In this episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, Dr. Lola Adeyemo sits down with technologist, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and Avatar Buddy co-founder Stephanie Sylvestre for a conversation that goes far beyond artificial intelligence.Growing up in Belize, Stephanie imagined one day returning home to help build her country's future. But when an unexpected political shift changed those plans, she found herself on a different path—one that led from corporate technology leadership to entrepreneurship, community impact, and ultimately building AI solutions designed to empower people rather than replace them. Along the way, her experiences across cultures, industries, and communities shaped a leadership philosophy rooted in one belief: technology should always serve humanity. Together, Dr. Lola and Stephanie explore how our identities, lived experiences, and values influence the way we approach innovation, leadership, and the future of work. They discuss why the most valuable skills in the age of AI are still deeply human, how organizations can embrace emerging technologies responsibly, and why curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking will remain essential as workplaces continue to evolve.This conversation isn't simply about AI.It's about the people who build it, the values that guide it, and the humanity that must remain at its center.In This Episode, We Discuss Stephanie's journey from Belize to technology leadership  How identity and lived experience shape innovation  The role of AI in transforming—not replacing—the workplace  Why human skills matter more than ever in the age of AI  Responsible AI and the importance of human oversight  Resourcefulness, creativity, and critical thinking as future-ready skills  Building technology that amplifies people instead of replacing them  How AI can expand access, opportunity, and social impact  Leading organizations through technological change  Practical advice for professionals preparing for the future of work About the GuestStephanie Sylvestre is a technologist, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and Co-Founder of Avatar Buddy, an AI company helping organizations eliminate bottlenecks—not people—through human-centered artificial intelligence. With more than three decades of leadership experience spanning technology, operations, nonprofit leadership, and innovation, Stephanie has held executive roles with organizations including The Children's Trust, Burger King, Subway, Hewlett-Packard, and Avatar Buddy. Today, she helps leaders and organizations embrace AI responsibly while ensuring people remain at the center of innovation. Learn more about Stephanie and her work:

Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU, is back! Last time,  she told us serving your country can mean enlisting as an educator, a line we still bring up constantly. We cover a lot of ground in this conversation: why personal responsibility beats collective grievance, how socialism and communism sell real problems with fake solutions, a teacher's union resolution instructing teachers not to tell parents when a student is transitioning, intersectionality as what Marissa calls "victim bingo," and why PragerU ended up on the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate map alongside Charlie Kirk.  Summarized timestamps 02:42 – The founding principle: personal responsibility vs. collective grievance, and "the bigger the government, the smaller the citizens 07:13 – Why socialism keeps winning young people over — real problems, fake solutions 15:57 – Case study: why a young family can't afford to raise kids in New York (rent control, tort law, regulation) 20:15 – The "education industrial complex": inside the books training teachers — Lessons in Liberation and Cultivating Genius 22:31 – The term "adultism" defined, and what it does to parental authority 24:52 – The AFT resolution: teachers told not to tell parents when a student is transitioning 27:11 – The California law letting a 12-year-old consent to gender-affirming care without parental notice 33:59 – Why parents look away: "it's not my child" and the cost of that thinking 38:34 – Intersectionality as "victim bingo" — how kids get recruited into causes that have nothing to do with their lives 45:18 – PragerU as a target: the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate map, Charlie Kirk, and repeated platform takedowns 49:36 – Is PragerU "right-wing propaganda"? Marissa's answer, and the story of the $1 million donor who set out to expose them Quotes: "The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen." — Marissa Streit "Socialism, I oftentimes say, is communism with lipstick. It's the same thing — the government's going to fix things for you by stealing everything from you, and then everybody ends up equally poor." — Marissa Streit "God wanted the Israelites who made it to the promised land to be a people who recognized that freedom isn't free. It comes with a sacrifice, but it's a sacrifice worth making." — Marissa Streit "A socialist and a communist will take a truth we all recognize, but they'll give you a solution that is a lie." — Marissa Streit "They're defining adultism as adults having power and rights to decide what young people's boundaries should be — and young people should go along with what adults say. They're defining it as tyranny." — Marissa Streit, on the term found in Lessons in Liberation "See the connection, how the unions are breaking the relationship with parents? The word 'outing' — you out somebody, you snitch on somebody. They know it's a negative thing, but they're saying the parent shouldn't know." — Marissa Streit, on the AFT resolution "It's getting worse because good people are not fighting against it." — Marissa Streit "Essentially that's what intersectionality does — it says find the victim within yourself, and now you can join the group. Once you join, there is no tolerance for diversity of ideas, only an expectation that you abide by communist and socialist values." — Marissa Streit "It's 100% a political cult. It's a cult and it has different tentacles." — Polina on intersectionality "Van Jones said recently the DSA is on the ground knocking on doors, and we're not gonna fix this until people commit." — Polina "Go to PragerU and make your own opinion. We're not in an era where you have to rely on the AFT, the NEA, or the New York Times to tell you what to think." — Marissa Streit https://www.prageru.com Books referenced: Lessons in Liberation: An Abolitionist Toolkit for Educators; Cultivating Genius (Scholastic) Follow us on Instagram  @thecuriousmiddlepod Our Website: https://curiousmiddlepod.com Email us: thecuriousmiddlepod@gmail.com Substack: https://curiousmiddle.substack.com

