Podcasts about when black

According to the most recent data from the American Association of Law Schools (AALS), only about 2.1% of all law professors in the United States are Black women. To put that into perspective, Black women make up roughly 7% of the U.S. population, but their representation in the legal academy is staggeringly low. This lack of diversity has real consequences. When Black women are underrepresented in law schools, it means fewer role models for students of color, fewer voices challenging the status quo, and a narrower range of perspectives in legal scholarship. It also perpetuates a cycle where students of color may feel excluded from pursuing careers in academia, further limiting diversity in the field. But despite these challenges, there are Black women who are breaking barriers and making their mark in the legal academy. One of those women is Professor Phyllis Taite.https://law.ou.edu/faculty-and...

The set up to Mass Shooter is “I will destroy the world and then kill myself.”  In simple terms, the War game version of Now I've Got You, You SOB! is the climax of Mass Shooter. Both games involve the Othering of a certain person, group, or ethnicity, which creates an obstruction between oneself and the Other. The same can be said for competing nation-states. This Othering justifies violent retaliation. Mass Shooter involves White (“it”) surveilling Black (weakness for the game) in order to find injustices to enact revenge. The relatively minor infraction is weaponized by White to unleash their fury. Black then retaliates against the fury. When Black's inevitable retaliation occurs, it authorizes a claim of “self-defense” even though White was in an offensive position. White was looking for provocations to license a game of Now I've Got You, You Son of a Bitch! (NIGYSOB!) For example, the U.S. militarily occupies the Middle East, which provokes the 9/11 attacks. Two decades later, under the guise of the illusory “war on terror,” (see Hide & Seek) the U.S. enacts revenge on one of the “masterminds” who allegedly planned the attack. Israel occupies the Palestinians to provoke attacks by Hamas in order to seek revenge and domination: NIGYSOB! The Mass Shooter combines NIGYSOB! with the supremacist version of Kick Me. Mass Shooter is driven by White's need to be perceived by Others (Black), i.e., social recognition. White's perception is that Black will regret how they treated White, e.g., for the bullying, criticism, lack of sexual interest. White makes themselves agitated (bound up sexual energy), which leads to violence. The exhibitionism of the murders, which is often livestreamed, is the destructive version of the Influencer game. Consider Columbine. One of the masterminds was Eric Harris who imagined the massacre would one day be made into a Hollywood movie: “For Eric, Columbine was a performance. Homicidal art. He actually referred to his audience in his journal: “the majority of the audience wont even understand my motives,” he complained. He scripted Columbine as made-for-TV murder, and his chief concern was that we would be too stupid to see the point. Fear was Eric's ultimate weapon. He wanted to maximize the terror. He didn't want kids to fear isolated events like a sporting event or a dance; he wanted them to fear their daily lives. It worked. Parents across the country were afraid to send their kids to school.” (p. 277) His existential life position was I'm OK, You're not-OK (arrogant and paranoid). Therefore, Harris felt a sense of superiority over Others and plotted revenge. In the book, “Columbine”, it is noted that “Eric equated “unique” with “superior.” For example, Harris obtains injustices and gets revenge: he would attack his peers' houses “to retaliate for perceived slights, but most often for the offense of inferiority.” (NIGYSOB!). The armaments give White situational power to inflict the most damage: I'll Show Them. White is more interested in the effects the shooting has on their enemies or friends (carnage) than they do in the rewards itself. Contrary to popular understanding, the Columbine massacre was not a nod to 4/20 or Hitler's birthday, but a replication of Timothy McVeigh's work four years (to the day) prior. McVeigh's devastating Oklahoma City bombing of 168 innocent people was revenge, i.e., NIGYSOB!, for the federal government's actions against the Branch Davidian compound in the 1993 Waco siege. According to Michael Parenti in his book The Terrorism Trap, McVeigh was associated with the “Christian Identity” group. So, in addition to attacking the federal government, he was also fascistically attacking “the Jews, liberals, and other secularists who have dislodged white Christian America from its spiritual moorings.” McVeigh is therefore one of the Original Mass-shooter Gangsters (see OMG, e.g., Unabomber). The initial commencement date for the Columbine attack was Apri...

[SEGMENT 1-1] Out with the old 1   Typewriter Slide projector Burn barrel Landlines Traditional alarm  [SEGMENT 1-2] Out with the old 2   When Black people lost our traditions, we started on the downhill slide as a people.   Paper takeout menus Phone books Telephone answering machines Rolodex Manuel carpet sweeper Here's the one you may not have realize… JOE BIDEN Joe Biden has been on an almost permanent vacation since he was deposed by the Democrats. And now Democrats have a single focus: cheat Harris into office. AG Garland warned people about protesting against the next cheat.   What are the things Leftists no longer use? Their brains Common sense Critical thinking Deductive reasoning Can you imagine living in their minds, trying to make sense of their lives. Have you heard them describe their genders?  [SEGMENT 1-3] Out with the old 3   Democrats want us to GET RID OF OUR OLD. We've been warned. Kamala Harris is FORMIDDABLE. UNBEATABLE. Ask yourself these questions: Why did the FBI or some 3-letter organization try to KILL TRUMP? And why are they still trying to get him in court? Check out this delusion:   [X] SB – Scott Jennings…   Harris campaign trolling Trump. Needling him. Playing offense. Trump zero for one. Traded in for a better candidate. Do y Democrats don't know when to stop digging their graves. A few years back, they had Trump on the ropes and they blew it. And they keep on doing it. The recent coup of Joe Biden caused a slight bump in their ambitions, as Democrats appointed Kamala Harris as their Great Indian-Wait-No-She's-Black Hope. But whatever bump they may have gotten, it's gone. And now Trump continues his surge.  Any bump in Trump's numbers causes sheer panic for Democrats, which is why we get this news: Tuesday afternoon Democrat hack Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment in the 2020 Election case in D.C. District Court.  Special counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday filed a superseding indictment in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump, slimming down the allegations against the 2024 presidential nominee in light of the Supreme Court's immunity ruling. Prosecutors have not dropped any of the four charges that they initially brought against the former president. However, the newly retooled indictment has carved out some of Trump's alleged conduct, including allegations about the attempts to use the Justice Department to promote his false claims of election fraud. The case will go nowhere. But that would never stop a Leftist from trying to do his or her part to keep Trump out of office. In this case, the disgraced prosecutor implies that he knows more than the SCOTUS judges who dismissed his previous case. Truthfully, Smith has a horrible record as a prosecutor, likely because he doesn't appear to concern himself with facts.  The retooled indictment supposedly addresses raised by the Supreme Court's rulings in Fischer v. USA (re: the interpretation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)) and Trump v. USA (on presidential immunity). I didn't bother to look at the details of this case because I know that Jack Smith is targeting Trump. Trump Sends a Thank You Note to Jack Smith If he hasn't done it already, Trump should send a "Thank you!" note to Jack Smith. Because every time Smith or some other Leftist thug comes after Trump, Trump's popularity and fundraising soars. But getting Trump is that important for Leftists, because they can't run the risk that doctoring the voting machine and relying on mail-in vote will be enough. [SEGMENT 1-4] Out with the old 4   [X] SB – Trump's SOTU to Dr Phil   Safe country, wealthy, schools $85B in Afghanistan Did you see Harris recreate Trump coming down the escalator, only she led and her eunuch of a husband followed. Truly a “Bizarro World” picture as she tried to mock MAGA. Do you feel the undercurrent of the Trump voters? We are told that Trump is SCARED. Since WHEN have you seen Trump scared. [X] SB – Trump on Milley       The debate has been solidified. And I can hardly wait.

