consider these institutions for higher education. The cornerstone of the program is a unique college fair where students can gain immediate acceptance and scholarships based on their eligibility. To date, the event has facilitated over 10,000 on-the-spot acceptances and awarded nearly $100 million in scholarships, partnering with organizations like the NFL and Capital One. Notably, Ashley spearheaded a substantial partnership with the American Chemistry Council, which will provide 1,000 $40,000 scholarships for students pursuing STEM majors at HBCUs. As a proud alumna of HBCUs, having attended Howard University and the University of the District of Columbia Law School, Ashley is deeply committed to guiding young people toward higher education opportunities. She views her role as crucial in demonstrating that success is attainable from HBCUs. Above all, her favorite role remains that of a mother, guided by her faith and the belief that she can inspire others while advancing her own career.

4.10.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: House passes SAVE Act, MAGA budget blueprint passes, HBCU Talladega College,Black Voters Matter doc Two crucial votes out of the House today...The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility or SAVE Act is a major voter suppression measure that, if it becomes law, will disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. A budget blueprint for the MAGA agenda passed the House after Republican leaders scrambled to convince GOP holdouts who want deeper spending cuts to back it. We'll discuss how this budget could dismantle social security. An Alabama HBCU rebounds from financial struggles. Talladega College Interim President Dr. Walter Kimbrough will be here to explain how his stable leadership is providing a bright future for one of Alabama's oldest HBCUs.

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!

Today, we unpack the NFL's latest moves: Does paying Geno Smith signal that Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders are ready to pass on Shedeur Sanders? We step into Deion and Shedeur Sanders' world. Would you step up to help Shilo Sanders or let him fend for himself? In the NBA, we debate Nikola Jokic's legacy — only one championship, no All-Star teammates. Does he still crack the top 20 of all time? Plus, we're asking the tough questions: Why do stars like Anthony Edwards seem to dodge condoms and accountability? Later, TJ Moe joins the show to discuss the challenges plaguing black culture, including the ripple effects of Austin Metcalf's murder and the potential fallout ahead. Then, Shemeka Michelle drops by to stir the pot, exploring why more black students are choosing predominantly white state schools over HBCUs. ​​Today's Sponsors: Relief Factor With Relief Factor, you'll feel better every day, and you'll live better every day.