In this episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, Dr. Lola Adeyemo sits down with speaker, author, former Apple and Xerox sales executive, and transformational coach Lauretta Zucchetti for a deeply personal conversation about identity, self-worth, resilience, and the courage to rewrite the stories we've inherited about ourselves.Growing up in Italy, Lauretta learned early how family dynamics, cultural expectations, and childhood experiences quietly shape the way we see ourselves. As an immigrant who later built an extraordinary corporate career in the United States—including becoming one of Xerox's top sales representatives and working with Apple Computer International—she discovered that external success does not always heal internal wounds.Together, Dr. Lola and Lauretta explore how early conditioning influences our confidence, relationships, leadership, and career choices. They discuss the hidden pursuit of approval, rebuilding after profound personal loss, and the lifelong journey of choosing authenticity over expectation.This conversation isn't simply about reinvention.It's about finding the courage to stop living someone else's story and becoming the author of your own.In This Episode, We Discuss Growing up in Italy and navigating traditional gender expectations  Building a successful career as an immigrant in the United States  Rising through Xerox and Apple Computer International  How childhood conditioning shapes adult decisions  The difference between seeking approval and practicing self-loyalty  Rebuilding after adversity and personal loss  Confidence, authenticity, and leading from alignment  Why success without self-worth can still feel empty  Breaking inherited patterns and limiting beliefs  Choosing a future that reflects who you truly are About the GuestLauretta Zucchetti is an international speaker, author, transformational coach, and former sales leader with Xerox and Apple Computer International.

In this episode of Philanthropy Speaks, we revisit a workshop the Community Foundation of Greater Flint co-hosted this summer called A More Perfect Union: From Isolation to Intersectionality, held as the nation approached the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Host Lynn Williams, Director of Equity and Community Engagement at the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, sits down with Delma Jackson III, founder of the Sankofa Project for Social Justice and senior fellow at the Center for Whole Communities.Jackson, a facilitator, writer, and lecturer on social justice who has brought his work to campuses and conferences across the country, grounds the conversation in Sankofa philosophy, the idea that the past lives with us in the present and guides how we build the future.Tune in to learn how intersectionality connects histories of indigenous genocide, slavery, and Jim Crow, why Jackson argues a more perfect union cannot be built through denial, and what it really means to move from isolation toward solidarity. From somatic practice to street-level rebellion to the everyday work of checking our own biases, discover why Jackson believes justice work starts wherever you already are.Learn more about the Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation initiative at https://www.cfgf.org/trht and about the Sankofa Project for Social Justice at https://www.delmajackson.com.Support the show

Intersectionality has quietly become the unseen driver behind today's divisive education policies, anti-American sentiments, and campus radicalization. This week on Freedom to Learn, we are re-releasing our episode featuring William A. Jacobson, Cornell Law School professor and founder of the Legal Insurrection Foundation. He sounds the alarm on this dangerous ideological “mother's milk” that feeds […]

