With the US Supreme Court confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson, “it makes sense to revisit the life and work of another Black woman who profoundly shaped the law: Constance Baker Motley” (CNN). Born to an aspirational blue-collar family during the Great Depression, Constance Baker Motley was expected to find herself a good career as a hairdresser. Instead, she became the first black woman to argue a case in front of the Supreme Court, the first of ten she would eventually argue. The only black woman member in the legal team at the NAACP's Inc. Fund at the time, she defended Martin Luther King in Birmingham, helped to argue in Brown vs. The Board of Education, and played a critical role in vanquishing Jim Crow laws throughout the South. She was the first black woman elected to the state Senate in New York, the first woman elected Manhattan Borough President, and the first black woman appointed to the federal judiciary. Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the Struggle for Equality (Knopf Doubleday, 2023) captures the story of a remarkable American life, a figure who remade law and inspired the imaginations of African Americans across the country. Burnished with an extraordinary wealth of research, award-winning, esteemed Civil Rights and legal historian and dean of the Harvard Radcliffe Institute, Tomiko Brown-Nagin brings Motley to life in these pages. Brown-Nagin compels us to ponder some of our most timeless and urgent questions–how do the historically marginalized access the corridors of power? What is the price of the ticket? How does access to power shape individuals committed to social justice? In Civil Rights Queen, she dramatically fills out the picture of some of the most profound judicial and societal change made in twentieth-century America. Learn more about your ad choices.

-How does childhood trauma affect our identity and contribute to the development of codependency? -What effect does trauma have on our relationships, especially the formation of our codependent ones? -With the knowledge of the long-term consequences of childhood trauma, is healing possible?!? Welcome to Episode 107! In this episode, we talk with Tomiko Mackey, LCSW, on the interconnection between codependency and trauma. Tomiko shares with us about how trauma, especially that which we experienced in childhood, can contribute to the development of codependent patterns in our relationships. You'll hear her describe the ways trauma impacts our identity formation and can make us more vulnerable to attaching to others in a manner that requires our passivity, self-sacrifice, and self-neglect. We explore whether it's trauma or codependency that comes first–and ways that codependency can make us more vulnerable to ongoing exposure to trauma. We conclude with answering the question: is healing possible after traumatic experiences? It's a must-listen! Thank you for supporting the show! More on this episode's guest: Tomiko Mackey is an LCSW in private practice, Mackey Counseling Services.

More deets on the episode: We begin with hearing from Tomiko on her definition of codependency as well as codependent experiences from her own life. Tomiko emphasizes how she observes codependent behaviors in ‘how we move in relationships.' As a trauma therapist, she believes that codependent patterns comes from the quality of our attachments, especially with our early caregivers.  In her own life, Tomiko acknowledges ways she was codependent in her young adulthood, especially in her romantic relationships. Thanks to her efforts in attending therapy, building a support system, and developing coping skills, she's been able to heal and strives to provide the same experience to her patients.  We turn our focus to trauma and ways childhood abuse, sexual assault, and other forms of trauma affect our identity and contribute to the development of codependency. Attachment, attachment, attachment is what Tomiko emphasizes.  Tomiko drops some wisdom with the quote: It's easier to build strong children than to repair broken adults. If we are broken adults, it seems that we may be more susceptible to experiencing trauma again and again due to the disempowerment that comes in our codependent relationships.  With all the talk about the consequences of trauma–and how codependents may re-experience trauma again and again, one has to wonder: is healing from trauma possible? Tomiko says YES! She discusses how, in addition to therapy, we can focus on moving our bodies, mindfulness, building community, incorporating laughter, and practicing self-grace to promote our healing.  Thanks for coming on Tomiko!

Constance Baker Motley was a groundbreaking civil rights lawyer and the first Black woman to become a federal judge. Her “world-changing accomplishments, which made her a ‘queen' in her time, should place her in the pantheon of great American leaders,” alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. and Thurgood Marshall. And yet,“far too few Americans today know Motley's name and deeds. Students do not routinely study her work and example—[she was] King's lawyer, Marshall's co-counsel, and a tactician praised by both as phenomenally talented. Despite her tremendous role in the effort to slay Jim Crow, most books and articles on the civil rights movement understate her importance.” Addressing this deficit, Tomiko Brown-Nagin has written a definitive biography, Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the Struggle for Equality. In this episode of Book Dreams, we speak with Dean Brown-Nagin about Motley's trailblazing accomplishments as both attorney and judge; the discrimination Motley faced as a result of her race and sex; the societal forces in play as she and her colleagues sought to transform civil rights law; the highs and lows of her formative and longlasting professional relationship with Thurgood Marshall; and her likely reaction to the inequities Black Americans confront still today. Dean Tomiko Brown-Nagin is Dean of Harvard's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the Daniel P.S. Paul Professor of Constitutional Law at Harvard Law School, and Professor of History at Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Science. In 2019, she was appointed Chair of the Presidential Committee on Harvard and the Legacy of Slavery. She is the author of Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the Struggle for Equality. Her previous book, Courage to Dissent, won the Bancroft prize in 2011. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Harvard has committed $100 million dollars to redress harms to descendant communities in the United States and in the Caribbean.

