With the campaign of Barack Obama in 2007-2008, the U.S. saw a resurgence in interest in Nelson Mandela, with Americans projecting a parallel with our own first black president. You can almost hear the gears turning in Clint Eastwood's mind watching 2009's Invictus–hoping to goad Obama towards symbolic reconciliation rather than expropriative redistribution. We look at Obama's initial posturing and discuss whether or not he was doing the Mandela affect.Huge thanks to Isaac for guesting on this episode!

I have a question for you: Have you ever been about to say something brilliant in a meeting… and stayed silent? Have you ever had an idea that could change your career, your business, your life—only to hide it in a drawer? Or have you achieved something incredible, and instead of celebrating, you found yourself thinking: Who am I to deserve this? If any of that feels familiar, welcome. This is Your Best Self, and I'm Bisila Bokoko. In this episode, we explore something most people have never been taught to name—yet it may have held you back more than any external failure ever could: the Jonah Complex. Coined by humanistic psychologist Abraham Maslow, this concept reveals a deeply unsettling truth: we don't only fear our worst selves… we also fear our best selves. We don't just fear failure—we fear success. We fear shining. Through the biblical story of Jonah—who runs from a mission that's bigger than him—we uncover why so many of us retreat right when life is asking us to expand. Not because we can't handle it, but because the size of what we're called to become feels overwhelming. And this fear has many faces. In this episode, I break down five patterns I've seen again and again—both in myself and in the people I mentor: The Threshold Saboteur: the moment something big is about to happen, the perfect excuse appears—“I'm not ready,” “I need more training,” “The timing isn't right.” The Achievement Minimizer: you downplay your wins—“It was luck,” “It was the team,” “It's not a big deal”—because owning your merit feels unsafe. The Break Before the Leap: the opportunity is right in front of you, you asked for it, you dreamed of it—and suddenly you freeze: What if I can't sustain what this requires? Voluntary Reduction: you lower your price, reduce your fees, ask for less than you deserve—not because you're not worthy, but because visibility and success scare you. Strategic Self-Sabotage: unconsciously, you “mess up” at the most important moment—late arrivals, forgotten details, avoidable mistakes—so you can stay small. Then we go deeper into the roots of this fear: fear of envy or rejection, identity conditioned by struggle, fear of “changing tribes” (outgrowing old circles), and the weight of responsibility that greatness brings. Staying small can feel safer—because if you never fully risk, you never fully lose. But we don't stop at diagnosis. I share seven practical tools you can start using today to overcome the Jonah Complex—questions, writing prompts, nervous-system reframes, value inventories, permission work, imperfect action, better circles, and integration rituals—so your success stops feeling like a threat and starts feeling like a home. We close with a powerful reminder (paraphrasing Marianne Williamson and Nelson Mandela): our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate—our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. So here's your homework for the week: Who are you to be brilliant? And even more important… who are you NOT to be? If this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs it. And write to me—I love hearing from you. The world doesn't need more people playing small. The world needs you to take up the space that is already yours. I'm Bisila Bokoko, and this is Your Best Self. You are enough. And I love you.
Nigeria's Senate has passed a controversial electoral law after tense debates over how election results should be transmitted during elections. At the centre of the dispute was a provision allowing election officials to revert to manual transmission of results if electronic methods failed. Opposition lawmakers had sought to remove the clause, arguing that it could undermine transparency. And Ndaba Mandela, grandson of Nelson Mandela, says African youth are still missing from leadership conversations, and speaks on the potential of Africa's youth, leadership and gender based violence.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MENORES 2026“HEROES Y VILLANOS”Narrado por: Tatania DanielaDesde: Juliaca, PerúUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church19 de FebreroEl héroe paciente«Ustedes pensaron hacerme mal, pero Dios cambió ese mal en bien para hacer lo que hoy vemos: para salvar la vida de mucha gente. Así que no tengan miedo. Yo les daré de comer a ustedes y a sus hijos. Así José los tranquilizó, pues les habló con mucho cariño» (Génesis 50: 20-21).En el escenario mundial, pocos nombres resuenan con tanta fuerza significado como de Mandela. Este icónico líder sudafricano no solo luchó incansablemente por la igualdad y la justicia, sino que también personificó la resistencia pacífica y la reconciliación en un momento crucial de la historia de su país. Su valentía, determinación y compasión lo convirtieron en un símbolo de esperanza y cambio para millones de personas en todo el mundo.Nelson Mandela, cariñosamente conocido como Madiba, fue un hombre de principios inquebrantables que dedicó su vida a la lucha contra el apartheid, un sistema de segregación racial brutal que dividía a la sociedad sudafricana. Mandela sufrió persecución y cárcel durante 27 años. Nunca renunció a sus convicciones y mantuvo viva la llama de la resistencia pacífica. Su famosa cita -«la reconciliación significa trabajar juntos para corregir los errores del pasado y no cargar con ellos en el futuro. Es un proceso que no termina jamás» resalta la importancia del perdón y la superación de los conflictos pasados para construir un futuro mejor y más pacífico.Al igual que Mandela, José, el hijo de Jacob, experimentó la injusticia y la adversidad, pero no perdió la fe en sus ideales y en un futuro mejor. Su capacidad para perdonar a sus hermanos, que lo habían traicionado, y para buscar la reconciliación en lugar de la venganza nos recuerda a Mandela perdonando a sus opresores.Se sabe que Mandela ha sido tema de canciones y composiciones musicales que destacan su lucha por la igualdad, la libertad y la justicia, así como su papel como líder en la lucha contra el apartheid en Sudáfrica. El cubano Pablo Milanés compuso Sus dos amores en honor a Mandela, y el estribillo dice: «Qué feliz que en una historia de amor / todo un pueblo encierre su libertad».La historia de Mandela y la de José tienen el mismo fundamento: el amor. Ese amor hizo que José y Mandela lo sufrieran todo, lo creyeran todo, lo esperaran todo y lo soportaran todo. Pero la esperanza cristiana va más allá. Nuestra libertad está encerrada en el paciente amor de Jesús, quien sufrió no solo persecución, cárcel y muerte física, sino que murió por nuestros pecados y nos dio la vida eterna. Jesús es el héroe paciente por excelencia.
Dearest Listeners,This episode is a bit lengthy, but well worth your time, if I must say so myself. I just realized that I'm going to begin calling my approach to astrology "Soul Speak" astrology. As with each episode, I review them before they reach your ears. Yes, there have been a few times when I've had to redo a recording.In this episode, I can sense an urgency which I am entitling "The Aquarian Calling". While listening to what I'm sharing with you, I hear my "Inner Wise" self asking me what am I willing to change in my life? In all honesty and with transparency, I'm starting with doing greater promotion of the content I am producing each month. Because this Solar Eclipse is sitting at the top of my chart, on my Midheaven, I'm in essence receiving a message that it's time to step up, and answer my "Aquarian Calling and Go Far".I'm encouraging you to listen, turn and embrace your "Genius Zone" and set your intention on something that is uniquely yours. Why is this important? If each of us fully, truthfully and courageously embraces something uniquely of self, this is where things around us will begin to change. Collectively and personally this new beginning starts with fully believing in the vision of our worthiness. Don't be fooled by the ignorant depictions, images, name-calling and all the other mean spirited nonsense. It's of utmost importance to understand who is in a prison of fear and bondage. Freedom is a deep self awareness of yourself. Keep knowing no can give you freedom, it is yours by divine right. Remember the late great Nelson Mandela was kept in a prison for 27 years, but all that time he was free inside of himself. Finally, the outer reality matched with what he always understood, he was free. This is the Aquarian superpower, the ability to own and bring truth, freedom and revolution into reality. Aquarius is also the sign of standing with other people to initiate change by holding a collective vision that wants everyone to have their life valued, respected, honored and celebrated. Be a rebel in that "Genius Zone" area of your life, and you will be enough, and you will "Go Far". This Solar Eclipse offers the potential to start a whole new chapter in your life. We each have a unique story. You are the only person who knows what your story is all about. Let's have an Astrology Conversation. I look forward to seeing you.

