Send us Fan MailWireless Festival gets cancelled and the easy headline is to blame Kanye West, but that story is too neat. I talk through what's actually happening behind the scenes: government pressure, visa power, sponsor risk, and the uncomfortable truth that “cancel culture” doesn't land equally. Kanye's antisemitic statements and harmful comments about slavery still matter, and I'm clear about impact, accountability, and why mental health can be context without becoming a free pass.From there, I widen the lens to the world of work, because the same inconsistency shows up in who gets protected, who gets forgiven, and who gets left behind. We touch on the United Nations recognising transatlantic slavery as the gravest crime against humanity, what that means for education, and why reparations keeps hovering in the background of every conversation about fairness in the UK.Then we get practical. AI adoption is becoming workplace literacy, and if women and especially Black women are slower to get access, encouragement, and confidence, the gender pay gap risks gaining a new layer. I also break down what layoffs at KPMG and Oracle signal about today's labour market, why offers can be rescinded, and why you should not resign without a signed contract and start date. We finish on culture and confidence: high-end Nigerian restaurant closures, Angel Reese choosing to be valued, and how I'm building Sister Scribble around intentional planning and owning your narrative.Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more of us can navigate work, power, and change with our eyes open.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talkshttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic StarStationary Company: Sistah ScribbleInstagram: @sistahscribbleWebsite: www.sistahscribble.com Email: hello@sistahscribble.com
Over the course of more than 350 years, an estimated 12 to 15 million people were forced on transatlantic slave ships from West Africa to the Americas. In a recent symbolic vote, the UN passed a landmark resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade “the gravest crime against humanity”. I spoke to Dr Brooke Newman about her recently published book, The Crown's Silence, a deeply researched account of the British monarchy's involvement and financial gain from the slave trade.

In the Thursday, March 26, 2026 edition of the New York Times, Lydia Polgreen observes that “America does not know how to exist in a world it does not control.” Through vacillations between seizing temporary control of state and federal government, White nationalist politicians in the US continue to fight desperately to impose their narrow ideology on the country's fragile amalgam of genocidal European settler colonies, built on stolen African labor and sustained by a narrative of self-creation that projects inevitability and dominance. The illusion they seek to impose afresh at its semi-quincentennial is that the US is something founded as anything other than that as part of Europe's global rise. As the country's population continues to move toward reflecting the world's overwhelming non-white majority, this illusion is unraveling as excesses of nativism, Eurocentrism, and racial capitalism produce global fracture, desperate attempts to prop up and seize control of the old system and demands for renegotiation by those who suffer under it. Against this backdrop, the 19th annual United Nations International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade became a site of growing demands for reckoning. Ghanaian President John Mahama introduced a resolution on behalf of Africans globally, declaring the trafficking of Africans the greatest crime against humanity and demanding repair. It was passed overwhelmingly by member states and rejected in both telling dissent and abstention from the old global power states. The vote exposed both hopes and fears in the current world's social structure and raises urgent questions about responsibility, memory, and repair.Are you a member of Knarrative?

A rapid-fire discussion that covers a United Nations resolution tied to the Transatlantic Slave Trade, debate over presidential symbolism on U.S. currency, rising pay momentum in the WNBA, and the excitement as the NCAA Final Four is set.
How deeply was the British Crown involved in the transatlantic slave trade? New research by historian Brooke Newman argues that, from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, until well into the 19th century, the Crown and its navy helped expand, finance and protect the trade in enslaved African people. In this episode, Newman joins historian and broadcaster Helen Carr to examine how the monarchy's links to slavery complicate Britain's national story about abolition and its colonial past. Drawing on her new book, The Crown's Silence, she explores the evidence, considers how the subject of reparations has become caught up in the culture wars, and reflects on what a formal apology from King Charles III could mean. Brooke Newman is an Associate Professor of history at Virginia Commonwealth University and a fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

From 1885 to 1908, King Leopold II of Belgium owned the Congo as his own personal colony. What transpired there over the course of his reign has credibly been called "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience." Forced labor, slavery, disease, destruction, and destabliziation led to millions of deaths in one of the lesser known mass trauma events in human history. This is the story of the Congo Free State in Central Africa. This episode is Part 1 in a series on the Belgian Congo. It takes a look at the origins of humanity in Africa, the Congo as a geographic and human region, the Congo River, the development of agriculture, slavery, and society in the Congo before European arrival, the Indian Ocean Slave Trade vs. the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, the arrival of the Portuguese in the Congo, the motivations for African Imperialism, the intensification of the slave trade as a result of European arrival, the resulting disruption and destabilization, and more. Future episodes will discuss Leopold's acquisition of the Congo as a colony, the resulting atrocities, resistance and reform movements, and the full story of the Congo Free State. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