WHAT IS “WOKENESS”—AND HOW DOES IT COMPARE WITH A BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW?In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul D. Weaver interviews Dr. Neil Shenvi, author of Postwoke: A Biblical Vision of Race, Gender, and Sexuality, for an in-depth discussion about woke ideology, critical theory, intersectionality, cultural Marxism, and the challenge these ideas present to the Christian worldview. Dr. Neil Shenvi shares his remarkable journey from skepticism to faith in Jesus Christ and explains how the very tools he learned in a class designed to challenge Christianity ultimately helped him see the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. He also discusses the intellectual and personal barriers he had to overcome before taking Christianity seriously. The conversation then turns to the ideas behind contemporary “wokeness.” What does the term “woke” actually mean? Where did it come from? How is it connected to critical theory and neo-Marxism? Dr. Shenvi explains the core concepts of critical theory, including the social binary of oppressors and oppressed, hegemonic power, lived experience, and social justice. The discussion also examines intersectionality and how identity categories such as race, gender, class, sexuality, and physical ability are viewed within contemporary critical theory. Dr. Shenvi explains how these ideas influence culture, education, churches, and the way people understand truth and authority. Dr. Weaver and Dr. Shenvi also discuss the importance of understanding these ideas carefully rather than simply reacting to them. They explore why Christians should examine primary sources, recognize where certain theories may contain elements of truth, and then evaluate those ideas through the lens of Scripture. Finally, Dr. Shenvi explains why he wrote Postwoke as a more accessible follow-up to his earlier work, Critical Dilemma, and how Christians can respond to cultural confusion with truth, wisdom, humility, and grace.

In this episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, Dr. Lola Adeyemo sits down with educator, researcher, and founder of Working with Delia, Delia Saenz Skinner, for a deeply personal conversation about identity, belonging, education, and what it means to come home to yourself after years of learning to survive.The conversation begins where every episode of Thriving in Intersectionality begins—with identity.Delia reflects on the intersecting experiences that have shaped her life as a woman, daughter, teen mother, formerly undocumented immigrant, educator, and community leader. She shares how those identities influenced not only the opportunities available to her, but also how she learned to see herself and navigate systems that often required her to hide parts of who she was.From arriving in the United States without speaking English to spending nine years completing community college while raising her daughter, Delia's story is one of persistence, purpose, and profound transformation.Today, through her consulting practice Working with Delia, she helps educators, leaders, and mission-driven organizations reconnect with themselves through rest-centered leadership, embodied practices, and sustainable ways of serving others.This conversation isn't simply about overcoming adversity.It's about remembering who you were before the world told you who you needed to become.In This Episode, We Discuss Growing up between cultures and identities  Navigating education as a formerly undocumented student  Becoming a mother while pursuing higher education  The hidden cost of constantly proving yourself  Why belonging sometimes requires unlearning  Rest-centered leadership and sustainable impact  Working with educators, youth, and mission-driven organizations  The difference between surviving systems and reclaiming yourself  Why rest is not quitting—it is regeneration  Creating workplaces and communities where people can thrive About the GuestDelia Saenz Skinner is an educator, researcher, program strategist, and founder of Working with Delia, a rest-centered facilitation and consulting practice supporting educators, innovators, and community-based leaders engaged in high-impact, mission-driven work.Drawing from more than a decade of experience across K–12 education, higher education, community organizations, research, and leadership, Delia designs restorative professional learning experiences that help individuals and organizations reconnect with their wisdom, sustainability, and purpose.

In this episode we talk to Will Snell from the Fairness Foundation, he talks about his time working within government departments, building The Fairness Foundation and why it's important to talk about intersectionality, in this country. Here's the link to The Fairness Foundation:Fairness Foundation