Radio documentary ‘The Power of The People' examines the significant impact of the ‘Dunnes Strikers' on Ireland's relations with South Africa and their contribution to the abolition of apartheidOn 19 July 1984 Mary Manning, a shop worker in Dunnes Stores on Henry Street in Dublin, refused to handle two grapefruit which had been imported from South Africa following an instruction from her union as a protest for the apartheid policies in place in the country. Mary was suspended and thus started what would become one of the longest running strikes in trade union history.A new radio documentary produced by Kelly Crichton revisits the story, highlighting the tinder box atmosphere in Dunnes which helped lead to the strike, the evolution of the strikers' motivation and understanding as well as the dramatic and dangerous events that took place over the period of the strike.The documentary follows the journey of the strikers, from the lack of support they received from politicians, the government, the church and other groups to being heralded as heroes. It shares the support they received from key people like their union official Brendan Archbold and Nimrod Sejake, who joined them on the picket line and had been a cellmate and fellow member of the African National Congress(ANC) with Nelson Mandela. Other supporters included Archbishop Desmond Tutu who helped them gain international recognition and the Reverend Jess Jackson.It's a story of determination, perseverance, love and triumph through adversity. Dunnes were approached for comment.The documentary was supported by Coimisiún na Meán with the Television Licence Fee.
L'ospite di questo episodio è Piergiorgio Odifreddi che è l'autore di “C'è del marcio in Occidente” pubblicato da Raffaello Cortina Editore. Piergiorgio Odifreddi ha studiato matematica in Italia, Stati Uniti e Unione Sovietica e ha insegnato Logica matematica presso l'Università di Torino e la Cornell University di New York. Piergiorgio Odifreddi, come molti italiani nati nel dopoguerra, è cresciuto nel mito degli Stati Uniti e dei soldati americani “liberatori”: sono stati loro, d'altra parte, ad aver salvato suo padre e suo nonno, entrambi deportati dai nazifascisti. Eppure, a partire dalla guerra del Vietnam, il suo rapporto con gli Stati Uniti inizia a cambiare. Ci studia per due anni, e ci insegna per venti. Viaggia in tutto il mondo, ed esplora in lungo e in largo il continente americano. Con sempre minor sorpresa, e sempre maggior fastidio, si rende conto dei modi violenti in cui gli Stati Uniti l'hanno sempre fatta da padroni: sfruttamento economico, embargo commerciale, occupazione militare… In questo libro riflette sull'arroganza dell'Occidente, anche attraverso i grandi pensatori del passato, Fidel Castro, Albert Einstein, Konrad Lorenz, Nelson Mandela e altri, e ci invita a non farci alleviare la coscienza dall'illusione che, forse, gli altri possono persino essere peggio di noi.