Welcome to Episode 179 of the Repent or Die Podcast, hosted by Junns the NBIC. In today's thought-provoking episode, we tackle a critical question: Why do Black Americans have no power in America? Join us as we delve into the historical and socio-economic factors that have contributed to this situation, exploring the systemic barriers and challenges faced by the Black community. But more importantly, we discuss a powerful answer: The loss of a collective pursuit of knowledge. Throughout history, knowledge has been a vital source of power and progress. When Black people actively sought and valued education and knowledge, significant strides were made towards empowerment and equality. However, in recent times, this pursuit seems to have diminished. In this episode, we explore how reclaiming the quest for knowledge can be the key to regaining power and influence in America. We'll examine the importance of education, self-awareness, and community efforts in overcoming systemic oppression and building a stronger, more empowered Black community. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that promises to inspire and challenge. Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review our podcast.

16th Annual Community Empowerment ThroughBlack Men Healing ConferenceJoin us on Thursday, June 20, and Friday, June 21, 2024, at Metropolitan State UniversitySt. Paul Campus, Founders Hall, for a day and a half of inspiration, healing, andempowerment. The theme year's event is “The Black Family”. This event is dedicated toaddressing the challenges confronting families and explores practical, culturally sensitive,trauma-informed approaches that celebrate community uplift.At this conference, you can expect engaging workshops, powerful speakers, and networkingopportunities to connect with national and local educators and community practitioners andlearn from each other.The conference is open to men and women of all cultures working with the Black community orinterested in the topic. Additional information and conference updates are available atwww.brothershealing.com. Thank YouThe History of the conference:When discussing the ills and disparities within the Black community, such issues as violence,drugs, poverty, and emotional, physical, and spiritual health are often discussed. Whensystematic concerns aren't being questioned as barriers, the personal accountability of men isbrought to the forefront. Typically, Black men's trauma is not discussed or addressed.When Black men suffer (directly or indirectly), they pass their trauma on to the women andchildren in their lives; thus, the cycle of pain continues, and the community suffers tenfold.In response to this awareness, in 2009, the conference called “Groundbreaking andVisionary” began with a mission to offer alternative ways of thinking about community building"from the inside out," not just "the outside in" by addressing the history of trauma, which can bebarriers to healing. Also, it provided an opportunity to bring national and local educators andcommunity practitioners together for meaningful community engagement to discuss andintroduce practical, culturally sensitive trauma-informed initiatives leading to the improvedhealth and wellness of Black men and their families, resulting in a celebration and uplift of thecommunity.“This was a phenomenal conference! Well-organized, awesome speakers (that told thetruth). This was one of the best conferences that I have ever attended. We need moretrainings like this.” Speaking for many conference attendees.More information on the Conference can be found at www.brothershealing.com.

Show notes for Episode 49 Here are the show notes for Episode 49, in which Jacky and Dan talk to lawyer, community activist and author, Ife Thompson, about: Black British English  Linguistic justice in schools, courts and the rest of the world Anti-Blackness in discourses about language in the media Drill lyrics and the criminalisation of Black cultural expression Why we should give Black people their flowers for lexical innovation and their huge influence on British English  Why MLE is the wrong term to be using… BLAM (UK): https://blamuk.org/  https://www.runnymedetrust.org/blog/is-it-that-deep-the-impact-of-policing-black-british-language-speakers-in-british-schools “When Black students' language is suppressed or outrightly banned in classrooms they begin to absorb messages that imply Black language is incorrect and unintelligent, this can cause them to internalise anti-Blackness. Students who internalise negative ideas about their language and culture may develop a sense of inferiority and lose confidence in their own abilities, and school in general. “The linguistic stigma of BBE also encourages the inappropriate and racially discriminatory discipline of Black children. In 2021, this was evidenced when a South London school with a large proportion of Black students introduced a language ban that included BBE vocabulary and semantics. Children could be reprimanded and punished for speaking in a way most natural and culturally significant to them, fuelling the practice and policies of UK schools criminalising Blackness.” BLAM on MLE: https://blamuk.org/2022/06/22/blam-uk-condemns-the-recent-anti-black-language-racism-from-uk-white-owned-media-outlets/  “The misidentification of Black British English as MLE minimises the cultural value and influence of Black heritage in modern-day Britain.” Ife in conversation with Johanna Gerwin: ttps://londontalksresearch.co.uk/2023/01/20/black-british-english-as-a-label-for-multicultural-london-english/  Our interview with Johanna about London English: https://open.spotify.com/episode/42lkwg3h0k9PjWtJFkJDbU?si=tHWJWE6XTLK1K3bOMLTzCQ  Art Not Evidence campaign: https://artnotevidence.org/  Garden Court Chambers on the Art Not Evidence campaign: https://www.gardencourtchambers.co.uk/news/art-not-evidence-launches-campaign-to-stop-rap-lyrics-being-used-as-evidence  “One day we will ask ourselves how on earth the state was ever allowed to get away with using rap music as evidence to prosecute Black defendants in serious crime cases.

When Black women convene, writes licensed clinical psychologist Joy Harden Bradford, there is a “cadence and rhythm to our gatherings… a natural sisterhood that breeds openness.” That observation underlies Bradford's approach to group therapy, which she says sparks breakthroughs and healing that often don't happen as quickly in individual sessions. We talk to Bradford about what makes for a successful therapeutic community, and why elements like humor, intuitiveness and rhythm generate healing of Black women's spaces. Bradford's new book is “Sisterhood Heals: The Transformative Power of Healing in Community.” Guests: Joy Harden Bradford, licensed psychologist; host and founder Therapy for Black Girls; author, "Sisterhood Heals: The Transformative Power of Healing in Community"

Elizabeth Lieba is on a mission to help Black women feel supported and heard. Here, the writer, college professor, and advocate for Black businesswomen joins Women on the Move host Sam Saperstein to discuss her journey to understand the important historical context of race in America. “Why are black women feeling this way?” Elizabeth believes that the most important job for leaders is to develop their people, and she says really listening to Black women's needs is a critical part of that. She's had a career as an educator and an advocate, and has recently released a book called I'm Not Yelling: A Black Woman's Guide to Navigating the Workplace, which provides strategies for savvy Black businesswomen navigating a predominantly white corporate America. She says one of her goals in writing the book was to empower Black women and to give them a sense of context about why they were feeling what they were feeling, and to validate those feelings. “We've seen lately in the news that Black women are exiting corporate spaces in record numbers,” she tells Sam. “Black women are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, tired. There's a sense of a mental health crisis that has been happening. And I think it wasn't really brought to the surface until Covid 19, and a lot of Black women were obviously in the workplace and then working from home and having to juggle and balance all of those responsibilities. And I think there was a collective sense of What is happening? Why do I feel this way?” Elizabeth says she'd already been vocal on LinkedIn about social justice and racial inequity, thinking and speaking about police brutality and racial profiling, so she felt it was the time to pivot into her identity as a Black woman and focus on issues like why all the Black women she knew had such a visceral reaction to seeing George Floyd murdered. Additionally, she said she heard over and over form Black women in every space that they did not feel like they belonged in the spaces that they were in. “And that's literally why I started to write the book,” she says. “I wanted to advocate for Black women, and I knew that social justice and racial equity was important, but I felt like as a Black woman, I also had a responsibility to find out why I was feeling this way.” Challenging the constructs Another goal Elizabeth shares about writing her book was to emphasize to Black women that their authentic selves are already enough. “Because obviously if there's a problem, and Black women are exiting the workplace in record numbers, Black women are not waiting for these places to become more equitable,” she notes. “They're saying, you know what, I don't have time or space to wait for you to figure this out.” She shares that across demographics, Black women have seen the biggest increase in leaving traditional employment and starting their own businesses—only to run into the challenge that very little venture capital funding is going to women or Black people. “They didn't really have the resources to start businesses, and they were even more stressed out because they're exiting these [traditional employment] spaces,” she says. “But then finding the same struggles with just trying to create a living outside of those spaces.” In her book she provides the historical context for why Black women often feel like imposters in the workplace—or, even more commonly, feel that they are constantly code switching between their work and personal lives. “When you're going into a space and now you're second guessing yourself because somebody said you don't belong there, of course you're gonna have lack of confidence,” she says. “But you didn't just hop off the bus and walk in. Someone had to invite you there. We have education, we have experience, someone has hired us, why are we being pathologized and why is someone saying, oh you have imposter syndrome.” In the end, Elizabeth says, she won't be happy until representation is equal for everyone. “When I fight for women's rights, when I fight for my rights as a Black woman, because we have intersectionality, everybody wins. We need to empower everyone. When Black women are empowered, everyone is empowered because our empathetic nature really creates that. And I want people to understand if you're sitting there, standing there, or in a space and you're not advocating for others, then that's a lack of empathy. That's apathy.” Full transcript here    The speakers' opinions belong to them and may differ from opinions of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co and its affiliates.

