We have become a most tediously offended people. We're not talking about the big stuff — it's the “little” things we wonder about. “Sticks and stones may break my bones” and “water off a duck's back” seem quaint and anachronistic in today's culture of maximal aggrievement. Provoked by even the slightest offense — that, mind you, we seem to be on constant vigilance to find — we're on a hair trigger that sends us into conjuring up “us vs. them” and “good vs. evil” thinking and language. Scholars have written that this sad state of affairs reflects a wider shift in our culture, from what they call a “dignity culture” to an “honor and victimhood culture.” Humanity has been here before (in the days of yore when the Secretary of the Treasury killed a sitting vice president, or that one time a U.S. Senator was caned on the Senate floor) — and it doesn't end well. Led by Rev. Josh Hall of First Baptist Church — God Squad is on it. Learn more about the program and meet the God Squad here.

We chat about the barriers preventing true inclusion and we're challenging societal norms and asking the important questions about what defines human worth. What kind of person gets to be celebrated? What kind of person with Down syndrome gets to be celebrated? We explore the buzzword status of “inclusion,” the role of privilege in accessing support and services, and so much more. As we navigate this journey, we recognize the honor and burden of advocating for a more inclusive world. Progress in inclusion is happening, but are we truly championing the essence of every individual? Is the current system promoting equal access and opportunities? We're asking all the questions, you don't want to miss this thought-provoking episode! --- SHOW NOTES Learn more about regional assembly member Mar Galcerán's! Other episodes to check out: 17.

Send us a textNote: This episode is a replay of a past episode (E44) that felt timely as the holidays approach again. We asked members of our group to share some of the most hurtful things that had been said to them or their LGBTQ children, even if the speaker's intentions were good. The response was absolutely overwhelming. Some of the reported comments would be considered microaggressions and some were intentionally cruel. Just in time for all of the upcoming holiday gatherings, Jen brings back therapist Lisa Tensmeyer Hansen to talk through some common categories of microaggressions and possible ways to respond. Special Guest: Lisa Tensmeyer HansenLisa Tensmeyer Hansen is the clinical director and founder of Flourish Therapy, Inc., (Flourish), a behavioral health clinic in Provo, Utah, which she founded in 2017. Lisa received a B.S. from BYU in 1990 as valedictorian, an M.S. in 2012 and Ph.D. in 2017, both at BYU, focusing on improving the mental health of LGBTQ+ people in conservative families/communities. She lives with her husband in Payson, Utah, where together they made a home for 7 children (and a few extras) and now have 18 grandchildren.Links from the Show:Flourish Therapy: https://flourishtherapy.org/Join Mama Dragons today at www.mamadragons.org In the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

Send us a textRethinking Networking and Inclusivity in Tech Events Networking within the tech industry, especially at events targeted at the Black community, often feels more like a social affair than a professional gathering. We voice our skepticism about the effectiveness of these events and advocate for more inclusive and meaningful opportunities that align with the true professional aspirations of attendees. Highlighting the lack of Black representation in senior leadership, we emphasize the need for networking events that facilitate real connections with decision-makers. Additionally, we share our experiences with "Talks With Ash" on Clubhouse, underscoring the importance of respect and relatability in professional settings.Financial struggles in the UK, from rising transportation costs, are taking a toll on many. We explore the burdens of the tax system, the challenges of raising a child, and the necessity of financial education often learned through modern platforms.

Send us a Text Message.We explore the influential role of Black women in politics, drawing parallels between the US and the UK. We reflect on the groundbreaking impact of leaders like Barack Obama and Kamala Harris on political diversity and leadership. Despite these strides, the absence of a Black Prime Minister in the UK remains striking. We delve into Kamala Harris's career, examining her tenure as Attorney General and the criticisms she has faced. This segment underscores the ongoing challenges and triumphs of Black women in political spheres, highlighting the persistent need for systemic change and recognition.Our conversation addresses the overqualification phenomenon experienced by Black women in the workplace. We discuss the systemic barriers that necessitate extensive qualifications for Black women to even be considered for roles often occupied by less-qualified individuals due to white privilege. Personal stories and societal conditioning illustrate these issues, and we also touch on the ethical implications of fundraising decisions, such as the GoFundMe campaign for Brendan Nwachibe.