If you've ever wondered what happens when a daily comedy show accidentally stumbles into bowling ownership, Valentine's Day ethics, and a Pokémon scandal in the same morning… congratulations. You found your people.Today's episode kicks off with a major announcement: Moon Valjean is now the proud owner of Pin-Up Bowl in The Loop. That's right. Our own Moon — musician, radio host, professional vibe curator — now owns 73 bowling balls and possibly a dream. We talk leagues, Pete Weber tributes, pre- and post-Pageant party domination, and whether Rizz will immediately break something in the back mechanical room. (He will.)Then we dive headfirst into Valentine's Day drama. Rafe casually admits he made THREE dinner reservations “just in case,” which spirals into a full breakdown of modern dating strategy. Is that romantic preparedness or Cupid-level chaos? Meanwhile, we debate whether you break up before Valentine's Day or fake it through dessert like an emotional stunt double. Tough love was served hotter than a Longhorn ribeye.Speaking of Longhorn… a dad goes viral bragging that his son told his date to “get the tip” after he paid for dinner. The result? No tip. No second date. Just a waitress caught in the crossfire of a weird morality lesson. The crew does not hold back on this one. Spoiler alert: Rizz is Team Waitress.Oh, and yes — apparently there was a PokéStop on Epstein Island. We unpack how that even happens, how PokéStops work, and how the internet manages to make everything weirder than it already is.We also hit: • Britney vs Bieber catalog money debate • Nelson Mandela, Buster Douglas, and accidental Cheney history • Bands ditching talent agencies post-Epstein files • A Clownspiracy involving Orville Peck and Clownvis • And the ongoing saga of King Scott dressing like Austin Powers in publicIt's your favorite daily comedy show doing what we do best: taking real headlines, real life, and real awkwardness and turning it into something you can laugh at on your commute (worth $8,158 annually, apparently).If you're into pop culture chaos, sarcastic humor, St. Louis energy, and a group of friends who probably overshare for a living, this daily comedy show is your safe place.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Olympian Sturla Holm Lægreid Holds Back Tears as He Admits to Affair in Live TV Interview After Medal WinPokémon Go Players Kept Swarming The Epstein Island Pokéstop, Forcing Devs To Remove ItFormer substitute teacher accused of sexual relationship with minorMissouri lawmakers propose easing vehicle inspection rulesToyota recalls 141K vehicles over doors that could open while driving4 people have died from eating death cap mushrooms as they spread in California after rainsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This Day in Legal History: Nelson Mandela ReleasedOn February 11, 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from Victor Verster Prison in South Africa after 27 years of incarceration, marking a seismic shift in the country's legal and political landscape. Mandela's release followed a period of secret negotiations between the apartheid government and the African National Congress (ANC), and it signaled the beginning of the end of apartheid—a system of institutionalized racial segregation and oppression upheld by law. His imprisonment had become a global symbol of the fight against racial injustice and was frequently challenged by international human rights organizations and legal scholars as a violation of fundamental human rights.Mandela had been convicted in 1964 of sabotage and other charges under South Africa's Suppression of Communism Act, following the infamous Rivonia Trial. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, spending much of his sentence on Robben Island under harsh conditions. Over the decades, growing international sanctions and internal unrest made apartheid increasingly untenable.Then-President F.W. de Klerk's government began rolling back apartheid legislation in the late 1980s, and on February 2, 1990, de Klerk announced the unbanning of the ANC and his intention to release Mandela. Just nine days later, Mandela walked free, delivering a speech in Cape Town that emphasized reconciliation, peace, and the continuation of the struggle for full democratic rights.Mandela's release was not just a political milestone—it was a legal one, too. It reflected a move away from laws based on racial supremacy and toward a constitutional order grounded in human rights. This transformation would culminate in South Africa's 1996 Constitution, often lauded for its rights-based framework and independent judiciary.The Trump administration's plan to repeal the EPA's 2009 endangerment finding—the scientific basis for regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act—could reignite legal efforts to hold polluters accountable through public nuisance lawsuits. That finding enabled the EPA to regulate emissions from vehicles and power plants, but its reversal removes the legal framework that had previously shielded companies from such claims under a 2011 Supreme Court ruling. In that decision, the Court held that the EPA's authority under the Clean Air Act displaced common-law nuisance suits against emitters. Without that EPA oversight, legal scholars believe plaintiffs may now argue that the courts are once again an appropriate venue for these claims.Public nuisance lawsuits, typically filed by states or municipalities, seek to hold companies accountable for harms caused to community health and safety. These cases have been historically difficult to win due to challenges in proving direct causation, but experts say the new regulatory gap could encourage a wave of litigation. Industry groups like the Edison Electric Institute have warned that repealing the endangerment finding could expose utilities to costly legal battles. While federal courts had largely blocked such claims, state courts have shown more openness, and the shift in federal policy may strengthen these legal efforts. Environmental advocates may now have renewed leverage to push power companies and other emitters into court.Trump's repeal of climate rule opens a ‘new front' for litigation | ReutersAttorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee this week amid intensifying legal scrutiny over the Justice Department's management of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Lawmakers are expected to question Bondi about what they view as excessive redactions and the DOJ's withholding of key documents, actions that may conflict with a bipartisan federal law passed in 2025 mandating the broad release of Epstein-related materials. Legal analysts suggest the DOJ's reliance on legal privileges—such as investigatory and deliberative process exemptions—to justify redactions could face stiff challenges in court or through congressional oversight powers.The situation raises constitutional tensions between legislative oversight and executive privilege, particularly as the House panel, now under Republican control, examines whether the DOJ is shielding politically sensitive information. Some members of Congress have accused the Department of undermining transparency and potentially violating the statutory intent of the Epstein Disclosure Act, which narrowed the DOJ's discretion in withholding records tied to convicted sex offenders or deceased suspects like Epstein.Bondi's DOJ has been accused of prioritizing partisan enforcement over institutional neutrality, illustrated by failed prosecutions of Trump critics and an aggressive posture on immigration and protest-related cases. The sidelining of the DOJ's civil rights division and the refusal to investigate federal shootings has further fueled concerns over selective enforcement and erosion of prosecutorial independence. Bondi's testimony will serve as a key moment to defend the Department's use of legal redactions and its broader approach to politically charged prosecutions.Bondi to face questions on Epstein files in House testimony | ReutersInstagram chief Adam Mosseri is set to testify in a Los Angeles courtroom this week in a groundbreaking lawsuit that could reshape how U.S. law approaches the intersection of product design and youth mental health. The case centers on a 20-year-old plaintiff who alleges she became addicted to Instagram as a child due to its deliberately addictive interface—particularly the “endless scroll” feature that loads content continuously to hold user attention. Her lawyers argue that Instagram's design choices amount to a form of negligent product engineering that failed to account for known risks to children.This case raises novel legal questions: Can user interface (UI) design be treated as a defective product under tort law? Can tech companies be held liable not just for content but for the architecture of the platforms themselves? If the court accepts these arguments, it could establish precedent for treating addictive design as a public health harm similar to tobacco or opioid marketing practices.Mosseri is expected to face questioning over internal documents that, according to the plaintiff, show Meta was aware of the app's mental health impact on vulnerable teens. Meta counters that these documents reflect efforts to mitigate harm, not evidence of negligence. Still, the case may test the limits of Section 230 immunity, as it focuses not on third-party content, but the platform's own design—potentially sidestepping the traditional legal shield for tech companies.Hundreds of similar cases are pending, and this trial may serve as a bellwether for litigation nationwide. International developments, including Australia's ban on social media for children under 16, suggest this is a growing legal frontier.Instagram's leader to testify in court on app design, youth mental health | ReutersNovo Nordisk's recent patent infringement lawsuit against Hims & Hers marks a pivotal legal development in the pharmaceutical industry's battle with telehealth providers distributing compounded drugs. The suit, filed in Delaware federal court, targets Hims' sales of compounded semaglutide—the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic—claiming these formulations infringe Novo's patents. While compounding is allowed under certain FDA exemptions, those exemptions do not shield pharmacies or telehealth platforms from patent liability. This case challenges the assumption that FDA compliance protects against infringement claims, exposing a gray area where regulatory and intellectual property regimes collide.Historically, brand-name drugmakers focused on trademark challenges over how compounded drugs were marketed. Novo's move into patent litigation signals a strategic escalation: it's not about branding anymore—it's about the act of making and selling the compound itself. Experts highlight that this is likely the first time a brand drug company has pursued patent claims directly against a compounding pharmacy or telehealth distributor, suggesting the industry now sees these entities as substantial commercial threats.The case also underscores a novel enforcement strategy: suing the telehealth platform facilitating sales rather than the dispersed network of compounding pharmacies, streamlining legal action and potentially setting precedent for centralized liability. Hims, already under regulatory scrutiny, had just halted plans to sell compounded semaglutide pills but remains a target due to its involvement in injectable forms.The outcome of this case may clarify how FDA-sanctioned compounding intersects with patent protections and could define the boundaries for how far telehealth companies can go in offering customized versions of patented drugs.Novo's GLP-1 Patent Suit Against Hims Takes Aim at Compounding This is a public episode.