On June 30th, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that states can bar transgender girls and women from competing on girls' and women's teams. Six to three. It's now the law in over half the country.   And however you feel about that ruling, here's what we noticed in the days after it came down: almost none of the coverage actually talked to a transgender kid, or the parent raising one. It was all policy. All abstraction. It is a decision that, on paper, is about Title IX and biological sex and constitutional interpretation.   But underneath all that legal language is something much more personal: real kids, real families, real teams, and real decisions about who gets to belong. And let's not forget: argued by people who've never sat across from an eight-year-old who already knows she's going to be treated differently.   So we went back into our archive. A while back, we sat down with a remarkable mom, Jaime, raising a transgender daughter in Florida. And more recently, we talked with Schuyler - you might know him as Pink Manta Ray - a multiethnic Korean American trans educator, the first transgender Division 1 athlete on a men's team while at Harvard, and author of He, She, They:    How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters.   We're combining pieces of both conversations into one episode, because we think you need both things right now: Jaime's story, to feel it - and Schuyler's clarity, to know what to actually say and not say when it comes up in your own life. These aren't talking points. These are ways to simply see the humanity in each other. Please listen, and share widely.   What to listen for:   Intersectionality, and Schuyler's own experience growing up biracial    The importance of exploring why you are who you are – for ALL of us – when it comes to gender   The quick takedown of the arguments from people working to push trans women out of women's sports  A bullet-pointed list of what NOT to say to transgender folks   How to remind yourself of joy and a sense of thriving in the world, when it gets rough  What Schuyler wants cisgender, heterosexual women to do differently, once you listen to the episode   About Schuyler:   Schuyler Bailar (he/him) is an educator, advocate, and bestselling author who made history as the first transgender athlete to compete in any sport on an NCAA Division 1 men's team. Originally recruited to swim for the Harvard women's team, Schuyler made the difficult choice to transition while potentially giving up the prospect of being a women's NCAA Champion. His story has appeared everywhere from 60 Minutes to The Washington Post and The Ellen Show. Schuyler's tireless advocacy has earned him numerous honors, including Forbes 30 Under 30  and the Out 100. In 2023, Schuyler's critically acclaimed nonfiction bestseller became the preeminent resource on trans inclusion: He/She/They: How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters. Schuyler's works include his middle-grade novel Obie Is Man Enough, his online gender literacy training LaneChanger.com, and his hit podcast Dear Schuyler, including exclusive interviews with trans icons and allies like Lia Thomos, Dylan Mulvaney, Rafael de la Fuente, and many more.    Follow Schuyler on Instagram @pinkmantaray     About Jaime: Jaime Jara is a woman who wears many hats. A native New Yorker, she navigates daily life in Florida with her husband, 3 kids, and a plethora of furbabies.  She lends her voice and perspective as a parent of a transgender child to shed light on the challenges faced by the trans community. Jaime is an active member of the national LGBTQ organizations that aim to empower and support parents of LGBTQ children. After a long stint in corporate America, Jaime is putting her graduate degree to good use by starting her second career as an educator. She has been a guest speaker at schools, participated in panels and research studies, and appeared on television to advocate for transgender acceptance and inclusion. She has penned numerous essays about her journey with her trans child.  Jaime aspires to be signing copies of her bestselling novel one day, when she finally slows down enough to write it.    You can follow her journey with her family on Instagram@Jaidonna19.    Resources:     PFLAG National    Mama Dragons    National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network (NQTTCN)     Trans Lifeline - 1-877-565-8860    Human Rights Campaign    Stand With Trans    Black Trans Advocacy Coalition    Trevor Project Lifeline -  1-866-488-7386    GLAAD    "I can't even get my kids to eat vegetables, let alone change genders…" - Jaime Jara   

In this week's episode we are joined by researcher and author Dr. Terrell J.A. Winder for a powerful conversation on the intersections of identity, stigma, and self-worth among Black queer men in Los Angeles. Grounded in Terrell’s work, we explore the earliest moments many Black queer folks come to understand their bodies as “problems” and how those messages are shaped by institutions like churches, schools, healthcare systems, and everyday public life. We also talk about their new book "Shameless" and how we all can imagine new pathways toward healing and liberation. We want to hear from you!

How can we design equitable employee benefits? Employee benefits dictate far more than basic health coverage – they're a fundamental indicator of financial security, holistic health, and overall workplace equity. Traditional plans often default to nuclear family frameworks that inadvertently disqualify equity deserving groups. By moving away from static, one-size-fits-all perks and implementing a strategic DEI lens, organizations can leverage usage data to build flexible coverage systems that shift from basic administrative compliance to a true corporate culture of human belonging. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with Kristin McCartney, Director of People & Culture at J.L. Richards & Associates. They discuss how employers can transition to data-driven, flexible frameworks when creating benefit plans. Kristin breaks down enhancements that benefit employees who are S2LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, Indigenous, first-generation professionals, or who practice certain religions. She argues that designing benefits for all signals a deeply supportive culture.

