Bernadette Atuahene initially moved to Detroit, Michigan to study squatters rights. But she discovered a more urgent issue once there— that many Black residents were losing their homes. The reason was property tax foreclosure, and it came as a result of property taxes that were illegally inflated. It’s one of several racist housing policies that shapes who does or doesn’t have generational wealth in the U.S. This hour, we’re talking about government policies that impact the homes and neighborhoods people live in. GUEST: Bernadette Atuahene: Professor of Law at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. Her new book is Plundered: How Racist Policies Undermine Black Homeownership in America.

The United States spends more on healthcare than any other high-income country, yet we have some of the worst population health outcomes. Our health care system is designed in such a way that racial and ethnic disparities are inevitable, and the differences are extreme: the life expectancy difference between white women and black men is over a decade. How can we fix the system to ensure health care equity for all?  A new National Academies report called Ending Unequal Treatment: Strategies to Achieve Equitable Health Care and Optimal Health for All tackles this question. Building on a 2003 report on racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare, the new report finds that little progress has been made in closing those equity gaps over the past two decades. On this episode, host Sara Frueh talks to Georges Benjamin, cochair of the report committee and executive director of the American Public Health Association. They discuss how the health care system creates disparities and how we can fix them.  Resources:  Read the National Academies reports on health care inequality: Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care (2003), and Ending Unequal Treatment: Strategies to Achieve Equitable Health Care and Optimal Health for All (2024)

Moving the needle on health care access and health disparities is no easy task.

A deep and wide ranging conversation with sociologist Jessica Calarco, focusing on educational disparities, class privilege, and social inequities. Key topics included the hidden curriculum in schools, the role of community colleges, and tax policies aimed at economic equality. The conversation began with a focus on the gap between the privileged and the marginalized and the differences in class and race and what the research reveals as well as the question of the effect of inequities on immigrants, the ongoing influence of neoliberal Austrian economists beginning during the New Deal emerged as did the role of tech inequities in education. Charter schools were discussed in the context of inequities and so was the role of patriarchy and the need for a diverse educational workforce and overemphasis on ivy league schools. Professor Calarco also spoke of how she conducts her research and the role of both trade schools and community colleges. She critiqued corporate profit motives, worker exploitation, and the decline of labor unions, proposing policy measures like access to essential services and equitable care responsibilities. She also spoke of the consequences on education of Citizens United and provided Insights on paid leave and work-hour limits, with a preview of future research on evangelical Christianity's impact on social safety nets. She concluded with three core changes in policy to pursue to reduce inequities.

This installment of The Axis Effect continues the conversation with Shanil Ebrahim, Partner and the National Life Sciences and Healthcare Consulting Leader at Deloitte Canada.

This installment of The Axis Effect features the return of Shanil Ebrahim, Partner and the National Life Sciences and Healthcare Consulting Leader at Deloitte Canada. In a world with constantly evolving technology, healthcare finds itself at the forefront of innovation. Yet, despite the innovations, the inequality in access to said healthcare becomes worse on a consistent basis. Thankfully, the world has taken notice, and numerous groups all around are working to close the gap of disparity.  Ebrahim discusses some of the underlying causes for these issues, how telemedicine can allow healthcare access for individuals who are geographically separated from physical healthcare centers, why healthcare should be a fundamental right, and possible solutions for lower-income countries where healthcare access is minimal.

Takeaways Lucy Howell started her business, FamilySync Media, as a virtual assistant after leaving her job as a dental nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic. She rebranded her business to focus on working with parent-based businesses and offers services such as podcast management and social media. Lucy hosts the podcast Balancing Business and Babies, in which she interviews parents about how they manage work and parenting. She opens up about her struggle with infertility and how she eventually became a mother, emphasizing the importance of mindset and finding inner peace. The adoption process can be long and complicated, and reform is needed to make it more efficient and accessible. Many good and genuine people want to become foster parents or adoptive parents, but the current system makes it difficult for them. The lack of universal healthcare in the United States makes the concept of free IVF in the UK mind-boggling. Societal expectations and cultural narratives often place a high value on women based on their ability to bear children, which can be detrimental and unfair. Working parents often face challenges and are disadvantaged by government systems and policies, such as childcare costs and custody battles. There is a need for positive change and support for families and a shift in societal attitudes towards families and parenting.