Actualmente, en algunos países del mundo existe una lucha de géneros, donde las mujeres han sido relegadas en la participación en disciplinas como la tecnología, las ciencias o las matemáticas (STEM, por sus siglas en inglés). Por esta razón, este día fue decretado para darle voz y un lugar a las mujeres y a las niñas en todo el planeta, para que tengan un rol protagonista en aquellas áreas de la ciencia, que sean esenciales para el desarrollo humano. 1858 – En Lourdes (Francia), Bernadette Soubirous afirma haber tenido la primera aparición de la Virgen, origen de uno de los principales centros de peregrinación del mundo. 1929 – Se firman los Pactos de Letrán entre la Santa Sede y el Reino de Italia, por los que se reconoce oficialmente el Estado de la Ciudad del Vaticano. 1945 – Finaliza la Conferencia de Yalta, en la que Churchill, Roosevelt y Stalin deciden el futuro político de Europa tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. 1975 – El Reino Unido publica el Libro Blanco sobre la futura independencia del Sáhara Occidental, en pleno proceso de descolonización española. 1979 – Triunfa la Revolución Islámica en Irán con la caída del Sha Mohammad Reza Pahlevi y el ascenso del ayatolá Jomeini. 1990 – Nelson Mandela sale en libertad tras 27 años de prisión, un paso decisivo hacia el fin del apartheid en Sudáfrica. 2002 – El Tribunal Penal Internacional de La Haya entra oficialmente en funcionamiento, reforzando la justicia penal internacional. 2011 – Comienzan en Egipto las celebraciones tras la dimisión de Hosni Mubarak, en el contexto de la Primavera Árabe.

The Nelson Mandela Rules Training Academy will be officially opened at Drakenstein Correctional Centre by President Cyril Ramaphosa. Formerly known as Victor Verster Prison, the facility holds profound historical significance as the place from which Nelson Mandela walked to freedom on 10 February 1990. The Nelson Mandela Rules are the UN-adopted 2015 revised Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners. They serve as the universally recognised, comprehensive blueprint for humane prison management, emphasising dignity, non-discrimination, and specific, strictly defined standards for safety, healthcare, and discipline.

Nelson Mandela war der erste schwarze, demokratisch gewählte Präsident Südafrikas. Zuvor sass er 27 Jahre lang in politischer Gefangenschaft, weil er gegen die Apartheid, die Rassentrennung, in Südafrika kämpfte. Heute vor 36 Jahren wurde Nelson Mandela freigelassen.
Tällä historiallisella päivämäärällä ensimmäinen höyrylaiva patentointiin. Myös kaasutin sai patenttinsa. Nelson Mandela vapautettiin vankilasta pitkän tuomion jälkeen. Suomi sai Sarajevon Olympialaisista sekä Innsbruckin Olympialaisista kultaa. Alexander Stubb valittiin presidentiksi.
Neo Dube- Resource Mobilisation at Nelson Mandela Children's Fund spoke to Clarence about how the Fund has evolved over three decades to respond to the changing realities facing children, families, and communities, while drawing a direct line between Mandela’s release, a powerful symbol of freedom and moral leadership and the ongoing, unfinished work of safeguarding children’s dignity and futures today.

Buenas, aquí nuestro podcast prometido. Frente al aire de discursos de división y de acciones de cruel injusticia que suceden en el mundo, exploramos la arquitectura del Apartheid en Sudáfrica: un sistema levantado sobre leyes, mitos bíblicos y un racismo que se pretendía 'científico' para invisibilizar a un pueblo. Pero también narraremos la respuesta desde la verdad y la humanidad: la dignidad organizada de figuras como Gandhi, Luthuli, Biko y Mandela. Veremos cómo la conciencia y la No violencia demostraron que ningún sistema de opresión, por sofisticado y estructurado que sea, puede apagar el espíritu de libertad. Porque del mismo sitio donde se origina la peor crueldad también puede levantarse la esperanza que ilumine al mundo. Notas del episodio: La estructura del Apartheid Una utopía nefasta: las aspiraciones puestas en el Apartheid La vida de Mahatma Gandhi en Sudáfrica John Langalibalele Dube: resistencia frente a la injusticia (en inglés) Albert Luthuli: la existencia y la lucha entregada a la No violencia El discurso de unidad de Nelson Mandela para superar el Apartheid Contactanos en: www.dianauribe.fm Sigue mis proyectos en otros lugares: YouTube ➔ youtube.com/@DianaUribefm Instagram ➔ instagram.com/dianauribe.fm Facebook ➔ facebook.com/dianauribe.fm Sitio web ➔ dianauribe.fm Twitter ➔ x.com/DianaUribefm LinkedIn ➔ www.linkedin.com/in/diana-uribe Gracias de nuevo a nuestra comunidad de patreon por apoyar la producción de este episodio.