Recorded live at SocialWest 2026 in Calgary, Jessica Lortie, Head of Marketing at Toast, joins host Lindsay Smith to dig into one of the most persistent and underreported gaps in the Canadian tech and marketing industries.Toast is a tech HR firm dedicated to closing gender gaps in the sector, working with organizations to diversify their hiring pipelines and running a community platform that gives women in tech the belonging, sponsorship, and psychological safety that workplaces often fail to provide.Jessica shares the data behind a pay gap that tripled between 2016 and 2024, why masculine-coded job titles are quietly filtering women out before they even apply, how Toast's Champions Program is training men to advocate for women in the workplace, and why community might be the most underrated career acceleration tool available to women in tech right now.The gap is real. The data is clear. And the playbook for closing it is already being written.

Few academic concepts have travelled as far as intersectionality. Coined nearly four decades ago, it transformed how we think about race, gender, power, and inequality, while also becoming one of the most debated ideas of our time.We were thrilled to welcome Kimberlé Crenshaw, legal scholar, author of Backtalker: An American Memoir, co-founder of Critical Race Theory, and the person behind intersectionality.Drawing on both her personal journey and decades of academic work, we explore the origins of intersectionality, the backlash against Critical Race Theory and what the ongoing debates around race, identity and democracy reveal about the United States and Europe today.

In this episode of The Body GrieversⓇ Club, Bri interviews Ashantis Jones, a counselor and ASM-certified personal trainer, about healing body image and movement through an intersectional, weight-inclusive lens. Ashantis shares how her eating disorder recovery, later neurodivergence diagnoses (ADHD/autism traits and ARFID), and experience with fibromyalgia shaped her approach to care, emphasizing that diagnoses can be useful but aren't always required to provide support. They discuss body positivity as a social justice movement, how privilege and systemic oppression—including racism, fatphobia, ableism, and capitalism—shape access to care and eating disorder treatment, and why decolonizing mental health matters. Ashantis explains that weight-inclusive fitness can look the same as weight-centric training, but focuses on functional goals, accommodations, rest, and building body trust rather than weight loss. 06:38 Recovery Origin Story 11:47 Eating Disorder Realizations  13:19 ARFID ADHD Nuance  15:58 Diagnoses And Shame  19:34 Intersectionality Basics 24:10 Decolonizing Mental Health  31:02 Defensiveness And Learning  32:26 Learning Beyond Your Bubble  33:12 Pandemic Backlash and Diet Culture  40:12 Movement as Body Trust  42:45 Chronic Illness and Ableism Realities  56:13 Read Books Not Hot Takes   WANT MORE OF ASHANTIS? https://www.ashantisjones.com/  https://www.patreon.com/bodykindnutrition/about  WANT MORE OF BRI? *Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri

When many leave traditional employment to start their own business, they dream of freedom, creativity, and fulfillment. Yet the reality often looks eerily familiar. Even after making that bold leap, it's easy to recreate the same patterns and pitfalls from corporate life—scope creep, burnout, and that ever-present sense of chasing moving goalposts.For today's guest, Jabari Allen, a tech consultant specializing in AI reliability, the early entrepreneurial road was filled with the same energy-draining dynamics he'd hoped to escape. But what makes Jabari's story so unique is the intersectionality at play: building a business while navigating the realities of being Black and neurodivergent in the predominantly white tech industry. Jabari shares what it feels like to be “the only one” in the room, and how owning every facet of his identity—rather than hiding or compensating—becomes the most radical business strategy of all.This Client Success Story is a vulnerable and inspiring conversation about evolving your entrepreneurial identity and what is possible with a thought partner who challenges you to move beyond proving your worth into owning your power.Here's What You'll Learn in This EpisodeTrusting Your Intuition Matters: What it really means to listen to your gut in business, especially when everyone else seems to know better People-Pleasing Isn't Always Obvious: Discover the sneaky ways people-pleasing shows up for entrepreneurs—and why setting boundaries is actually better for you and your clients Intersectionality & Self-Advocacy: Gain insight into what it's like to navigate tech as a Black neurodivergent professional, and how those layers shape confidence and communication Embracing Your Thought Leadership: Learning how to shift from “technician” to “expert”—and how the simplest offer can be both disruptive and profitable Fun Fact from the EpisodeThere's a term in the tech industry for endlessly fussing with tiny details called “yak shaving.” Turns out, it's not just about perfecting code—but can be a major sign you're avoiding a bigger decision. Jabari calls it circling the drain, and I refer to it as fluffing the pillows. Whether it's the obsessive nature of ADHD perfectionism, anxiety about feeling we need to prove ourselves, or keeping ourselves too busy with the small stuff to confront the big stuff, or a combination plate of all of the above, set a limit on this tendency to keep from holding yourself back while feeling productive.