Ever questioned the value of your voice in a world that seems to echo with others' expectations? This episode turns the spotlight on the empowering art of personal branding, and the tenacity required to purge toxic relationships from our lives.

In this heartfelt discussion, we reflect on Taraji P. Henson's encounters with undervaluation, shining a light on the crucial role of a robust personal brand and an unwavering support system. I'll share my own trials of missed opportunities and the systemic challenges that dare to define our worth, but most importantly, how we must architect our own success stories in the face of these adversities. We spotlight industry giants like Oprah Winfrey and Elsa Majimbo, dissecting the complexities of mentorship under the limelight.

Many Christians are wearied by the self-censorship at our workplaces for fear the blue-haired they/them in the next cubicle will report us for microaggression and misgendering the man with the dress. Join us as we sit down Andrew Crapuchettes, founder/CEO of RedBalloon, America's largest and most successful non-woke job board and talent connector. In this interview we discuss the potential folly of a college degree, why businesses will still push the woke agenda even if it costs them customers, how organizing at the worker-level to fight against woke-requirements is both a legal and advisable action plan, and how to find a good job for freedom loving, God fearing Christians who have conviction that the lord really is Lord of all.
I've always believed that embracing your true self is a rebellious act of self-love, especially when the world tries to carve you into something you're not. This belief echoes through today's conversation, sparked by Laura Matsu's powerful reflections on self-acceptance. I delve into the pivotal updates in UK employment law, specifically the new flexible working legislation. It's essential intel for every working woman in the UK. The energy shifts as we navigate the delicate dance of professional friendships, taking cues from the Receipts Podcast's Tolly, Audrey, and Milena. On top of that, the Employment Relations Flexible Working Act 2023 brings fresh challenges and opportunities. I'll guide you through initiating those crucial flexible working conversations during job interviews, ensuring your mental well-being isn't left at the office door.Wrapping up, we confront the frustration of fighting for one's worth in spaces that tend to sideline our voices and contributions. I stand with Taraji P. Henson as she navigates the tides of Hollywood, championing the need for fair recognition and compensation. Her narrative isn't just about the entertainment industry; it's a mirror to the broader workplace struggles that many of us face. So, whether you're contemplating a career shift while juggling the prospects of motherhood or seeking the courage to demand what you've earned, this episode is a testament to your strength and a reminder to step boldly into your power.*This episode includes x1 dilemma.

As the year comes to a close, I find myself in a poignant reflection of the personal and societal transformations that have left an indelible mark on 2023. The landscape of the UK has been one of tumultuous change, from royal family disclosures to political upheaval and an economic maelstrom that has held our leaders' feet to the fire. Yet, amid this national backdrop, my journey into motherhood has been the most transformative of all, fraught with joys, trials, and the task of breaking generational curses. Embracing the duality of motherhood, I bare the raw and unfiltered truths of parenting in the digital age. The metaphor of my neglected toenails becomes a symbol of the relentless pace of life with a child, challenging the glittering façades of social media's portrayal of motherhood. Through candid tales and personal anecdotes, this episode weaves together the essence of nurturing a child while grappling with societal pressures, the shadow of past traumas, and the importance of self-care. As we bid farewell to a year of profound love and gratitude, the discussion turns to the practicalities of negotiating life's financial and professional hurdles. This episode doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of navigating a financial crisis or the art of negotiation with employers, as I recount tales of securing work against the odds and managing family budgets with a frugal touch. Join me as I share insights into the evolution of remote work, the empowerment of saving, and the criticality of proactive career management. It's been a year of immense challenges, but through it, we've discovered the strength we hold and the hope that guides us into the unknowns of the future.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com TikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/