Across Minnesota and the nation, new and more diverse independent bookstores have been popping up. In fact, for every independent bookstore that has closed since 2020, more than three new ones have opened, according to the American Booksellers Association. It's part of a continuing trend jumpstarted by the pandemic, and each of these bookstores has a story of its own.  When Josh Hames saw the storefront up for lease in West St. Paul, he knew it was perfect for a bookstore. It was late at night, and the lights on the side of the building illuminated the old brick building. He could see the tall ceilings through the windows.   “It looked like the cover to ‘Needful Things' by Stephen King a little bit,” he said.   Hames, 30, opened Other Skies Weird Fiction in 2022, just in time for his favorite holiday: Halloween. The store sells high-quality editions of horror, sci-fi and imaginative fiction. Hames has been collecting these genres since he was 14, but the pandemic shutdown really clarified that passion. “We all had time to reflect on, what are the things that we really, really like to do when we go out? And for me I found that, even before the pandemic, I would always spend all my time looking for books, at Goodwill, thrift shops, estate sales. I was always out there buying books, and I thought, man, that's really important, I want to be a part of that,” he said. It turns out, others do, too, and Hames said he's been blown away by the community of readers who share his interest. A couple hundred miles to the northwest, in Detroit Lakes, Minn., Amy Erickson was feeling the lack of a bookstore in her town. The closest one was about a half-hour away, ever since the local Book World closed. “And when they closed, I said, ‘I don't know that I can live in a town without a bookstore.' It just felt wrong somehow,” Erickson said. Erickson was a 49-year-old stay-at-home mother of three. When the pandemic hit and her husband suddenly stopped traveling for work, they had some big family discussions. “And I said, you know, if I don't do this by the time I'm 50, I'm probably never going to do it,” she said. “I don't want to live knowing that I there was something that I wanted to do and I could do and I just didn't do it.” In May 2022, she took a leap of faith and launched Bluebird Books. It's a family affair: Her three teenage kids are now all old enough to work in the store, along with some of their friends.   “I love being surrounded by books all the time,” she said. “My favorite thing in the world is when someone walks back into the bookstore and says, ‘You recommended that book to me, and I absolutely loved it. What else? What other recommendations do you have?' That makes my heart happy.”  Bluebird Books and Other Skies Weird Fiction are two of the 15 new independent bookstores that have opened in Minnesota since March 2020. That's a big rise, and it's in line with a regional and national trend. Carrie Obry is the executive director of the Midwest Independent Booksellers Association. She credits the rise in part to Bookshop.org, the website that lets people buy books online and shares the profit with indie bookstores. She says having that online platform has democratized the bookselling industry.  “There's just a whole new influx of wonderful much-needed energy and diversity coming through our ranks of bookstore owners,” Obry said. There are challenges, of course, for any bookstore: competition for customers' time and attention, accelerating rent rates in an industry prone to low wages and supply chain issues.  Former educator Mary Taris never expected to open a bookstore. When she got fed up with not seeing enough great children's books by authors of color, she started Strive Publishing in 2018. She quickly found the need was far greater than a one-woman publisher could address. After the murder of George Floyd, Taris said Strive publishing was flooded with people wanting to write their own stories. “The civil unrest was a huge contributing factor in me kind of doubling down on my mission to elevate Black voices,” Taris said. She looked for partnerships, and she found space in the IDS building in downtown Minneapolis, tucked among other retailers in the Black-woman owned Sistah Co-op. The tiny Strive Bookstore struggled for foot traffic following its opening in the fall of 2021, but still, Taris saw an impact. “When Black people come in, they're like, ‘Wow, this is for us,'” she said. “And I even get more people who are inspired to write, you know, when they come into the bookstore, and just, it kind of feels like, the more I can do in the book space, the more our mission can come alive.” Working with the Minneapolis Downtown Council, she's about to open a second location in the historic Young Quinlan Building on Nicollet Avenue in downtown Minneapolis. The ribbon-cutting ceremony is Saturday, June 2. The 4,000-square-foot space has gotten some pre-opening customer praise: “‘Oh, wow, this is so beautiful!' That's what I hear,” she said. Taris can't wait to use the space to celebrate authors and cross-cultural communication. Because whatever the path they take to get there, for booksellers, there's no better feeling than getting the right book into a reader's hands.

In the decades following the Civil War, African Americans reliably voted for the Republican Party, which had led the efforts to outlaw slavery and enfranchise Black voters; and white southerners reliably voted for the Democratic Party. When Black voters started to vote for Democratic candidates in larger numbers, starting with the 1936 re-election of FDR, whose New Deal policies had helped poor African Americans, Republicans began to turn their sights toward white Southern voters. By the 1964 Presidential election, Republican Barry Goldwater was actively courting those voters, winning five states in the deep South, despite his otherwise poor showing nationwide. Republican Richard Nixon successfully refined the strategy in his 1968 defeat of Democrat Hubert Humphrey. In the following decades, the Republican Party continued to employ the Southern Strategy, eventually leading to a complete realignment of the parties. Joining me for a deep dive on the Southern Strategy is Dr. Kevin M. Kruse, Professor of History at Princeton University, author of several books on the political and social history of twentieth-century America, and co-editor with fellow Princeton History Dr. Julian E. Zelizer of Myth America: Historians Take on the Biggest Legends and Lies about Our Past.  Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.

“Many women don't get diagnosed until their kids get diagnosed because people miss it,” shares ADHD coach, IngerShaye Colzie, MSW, LSW. IngerShaye went 50 years wondering why certain things were so difficult while others were easy. In spite of noticeable struggles in her childhood continuing into her work and college life, her ADHD went unnoticed until her own child was diagnosed. Today, IngerShaye joins host D-Rich to talk about ADHD and how it presents in Black women and girls.    ADHD is a brain based condition affecting the way someone's brain is wired that tends to show up differently in girls than it does in boys. Many people are familiar with the textbook idea of a distracting, impulsive little boy with ADHD, but are less adept at recognizing girls with ADHD. For girls, it often shows up as the inattentive or combined version versus strictly hyperactive. And when it is hyperactive in girls, that hyperactivity is directed inward. IngerShaye shares that some of the challenges of ADHD are time blindness causing her to be late constantly, trouble prioritizing, impulsivity, disorganization, and getting overwhelmed easily. She also explains that ADHD comes with strengths like empathy, a strong sense of fairness, resilience, hyperfocus, passion, and creativity.    It is important to build awareness and seek support for  Black women and girls with ADHD because it is not okay that so many are slipping through and not being diagnosed until much later in life. When Black women have ADHD, they face additional challenges. There is a lot of misinformation circulating about ADHD and when we come together to talk about our experiences, more of those myths can be dispelled and replaced with the truth.   Quotes • “Once we went from learning to read to reading to learn, it just got harder and the ADHD started to kick in.” (2:42-2:49 | IngerShaye) • “Many women don't get diagnosed until their kids get diagnosed because people miss it.” (10:44-10:51 | IngerShaye) • “The thing about ADHD, the H part, the hyper part, it's not outward. For women especially, it turns inward.” (11:49-11:56 | IngerShaye) • “When I got diagnosed with ADHD, my whole life flashed in front of me because all the things that were confusing began to make sense.” (12:33-12:40 | IngerShaye)  • “Kids with ADHD get, I think they say, 20,000 more negative messages by age 12 than other children.” (24:44-24:51 | IngerShaye) • “I think what encourages me more than anything else is that, seeing this is a room full of people of color that we are furthering this conversation about something that's so important in our community that we haven't been saying out loud, and it's so encouraging to see so many people in the chat and in the breakout room who are realizing that they need to learn more about this, because it may be something that's really relevant in their lives."

