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. Join us as we navigate these complex topics, offering insights on career growth, identity, and allyship while fostering a platform for underrepresented voices.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/

This is not about a bunch of white people saving face or ego - this is about the space for long difficult discussions that have not taken place since 1948    

There are 64 million Latinos in the United States – nearly 20% of the population. By 2050, it's projected that a third of the country's population will be Latino. But despite being such a significant part of the country, Latinos are still often viewed as being immigrants, not fully American – even though they've been a part of American life for centuries. Join us as host Eddie Robinson chats candidly with renowned author and journalist, Marie Arana. Her latest book, LatinoLand: A Portrait of America's Largest and Least Understood Minority, draws from hundreds of interviews and expansive research that not only examine the diverse background of the fastest-growing minority in this country, but also the importance of understanding their history and contributions to this country. Arana, who also served as the inaugural Literary Director of the Library of Congress, shares her own provocative story from growing up in Lima, Peru to arriving in Summit, New Jersey in the wake of the murder of Emmett Till – an African American teen whose death reinvigorated the Civil Rights Movement. She tells I SEE U that Latinos have largely been invisible with a cultural influence that has for too long been dismissed or hidden from public view. Her mission is to encourage all Americans to discover more about this burgeoning population—while the Latino community grapples with understanding its own past, its promising future and its inherent power.

Country music is often referred to as the quintessential American music – and yet the contributions and influences of Black Americans is often erased and ignored. A prime example: Members of the Carter family were among country music's first big stars, producing some of the earliest commercial recordings in the 1920s. While the Carters are celebrated to this day, few know the name of Lesley Riddle, a Black musician who was instrumental in developing the Carter sound. Even the banjo – an instrument most associated with Appalachia where A.P. Carter and Lesley Riddle researched folk music – has had its African roots neglected over time. The rich cultural legacy of this American genre is only recently getting reexamined as African Americans and other communities of color are telling their own stories and histories of contribution to the origins of country music.     As Houston's own Beyoncé drops her most recent album, “Cowboy Carter”, some are saying that an artist mostly linked to R&B and hip-hop has no business on the country charts or airwaves. But the owners of a new music enterprise in Houston would respectfully disagree as they live the country life right here in Space City.   Join us as I SEE U's Eddie Robinson chats with the founders of LaChachere Music Group (LMG), a premiere country music entertainment company based in Houston and Nashville. Owners Dennis Chachere and Ahsaki LaFrance-Chachere stop by our Third Ward studios — just blocks away from Queen Bey's childhood home. We'll dive deep into why there remains tension in country music spaces when Black artists desire the spotlight — a notion Beyoncé modestly referred to in a recent Instagram post. Plus, LMG artist, singer-songwriter Caleb James, breaks out his guitar and offers up powerful vocals reminiscent of Charley Pride in an exclusive, live in-studio performance of his latest single, “Just a Few Things.”

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/

Will stops buy to give us his take on AI, guns in movies, & music intrests.

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/

We as Black Women have a duty to ourselves to protect our self esteem, build confidence in who we are, our careers and the fundamentals of what makes us who we are.

This episode should have really been entitled 'A Phased Return' a slight play of words if you understand the context. What happens in politics usually finds itself in the office including the pricks and false narratives pushed for the success of the corrupt.In this episode we round up things I have missed whist I have been away. I also share my hypochondriac boss taking credit for my work and removing my signature replacing it as hers and passing it off as her own.

The Chairman of the Nigeria Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has warned Nigerians not to travel to Northern Cyprus. Dabiri-Erewa says there is little the Federal Government can do to diplomatically resolve issues in the territory because Northern Cyprus is not recognised by the international community except Turkey. Dabiri-Erewa also urged Nigerians in Diaspora not to be afraid to invest in the country because of insecurity. She says it is only temporary because of stiff measures currently employed by the Federal Government to tackle the situation.

In this episode I will be discussing why as Black women we accept crumbs instead of an apology that consists of acceptance and accountability. Why as Black Women do we allow those outside of our community to continuously use us and our trauma to make money. Why are we all too willing to see self appointed allies as Messiahs' of social justice. What is clear is the weaponisation of 'be kind' and mental health to evade accountability. The issue isn't  where one sticks their foot or their pursuits in the bedroom. It is about racism and the use of racism  by night and the pretence of allieship by day.We will also be discussing how to protect your job from those seeking to piggy-back on your shoulders to advance their careers.This episode also includes x2 dilemmasReferenced Podcast Episode: 'B.A.M.E - Our Racial Experiences are not the same: Defining & Clarifying Boundaries'.https://open.spotify.com/episode/408YzZFKrkIiPJS0Fa1YL8?si=MXoKov3lQiCU4vukK7EIFQEmail me:  hello@toyatalks.com    Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast)    Snapchat: @toyawashington   Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks   YouTube: At Home With Toya  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbXlRNLSYLuA9GbPB8cUYvQ  www.toyatalks.com https://toyatalks.com/

My next guest is a household name, although there are many aspects of his life and career that I was unaware of and I'm sure you'll find this episode equally fascinating and inspirational.We talk about his travels and work all over the globe, dealing with racism in Sydney when he was a kid back in the ‘70s and we discuss his passion and love of food.Everyone has a story and today I'd like you to meet Peter Kuruvita.