Send us a textI'm really excited to bring you this episode's guest. When I began ultramarathoning several decades ago, the only way I could learn about races and people in that space was through a black-and-white magazine delivered to my mailbox called Ultrarunning. It had pages and pages of mundane rows of race results that still held fascination for me. Plus stories about races in exotic-sounding places like Auburn, Calif. and where I first heard about this crazy race called the Barkley Marathons that at that time no one had ever finished, and long before Netflix, no one else but me and a few others had heard of. I also read about people who became my first idols in the sport like Marshall Ulrich and Roy Pirrung, who I've had the great honor to chat with both on this podcast and in-person. But one who absolutely left me in awe who I never got to meet was Ann Trason, who I got to see – briefly – when she zoomed past me on Hope Pass in the Leadville Trail 100 in the 90s. Ann won the Western States 100 a mind-boggling 14 times, twice less than two weeks after winning the Comrades Marathon in South Africa. Western States is considered the most prestigious 100-miler in the US, and Ann, who in 1994 set a course record of 17:37:51, now lives close to the 99-mile mark of the course. Comrades is the oldest ultramarathon in the world, having begun right after WW1, and is roughly 55 miles, and is so esteemed that the entire country basically shuts down to watch it. Very few Americans have ever won it. Ann set the Leadville course record of 18:06:24 in 1994 that was only broken this past year by Anne Flower. She finished second, not just among women, but overall. In 1996, she not only completed the Grand Slam of 100-milers – Western States, Leadville, Vermont, and Wasatch Front – but she won them all. Ann set 20 world records, including for 50 miles in 5:40:18 and 100K in 7:00:47. All the way back in 1987, Ann became a Nike-sponsored athlete when women's sports hadn't taken hold like they have today, and ultramarathoning hadn't achieved any of the attention and popularity it now has. Ann retired from ultramarathoning in the 2000s due to injuries and the onset of rheumatoid arthritis, which has ravaged her body. As a result of her many accomplishments, as well as her continuing contributions to the sport as a race director, coach, writer, supporter, and much more, she was inducted into the Ultrarunning Hall of Fame in 2020. After a long time out of the spotlight, Ann arrived at an Arizona race called Across the Years, which begins three days before New Year's and finishes three days after it, just wanting to engage with the ultrarunning community in her joyous way, and push her walker – with all of its lights and decorations – for some laps around the 1.41-mile looped course. I have spoken with several people who told me how delighted they were to get to chat with Ann out there, and in the end, one of the event's highlights was when she completed 100 miles and earned a buckle – all while pushing that walker. With such a long, colorful career, you can imagine that Ann and I cover a lot of ground in this very fun chat, including her talking with Nelson Mandela after she won Comrades, swapping hats with the Jester, the Grateful Dead, being vegetarian and a race director, including the best way to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at races, long-lost Nike shoe models, the fun of reading that old Ultrarunning magazine, her inspirations in the sport and those who have followed her, her relationship with her parents, and about the joy and gratitude she has for life and the running community.Ann TrasonInstagram @ann_trasonBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman
fWotD Episode 3197: Rosa Parks Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 4 February 2026, is Rosa Parks.Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005) was an American civil rights activist. She is best known for her 1955 refusal to move from her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in defiance of Jim Crow racial segregation laws, which sparked the Montgomery bus boycott. She is sometimes known as the "mother of the civil rights movement".Born in Tuskegee, Alabama, Parks grew up under Jim Crow segregation. She later moved to Montgomery and joined the city's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1943, serving as the organization's secretary. Despite policies designed to disenfranchise Black citizens, Parks successfully registered to vote after three separate attempts between 1943 and 1945. She investigated cases and organized campaigns around cases of racial and sexual violence in her capacity as NAACP secretary, including those of Recy Taylor and Jeremiah Reeves, laying the groundwork for future civil rights campaigns.Custom in Montgomery required Black passengers to surrender their seats in the front of the bus to accommodate white riders. The rows in the back were designated for Black riders. Before Parks's refusal to move, several Black Montgomerians had refused to do so, including 15-year-old high school student Claudette Colvin, leading to arrests. When Parks was arrested in 1955, local leaders were searching for a person who would be a good legal test case against segregation. She was deemed a suitable candidate, and the Women's Political Council (WPC) organized a one-day bus boycott on the day of her trial. The boycott was widespread. Many Black Montgomerians refused to ride the buses that day. After Parks was found guilty of violating state law, the boycott was extended indefinitely, with the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) organizing its own community transportation network to sustain it. Parks and other boycott leaders faced harassment, ostracization, and various legal obstacles. The boycott lasted for 381 days, finally concluding after segregation on buses was deemed unconstitutional in the court case Browder v. Gayle.After the boycott ended, Parks experienced financial hardship and health problems due, in part, to her participation. In 1957, she relocated to Detroit, Michigan. She continued to advocate for civil rights, supporting people such as John Conyers, Joanne Little, Gary Tyler, Angela Davis, Joe Madison, and Nelson Mandela. She was also a supporter of the Black power movement and an anti-apartheid activist, participating in protests and conferences as part of the Free South Africa Movement. In 1987, she co-founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development with Elaine Eason Steele. After Parks's death in 2005, she was honored with public viewings and memorial services in three cities: in Montgomery; in Washington, D. C., where she lay in state at the United States Capitol rotunda; and in Detroit, where she was ultimately interred at Woodlawn Cemetery. Parks received many awards and honors, both throughout her life and posthumously. She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Congressional Gold Medal, and was the first Black American to be memorialized in the National Statuary Hall.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:06 UTC on Wednesday, 4 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Rosa Parks on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.
Brooklyn/Botswana/Ariège x Paris/Londres/Kingston, à vos marques ! (Rediffusion) Notre 1ère invitée est l'artiste américaine Natalia M. King pour la sortie de son 8ème album Afroblues. Natalia M. King est une chanteuse, compositrice et guitariste américaine qui fusionne blues, jazz, soul et folk. Voix puissante du blues et du jazz modernes, elle captive par ses interprétations émouvantes. En 2025, elle franchit une nouvelle étape avec AfroBlues, un album mêlant pop dansante, afrobeat et sonorités blues. Son premier extrait, «Dumela», rend hommage à son voyage au Botswana, à sa terre rouge et à son peuple, capturant la beauté et la sagesse de ce lieu à travers sa musique. AfroBlues sera une fusion audacieuse des genres, réunissant les rythmes contagieux de l'afrobeat, des éléments de danse électronique et le soupçon de blues qui a défini sa carrière. Ce virage musical représente l'évolution continue de Natalia M. King en tant qu'artiste ne craignant pas d'expérimenter de nouveaux sons et styles. L'album est une exploration du rythme, de l'énergie et de la fusion culturelle, autour des thèmes de l'autonomisation, de la joie et de la résilience qui sont au cœur de l'album. Grâce à sa capacité à mélanger divers éléments musicaux, AfroBlues promet d'être un ajout unique et passionnant à sa discographie. À propos du premier single «Dumela» : Il existe un petit «Royaume-Uni» qui borde l'Afrique du Sud de Nelson Mandela. Une merveilleuse opportunité, par le biais de l'amour, m'y a transportée au printemps 2024 dans le merveilleux pays africain du Botswana. Les paysages, les odeurs et les sons m'ont rappelé des souvenirs oubliés. «Dumela», qui signifie bonjour en setswana (ou tswana), est mon hommage à cette mémoire oubliée et aux belles âmes que j'ai rencontrées là-bas. Je remercie les pluies et la terre rouge qui m'ont inspirée... Dumela Botswana ! Dumela Afrique ! Merci pour votre sagesse et nous nous reverrons. Natalia M. King Titres interprétés au grand studio - Dumela Live RFI - Lost & Everywhere, extrait de l'album - I Love A Woman Live RFI. Line Up : Natalia M. King (voix, guitare), Vince Laurent (batterie) & Damien Argentieri (claviers & moog). Son : Mathias Taylor & Jérémie Besset ► Album AfroBlues (Natalia M. King / Modulor 2025). Instagram - Facebook - YouTube. Puis nous recevons l'artiste britannique ALA.NI pour la sortie de Sunshine Music Lorsque ALA.NI a commencé à écrire Sunshine Music, son troisième album, l'hiver parisien de 2023 battait son plein, avec un froid mordant. Composant sous des couches de couettes dans son appartement de l'Opéra, elle puisait sa chaleur non pas dans son environnement, mais dans les souvenirs du soleil des Caraïbes qu'elle venait de quitter. Ce qui devait être un voyage de deux semaines en décembre 2020 s'est transformé en deux ans et demi entre la Barbade, la Grenade — où ses parents avaient grandi — puis la Jamaïque, un long séjour qui lui a offert un nouveau sentiment d'identité. «Vivre en Jamaïque, c'était la première fois que j'habitais dans un pays à majorité noire», dit-elle. «Les Jamaïcains sont très eux-mêmes, sans s'excuser. J'ai choisi de vivre à Paris, et je me sens plus moi-même, plus expressive et plus à l'aise ici qu'à Londres, et davantage appréciée et reconnue en tant qu'artiste aussi. Mais il y a des microagressions et des microracismes auxquels nous devons faire face chaque jour en tant que personnes de couleur. Quand je suis sortie de cet environnement, je me suis dit : «Merde, c'est ça que je gérais tout ce temps.» J'avançais simplement en acceptant certains comportements négatifs comme un acte de survie mentale.» En Jamaïque, elle a collaboré avec Sly Dunbar, l'un des batteurs légendaires de l'île, le sortant presque de sa retraite pour une session improvisée. Sunshine Music vibre du souvenir de cette chaleur : une tapisserie d'influences mêlant calypso, jazz, bossa nova et le grand répertoire d'après-guerre, le tout tissé par la voix et la sensibilité singulières d'ALA.NI. Tout au long de l'album, des styles familiers sont honorés sans pastiche : la langueur du reggae, le souffle d'un rythme bossa nova, la diction nette du théâtre musical. Titres interprétés au grand studio - Seaweed Live RFI - Tief, extrait de l'album - This is Why Live RFI. Line Up : Ala.ni (chant), Thomas Naïm (guitare) Son : Mathias Taylor, Benoît Letirant ► Album Sunshine Music (No Format 2025).