“The church is not just what we do on Wednesday and Sunday, but how do we really live our faith and become the change agents in the world?”, shares LaKesha Womack, church growth consultant and founder of the Rethinking Church Project. Today, LaKesha joins host D-Rich to talk about the future of the Black church in the Black community. Later, they are joined by several ministers and pastors who contribute their own observations from their communities.   The Black church was an extraordinarily important fixture in the Black community during the Civil Rights Era. Recently Gallup released poll results that revealed that church membership in the US has fallen below 50% for the first time. While 66% of American adults born before 1946 belong to a church, only 36% of millennials do as well. It is often said that Sunday at 11AM is the most segregated hour in America. The Black church was initially started because of slavery and the widely held belief that going to church created better slaves. For a long time, Black people were not able to hold any leadership positions within the church and had to be overseen by white ministers. Church is still largely segregated due to the way Black people were treated historically.    It's important to recognize that no church is perfect. Unfortunately, some churches create toxic environments that are not about connecting with God, but instead focus on prosperity preaching and pastoral salvation. This can be especially problematic for Black churches, given their history and the potential for discomfort within a polarized society.   When Black churches fail to consider this history and its implications, it can lead to people feeling disconnected and ultimately stopping attendance altogether. This trend is particularly evident among Millennials and Gen Z, who display declines in religiosity.   To encourage young Black people to attend church, it's critical to be intentional about the environment you're creating. This means creating a space where they can actually have a spiritual encounter, rather than feeling like they're just being sold a message of prosperity or salvation. By being mindful of these issues, Black churches can help to build a stronger connection with their community and create a more welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all. Quotes • “The church is not just what we do on Wednesday and Sunday, but how we really live our faith? And live it in a way that does not make you feel like, ‘Oh, I've got to forsake the world,' but how do we impact the world and how do we become the change agents in the world?” (7:13-7:29 | LaKesha) • “The reality is a lot of people are still going to church. They're just not going to your church.” (10:48-10:53 | LaKesha) • “A lot of people really need to take some time to examine the history and not just assume that we don't worship together because of color, but it was actually because of culture and the way that we were treated.” (17:10-17:21 | LaKesha) • “Black women are the backbone of the Black church, even though most churches are led by Black men.” (20:28-20:36 | LaKesha)    Connect with LaKesha Womack: Website: https://womackcg.com/about-wcg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lakeshawomack/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MsLaKeshaWomack/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/womackcg/ About with Southern Soul Live Stream - Live Episode Podcast  Witty, thought-provoking, and uplifting, Southern Soul Livestream - Podshow is the program that you'll invite friends over to watch every week, where you'll learn about fascinating speakers and get to share in exciting experiences.

  In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we're re-airing one of our favorite episodes from last year. We hope you enjoy revisiting this crucial and enlightening conversation with some of Chicago's best.  At Certiport, we are determined to help students of color rise to new levels of success and education, while listening and learning from others on the best ways to become true anti-racist advocates. Shifting our classroom and education mindset is crucial to correct racial and economic inequities.  For this week's episode, we had the privilege of sitting down with two amazing professionals from the Chicago Public School system: Dr. Nadine LeBlanc and Robert “Rob” Lee.  Dr. Nadine L. Leblanc's professional career spans more than 25 years as an educator, building a track record of outstanding performance in teaching as well as in administration. Her most recent efforts are on a project she has labeled “Racism, Response and Responsibility” as an act of resistance to the systemic issues that still threaten Blacks within the U.S. The project includes an equity initiative called “When Black and Brown Men Teach” which engages male educators of color in the Business and IT department in Chicago Public Schools, while they mentor and coach male students of color. She lives and breathes her philosophy that is etched in the belief that all children can and will learn, given the opportunity and resources. Rob Lee has been teaching at Michele Clark Magnet High School for the past three years and has been an instrumental part of the When Black and Brown Men Teach program. Born and raised on the westside of Chicago, Rob has always had a knack for technology and that knack drove him to make a career switch from the transportation industry to technology. He received his bachelor's in information technology from the University of Phoenix and his Master's in Information Security from Phoenix University. He started his career at CPS in 2014 and has been dedicated to his students every day since.  In this special episode, we talk about the “When Black and Brown Men Teach” initiative, what Rob and Dr. LeBlanc have done to help their Black students thrive, and how creating brave and authentic classrooms can show Black students that there isn't one way to be a successful Black professional.  You can learn more about empowering students of color on our blog: https://certiport.pearsonvue.com/Blog/2020/August/Empowering-Students-of-Color.  Read through additional information about the “When Black and Brown Men Teach” initiative here: https://blog.cps.edu/2021/11/17/black-and-brown-men-teach/.  Dr. LeBlanc has also graciously offered her Journey to Justice presentation, for teachers who want to spark conversations and trainings at their schools: https://certiport.filecamp.com/s/JourneytoJustice_DrLeBlanc/d

Do you walk to your car looking for your keys WHILE on your phone? Are you texting at red lights? Are you on your phone when unlocking your door?  When Black women go missing there is a minimal effort in the search process. When Black women are murdered there is minimal effort to obtain justice. But, there are things that can be implemented in your daily routine to increase your safety. Sgt. Terris Thomas of the Jackson, MS Police Department stopped by for an important conversation about Black women & safety. He also shared information regarding texting and driving, the impact of speed in an accident, and the importance of reporting a missing person. FYI: You do not have to wait 24 hours to file a missing person's report. Tune in and catch the full conversation.Support the show

When Black men enlisted in the army after the Civil War, it wasn't just to fight for their country. They fought for something personal and for something bigger than themselves. Professor Le'Trice D. Donaldson, author of Duty beyond the Battlefield: African American Soldiers Fight for Racial Uplift, Citizenship, and Manhood, 1870–1920, helps me tell that story.

It's the 13th week of the 2022-23 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball roster summer preview series. We have gone through the freshmen (Seth Trimble, Jalen Washington, Tyler Nickel, Will Shaver), the transfer (Pete Nance), the sophomores (D'Marco Dunn, Dontrez Styles), the juniors (Puff Johnson, RJ Davis, Caleb Love), the seniors (Justin McKoy, Armando Bacot). And finally we arrive at the final scholarship player for UNC – super senior Leaky Black, a 6'9", 205-pound forward from Concord, North Carolina.Black enters his senior year, round two, primed to be one of the top defenders in the entire country. He doesn't get the thunderous blocks or overwhelming steal numbers that other nationally recognized defenders often use as a calling card. His defensive worth is in his ability to simply shut down another team's best scorer at a guard or forward position.What many people miss is that Black also brings other strong basketball skills to the table. For example, he led the team in free throw percentage last season (min. 10 attempts). Black receives so much defensive recognition that his offensive capabilities are wholly undervalued.Looking ahead, Black will once again be a starter alongside the remaining other three of the Iron Five – Caleb Love, RJ Davis, and Armando Bacot. Pete Nance projects to be the fifth starter, stepping in for Brady Manek.When Black needs to be spelled or has foul trouble, Coach Davis has multiple options able to come in for him – Puff Johnson, Dontrez Styles, and Tyler Nickel, to name a few.Host Isaac Schade and Coach Pac Kilby take you through Black's game as well as expectations for the upcoming seasonFollow the show: Locked On Tar Heels (YouTube) Locked On Tar Heels (LinkTree) Locked On Tar Heels (Twitter) Locked On Tar Heels (Instagram) Isaac Schade (Twitter) Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn jobs helps you find the candidates you want to talk to, faster.