Bienvenue dans ce nouvel épisode de Révolution bilingue, le podcast animé par Fabrice Jaumont, dédié à la promotion du bilinguisme et de la diversité linguistique. Dans cet épisode, il reçoit Elatiana Razafimandimbimanana, Maîtresse de conférences et chercheuse en sociolinguistique et didactique du plurilinguisme à l'université de Nouvelle Calédonie. Ensemble, ils explorent les complexités des microagressions linguistiques et du multilinguisme, et nous emmènent dans un voyage fascinant à la découverte des interactions entre les langues, les rapports de force et l'identité.Façonnée par la mobilité et un parcours personnel et professionnel riche, Elatiana Razafimandimbimanana conçoit les langues comme étant des espaces sociaux où se négocient des rapports de force. Elle nous invite à adopter une approche critique des langues, explorant les constructions identitaires, les mises en altérité, les idéologies dominantes et les imaginaires. Les microagressions linguistiques, souvent subtiles et inconscientes, font partie intégrante de ces interactions linguistiques et peuvent avoir des conséquences profondes sur les individus et la société dans son ensemble.
Following on from the previous episode ' I like Money' I needed to do this episode. We are in a cost of living crisis which I believe is a fancy way of saying 'recession'. Others would define it as...'a situation where the cost of basic necessities and everyday expenses rises significantly, outpacing the income and financial resources of individuals or households. It means that the cost of essential goods and services, such as housing, food, healthcare, education, transportation, and utilities, is increasing at a faster rate than people's wages or income growth. This imbalance can result in financial hardship and economic instability for individuals and families, as they struggle to afford the basic necessities of life. A cost of living crisis can have wide-ranging impacts on society, including increased poverty rates, decreased standards of living, and heightened inequality. It often necessitates discussions and actions aimed at addressing the root causes of rising costs and finding ways to improve affordability and financial well-being for individuals and communities.'In a cost of living crisis even more so you have to understand and know how to pivot including pivoting from contracting to perm as a temporary measure as a response if needed. The above also leads me to discuss the collapse of Credit Suisse. In this episode, we delve into the recent collapse of Credit Suisse, one of the world's leading financial institutions, and explore the valuable lessons to be learned from the perspective of an employee. We examine the implications of such a collapse on job security and the significance of understanding company benefits in times of organisational turmoil.We begin by providing an overview of the events leading up to the collapse of Credit Suisse, including the factors contributing to its downfall. From risky investments and mismanagement to regulatory issues and reputational damage.Next, we shift our focus to the employee's viewpoint and discuss the implications of an organisational collapse on job security. We explore the challenges faced by employees when a company faces financial ruin, such as potential layoffs, salary cuts, and loss of benefits. We emphasize the importance of staying informed about one's employment contract, severance packages, and any legal protections available.Furthermore, we analyse the concept of company benefits and their true meaning during times of crisis. We explain how employees can ensure a comprehensive understanding of their benefits, such as retirement plans, health insurance, stock options, and bonuses, and how to evaluate their value when an organization collapses. Additionally, we provide insights on diversifying investments and safeguarding personal finances to mitigate the impact of such unforeseen events.Lastly, we explore how individuals can prepare themselves professionally and financially for such occurrences. We discuss the significance of maintaining a diverse skill set, staying updated with industry trends.Signs a company are in troubleHow can employees protect themselves from job lossesFuture Career PlanningCompany benefits and what they actually mean and even more so when a company is bought or collapses.Email me: hello@toyatalks.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/
Have you ever struggled to explain racism to your kids? Flubbed conversations at the dinner table? Unsure how racism and antisemitism fit together, or how to process the 2020 racial reckoning and subsequent backlash? Then be sure to catch our conversation with Buffie Longmire-Avital, Ph.D., a psychology professor who identifies as a Black American Jewish woman. She shares her research about Jewish families as well as her own perspective as the mother of two biracial sons. She shares the implications of a recent incident at her son's school, in which white and Black students split into opposing football teams, leaving her son on the sidelines. She offers advice on how parents, especially white Jewish parents, can better prepare their kids to respond to microaggressions and make Jewish communities more embracing spaces. Her research is part of a Reconstructionist Rabbinical College project called “Race, Religion and American Judaism.” At the top of the episode, Rabbi Mira Wasserman joins to explain the project and the importance of Longmire-Avital's research.