Most of the time, when we think about the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, thoughts of stolen ancestors and the exchange of goods comes to mind. And of course, the primary basis of the Slave Trade was for the trafficking of human beings from Africa, which was the major economic driver for slavery and the free labor that came from it. Of course, the commerce connection is the strongest element, but the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade impacted several other facets across the globe, including religion. Listen in on a fascinating conversation on how the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade affected how and when the birth and blending of religious practices came to America.
As we now know, epidemics and pandemics are not new phenomena. In her new book The Yellow Demon of Fever: Fighting Disease in the 19th-Century Transatlantic Slave Trade (Yale University Press, 2020), Manuel Barcia offers a striking rendition of the diseases that swept through the illegal slave trade Atlantic World. In fact, Barcia argues that the history of disease and the story of continuing traffic in enslaved people despite the abolition of the slave trade are processes that must be understood together. Barcia demonstrates that in the 19th century Atlantic, quarantines were politicized, sworn enemies were forced to work together to combat disease, and the medical expertise of enslaved people often prevailed despite efforts to silence or ignore it.

America was a slave society and its involvement from the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade to the Domestic Slave Trade might be known, but the details are often overlooked. The Slave Traders or Brokers were the core and very foundation of the economic engine that kept slavery going. But, how was it done? Who were the Brokers? What type of people were they?

While most of us are familiar with the forced labor and dehumanization of enslaved people, there's a much more insidious aspect of the Transatlantic Slave Trade that speaks to the systematic buying and selling of biracial enslaved women—not for their labor, but for the brutal purpose of prostitution and concubinage.

Scholars are still uncovering information about Britain's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and its era of slavery, piecing together how the wealth generated from these atrocities shaped the nation's history. For some descendants, this means just now learning about their families' roles in and benefits from these horrors. In Britain, a few horrified heirs and private institutions are stepping forward to make amends, but there are few models for what meaningful reparations or restorative justice could look like. Where do we go from here, and what would truly make a difference? In this conversation from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival, the three panelists bring personal and academic experience to this weighty conversation. Harvard historian Vincent Brown, British TV presenter and historian David Olusoga and former BBC journalist and reparations advocate Laura Trevelyan discuss the meaning and practical application of reparations and restorative justice. New York Times editor Dean Baquet moderates the talk and takes questions from the audience. aspenideas.org
Shadows of Resilience: Untold Journey of Afrohebraic Persecution Part 1: A Brief History on the Parallels Between Inquisition and Injustices in America https://a.co/d/3nIXPn9 ### Connecting the Spanish Inquisition and the Transatlantic Slave Trade The author uses the story of Black Portuguese Israelites to connect the Spanish Inquisition to the Transatlantic slave trade by illustrating how the expulsion of Israelites from the Iberian Peninsula led to their deportation to Africa, which coincided with the beginning of the Transatlantic slave trade. * In 1492, the same year Columbus sailed to the New World, Spain issued the Alhambra Decree, expelling Israelites from the Iberian Peninsula. * Many Israelites fled to Portugal, but in 1497, King Manuel I of Portugal forced them to convert to Christianity or leave. * This double tragedy led to the Portuguese Israelite diaspora, including the Transatlantic slave trade that led to the captivity of Black people. * Some Israelites who refused conversion during the Inquisition were deported to the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe off the West African coast, where many perished and were enslaved. * Black Portuguese Israelites, descendants of converts, were also taken from Spain and Portugal to São Tomé to become slaves due to the papal decree. * These journeys connect the European invasion to New World colonization, intertwining religious persecution, colonization, and the transatlantic slave trade. The author emphasizes the significance of this timing, noting that the deportation of Black Portuguese Israelites to Africa occurred just before the start of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, suggesting that these events were closely linked. The forced labor of enslaved Africans then became a central part of European colonial economies. Disclaimer: Audio generations provided by NotebookLM AI. Summary of book by The Forefront Radio.

Church of England revs with a difference Daniel French, Jamie Franklin and Thomas Pelham sit down on the eve of the UK General Election to talk about the biggest issues in church and state. We round up the important last-minute stories and make our predictions for the big day.Also on the agenda, the Church of England's General Synod is back and so is the question of same-sex blessings. The widely supported Alliance group is threatening to create a parallel province. Several bishops have written an open letter pleading for a change of course.

Ibram X. Kendi is a National Book Award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author who has dedicated his life to educating all Americans, from grade school to adults, on the unvarnished history of the United States. His latest release, Barracoon: Adapted for Young Readers, is a middle-grade offering for the critically acclaimed Barracoon: The Story of the Last “Black Cargo,” written by the legendary writer, anthropologist and folklorist, Zora Neale Hurston. The book tells the story of Cudjo Lewis, one of the last-known survivors of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade who shared his story with Hurston in 1927. Kendi tells I SEE U that it's more important than ever for young people to understand slavery and its origins, particularly when book bans targeting writers of color are on the rise. Join us as I SEE U travels to the downtown Houston Public Library where host Eddie Robinson chats unguarded with one of the most sought-after historians in the country, Ibram X. Kendi. The author of the award-winning Stamped From the Beginning — now a Netflix documentary — chronicles the creation of racist ideas and myths which were used to codify discriminatory policies that have affected inequalities in everything from health to wealth in America.