When Black women gather, there is bound to be some fun and giggles. With Abra Lee, there is a bond that allows us to know we are doing what we do for a reason. As we unearth some lesser-known horticultural truths as it pertains to African Americans in horticulture, we are essentially sowing seeds to educate and inspire. Horticulture is a field that we know and it offers endless opportunities for anyone - even minority youth - to excel. As I always say, #wegrowmorethancollards and we really do.

There were no Black students or faculty at the opening of the Rice Insitute in 1912, but in this episode, we take a look at some of the schools being built and attended by Black Houstonians at the same time. When Black faculty like Dr. Rose M. Brewer finally do begin to arrive at Rice in the 1970s, what do their paths to the university tell us about the first decade of desegregation at Rice?

  In this episode of Build the Damn Thing, Kathryn Finney shares how a series of unfortunate events led her to create Genius Guild, which is supported by one of the most powerful women in the world -- Melinda Gates.

Dear America, You're welcome. Ya'll gonna learn to listen to us. Signed, Black Women I'm being facetious but low-key serious. After the 2020 election, we saw people singing the praises of Black women. Even for those on another political side, they can't deny the impact Black women made this election cycle. It further solidifies what we already know: When Black women show up, we change the game. I call it the Stacey Abrams Effect. While there are a multitude of women who also contributed to the outcome of the election, she has been one of the most prominent names at the helm. Sis got folks amped to work for change in their own city/state; others are shook. (Example? Over 200 bills have been introduced to restrict voter access.) The results from the election are receipts, proving when we harness our power, we can alter the trajectory in any space. In our family. In our community. At our place of employment. And yes, in the political realm. In this episode, we'll chop it up with Michele Watley, the founder of Shirley's Kitchen Cabinet. SKC is nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to amplifying the voices and power of Black women through education and advocacy. The goal is to help Black women become effective advocates for the issues that personally matter to them. Lean in and be encouraged to tap into both your personal and political power. Because when we do, transformation happens.

When Black and brown girls don’t see black ballerinas in the world’s most prestigious troupes, they don’t know that dancing is something that’s possible for them. A career in professional ballet is already a long shot for MOST girls, but the odds are even more stacked against Black girls who rarely, if ever, see prima ballerinas of color succeed. So when my dear friend Riva Lombardi told us about 16-year old Imani Lindsay, who is one of the only Black dancers at the National Ballet School of Canada, where she has trained for many years and currently lives in residence, we jumped at the chance to interview her.

We all know that culturally, there are different ways of communicating. When it comes to Black people, since slavery there has been a reliance on a head nod to communicate safety. To some, it may look like a simple gesture but for Black men especially, it can be a way of saying: “I see you and all is well.” WUWM's LaToya Dennis organized a roundtable conversation with Anthony Courtney, Andre Ellis, Trevis Hardman and Kwabena Antoine Nixon to talk about the head nod. Anthony Courtney founded an organization called My Brothers Incorporated. He describes it as a manhood training program. Courtney is also the eldest, and is respectfully called Baba by the other men. Baba is an African term denoting respect due to one’s age and status in society. Courtney explains the origin of the head nod: “When Black people were planning rebellions, the men on the plantations OK what would take place, they wouldn’t talk. When it was going to go down, they simply [head nod]. They wanted to clarify when it

Black students in Canada have higher dropout rates, suspensions and expulsions than their peers. In the latest episode of No Little Plans, we’re asking: how can we make education in Canada more equitable?Show NotesThe killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer sparked a worldwide movement in 2020, inspiring millions to take to the streets to protest the scourge of anti-Black racism. And yet many Canadians still see anti-Black racism as solely an American concern. But make no mistake: it’s deeply ingrained in our society, too. And for many Black Canadians, institutional racism starts in the classroom. According to a UN report, Black students in Canada have disproportionately high dropout, expulsion and suspension rates, and they’re more likely to be streamed out of academic programs.The quality of education received by Black students has an impact on their access to future employment and income reports the UN’s Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent.Racism isn’t explicitly mentioned in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, but equitable education is—and you can’t talk about that subject without first looking racial discrimination. In this episode, No Little Plans’ new host Tokunbo Adegbuyi examines the barriers that Black students face in education. Adegbuyi, who lives in Edmonton, has spent the past several years working children and youth in the social sector, mostly in public schools. “Seeing this issue from both sides, as a Black kid who grew up in Edmonton, and then as a pseudo-authority figure in a school,” he says, “students of colour have a different, often tougher, experience in these spaces. And they need advocates.”“It takes a toll on you to always hear, ‘Prove it, prove it, prove it…’ We don't get justice. We have to fight for it.”- Charline GrantIn the episode, we interview Charline Grant, a Black mother of three from Woodbridge, Ontario. Grant describes how she first became involved in advocacy when her eldest son, Ziphion, began experiencing unfair treatment from teachers as early as Grade 2. “When white kids do it, we hear they're articulate. They’re assertive,” she says. When Black kids do, they're aggressive.” By the time he’d entered high school, Grant says, Ziphion was being over-policed by authority figures. One time, he and his friends were approached by a staff member and chided for not wearing the school uniform. His white friends got off easy, she says, while Ziphion, who wasn’t given the opportunity to tell his version of events, was suspended for two days  After much lobbying from Grant and other parents, the suspension was expunged from Ziphion’s record and the school board issued a letter of apology. “We still went through that trauma. We still had an experience. And other students are going through it,” she says.“There are assumptions teachers make about the capacity of some students to do work in particular subject areas. [As a society,] we build these stereotypes and teachers will teach to the stereotypes,” - Dr. Carl JamesDr. Carl Everton James, a professor of education and the Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community and Diaspora at York University, has been studying the inequity in Canada’s education system for many years. We spoke to him about his landmark 2017 research study, in which he consulted with 374 parents, teachers and administrators—80 per cent of them Black—and collected Toronto District School Board data on suspension rates, post-secondary acceptance, special education needs, and what sort of classes Black students are attending in high school. In the end, he discovered that Black students were twice as likely as white students to be enrolled in non-academic programs—the ones that don’t lead to college or university.This is due to a system called streaming, in which the school decides which stream of courses a student should take. Different streams lead to different post-secondary paths, which in turn lead to different income-earning opportunities. “We're talking about a society that reproduces these kinds of stereotypes. The idea of who is going to be good at math versus who's going to be good at science,” James says. “We can officially do away with streaming, but if stereotypes of certain groups exist in our society, they're going to be streamed.” He describes an incident he heard during his study in which a Black student and Asian student were chatting during math class, and the teacher immediately assumed the Black student was asking the Asian student for help. In fact, it was the other way around.“[The Ottawa Catholic District School Board] approved a huge, huge budget to purchase diverse resources for our schools to reflect the diverse racial identities of students and staff within our board. This is really critical to fostering anti-racist education."- Mante MolepoThroughout the episode, the subject of bias keeps coming up—how it acts as a filter through which we see the world, through which an educator might see their students. How does a student succeed if they’re not expected to succeed? To navigate those questions, Adegbuyi speaks to Mante Molepo, a lawyer and the equity and diversity advisor for the Ottawa Catholic District School Board.One of the main problems she identifies is the relative lack of Black representation among educators and administrators in many Canadian school boards. She points out that, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, a Black student is more likely to graduate high school or go on to post-secondary education when they’ve had Black teachers—when they’ve seen themselves reflected in authority figures. “When you have Black administrators and system leaders, they’re able to implement an education system that is more likely to be anti-racist,” she says.And that representation in leadership, she argues, needs to start not just with the people implementing those systems, but with the ones creating them. “Who gets to write [anti-racism] policies? Who gets to interpret them?...When we look at how policies are being developed, do we have Black communities consulting and providing their input?” she asks. As for representation, she points out that one way communities can help ensure equity at their institutions is to elect Black trustees to the school board. These are people who approve multi-million-dollar budgets, who guide the direction of schools, who work closely with superintendents and education directors. “School board trustees, by acknowledging anti-Black racism and really being intentional about addressing it, they can really give direction to the school board to implement an anti-racist education.”