In all of the conversations we've had this season, a couple of threads keep resurfacing:  how much we appreciate the ability to travel, and how to really maximize a trip. Well, we thought it was high time to devote an episode specifically to this! Out Travel the System host Nisreene Atassi dives into the idea of splurging while traveling, and how that can mean different things to different people. She is joined by expert travel planner Sarah Groen, host of the Luxury Travel Insider podcast, as well as Tomiko Harvey, Vice President of the Black Travel Alliance, and writer at Passports and Grub. They'll take you through how a splurge - whether it's adding on a private tour, upgrading your seat on a flight, or making sure your home away from home has everything you need - can make or break the way you remember your travels. Sarah shares how to plan out the 'arc' of a trip (hint, save the best hotels for last), and Tomiko talks about some of her favorite splurges. So go ahead, book that second massage at your vacation hotel, line up that private tour, and borrow a page out of Sarah's book by really upgrading your rental vehicle - take this episode as the encouragement you need to say yes to your next travel splurge!

In this episode of Priority Status, Heidi Doak sits down with Tomiko Harvey, vice president of the Black Travel Alliance and founder of Passports & Grub, a luxury lifestyle publication for Black women. Following last summer's racial justice movement, The Black Travel Alliance was formed to empower and give voice to Black travel writers, broadcasters and content creators from around the world. And, earlier this year, the Black Travel Alliance hosted its first networking event, Wavelength, which connected Black travel professionals with travel brands to bridge the gap that previously prevented them from receiving the same opportunities as their colleagues. J/PR was honored to participate in Wavelength and from that, has been working with content creators such as Tomiko to ensure diversity and inclusion in the travel industry. We hope this conversation will encourage our listeners to join the movement.

In the first half of the 20th century, the automobile became a symbol of freedom to American families. Middle-class families able to afford their own car were no longer restricted to train or bus timetables, and the great American road trip was born. But for black Americans, this new freedom collided with old hatred, prejudices and dangers. The road trip's appeal called to everyone equally, but not everyone was treated equally. African Americans began using “the Green Book,” a guide to places that were friendly to them along their journey. In September, I met Tamiko Harvey, the travel blogger behind Passports and Grub, who actually took her daughter on a family road trip using the Green Book. How Tomiko became interested in the Green Book Tomiko and I met while touring the Civil Rights Trail in Birmingham, Alabama, where they actually have a Green Book on display there in the Civil Rights Museum. That really sparked her interest in learning more about the book, and she was able to purchase a copy on Amazon. As she says, we're supposed to be living in a post-racial society, but of course that's not true. So she wanted to see what it would be like traveling the Green Book today. Why the Green Book was necessary As Tomiko says, black people in the early 20th century had to plan out every detail of a road trip. They had to dress a certain way, they had to be sure of what time of day they would be traveling in certain areas, and they had to know their route precisely because a wrong turn could literally be deadly. It was a really planned and methodical process that we don't even think about now. Black motorists had to think about where they were going to eat, where they were going to get gas, where they could use a restroom. A lot of these travelers were Civil Rights activists or business travelers. Leisure travel was not as prominent as we think of it today. “Vacation and recreation without humiliation.” The book was originally published in 1936 in New York, and as Tomiko says it became a sort of Yellow Pages for black travelers. It outlined friendly restaurants, gas stations, hotels, drug stores and barber shops that were safe during Jim Crow. It came about because Victor Green, the author, was having difficulty traveling. The book was circulated in black establishments, even in hotels and restaurants. And it was marketed with the tagline: “Vacation and recreation without humiliation.” About 15,000 copies a year were sold to black travelers. Brittany told me a great story about brothers divided over the revolution that you have to hear. Tomiko travels the book Tomiko and her family live outside of Nashville, Tennessee, and when her daughter had to go to Orlando, Florida for a cheering competition, she decided to take the book and see what it was like to travel through those Southern states for black people in the 1930s. As she says, they often had to go an hour or two out of their way just to ensure they were going somewhere safe. A lot of the places on the routes were actually people's homes, old gas stations or even empty lots now. She said it added something like three hours to their trip to go out of the way. Her story, and the story of the book, is so fascinating. I highly recommend checking out this episode.