A spokesman for Britain's prime minister, Keir Starmer, has said President Trump was wrong to diminish the role of NATO troops during the war in Afghanistan. There's been an angry backlash to the US president's claims that NATO allies avoided the frontline during the conflict. The Polish defence minister said the sacrifice of their troops should not be forgotten. The Dutch foreign minister described Mr Trump's comments as false. Roughly a third of coalition soldiers killed in Afghanistan were non- American. Also: the BBC is granted rare access to one of Ukraine's few operating nuclear power plants; South Africa says Nelson Mandela memorabilia can be auctioned; women's health is on the agenda at the World Economic Forum; limit on liquids is scrapped at London's Heathrow airport; and can ageing novelists retire?The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

World leaders and army veterans have rejected President Trump's claim that Nato service personnel did not fight on the front lines or play a key part during the US-led war in Afghanistan. We speak to a former secretary general of Nato, whose alliance sent thousands of international troops to fight during the invasion.Also in the programme: grim reports continue to emerge from Iran; why Nelson Mandela's family is fighting to keep his belongings from an auction; and does celebrated political scientist Francis Fukuyama believe this is the end of the "rules-based" international order?(Photo: US President Donald Trump speaks as he meets with Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington DC, US, October 22, 2025.

Take a Leap of Faith into the Vitality Zone PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTVitality often comes from subtraction, not additionA 24-hour phone failure became an unplanned experiment in awareness. Stepping away from constant digital stimulation clarified thinking, heightened presence, and improved both mental vitality and performance—reinforcing the idea that intentional disconnection can be a powerful vitality practiceRemembering mortality sharpens how we liveReflecting on the inevitability of death is framed not as morbid, but as liberating. Awareness of limited time helps clarify priorities, deepen presence, and guide choices toward a life one can feel at peace with in the endEarly excellence is overrated; performance trajectories are non-linearA large 2025 study of ~34,000 elite performers shows that most world-class achievers were not early prodigies. Peak adult performance more often emerges from gradual development, not early dominance or hyper-specializationBroad, multidisciplinary exploration builds “learning capital”Diverse early and ongoing experiences cultivate flexible thinking, creativity, and pattern recognition. This “learning capital” enables later breakthroughs and reduces burnout, injury, and disengagement—supporting sustained excellence across science, sports, music, and careersIt is never too late to become a heroHistorical examples—from Francis Crick and Marie Curie to Darwin, Diana Nyad, Ben Franklin, and Nelson Mandela—demonstrate that transformative impact often occurs in midlife and beyond.