When a Black Man or Woman dies in some way, shape, or form, that person dies twice: once physically and again in the media. The knee on neck execution of George Floyd. The lethal injection of Brandon Bernard. Depending on how the story is told, the slain Black Man or Women becomes a marketing martyr used by Celebrities, Influencers, Activists & Politicians hogging camera time to build their platforms. First, we must understand the historical context of using the murders of Black Men as marketing, and how we can understand the intention of the news to make sure we are aware and thinking beyond what the media feeds us.   This can be an inflammatory topic, but Dr. Venus walks it real slow and comes from a standpoint of money and marketing, not about murder or morals.   Key Takeaways: [1:42] Dr. Venus’s intent is not to focus on the murders, but to encourage you to be aware how people and companies can use the stories and narratives to elevate their own platforms and make a name for themselves. She just wants you to understand how marketing works so that you don’t get played. [7:40] The intent of the news is to make known that which is abhorrent, extreme and exploitative. Humans have an innate desire to survive and scan the world around us for potential threats. It’s what keeps us watching and emotionally invested. It’s not personal, it’s just how the machine is run. [9:20] Media is designed to push your buttons. Good marketing can be so influential that it sways us to take actions and experience emotions we think are organic to us, but are really because of the clever design and influence of the message. [11:40] Dr. Venus discusses the historical context of Black Men being murdered being used for marketing. In the Confederate Army’s mind, they won the battle in South Texas in 1865. During Reconstruction in the North if they had honored Lincoln’s intent, we would have a different history, but instead they celebrated the war heroes of the Confederacy and continue to still do so today. [15:18] When Black people got free, the lawmakers created laws that were so impossible to follow that it made sure they weren’t able to get their footing in society. When poor Whites and Blacks got together, they started to elect Black people in Congress, so Southerners spread rumors about Black Men raping White Women, which created fear and frenzy. This led to a public viewing of lynching Black Men and showing the bodies burning to make sure others saw. [17:34] This “marketing” kept Black people scared and oppressed, and White people thinking Black Men were the enemy. [18:01] Present day, we have activists, influencers, and celebrities such as Kim Kardashian advocating for Black Men not to get executed. While they may have good intent, we must look at what it does for their platform and what they might be using this marketing for. [22:38] Pay attention to the headlines and what they choose to put in, and especially what they choose to leave out. Dr. Venus discusses both the Casey Goodson and Brandon Bernard stories and how the media manipulated what was in the headline, and what was omitted unless you did your own research. [26:41] It’s important to have context, otherwise you will get manipulated by the media and they will make money off you. [30:26] Strategy always trumps emotions, and now is a crucial time to get clear on what you are marketing and build a life where you are paid for your knowledge rather than your time. The great equalizer is not race, it’s money.   Quotes: “Good marketing doesn’t even look like marketing at all. It makes you look like you did that.” “They showed the bodies burning, they showed the legs twitching. It’s called marketing.” “People build platforms and elevate their status through the deaths of Black people. And it’s not new, it’s historical.” “I don’t mind losing an argument or being wrong, but I refuse to be used.”  “While we are marching, they are making money.”   “I march because I’m aware, not because I’m reacting.” “The biggest difference in my peace, money, and life is when I took her attention away from racism and put it in White Supremacy.”     Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Pilot  ”Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese) Join the conversation!

The poem that Dr. King recites is actually an excerpt from a song titled "Niggas" by Asheru. Asheru performs the series' theme song. Reverend Al Sharpton publicly criticized Aaron McGruder and Adult Swim for this episode. Sharpton felt that depicting Martin Luther King using the word "nigga" would "desecrate black historic figures". He demanded a public apology and threatened to stage a protest against Time Warner, Adult Swim's parent company. McGruder spoofed Sharpton's criticism in subsequent episodes and in the comic strip the show is based on. This episode aired on Martin Luther King's birthday (January 15th). Dr. King would have been 77 years old. Aaron McGruder won a Peabody Award (an award for excellent storytelling) for this episode!

We do so with Dr. Ruth Nicole Brown, the Inaugural Chairperson and Professor of AAAS, Dr. Tamura Lomax, Foundational Associate Professor of AAAS, Dr. Kristie Dotson, Executive Academic Advisor to AAAS and Professor of Philosophy, and Dr. April Baker-Bell, continuing member of the transition team and Associate Professor of Language, Literacy and English Education. “The African American and African Studies at Michigan State University (AAAS) began as a program in 2002,” says Dotson. “What was unique about it is that it was a program that was PhD granting. It did not have an undergraduate arm, but it did offer PhDs. One of the things the department is working toward on is a real commitment to supporting Black people, helping to facilitate and create cultural workers in Black communities, and to Black sovereignty.”I was excited to read about AAAS's core areas and feminism, genders and sexuality studies,” Brown says, in talking about what attracted her to AAAS at MSU, “I was excited by the new build of this department and what we would create. It would be collectively oriented and anew, which meant that this work is bigger than any one person. And I'm interested always in being a part of something that will have impact for generations. The call for that integral chairperson position affirms my long-held commitment to ways that affirm Black communities and Black thought life.”“The timing, the opportunity, and the people all aligned for me,” says Lomax. “Anyone who knows the history of Black studies knows that the emphasis on Black feminism is revolutionary. I don't mean in terms of offering a few classes here and there or sprinkling Black women faculty here and there. I mean literally to specifically and unapologetically center and weave Black feminism in our curriculum and our values, and our bylaws. “The second thing is that we share a collective statement and the wellbeing of the whole, that's very important to Black feminism because, just to paraphrase Anna Julia Cooper, ‘When Black women are centered, everyone else's centered too.' That is what drew me to the department. When I understood the vision for where this department could possibly go, I wanted to be here.”“We insist that Black studies uncovers and creates technologies of living for all Black people in Black futures,” adds Brown. “When we say Black people, we mean all Black people. When we say Black futures, that is to say beyond survival into wellness, that is our vision that we created together. It guides our work, it guides our interactions, it guides our curriculum, and it will guide the work that we continue to do in the new build.”“We have three organizing inquiries that motivate and sustain our work: Black Cultures and Institutions, Black Girlhood Studies, and Black Speculative Ecologies,” Dotson adds. “We specialize in community and cultural works, cultivating radical imagination, and collective revolutionary knowledge production. As a unit we are committed to making concrete connections between our scholarship, pedagogy, and social justice.”“One of the main opportunities and challenges that is before us is that we have an opportunity to shape students who will go out and create alternative futures,” Lomax says. “I'm expecting them to go out and fight for this world, this other world that we want, where everyone can be a part of it and everyone can be a part of it in terms of wealth. One where everyone is living well and has an opportunity to access wellness. Right now that's not the case. But Black folks know that it's not been the case forever than in the United States.“This is an opportunity for MSU to say who they are through the work that we do. There is a history, there's a narrative, that's not so good. It is important that we do well and that this work is supported. There's a lot at stake for us personally, there's a lot at stake for the institution, there's a lot at stake for the department. We need it to do well. For me, I need it to do well because I need to see this future that I've been dreaming about.”“This is the department we've all been waiting for,” says Baker Bell. “This is the department we've needed for a very long time. I needed this department as an undergraduate student. I'm thinking about my daughter; this is the department she will need to be part of to explain our history and to map out the future we need. I'm so excited about what this will mean for our future students to come, not just at Michigan State, but everywhere. How is this particular department going to transform Black studies all around the country? I'm really excited and hopeful. I think it's so necessary. It's been necessary, but I'm really excited about the work that we're going to do.”The group discusses some its short and long term goals and some of the challenges and opportunities to reaching the goals, especially during a global pandemic.

When Black and brown girls don’t see black ballerinas in the world’s most prestigious troupes, they don’t know that dancing is something that’s possible for them. A career in professional ballet is already a long shot for MOST girls, but the odds are even more stacked against Black girls who rarely, if ever, see prima ballerinas of color succeed. So when my dear friend Riva Lombardi told us about 16-year old Imani Lindsay, who is one of the only Black dancers at the National Ballet School of Canada, where she has trained for many years and currently lives in residence, we jumped at the chance to interview her.