The Doctor is enthusiastic about transforming our healthcare system to one that is community-centered, relationship-driven, and with a whole health approach.Our healthcare system is built on a foundation of old ideas that often don't support all humans to thrive, she says. While working as a physician in the system, she felt isolated and unable to make any significant changes on her own. So, she created a platform to network healthcare workers and support so they can share ideas and resources to change our healthcare system from the inside. She knows that if we collaborate and have a shared vision, we can rapidly change the system through various projects funded by donors and sponsors who are aligned with mutual vision.https://www.linkedin.com/in/athena-hall-md-3952b6278/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Welcome back to your Daily Detroit, your all-local podcast sharing what to know and where to go in Southeast Michigan. First, a shout-out to Mickey Lyons, who recently brought us a 1930s Detrola tabletop radio. Detroit has a rich history of manufacturing beyond cars, including radios for the working person. This beautiful piece now has a special place in our studio. We talk a little about the fascinating history of Detroit's manufacturing legacy and how it has shaped the city's identity beyond the automotive industry. Everyone on the team is getting their chance at reactions to the national presidential news. Fletcher and I discuss the implications for Detroit and Michigan, given Biden's past support for the area. We explore how this decision might affect local policies, federal support, and the political landscape in Michigan. Fletcher shares his perspective, noting the significance of Kamala Harris's candidacy as the first African American and Asian American woman major presidential candidate. He emphasizes the importance of broader demographic support for her campaign.  We also touch on the excitement within his community, particularly among members of sororities and fraternities like the AKA, to which Kamala Harris belongs. This endorsement has sparked a wave of enthusiasm and pride, and we explore the cultural and social impact of her candidacy on these communities. And finally, we discuss a piece by Outlier Media, look at auto insurance reform and how it hasn't really mean savings for cities like Detroit and communities of color.

Why do we travel? Obviously, sometimes we do it to go to work or visit family.  But lots of us also do it for fun, becuase we can.  And we naturally presume that' it's an unalloyed good.  But is it? My guest, whose new book ‘Airplane Mode' explores some of the complexities and contradictions of travel and tourism, is Shahnaz Habib. She's a writer and translator, but intriguingly, isn't a travel writer or affiliated with the travel industry, which means she can approach the subject with a unique perspective.  IIn the book and in our discussion, you'll hear all about passport privilege, how those of us with first-world passports can travel relatively freely while others with less powerful ones struggle.Discover how the creation of guidebooks, their online successors, and social media have influenced our travel choices in ways that aren't necessarily always good. We also explore the politics of mobility, whether travel is always necessary or indeed a good thing, its environmental impact, the role of the tourism industry in shaping our travel desires, and the often-overlooked mundane aspects of travel that contribute to our overall experience. This isn't an episode about why you shouldn't travel — Shahnaz was on vacation while we recorded it — rather, it's about questioning why and how we do it.   AI generatedTimestamped Summary [00:00] Introduction and welcome[00:45] Shahnaz introduces herself and her background [02:00] The inspiration behind “Airplane Mode”[06:00] Discussing ‘passport privilege' and its implications [14:00] The environmental impact of travel[19:00] Questioning the necessity of travel and ‘wanderlust' [25:00] The history and influence of guidebooks on travel[32:00] Embracing the mundane aspects of travel[38:00] Shahnaz's personal travel principles [46:00] Reflecting on travel inequities and geopolitical impacts[56:00] Closing thoughts and future work Links Airplane Mode - https://books.catapult.co/books/airplane-mode/ Shahnaz's website - https://www.shahnazhabib.com/