My guest is Robyn Curnow, a native South African who spent over two decades at CNN, where she hosted CNN's Newsroom, and anchored The International Desk with Robyn Curnow. Prior to that, she served as the network's Africa correspondent out of Johannesburg and covered Europe out of CNN's London Bureau. If you don't recognize her name, I bet you'll recognize her distinctive voice because you likely saw her interviews with some of the most prominent people of our lifetimes, including Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Robyn has covered news stories as diverse and dynamic as Africa's HIV/AIDS epidemic, the rise of Boko Haram, the 2010 World Cup, and the murder of Jammal Khashoggi. This work earned her and her colleagues multiple Emmy nominations, the Royal Television Society Award, and the duPont-Columbia Award. On her new podcast, Searching for America—which I love—Robyn explores our society and culture through the eyes of a new-comer. Like a modern-day de Tocqueville, she offers a sincerely interested outsider's perspective on the quirks of American life, including the Halloween Industrial complex, the obsession with high school graduation and college acceptance, turducken, and—most importantly—our collective love of Dolly Parton. She lives in Atlanta where she and I serve on a school board together.

Asamoah Gyan sits down for a special episode of Rio Presents exploring how he became one of the highest paid players in the world and the pitfalls that come with money and fame in such quantities. Both Gyan and Rio are strident in their belief that AFCON should be treated in the same way as other major continental tournaments (Euros and Copa America) rather than being played during the European domestic football season. Gyan reveals how confidence helped build him into the most recognised face in Ghana along with the struggles he faces when dealing with that level of fame. He also reveals the pressure a letter from Nelson Mandela added to his Ghanaian team during the first World Cup to be held in Africa and discusses why players from the continent aren't respected in the same way as their European or South American counterparts.

“What is art? On its basest level I think it's the communication of emotion.” - Chris Orcutt Memory Mining & 80s Magic In this episode of the Art Unknown Podcast, Jim Wills chats with Chris Orcutt, a writer and educator, in a reflective dialogue on art, memory, and creativity. They connect over their shared experiences growing up in the 1980s, using this as a backdrop to explore how art preserves culture and identity. Chris shares insights into his creative process for his nine-book series, Bodaciously True and Totally Awesome, set in the mid-1980s. He describes his unique approach of disconnecting from the internet, immersing himself in 80s artifacts, and drafting on typewriters to capture the era's essence. His "memory mining" technique focuses on emotions to organically reveal past details. The discussion covers Chris's inspirations, the impact of 9/11 on his work, and his shift from genre fiction to more personal narratives. The conversation then explores generational differences, discussing themes of freedom, self-reliance, and the effects of technology on creativity. The episode delves into patience and artistic discipline, drawing wisdom from Nelson Mandela and John Steinbeck, and concludes with a discourse on AI, technology, and the preservation of human memory. Ultimately, this episode is a meditation on art as a vessel for emotional truth, emphasizing progress over perfection in enduring creative endeavors. chris orcutt website chris orcutt facebook Subscribe: iTunes | Android | Spotify | Email | RSS MORE ART UNKNOWN PODCASTS

You remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison, the Berenstain Bears spelled differently, and Darth Vader saying "Luke, I am your father" — but none of that ever happened. From the JFK assassination to The Wizard of Oz, we're exploring the unsettling phenomenon where millions of people share the exact same false memories.IN THIS EPISODE: Do parallel dimensions really exist? And if they do, is it possible to travel to them? Two people have stories that might have you believing you can – one of them having “Lunch In a Different Dimension”. Meanwhile, a very strange phenomenon that has been reported by vast swaths of the population is known as “The Mandela Effect” which entails a mass misremembering of events, facts, or details. These can involve everything from pop culture to historical events, and often leave those who are faced with a reality much different than they remember in shock or bewilderment. Indeed, the history that you know, read about, and are sure is set in stone may not be so at all, and there seem to be alternate mysterious timelines of history that exist side by side with our memories and the reality we think we know. Could this also be related to parallel dimensions? *** While St. Augustine gets all the attention, a small island just south of the Georgia border hides a treasure trove of paranormal legends most people have never heard of. From cursed pirate gold and a ghost who slit his own throat to avoid hanging, to phantom shoes that wander between hotel rooms, Amelia Island might be Florida's most overlooked haunted destination.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Thin Veil Between Worlds00:00:50.456 = Show Open00:03:00.123 = Interdimensional History00:22:11.122 = *** Mandela At The Movies00:39:26.957 = *** Parallel Dimensions00:53:17.226 = *** The Ghosts of Amelia Island00:59:36.210 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakSOURCES and RESOURCES:“Lunch in a Different Dimension” by Jason Offutt for Mysterious Universe: http://bit.ly/2RXe3XF;http://bit.ly/2FSGH7r“The Mandela Effect” by Brent Swancer for Mysterious Universe: http://bit.ly/2Y3ZxCX, http://bit.ly/2XIOqQp“The Ghosts of Amelia Island” by Chaz CMP for Paranormality Magazine (link no longer available)=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Juan Carlos 1er d'Espagne. Laurence Debray "Réconciliation" (Stock)Si après presque quarante ans de règne, Juan Carlos Ier d'Espagne prend la plume, fait rarissime en soi, c'est que son exil à Abu Dhabi, les reportages à sensation dans la presse dite people, les erreurs d'un roi qui est aussi un homme avec ses faiblesses, ont obscurci ce qui a été une réussite démocratique exemplaire.Cette histoire est celle d'un pays, dirigé par un général austère, partisan d'une autocratie militarisée et catholique, Francisco Franco, qui choisit au mépris de la règle dynastique de succession, un jeune prince inexpérimenté pour lui succéder. C'est celle de ce monarque qui fera basculer une Espagne en noir et blanc en un état moderne, démocratique, prospère et coloré.De Giscard d'Estaing à sa cousine, la reine Elizabeth II du Royaume-Uni, de Nelson Mandela aux Bush père et fils, ces mémoires riches en images fortes et en anecdotes savoureuses voient revivre ce Roi Lear que ne visite plus son fils, le roi Felipe VI, et qui, le crépuscule venant, pense comme tout un chacun à sa terre aimée.Il ne cache rien de ses regrets, et parle comme quelqu'un qui sait qu'il n'a plus beaucoup de temps, à coeur ouvert.Musique: "Renaissance" de Shani Diluka Hébergé par Ausha.