Susan Tran is a Vietnamese Canadian who was kidnapped from her mother in Vietnam at the age of two. But she never knew that she even had a mother because her abductor was her own father, intent on keeping her abduction a secret. After immigrating to Canada, Susan discovered that her mother's strength and resilience was the foundation for her own self empowerment. Which now allows her to fully embrace her own family and culture, and also empowers her to confront Canada's special brand of deep seated racism head on without reservation.FROM THE EPISODE:  During that time my dad actually tried to escape Vietnam twice without us and he was going to leave us behind. And he got caught twice and got sent back. The third time, this is when my mom kind of had it, right, and she had taken me back and my dad being the proud Vietnamese man he was was just not going to have it. So he, uh, I was playing in the backyard and he kidnapped me from the backyard.I was two and a half. My dad really wanted to stick it to my mom and that's the reason why he kidnapped me. Because he could not fathom a woman telling him what he could do. I absolutely remember none of it and I have a pretty good memory. I can remember as far back vividly as age 5, but anything before that. sometimes I have to wonder if it was so traumatic that I somehow locked that away. And my mom has all these wonderful memories of me when I was a child and I can't remember a thing.I actually came here with nine of my uncles. It was eight of my uncles and two friends, but we're Vietnamese. Everyone is your uncle. Everyone is your aunt. I am pretty sure that they had couriers during this time to bring people along, you know, agents who'd say, “Hey I got a way to get you out of Vietnam, right, you just have to pay me this and I'll get you across” but you know everyone knows that's a gamble.I don't know if you've ever seen the scene where there's a helicopter coming down on the embassy and everyone is trying to get on that plane? That was it. That was the last time, right, anything after you're on your own.And we had to crawl through, like, open sewers and the jungle, and like this is all things that my dad had told me and it was not a short short trip. You're eating bugs, trying to stay alive, trying to escape, trying to get to the water. Where we got on a boat and we floated with a bunch of other people. Really not knowing where you're floating. And you know, these aren't boats that are modern by any sense. Sometimes they're rafts, right and there is, you know, a hundred people on them and there's no food cause we can't carry any food hardly with us. So you've got people that are dying around you and they're sick, right, there's not much. You have to make some hard decisions.And thankfully we got to Thailand and we're admitted to a refugee camp there. I believe that was in July of 1981 and we were there for two months and anybody who's ever been in a refugee camp can tell you it's the worst place possible. It's not even roughing it, there's nothing, and there's nothing to go around because there's so many people there.What you do in the refugee camps is they go around, they say ok where would you like to go and my dad said he would really like to go to Japan but Japan was I think something like six months away and that's a maybe if they're going to take you. But they're like we have a plane that's leaving in two weeks and it's going to Canada.They gave my dad two choices: Prince Rupert or Vancouver, and I'm very thankful he chose Vancouver. I think my life would be completely different otherwise.  [END EPISODE TRANSCRIPT]Produced, directed, reported, edited, and sound designed by Luz Fleming. Production Assistant: Davis Lloyd.

Steff Lebsack became a speech-language pathologist because she has an older brother, Jasper, who is a person who stutters. Steff focuses clinically on the treatment of stuttering and cluttering and is the current course designer/instructor for the graduate Fluency Disorders course for the Baylor University online Master's Degree Program. Steff believes that her role in the field of speech pathology is a life passion and not a career. She lives with her husband Kevin, her two beautiful young children Mary and Karter and a pug named Ritchie. When she isn't playing with her kids or catching up on stuttering current events, she can be found baking, writing or reading. She can even be found playing piano or the drums if you are brave enough to listen.   NOTES 0:00-22:30- Introductions 22:30-38:00- Stuttering and shifting it in acceptance, giving them the keys; chats with Dr. Phil 38:00-47:25- Transcending Stuttering Cohort & meaning behind it 47:25-54:40- Empathy in life and therapy; nicknames around the SLP community 54:40- 1:08:38- Love and marriage with Kevin; end   RESOURCES & LINKS Baylor University HOST BIO Uri Schneider, M.A. CCC -SLP is co-founder and leader at Schneider Speech; creator of Transcending Stuttering Academy and faculty at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine.

Back in June, Harvard Business Review published the following fact. "From 1619 to 1965, this country had laws, policies, and practices — from slavery to Jim Crow to redlining — that legally separated white and Black people in an attempt to maintain a white supremacist society. The inhumanity required for people to function in such a society — to dehumanize others and be dehumanized — has left its mark on our nation and, by extension, our organizations in innumerable ways." - Ben Hecht A few of the most common ways we see it are in hiring, compensation, and advancement, and retention. We know these because of all of the "diversity & inclusion" programs set in place in companies across America. However, there are many silent systems that often go undetected that keep the status quo. Not only is our guest today actively working to help organizations address these structures, he actively works to address them in his own organization. Scott Hoesman is the Founder of Inquest Consulting, a consulting organization that helps individuals, teams, and organizations think, lead, and interact inclusively. Scott has been doing this work for 23 years. Before COVID Scott dedicated 40% of his time with Global leaders helping global leaders understand how Diversity and Inclusion thinking can transform their organizations. Go ahead and listen. It's delicious, I promise. Special Guest: Scott Hoesman.

I am not an expert in critical race theory or systemic racism. I am a middle age white guy trying to come to grips with systemic racism and contribute where I can. I am just an old literacy professor trying to do my part. I may not get it just right, but I am trying. In this podcast, I will try to explain some things in ways that help some people to better understand. I don't have complete enlightenment – and again - I may not get it just right -- but I'm trying. I refuse to abdicate my responsibility to do what I can on the issue of racial equity.John Lewis said, when you see something wrong, say something and do something.There is something wrong. No let me say something.