The dual challenges of mental illness and lack of affordable housing are pressing issues in this election year. In March, California voters narrowly approved Proposition 1, which allocates $6.4 billion to construct new housing and treatment facilities for people with mental illness statewide. But will this measure truly benefit this vulnerable population? Professor Neil Gong delves into the history of mental health treatment in the U.S. and how it has shaped our current system and policy conversations. He tells stories of people he met through his research to highlight the stark differences between mental health care available to the wealthy and the poor, and explores potential policy changes to address the intertwined challenges of homelessness and mental health.  For more of Neil Gong's work: Read his recent book, Sons, Daughters, and Sidewalk Psychotics: Mental Illness and Homelessness in Los Angeles Check out his opinion piece on Proposition 1 in the Los Angeles Times  Read his analysis on the Housing First strategy in The American Prospect   

In this episode of “Healthy Mind and Light,” host Avik welcomes Sequoyah Sherrill, a licensed marriage and family therapist, psychotherapist, author, breakthrough coach, and mental health advocate. Sequoyah shares her personal journey into the mental health field, which began with the loss of her mother at a young age and the cultural reluctance to seek therapy. She discusses the stigma and shame associated with mental health in the black community and emphasizes the importance of education and awareness to overcome these barriers. Sequoyah highlights the common misconceptions about mental health, particularly the confusion between mental health care and mental illness. She stresses that taking care of one's mental health does not imply a mental illness and that everyone should be proactive about their mental well-being. The conversation also touches on the health inequities in mental health care, especially the lack of access to culturally competent therapists within the black community. Sequoyah points out the crucial role of cultural competency in treatment and the strategies she employs to educate the public and raise awareness about mental health. Throughout the episode, Sequoyah underscores the power of community and collaboration in her work as a mental health advocate and the challenges she faces in balancing personal life with the demands of her profession. The episode is a deep dive into the nuances of mental health advocacy and the efforts to address stigma and health inequities in the black community.

In this enlightening clip of EYL, hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings engage Vice President Kamala Harris in a deep dive into the current administration's efforts to foster economic opportunities for all, particularly focusing on communities of color. VP Harris discusses several pivotal issues, starting with the economic opportunity tour initiated from her interactions with entrepreneurs at the White House, aimed at amplifying awareness about available resources.The Vice President highlights the administration's success in reducing Black unemployment to historic lows and discusses their broader agenda to not just create jobs but also to enhance opportunities for wealth generation across communities. She acknowledges the guidance and influence of Ambassador Andy Young and emphasizes the combined focus on civil rights and economic agenda to achieve true equality.Further delving into historical disparities, VP Harris addresses systemic issues like redlining, biased home appraisals, and the inequitable implementation of the GI Bill benefits among Black veterans. She also outlines concerted efforts towards improving access to capital through initiatives like the Economic Opportunity Coalition and adjustments to policies affecting student loans and medical debt, aiming to lessen economic burdens and promote fairness.Troy Millings steers the conversation towards the role of urban renewal policies and their detrimental effects on communities of color, to which VP Harris responds with insights into how the administration's infrastructure bill aims to mend such historical fractures, citing specific plans for Atlanta's infrastructural rejuvenation that seeks to reconnect communities and boost local economies.Join us on this informative journey that not only sheds light on government initiatives but also ignites hope for equitable economic futures.*Hashtags:* #EYL #VicePresidentHarris #EconomicOpportunity #TownHall #KamalaHarris #CommunityDevelopment #InfrastructureBill #EquityAndInclusion #UrbanRenewal #HistoricInequities #EconomicGrowth #SocialJustice #PolicyChange #GovernmentInitiativesOur Sponsors:* Check out Harry's : harrys.com/EYL* Check out Monarch Money: monarchmoney.com/MONDAYSSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