Visit storyrealestate.com. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/20/its-official-student-loan-payments-will-restart-in-october.html It’s official: Student loan payments will restart in October, Education Department says Over the three-year-long pause on student loan payments, the U.S. Department of Education has repeatedly told borrowers their bills were set to resume, only to take it back and provide them more time. This time, however, the agency really means it. The Education Department posted on its website that “payments will be due starting in October,” and a recent law passed by Congress will make changing that plan difficult. It will likely be a big adjustment for borrowers when the pandemic-era policy expires. Around 40 million Americans have debt from their education. The typical monthly bill is roughly $350. “For many borrowers, the payment pause has been life altering — saving many from financial ruin and allowing others to finally get ahead financially,” said Persis Yu, deputy executive director at the Student Borrower Protection Center. President Donald Trump first announced the stay on federal student loan bills and the accrual of interest in March 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. and crippled the economy. The pause has since been extended eight times. Nearly all people eligible for the relief have taken advantage of it, with less than 1% of qualifying borrowers continuing to make payments on their education debt, according to an analysis by higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz. As a result of the policy, the average borrower likely saved around $15,000 in student loan payments, Kantrowitz said. The Education Department notes on its financial aid website that “Congress recently passed a law preventing further extensions of the payment pause.” It is referring to the agreement reached between Republicans and Democrats to raise the nation’s debt ceiling, which President Joe Biden signed into law in early June. In exchange for voting to increase the borrowing limit, Republicans demanded large cuts to federal spending. They sought to repeal Biden’s executive action granting student loan forgiveness, but the Biden administration refused to agree to that. However, included in the deal was a provision that officially terminates the pause at the end of August. Even before that agreement, the Biden administration had been preparing borrowers for their payments to resume by September. The Education Department says borrowers will be expected to make their first post-pause payment in October. Meanwhile, interest will start accumulating on borrowers’ debt again on Sept. 1, the department says. As the Biden administration tries to ready millions of Americans to restart their student loan payments, there’s one big open question that may make that preparation difficult: Most borrowers don’t know what they’ll owe in the fall. That’s because the Supreme Court has yet to issue a verdict on the validity of Biden’s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for borrowers. A decision is expected this month. Around 37 million people would be eligible for some loan cancellation, Kantrowitz estimated. Roughly a third of those with federal student loans, or 14 million people, would have their balances entirely forgiven by the president’s program, according to an estimate by Kantrowitz. As a result, these borrowers won’t owe anything come October. For those who still have a balance after the relief, the Education Department has said it plans to “re-amortize” borrowers’ lower debts. That’s a wonky term that means it will recalculate people’s monthly payment based on their lower tab and the number of months they have left on their repayment timeline. Kantrowitz provided an example: Let’s say a person currently owes $30,000 in student loans at a 5% interest rate. Before the pandemic, they would have paid around $320 a month on a 10-year repayment term. If forgiveness goes through and that person gets $10,000 in relief, their total balance would be reduced by a third, and their monthly payment will drop by a third, to roughly $210 a month. Education Department Undersecretary James Kvaal recently warned that if the administration is unable to deliver on Biden’s loan forgiveness, delinquency and default rates could skyrocket. The borrowers most in jeopardy of defaulting are those for whom Biden’s policy would have wiped out their balance entirely, Kvaal said. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/madelineleesman/2023/06/19/ny-post-teacher-called-a-student-despicable-after-questioning-her-classmate-who-identifies-as-a-cat-n2624666 Teacher Reportedly Calls Student ‘Despicable’ for Challenging Peer Who ‘Identifies As a Cat’ A 13-year-old girl and her friend were reportedly called “despicable” by one of their schoolteachers last week after one of them challenged their classmates about “how she identifies as a cat" after a lesson about gender ideology. The 13-year-old girl and her friend are reportedly students at Rye College in the United Kingdom. The school is affiliated with the Church of England, according to the New York Post. The students were in their end-of-year lesson on “life education” where they were told they can”be who you want to be and how you identify is up to you.” After the lesson, one of the students asked her classmate: “How