The far right holds power in the US, inflaming tension along racial lines. ICE agents terrorise the streets, while Black history is erased from school curricula. In the UK too, Nigel Farage's far right party Reform is on the ascendancy, riding a tide of anti-immigrant sentiment that he himself helped to stoke. Our guest on Downstream this week is Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, civil rights advocate and legal scholar. Crenshaw is known for coining the term ‘intersectionality' to describe the ways different forms of discrimination combine or intersect, and is a leading figure within the field of Critical Race Theory.  Born into segregation, her new memoir Backtalker (2026) tells her life story, tracking 60 turbulent years of American history in the process. How have the forces of race, class and gender shaped Crenshaw's own life? What is Critical Race Theory – the academic field Crenshaw founded – really about? Was Kamala Harris' presidential campaign a failure because she was a weak candidate, or because she was a victim of the forces of misogynoir? And in these times of rising fascism, should progressives put their efforts into tackling inequality based on race, or class?

We share what may have been the last ever event at Birmingham City University for Black Studies, a conversation between Kehinde and, Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw on her ground breaking new book 'Backtalker'. More than 400 people came out to celebrate the work. The fight to preserve Black Studies is more urgent than ever—and it's rooted in a history of erasure, resistance, and unwavering community strength. In this deeply personal and powerful episode, the pioneer behind critical race theory and intersectionality, pulls back the curtain on how systemic forces are rewriting history and silencing truths—yet black communities continue to fight back with resilience and sharp analysis. Crenshaw shares eye-opening stories from her own life—like nearly being killed by her ex in college, and the relentless efforts to undermine Black women's experiences—highlighting the critical need to defend the frameworks that illuminate racial and gender injustice. She explores how powerful narratives are deliberately erased—whether through bans on books, attacks on Black Studies curricula, or censorship of vital concepts like intersectionality—and exposes how these acts aim to rewrite the story of racial progress. You'll discover how right-wing forces are systematically dismantling the academic and cultural pillars that document and challenge racial oppression. Crenshaw breaks down the real impact of banning ideas like critical race theory, queer theory, and Black Studies—an assault not just on education, but on democracy itself. She also shares strategic lessons on how activists, scholars, and communities can push back effectively—by reclaiming history, advancing intersectional analysis, and resisting the forces that threaten to erase the wisdom of marginalized voices. This episode is perfect for students of social justice, educators, activists, and anyone committed to understanding how embedded power structures operate—and how to dismantle them. Crenshaw's insights equip us with the tools to fight for an authentic, inclusive "we" that acknowledges all of our experiences and histories, especially those most vulnerable. Why does the attack on Black Studies and intersectionality matter? Because the future depends on whether we will defend the knowledge that roots us in truth, or allow it to be wiped out. Join Professor Crenshaw—whose work helped shape the civil rights movement and who continues to lead the fight for justice—and get inspired to speak back and stand firm in this crucial moment.  Get your copy of Backtalker now: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/446848/backtalker-by-crenshaw-kimberle-williams/9780241585221 Read the public letter and sign the petition in support of Black Studies at BCU https://c.org/hnpyKBCX7X Read about the attack on Black Studies: BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy2d6eg050o The Voice: https://www.voice-online.co.uk/news/uk-news/2026/05/18/they-just-dont-care-about-black-stuff-prof-kehinde-andrews-slams-decision-to-axe-bcu-black-studies-degree/ Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/may/12/birmingham-city-university-urged-not-to-axe-black-studies-ma In the Times Higher: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/black-studies-masters-course-close-birmingham-city Join Harambee OBU: www.blackunity.org.uk Written and hosted by: Kehinde Andrews Edited by: Kadiri Andrews Artwork by: Assata Andrews