You bring all the love and all the joy and all the memories that’s gone into the shaping of who you are.” –Dr. Cornel West The Tight Rope Episode #5“The vicious legacy of white supremacy has been one in which it has tried to convince Black people that we are less moral, less beautiful, less intelligent, and ought therefore feel intimidated and never have anything really safe and never have a home. So we had to create home in our language, we had to create home in our music, we had to create home in our relationships that are always dynamic. It’s a way of being fortified that is dynamic.” –Dr. Cornel West The Tight Rope Episode #5“We’re going to have to get highly creative because Black folk without hugging… somehow we’re going to come up with creative, virtual, abstract ways. We got to have some way of affirming, enabling, and ennobling each other.” –Dr. Cornel West The Tight Rope Episode #5“I’ve been making art for as long as I’ve been alive… The work hasn’t changed that much honestly, which I’m grateful for. Just more people watch me do it now.” – Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5On Hamilton: “Its success is directly based on the fact that it was brown and black bodies portraying the founders of our country-- and also that the music was great... The buy in from America that I felt while I was working in Hamilton was a particularly hopeful version of it… It really is a product of the Obama era.” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5On Hamilton’s “colorblind” casting: “If you don’t make sure to contextualize some of the things in it, there are some dangerous assumptions there. It is about the building of a financial system, [but] it doesn’t contextualize it as one that is fundamentally racist. The revolutionary act is having black and brown bodies portray that moment in history. And that makes a statement that we should and we deserve to be able to participate in it, and in fact, it was built on our bodies. But you gotta make sure to really put that at the front of it, in a way that honestly [Hamilton] was always scared to.” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5On Hamilton’s delayed public support of Black Lives Matter: “So what does that say? That a show built on black and brown bodies about giving black and brown bodies a sense of ownership over a financial system that was built on black and brown bodies refused to publicly support black and brown bodies.” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5On Hamilton’s delayed public support of Black Lives Matter: “That’s just a matter of moral courage versus cash making.” –Dr. Cornel West The Tight Rope Episode #5“You have to view art in the context of the moment you’re viewing it in, especially theater. Theater takes place in a time and a place. So if you’re going to revive a play, you should have a reason for reviving that play now. What are you saying now that either speaks to the original motive for it or that reframes it in a different way?” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5“The thing that has always worried me about Hamilton [is] a colorblind ideology that drives people’s enthusiasm for what is going on. That is to say, on the one hand, everyone gets to be black and brown, but on the other hand, “I don’t see color! Thomas Jefferson can be black, or can be played for a black person because I don’t see color in the first place” But you’re celebrating it because you see color, because you know there’s a racial hierarchy and you know this illusion of colorblindness creates racial privilege. But then you’re going to tell me you don’t see it at the same time.” –Tricia Rose The Tight Rope Episode #5“For me, it’s not color blind; it’s color specific… Turning Thomas Jefferson into this comic, foppish, uber privileged character, there’s an element of cakewalk in there. This is like being able to imitate the slavemaster in front of the slavemaster.” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5“In a Broadway audience, there's like four Black people in the audience every night. We can see them. I can see who they are. And we are having a different experience than the rest of the audience is having all in the same space… The nuance of this conversation doesn’t come through on a large scale until you also diversify the audience in a better way than Broadway has managed to do… Are we really interested in Broadway anymore? Or do other spaces do this better?” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5“I love playing a fool, but I like the fool to have context for their decisions. I like there to be a choice being made.” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5“When you’re less known, you choose things and you happen to become known for them. Then at a certain point, the fact that you are choosing something becomes an event. At that point, I feel like I have to be a lot more careful about what it says that I choose [a role].” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5On the cultural differences he experienced at Brown University: “I could not for the life of me understand why every Black person I saw wanted to shake my hand… because I had never categorized my Blackness as being part of an endangered species.” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5“The thing I appreciate most about Judaism is that analysis and argument are baked into the religion. Talmudic scholarship is really about just arguing about what the Torah is about.” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5On his role as an actor: “I’m responsible for this character’s portion of the story. It’s all about the story. If the story doesn’t come across, every piece of it failed... We all have to work together to make sure that the story comes across in all its nuances and it can raise all the questions it’s trying to raise.” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5“August Wilson used to say, “When Black people perform, they authorize an alternative reality.” To be able to be in the water and not wet, to be on the mothership away from a white supremacist world that is putting you down but you’re still preserving your sanity by, not being stupid, but being foolish in the most profound sense of what it is to be a holy fool.” –Dr. Cornel West The Tight Rope Episode #5On the Hyphy Movement: “You’ve been calling me dumb for so long, I’m going to go out and show you how beautiful dumb is and show you what exactly dumb looks like. We’re going to act the fool in this incredibly profound way... We would all hop out of the car at a stoplight and just hold up traffic and party in the middle of the street. And it’s this performance of despite everything I have been through, that you have put me through, watch my joy. You have to stand on the sidelines cause you’re actually never going to feel it.” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5“Artists are interpreters of data… cultural data analysis is what we do. So we can see something out there and break that down and take a number or an observed behavior and break that down into something that can be felt.” –Daveed Diggs The Tight Rope Episode #5“When popular culture, to me, is really making its own generational mark, it’s in conversation-- it doesn’t have to be with elders-- but with other musical traditions in a way that respects something bigger than what’s going to be consumed in a short-term way.” –Tricia Rose The Tight Rope Episode #5  Stay Connected:Cornel WestWebsite: http://www.cornelwest.comTwitter: @CornelWestFacebook: Dr. Cornel West - HomeInstagram: @BrotherCornelWest Linktree: Cornel West  Tricia RoseWebsite: http://www.triciarose.com/LinkedIn: Tricia RoseTwitter: @ProfTriciaRoseFacebook: Tricia RoseInstagram: @ProfTriciaRoseYoutube: Professor Tricia Rose  Daveed DiggsWebsite: Deveed DiggsTwitter: @DaveedDiggsFacebook Fan Page: @daveeddiggs Instagram: @daveeddiggsPlaybill: Daveed DiggsIMDb: Daveed DiggsApple Music: Daveed Diggs clipping. Website: clppng.com Twitter: @clppngFacebook: @clppngYoutube: clppngSoundcloud: clipping.Bandcamp: clppng.bandcamp.comApple Music: clipping.  The Tight RopeWebsite: www.thetightropepodcast.comInstagram: @thetightropepodTwitter: @thetightropepodFacebook: The Tight Rope Pod This episode was produced and managed by Spkerbox Media in collaboration with Podcast Laundry.

In this episode I am highlighting: JaCoi James of The Black Women's Wall Street. Here's more info about The Black Women's Wall Street: Black Women's Wall Street, Inc. was formed in 2018 by women who each had a unique, yet powerful background. Each of these ladies recognized the greatness in each other and felt that there needed to be an organization put in place that would honor the black women for her strength, courage, intelligence and beauty. Too many times to count, there have been repeated instances, stories told by other Black women who have dreams of starting their own businesses yet are crippled by either fear, lack of knowledge or lack of support from those around them. Interestingly enough, there is history of Black businesses thriving and supporting each other in what was once known as Black Wall Street. Black Wall Street, formerly known as The Greenwood Neighborhood, was in Tulsa, Oklahoma back in 1905. Blacks during this time created a self-sufficient and prosperous business district which included a grocery store, barbershop, doctor's office and real estate agents. They even had their own school and newspaper! After a race riot that broke out in 1921, many of the businesses and homes were destroyed which after an attempt to rebuild, Black Wall Street never regained the strength and prestige it once had. For Black Women's Wall Street, Inc., we not only look to rebuild the community of businesses and support of what Black Wall Street once was but we want to do it on a slightly unique scale. Our Black women have been the strength that others have borrowed from and now, not only as women, but as Black women, we are requiring a seat at the table. We have grand ideas, formal education, husbands, children and elderly parents who look to us as nurturers, educators and providers in our homes. We are multi-talented with the brains to be CEO's in our homes, hearts the size of Texas and beauty that is often emulated. Black Women's Wall Street is on a mission to strengthen, encourage, train, support and empower women to not only create their own businesses but to be self-sustaining past the 3-5 year decline of most startup businesses. We look to create a community of women who want more and will fight to have more so that we can build a legacy and create wealth for our families for generations to come. When Black women fight for any cause, we fight for issues that benefit everyone and all communities! ​Black Women's Wall Street, Inc is a proud member of The Mansfield Area Chamber of Commerce and Arlington Black Chamber of Commerce. ​Connect with this amazing women entrepreneur and continue to GO BE GREAT! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/warkry/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/warkry/support