can you identify as a cat when you’re a girl?” As a result, the schoolteacher reprimanded the student and her friend and said that they were being reported to school officials. And, the teacher reportedly said that they would no longer be welcome at the school if they “continued to express the view that only boys and girls exist” The girls informed the teacher that their parents would agree with their views on gender ideology, that someone's gender is not different than their biological sex. “Well that’s very sad as well then,” the teacher reportedly said in response, adding that “if you don’t like it you need to go to a different school.” A parent of another student at the school told The Telegraph that “what bothers me is the shutting down of debate in such a threatening and aggressive manner, which I don’t believe is appropriate in an educational setting.” “Regardless of the subject, education should serve to build awareness of differing points of view to widen the understanding of a subject. It shouldn’t be a case of indoctrination,” the parent added. https://thepostmillennial.com/crime-so-out-of-control-in-san-francisco-stores-are-locking-up-candy?utm_campaign=64487 Crime so out of control in San Francisco, stores are locking up candy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78gt7pfjlCU - Play Video - 1:26-1:4 San Francisco residents that are looking to satisy a sweet tooth will have to go through a series of extra steps as candy is now being locked up in stores amid rising crime in the not so 'golden' city. While Butterfingers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Starbursts, and M&M's are locked up behind bars, illegal drugs are readily available for consumers as they flow rampant down the city's streets that are plagued by urine, human feces, and homeless vagrants looking for their next hit. In order to fend off thieves, San Francisco store owners have taken extra measures to combat rampant retail theft and are locking up merchandise up and down store aisles, which now includes candy. A photo taken by the Daily Mail at a Walgreens store shows a mixture of America's favorite chocolate and gummy candies confined behind a sheer box with a lock on it. If consumers want to purchase a KitKat or a Hershey's Kiss, they will have to ring an alarm for a store associate to come and assist them in grabbing the item off of the shelf. A security guard at the Walgreens on Powell Street which is home to San Francisco's famous cable cars told Daily Mail that, "Theft is constant." He told the outlet that a homeless man who stole from the store earlier in the day appeared a few hours later only to commit another theft. Major businesses and retailers have recently announced that they are shuttering their locations in the once-booming downtown corridor, with all citing similar reasons for the departures: rampant retail theft, loss of foot traffic, homeless vagrants attacking employees, and other safety concerns. These businesses include Nordstroms, Whole Foods, T-Mobile, Walgreens, Old Navy, and now the entire Westfield shopping center. While the San Francisco City Council has weaponized the local criminal justice system, turning it into a revolving door for repeat offenders and enacting laws that prevent police making arrests for petty theft, a Muslim immigrant and business owner, whose store was recently ransacked by a pack of thieves, said that crime in the city is now worse than it is in both Afghanistan and Iraq. https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/biden-admin-gave-university-over-2m-for-monitoring-microaggressions/ Biden Admin Gave University Over $2M For ‘Monitoring Microaggressions’ The National Institutes of Health has, since September 2021, been funding a $2.2 million program at the University of Miami examining how "microaggressions" affect "Black cisgender queer women" who have HIV. According to a grant listing from the Department of Health and Human Services, the program, known as Monitoring Microaggressions and Adversities to Generate Interventions for Change, seeks to discover how "comments, jokes, and behaviors that are demeaning to a marginalized group" affect health outcomes. Queer black women with HIV "live at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities and within social structures that take a daily toll," the grant description states. However, the impact of microaggressions on this group has "largely been ignored." The program is supervised by Sannisha Dale, an associate professor of psychology, who chairs the department’s Diversity and Equity Committee. Dale's first contact with the project was in 2019, according to the University’s website. Through text messages and regular visits, the grant team monitored 151 women to understand how microaggressions affected their daily levels of distress and consumption of medication. "[Microagressions] can be someone saying, ‘She doesn’t look like she’s positive,’ as if HIV has a face," Dale said. "Or ‘I’m HIV negative, I’m clean,’ as if someone else is dirty." The Biden administration has shown a willingness to shell out cash for LGBT initiatives. Biden’s most recent budget proposal included a $400 million State Department program to help LGBTQ Africans access the internet. In January, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded a grant to translate a gay dictionary into Spanish.