Have you ever felt like you're constantly trying to "fit into a box" that just wasn't made for you?This week on the Full of Beans Podcast, Han is joined by Dr. Lauren Lovegood, a psychologist who specialises in the intersection of Eating Disorders, Neurodiversity (ADHD/Autism), and the LGBTQ+ community.We talk about the "internal sense of difference" that so many of us feel growing up and how, sometimes, an eating disorder can sneak in as a way to find control, "mask" our true selves, or even seek out that much-needed dopamine.In this episode, we explore:The Treatment Spectrum: Why anorexia is actually a much smaller piece of the ED puzzle than society thinks.Identity & Belonging: The unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community and how gender-affirming care can coexist with a healthy body image.The Neurodivergent Brain: Why "Executive Function" makes university transitions so tricky and why your "fidgety brain" might be driving your food behaviours.Gender Affirming Care: We discuss the desire to align our physical bodies with our internal identity.The Glorification of Weight Loss: Exploring the challenges of restrictive behaviours in the queer community to cause a more "feminine" or "masculine" look.Identity Roles & Stereotypes: How to find where we belong without fuelling obsession with our appearance.ARFID & Sensory Safety: Understanding why "beige foods" feel safe and how to branch out without the fear and force gently.The Low Self-Esteem Trap: How external pressure to be "disciplined" can fuel the eating disorder voice.Connect with Us:Subscribe to the Full of Beans PodcastFollow Full of Beans on InstagramCheck out our websiteListen on YouTubeConnect with Lauren via her website⚠️ Content Note: This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, body image, neurodiversity, gender and sexuality.

Intersectionality has quietly become the unseen driver behind today's divisive education policies, anti-American sentiments, and campus radicalization. William A. Jacobson, Cornell Law School professor and founder of the Legal Insurrection Foundation, joins the podcast to sound the alarm on this dangerous ideological “mother's milk” that feeds critical race theory, DEI, and even some acts of […]

You show up. You succeed. You keep functioning. Meanwhile, food, eating, body image, or restrictive behaviors may quietly consume an enormous amount of mental and emotional energy. In this episode of the Dr. Marianne-Land podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller explores the hidden reality of high-functioning eating disorders and why so many people get overlooked simply because they appear “fine” from the outside. This conversation examines how anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and other restrictive eating patterns can exist inside people who maintain careers, relationships, caregiving roles, and daily responsibilities. Dr. Marianne also discusses why perfectionism, masking, executive functioning challenges, and neurodivergence can make eating disorders harder to recognize and harder to treat. Why High-Functioning People With Eating Disorders Get Missed Many people assume eating disorders only become serious when someone visibly falls apart. This episode challenges that belief and explores how people with eating disorders often continue functioning at a high level while struggling privately with food obsession, body image distress, binge eating, restriction, compulsive exercise, or sensory-based eating challenges. Dr. Marianne discusses how high-functioning individuals often minimize their own suffering because they are still meeting expectations at work, school, or home. She also explores how healthcare providers, loved ones, and society frequently overlook eating disorders in people who do not fit narrow stereotypes. Neurodivergence, Executive Functioning & Eating Disorders This episode also explores the connection between neurodivergence and eating struggles. Dr. Marianne discusses how ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities, and executive functioning challenges can complicate meal planning, eating consistency, food variety, hunger awareness, and nervous system regulation. You'll hear discussion around low-lift eating, food predictability, sensory-safe foods, masking, and the emotional exhaustion that can come from constantly pushing through internal distress while appearing capable on the outside. Intersectionality & Invisible Struggle Dr. Marianne also examines how anti-fat bias, gender expectations, neurodivergence, and other intersecting identities shape who gets believed, diagnosed, and supported. Many high-functioning people spend years feeling dismissed because they do not look like the stereotype of someone with an eating disorder. This episode highlights why eating disorders deserve attention long before someone reaches a visible crisis point. Recovery Support for High-Functioning Eating Disorders Dr. Marianne shares compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming approaches to recovery that reduce overwhelm instead of increasing pressure. She discusses building supportive structure around eating, reducing friction with meals, reconnecting with internal cues, and allowing support into areas of life that may have stayed hidden for years. If you've ever thought, “I'm still functioning, so maybe it's not that bad,” this episode is for you.