Today's conversation with Yoli Maya Yeh, an educator and healer working at the intersection of Indigenous Way, Healing Arts & Social Justice, is a conversation we had as part of the Daring to Rest Academy masterclass series. It felt too important a conversation to keep just for our Daring to Rest facilitators. Yoli shares with us her thoughts on the sacred destruction happening in our world today, particularly how it relates to racism and White privilege in the yoga world, classroom inclusion, and yoga nidra. She provides a perspective on yoga nidra that you may have never heard before, and is adamant that this practice is the secret sauce to transformation and deep healing. She's also a proponent of knowing the historical context and structure of yoga practices and then breaking that structure, especially as it relates to making these Euro-centric homogenous practices more inclusive for BIPOC folks. If you are White and work in wellness, or invest in wellness, Yoli provides you with an understanding of the landscape of this billion dollar industry, why BIPOC folks do not feel welcome, and invites White people to stop thinking your way to transformation, stop the spiritual bypassing, and be willing to go into the suffering so we can all live as one. Exhaustion comes in many forms. As Yoli says, the typical curriculums have encouraged color blindness at best and tolerance at least. This is not good enough. Today's episode helps you begin to understand why. Key Takeaways Why is yoga nidra a healing practice? Because 100% of the healing lives in yoga nidra. Once we arrive with enough mastery of the grammar (of yoga nidra) then it's important that we break the grammar. Right now we're in a period of sacred destruction – repurposing, remodeling dismantling. The euro-centric approach to yoga is an incredibly generic homogenous model…whose goal was to create docile followers. People of color have never been tracked for leadership, as knowledge holders and innovators. What white people did was they destroyed their indigenous traditions. BIPOC folks don't subscribe to scarcity as an economic model and the heart of capitalism is scarcity. When Black folks don't want to come to White people's yoga workshops, it's because they don't want to be racially attacked. Liberal White people are the most trouble because partial knowledge is dangerous. Every time you practice yoga nidra you open up the portal to spontaneous healing. You can't think your way through transformation – you actually have to do the practices. The whisper of the moment is that we all are one, but that's such a dangerous statement.

Not Racist? Not Enough! - How to become anti-racist.This is from my perspective as an African who wasn’t always anti-racist. Being Black wasn’t enough for me, I had to become actively anti-racist. Many Black activist resist the idea of teaching anti-racism to white people and NBPOC because they are tired. I still have some energy so let’s go!Not being racist is the bare minimum, you don’t get cookies for it. And this goes for all Africans or non American Black people, people of color and other immigrants. Some ways you can become actively anti-racist:First of all fight the egotistical need to be seen as not-racist. Not being racist is not enough, the goal is to be actively anti racistPick up a book, many books and educate yourself on the racist past and present of America. Education really is key, take the time to actually educate yourself. Begin to notice anti Blackness in movies and the media. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Then help your family and friends see it too.When Black people tell you something is racist, believe us. It’s not in our heads. It’s not made up. We don’t make everything about race. Teach your kids to see color. Them being color blind is part of the problem. Say the word Black when referring to Black people. It’s not a dirty word. We’re not inherently violent.

When Black males start to achieve, the mobility rates for our community will pick up exponentially.  That is the opportunity for us, but it is also the risk, if we don’t.

In this role, Jim is investigating new areas where significant focused capital can help solve problems at scale and advising Blue Meridian. Jim is also a founding partner of Amandla Enterprises, Senior Advisor for Education at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and non-resident fellow at the Brookings Institute. Prior to this, he served as President and Chief Impact Officer of 2U, Inc. and was deputy secretary at the US Department of Education (and head of its office of innovation and improvement) under President Obama.

Join Dustin Lance Black, influential LGBTQ+ activist and the Academy Award-winning screenwriter behind Milk, as he reveals his unexpectedly conservative origins in his new memoir, Mama's Boy: A Story from Our Americas, providing personal and philosophical insight into the complicated divide between red and blue America. Black's memoir chronicles his coming of age in a military, Mormon household in Texas and moving to more liberal California after his mother's remarriage. Finding himself at odds with the religious and political atmosphere of his family and his community's condemnation of his sexuality, Black kept his identity a secret. He ultimately found release and professional success in the arts and reveals that throughout his often difficult childhood, he and his mother always managed to share a powerful bond of support. When Black played an instrumental role in the overturning of California's antigay marriage Proposition 8, she was next to him despite a lifetime of opposition. Join Dustin Lance Black live at INFORUM as he reflects on his personal journey to self-acceptance and success and shares his unique perspective on bridging the many divides in our country today.

This week, Dahlia and Amy talk about the spate of incidents of racists calling the police on Black people and POC doing everyday things. When Black and Indigenous people took up space at a Starbucks, enjoyed themselves at a park BBQ, and went on a campus visit at a university, anxious white racists took to dialing 911. This is a case of white supremacy literally policing where non-white people are allowed to go in their daily lives, posing a danger to the lives of people of color in these situations. Let’s keep talking about these incidents so they don’t become normalized. Some communities have come together to show they won’t be scared off, like the folks in Oakland around Lake Merritt. Plus, we still really want to hear about your fave Golden Girl!

Dear America: So much to say, but so little time. White America is in an uproar.  They have finally elected a President who is actually doing what he said that he would do. They didn't really mind the hateful rhetoric that was spewed at marginalized communities as long as he allowed hem to maintain their white privilege.  To keep things fair and balanced, he is sharing some of the love with the white community and they don't like it.  Leave their birth control and abortions alone!! White women thought that the President was just making small talk when he stated that he would go after Planned Parenthood, Roe vs. Wade, equal pay for equal work, etc.  He told you exacly what he was going to do and you didn't believe him.  Now you want us to march with you to protest the injustice.  When Black women pushed back, you clutched your pearls, called us ungrateful bitches, and (as usual) blamed us for everything that went wrong. We are used to this type of behavior from yu and this is why we disregard those white tears.  Your white fragility is going to get us killed. White America, will you be there when they come for us? Will you be there cheering them on as they persecute us for not working for free, or subjecting ourselves to your abuse and exploitation, or sitting in the cut saying nothing because you're afraid that they will come after you next.  They will come after you and there will be no one there to stand up for you. How many of you are going to stand with us as they implement a new war on drugs, crime, etc.?  Jeff Sessions is chomping at the bit to incarcerate as many of us as possible.  Will you be taking pictures to put in your photo album talking about the good old days?

When Black leaders demanded equality and World War II demanded more skilled soldiers, the Tuskegee Airmen, or "Red-Tail Angels," became the first African American pilots to train for combat.

So many children live in families where a Father, Mother, Uncles and other family members are incarcerated in a prison and jail. How much of that fact should, especially small children, know and see about incarceration ? When Black children visit places of incarceration, what are the messages, what are they learning and what are they internalizing ? How does it affect their sense of "being Black" where it seems that "Black" may very be "very bad". Should we require some new configuration of visiting for children? Private conditions, children being away from obnoxious others, including visitors? Our young children share a family's pain when coping with incarceration and law offenses. Should they be exposed to the possibility that a prison is a mirror ? What is the balance in dealing with incarcerated family members ? What should public policy address regarding this issue ? What are some probable solutions to the issue of protecting children and family unification ? How can technology be used to address this issue ? Should the solutions/policy/rules be crime type specific ?