During the eighteenth century, Britain's slave trade exploded in size. Formerly a small and geographically constricted business, the trade had, by the eve of the American Revolution, grown into an Atlantic-wide system through which fifty thousand men, women, and children were enslaved every year. In Traders in Men: Merchants and the Transformation of the Transatlantic Slave Trade (Yale UP, 2023), Nicholas Radburn explains how thousands of slaving merchants in Africa, Britain, and the British Americas collectively created this cancerous system by devising highly efficient, but also violent, new business methods. African brokers developed commercial techniques that facilitated the enslavement and sale of millions of people. Britons invented shipping methods that quelled enslaved people's constant resistance on the Middle Passage. And American slave traders formulated brutal techniques through which shiploads of people could be quickly sold to a variety of colonial buyers. Truly Atlantic-wide in its vision, this study shows how the slave trade became one of the most important phenomena in world history and dragged millions of people into the trade's terrible vortex.

Melvin M. Coleman: Black Economic Empowerment through Ownership and Control — Since the development of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, African Americans have primarily served as a source of labor in the American and global economy. This has limited the ability of African Americans to build wealth, which leads to power and influence. Listen to the conversation as Ramona talks to Melvin Coleman about the need for African Americans to move beyond being employees and consumers to being owners of businesses and industries. Melvin M. Colman is President of the Atlanta Black Chambers and the founder and chief portfolio strategist of Essential Wealth Management, a registered investment advisory firm based in the Atlanta area. A US Navy veteran, Melvin is originally from Savannah, Georgia, and now makes Atlanta his home.

Mami Wata is an aquatic goddess who reigns over the Atlantic Ocean. Because of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, she's celebrated not only throughout much of Africa, but within the diaspora of the Caribbean and the Americas. She is both seductive and nurturing. Protective, yet dangerous. Just like the ocean, she contains multitudes. For Further Reading: Mamy Wata and the monster by Véronique Tadjo Arts for Water Spirits In Africa and its Diaspora: Mami Wata Mami Wata, La Sirene, Mama Dlo This month, we're talking about Goddesses: mythical figures who have shaped culture, history, and imagination around the world. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, and Abbey Delk.

When journalist Moya Lothian-McLean was asked whether she'd be interested in exploring the truth about Britain's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and what that means to and for modern Britons, she didn't need asking twice. The resulting podcast, Human Resources, is a smart, nuanced, meticulously researched look at the realities and effects of the slave trade, the capitalist system it created, and how it's indelibly shaped us all. With Human Resources' third season underway, Mick got on the Zoom to Moya to talk about why it's so important to distinguish between the US and the UK, the connections of race and class, women slave owners (who were more numerous than you'd think), why the political is so personal to so many of us on this matter, and why ever-smaller “identity” boxes with no connection to each other are not useful for a solid society.NB: At one point, Moya talks about Ireland and says, "I know it's not part of Britain...", which is true today – and that's what Moya is referring to – but it was under British rule when what Moya refers to happened. Human Resources is from Broccoli Productions and available from all good podcasts apps.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.

"The myths, or the received wisdom, about Portuguese language in Brazil is that, of course we know we speak a very different version of the language, but this has always been explained to us as maybe perhaps a defect of sorts?" says linguist and translator Caetano Galindo, author of Latim em Pó, a history of Brazilian Portuguese. "You look deeper into things and you find you have to wrap your mind around a very different reality.” Content note: this episode discusses the enslavement of African people.

Last episode, I mentioned that in London, Ontario, in 2019 a 9-year-old named Lyla Wheeler had launched a petition to rename her street, currently called Plantation Road. This episode, Lyla, now aged nearly thirteen, and her mom Kristin Daley recount the reasons why Lyla campaigned for this name change, how the neighbours reacted, what happened when the wider world heard about it, and why the street's name is still Plantation Road. I hope you will not be deterred from campaigning for different, better words. Content note: the episode contains references to enslavement of Black people and a brief description of the Canadian residential school system.

Over the past few years, numerous products and places with the word 'plantation' in their names have rebranded. As for the word 'plantation' itself, architect and writer Kennedy Whiters of unRedactTheFacts.com advocates for replacing it with a more truthful term. She also watches out for use of the grammatical passive voice, because "It hides who did what to whom." Content note: this episode contains discussions of anti-Black racism, violence and sexual violence. This is an instalment of the Telling Other Stories series, about renaming.