What happens when diet culture gets louder, ARFID awareness grows, social media becomes therapy language, and the pressure to be thin starts shaping everyday life again? In this episode of The Dr. Marianne-Land Podcast, I sit down with Lisa Jimenez (@lisajimeneztherapy) for a deeply honest conversation about what eating disorder therapists are actually seeing in 2026. We talk about the resurgence of appearance pressure, the subtle ways eating disorders can hide in plain sight, why more people are finally recognizing ARFID, and how identity, neurodivergence, trauma, and culture all shape recovery. This episode explores the realities many people quietly live with but rarely hear discussed out loud. Lisa Jimenez, LMHC, is an eating disorder therapist based in Miami who specializes in eating disorders, body image, anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, and work with teens, young adults, and queer clients. In this conversation, she shares how her own lived experience with an eating disorder shaped her approach to therapy and why she shifted toward EMDR, parts work, and more collaborative, relational treatment approaches. ARFID, Neurodivergence, and the Changing Eating Disorder Landscape Lisa and I discuss why ARFID is becoming more recognized and why many clinicians are still trying to catch up with the complexity of the diagnosis. We explore how sensory sensitivities, neurodivergence, attachment, trauma, and family dynamics can all affect eating. We also talk about why ARFID treatment requires much more than exposure work alone and why creating emotional and sensory safety matters so deeply in recovery. We also discuss the overlap between eating disorders, autism, ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, and trauma, along with the growing role social media now plays in helping people identify experiences they previously could not name. Diet Culture, Social Media, and the Pressure to Be Thin in 2026 Diet culture feels especially aggressive right now, and this episode explores how that pressure shows up in both obvious and subtle ways. Lisa and I talk about “clean eating,” wellness culture, compulsive exercise messaging, “what I eat in a day” content, GLP-1 conversations, and the growing normalization of disordered behaviors online. We also discuss how eating disorders often hide behind socially praised behaviors, especially when restriction, over-exercising, or body control become culturally rewarded instead of recognized as signs of distress. Eating Disorders in Larger Bodies This conversation also explores how eating disorders frequently go unnoticed in larger bodies and how weight stigma continues to affect treatment, diagnosis, and recovery. Lisa and I discuss the harmful assumption that eating disorders must “look extreme” to be serious and why many people receive praise for behaviors that are actually rooted in restriction and suffering. We also talk about medical bias, healthcare experiences, and the reality that people can experience anorexia and severe eating disorder symptoms across a wide range of body sizes. Queer Identity, Intersectionality, and Eating Disorders Lisa shares insights from her work with queer clients, teens, and neurodivergent individuals, and we explore how identity and environment intersect with eating disorders in complex ways. We discuss cultural expectations around appearance, family and community pressures, social media influence, and the realities many queer and neurodivergent people face while navigating food and body image struggles. The conversation also examines how eating disorders often function as coping strategies for overwhelm, emotional pain, disconnection, or the pressure to survive in environments that do not feel safe or affirming.

If culture is a vibe, and instruction is what creates it, then Student Identity is the map that tells you which vibe is actually required for the humans in your room. In this episode, Jocelynn revisits the concept of intersectionality—a concept first explored in Season 5, episode 2 —and anchors it within the AnchorED for Achievement framework.We often try to build "culture-centered" rooms by looking at a "single note," but our students are a complex intersection of experiences.

Over the last year and a half, the Trump Administration has made a big effort to limit which words are used in federal documents. Across government memos and wide-ranging agency material, hundreds of terms and ideas have been explicitly or implicitly forbidden from use. These terms include words like “accessible” or “activism.” Another example? Intersectionality. It's been nearly 40 years since Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the term “intersectionality.” And in that time, the word has been twisted into something barely recognizable. We spoke with Crenshaw about her work, her new book, and how her past has given her the strength to keep talking back.And in headlines, Iran responds to the latest U.S. ceasefire proposal, Democrats respond to the Virginia Supreme Court ruling on redistricting, and the cruise ship roiled by hantavirus anchors in the Canary Islands.Show Notes: Check out Kimberlé's book – https://tinyurl.com/4ndwy3rx Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