Le Grand reportage week-end de ce samedi est consacré à l'Afrique du Sud puis à la France. 30 ans après la création par Nelson Mandela de la fameuse Commission Vérité et Réconciliation, une innovation en matière de justice pour essayer de panser les plaies de l'apartheid, mais des suspects de crimes n'ont toujours pas été inquiétés... En seconde partie, nous revenons sur la situation dans les campagnes françaises où là où les médecins manquent. (Rediffusion) 30 ans plus tard, l'ombre des crimes de l'apartheid continue de planer sur l'Afrique Le 19 juillet 1995 était signée, par Nelson Mandela, la loi qui créait la Commission vérité et réconciliation. Une expérience de justice restaurative pour tenter de panser les terribles plaies de l'apartheid. Une dynamique qui a créé des émules partout dans le monde. Mais aujourd'hui, le bilan est finalement assez mitigé, car les suspects qui n'ont pas obtenu d'amnistie n'ont jamais été inquiétés par les tribunaux. Le temps n'efface pas tout et désormais, les familles des victimes veulent des réponses. Un Grand reportage de Claire Bargelès et Vincent Hugues qui s'entretiennent avec Jacques Allix. Alerte aux soins en zones rurales La désertification médicale touche 85% du territoire français, 9 millions de personnes sont concernées. Selon le ministère de la Santé, cela devrait s'aggraver. En Lozère, département le moins peuplé de France, il n'y a qu'une maternité, et qu'un seul centre d'urgence, à l'hôpital de Mende. Les pompiers mettent en moyenne 25 minutes pour toucher au but, contre 14 minutes à l'échelle nationale. Une proposition de loi, la loi Garot chemine entre les assemblées pour essayer d'amener les professionnels de santé à tenter l'aventure. Un Grand reportage de Justine Rodier qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.
This week, McKay invites listeners to join him in exploring the concept of destiny, and how it is a precious gift available to each and every one of us. Seizing this opportunity here today, our learned host encourages us all to believe in our destiny as a powerful catalyst for transformation that offers a pathway to a more purpose-driven and fulfilling existence.McKay begins by delving deeply into the life of James Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, examining how destiny played a pivotal role in his remarkable story, and goes on to explore themes of resilience, self-belief, and the profound impact of embracing one's destiny. From a life-altering accident to finding purpose and success, this episode demonstrates that recognizing and embracing your destiny can rewrite the script of your life. The episode also underscores that age is no barrier to realizing your destiny, citing inspiring stories of such notable individuals as Tiger Woods, Julie Andrews, and Nelson Mandela, who discovered their destinies at various stages in life. As McKay urges, do not let your opportunity pass you by—know that your destiny is well within your reach, understand that it might just be the driving force you need to transform your life, and take steps today to make it a reality.Episode Highlights:The concept of destiny and how it shapes our livesSome examples of the role destiny has played in people's livesThe power of believing in one's destiny and the potential for transformationDestiny unveiled in the midst of adversityThe power of words in shaping destinyAge is no barrier to destinyYour destiny awaitsQuotes:"Providence only could have saved my life,' he wrote years later, struggling to understand all that had happened to him in the intervening years. ‘Providence, therefore, thinks I am worth saving.'""When you give yourself to that feeling, to that destiny, you will find you. It will enrich and bring more meaning into your life.""But every day, in every walk of life, ordinary people do extraordinary things. You have a destiny, and you are extraordinary.""Regardless of our poor choices or mistakes or our past, we can change and choose the path that leads to our destiny.""There are men and women who make the world better just by being the kind of people they are.""Don't say, ‘I'm too old.'

In this classic episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton welcomes Lushentha Naidoo, Managing Director of the European Supplier Diversity Program (ESDP), for a candid conversation on purpose-driven leadership and the business value of inclusive procurement. Drawing on a 14-year transformation career at Unilever and a personal journey from apartheid-era South Africa to global operations leadership, Lushentha shares how caring as a leadership “superpower” can fuel innovation, save jobs, and build psychologically safe teams. She explains how supplier diversity isn't charity. It's a competitive advantage that increases agility, strengthens resilience, and unlocks fresh thinking when disruption hits.She also breaks down how ESDP bridges corporates and diverse suppliers through a fast-growing database, networking events, and the Inclusive Procurement Academy, teaching pitching, storytelling, and “corporate readiness.” From real success stories (mentorship that kept a founder in the fight) to pragmatic guidance for senior leaders doubling down on DEI, this conversation offers actionable takeaways: define the why, build inclusive cultures, and widen the supplier funnel so the best partner wins.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(03:18) Lushentha's inspirational journey to Easter Island(06:50) Growing up during Apartheid(12:53) The impact of Nelson Mandela's leadership(17:40) Lushentha's professional journey at Unilever(23:45) The power of diversity and inclusion(26:01) The transition to the European Supplier Diversity Program (ESDP)(29:09) Lushentha's advice for corporate leaders(32:17) Challenges for women in the workplace(33:52) What ESDP does, its mission, and its impact(44:06) The importance of inclusivity and DEIAdditional Links & Resources:Connect with Lushentha Naidoo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lushentha-naidoo-99730439 Learn more about ESDP: https://esdp-org.eu/ Connect with Scott Luton: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottwindonluton/Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.comSubscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

In this episode, Megan and Frank investigate the Mandela Effect. Why do so many people "remember" Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s, or the Fruit of the Loom logo as containing a cornucopia, or the existence of a movie starring Sinbad as a genie? What explains these collective mis-rememberings: parallel dimensions, a government cover-up, a glitch in the matrix? Or should we just conclude that human memory is inherently unreliable? How do false memories arise, and how can we distinguish the real from the imagined? Despite our cultural obsession with preserving every memory, could there be some value in forgetting the past? Thinkers discussed include Augustine of Hippo, Friedrich Nietzsche, Edmund Husserl, and Elizabeth Loftus.Hosts' Websites:Megan J Fritts (google.com)Frank J.