This time, however, the agency really means it. The Education Department posted on its website that “payments will be due starting in October,” and a recent law passed by Congress will make changing that plan difficult. It will likely be a big adjustment for borrowers when the pandemic-era policy expires. Around 40 million Americans have debt from their education. The typical monthly bill is roughly $350. “For many borrowers, the payment pause has been life altering — saving many from financial ruin and allowing others to finally get ahead financially,” said Persis Yu, deputy executive director at the Student Borrower Protection Center. President Donald Trump first announced the stay on federal student loan bills and the accrual of interest in March 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. and crippled the economy. The pause has since been extended eight times. Nearly all people eligible for the relief have taken advantage of it, with less than 1% of qualifying borrowers continuing to make payments on their education debt, according to an analysis by higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz. As a result of the policy, the average borrower likely saved around $15,000 in student loan payments, Kantrowitz said. The Education Department notes on its financial aid website that “Congress recently passed a law preventing further extensions of the payment pause.” It is referring to the agreement reached between Republicans and Democrats to raise the nation’s debt ceiling, which President Joe Biden signed into law in early June. In exchange for voting to increase the borrowing limit, Republicans demanded large cuts to federal spending. They sought to repeal Biden’s executive action granting student loan forgiveness, but the Biden administration refused to agree to that. However, included in the deal was a provision that officially terminates the pause at the end of August. Even before that agreement, the Biden administration had been preparing borrowers for their payments to resume by September. The Education Department says borrowers will be expected to make their first post-pause payment in October. Meanwhile, interest will start accumulating on borrowers’ debt again on Sept. 1, the department says. As the Biden administration tries to ready millions of Americans to restart their student loan payments, there’s one big open question that may make that preparation difficult: Most borrowers don’t know what they’ll owe in the fall. That’s because the Supreme Court has yet to issue a verdict on the validity of Biden’s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for borrowers. A decision is expected this month. Around 37 million people would be eligible for some loan cancellation, Kantrowitz estimated. Roughly a third of those with federal student loans, or 14 million people, would have their balances entirely forgiven by the president’s program, according to an estimate by Kantrowitz. As a result, these borrowers won’t owe anything come October. For those who still have a balance after the relief, the Education Department has said it plans to “re-amortize” borrowers’ lower debts.

Have you ever been given a backhanded compliment that actually was a veiled insult? What do you do with it? Instead of throwing an aggression back, you could pose a question back!Our Inner voice discerns what we know versus what we believe or how we receive what someone's thrown us. And tone matters— the tone of our inner voice, as well as that of the messenger. There are more things than just what's said that holds meaning! You can stand with your belief when boundaries are crossed, and get activated, rather than triggered, with a strong response rather than a reaction. Being centered gives you space and grace to provide information over ignorance, and from that place you have power to decide what path a relationship may take. Whether with compliments, or insults, you can stay grounded in who you are, just as you are.
What do you do when you're given a backhanded compliment? Are you tempted to throw a zinger back? Was it a veiled insult, a subconscious microaggression, or a misunderstood comment? When gifted a compliment that left us unsettled or even hurt, we can examine with curiosity how we receive the comment, to then have a discerned response, rather than an emotional reaction. We can choose how to take it regardless of how they intended to give it, and also have grace and awareness when we also give a compliment that could have a dual meaning. Compliments are the gifts that they are; depending on the giving and the receiving.

A recent interview with Esther Falana on Good Morning Britain sparked debate regarding being over 35 years old being too old to be a mother/start a family. This was a topic not covered with care and depth and proved reckless especially with the back handed age shaming without exploring this layered topic to provide a view that was both informative and factual. Black Women in the world of work are both financially and from a position perspective significantly disadvantaged and spend more time climbing the career ladder this leads to career being the main focus and family life coming later. This also includes the consideration that society does not facilitate the socio-economic means to support family and motherhood/patenthood.In this episode which is two part, I will be providing depth to this topic including the medical consideration and recommendation for us to check our ovarian health to remove the societal pressures in feeling that we are running out of time. - Lets discuss.Email me: hello@toyatalks.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/

Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV Season 4 Episode 1 Episode Title: Understanding Microaggressions Guest: Dr. Kevin Nadal Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV is a podcast that explores all things diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related. In each episode, Oscar and his guests have lively discussions around DEI topics, explore the latest research on the topic, and discuss the implications so that listeners will be more knowledgeable about the topics and be able to apply the insights to their lives. Show Summary: “All forms of discrimination are hurtful, all forms of bias are harmful, and we should all be doing the work to demonstrate that this needs to stop.” Microaggressions are often subtle but harmful acts that convey negative messages toward people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, and other historically marginalized groups. Despite being subtle, they can have a devastating effect on individuals and communities. Research shows that these experiences can lead to a range of adverse outcomes, such as decreased self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and even physical health problems. This is why we have professor, author, psychologist, and activist Dr. Kevin Nadal on the show, one of the leading researchers in understanding the impacts of microaggressions. In this episode, he shares the research surrounding microaggressions, their effects on mental and physical health in marginalized communities, the various forms they take, and how we all can work towards creating a more inclusive society. 3 Exceptional Highlights: Microaggressions are covert acts that may not be intentional or perceived as harmful by the perpetrator. The focus is on the manifestation of the act rather than the impact. Leaders can model accountability by creating a culture where people feel comfortable discussing issues of race and diversity and by holding themselves responsible for any harm they may cause or microaggressions they may commit. The normalization of microaggressions within marginalized communities, particularly those with intersectional identities, is a systemic issue that causes significant harm and suffering. Show Highlights: The history of microaggressions and how the research began 2:28 Dr. Kevin Nadal Microaggressions were first coined in the 1970s by a black American psychiatrist named Chester Pierce, and the term was revived in 2007 by Dr. Derald Wing Sue at Columbia University to study subtle forms of discrimination, specifically towards people of color. Research has since grown to include other historically marginalized groups and the term has spread into mainstream vernacular. How he addresses the accusations of bias in the scholarly work which may dismiss his research as unscientific 15:52 Dr. Kevin Nadal I feel more connected and passionate about topics that are relevant to me personally, and it shows in my work. When others criticize my research or accuse me of bias, it often reveals more about them than about me. It demonstrates that they may not feel connected to certain communities or issues, and they may hold colorblind ideologies or even white supremacist beliefs. His advice to people who experience and deal with microaggressions constantly 20:47 Dr. Kevin Nadal While it is not our responsibility as targets of these microaggressions to educate others, it can be helpful to call out the behavior, personalize the harm caused, and walk away. I encourage externalizing racism by naming it and recognizing that it's a systemic issue, not a personal one. His advice to scholars, and people in general, on how they can do rigorous work, while keeping the importance of activism at the forefront of their efforts 31:58 Dr. Kevin Nadal My advice would be to ignore negative voices and focus on externalizing messages of self-doubt by talking about them and finding a supportive community.

Microagressions are becoming an absurd way to claim victimhood. And U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer believes that government has an obligation to tell Fox News what to report. Has he ever read the First Amendment?
Friends! Did you know that not only are we in the middle of Black History Month but also Inclusion Month?! Today we're honoring the adversities faced by advocates before us and celebrating the changes we're making now that will impact future generations. After all, the end goal is the same: creating spaces of belonging for everyone, and we mean everyone. And we know we're in a vulnerable moment in society, and in order to make lasting changes for future generations, we need to put in the hard (sometimes uncomfortable) work. And that's what this episode is all about. We're discussing microaggressions towards the Black and disabled communities, how we challenge systems to change, why separate programs can sometimes be a valuable asset, and what inclusion looks like in our own lives. We hope you join us for this important conversation about all these topics + more… ableism, the intrinsic worth of every human, you know, super lighthearted discussion right?! -- SHOW NOTES Listen to the episodes we mentioned! 146.
