Black women are leaving the workforce and it’s a warning sign for the entire economy. From media to tech, more than 300,000 Black women have left their jobs in the last year. What’s driving this exodus, and what does it reveal about the state of work in America? Bridget speaks with: Anna Gifty, economist and author of the fascinating new book The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged, and Underpaid, and sociologist Marianne Cooper, Senior Research Scholar at Stanford University's VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab, about the economic pressures, pay gaps, and burnout pushing Black women out and why their exit should concern everyone.

For the James Beard Award–winning writer and culinary historian Michael W. Twitty, kitchens provide a multitude of significant purposes that stretch far into the past and carry through to the present. Beyond being places where people cook, share, and eat food, they also serve as vital spaces in which to gather in community, to grieve and process trauma, to teach and learn, to dance, to heal, and to experience Black love and joy. Twitty's multilayered cooking draws on his family roots, his personal history, and his deep culinary knowledge of the American South. His latest title, the cookbook Recipes From the American South (Phaidon), brings his skill as a home cook and historically informed recipe-maker to the fore, allowing ingredients and dishes to transform into cultural and temporal touchpoints. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Twitty reflects on what researching and uncovering his ancestry has taught him about Southern cooking and himself, and shares why, for him, food functions as a tangible form of cultural reclamation and emotional healing.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Michael W.

In today's episode, personal trainer and future pelvic floor physical therapist Röbynn Europe demystifies all things pelvic floor health: what it is, why it matters, and how to get help when needed. Röbynn breaks down the “core as a box” (diaphragm, abs, back, pelvic floor), explains Kegels beyond the basics (the dreaded/loved “elevator” holds), and shares signs something needs attention: from incontinence to painful sex, low-back/groin pain, and post-birth changes (including after C-sections). We also dig into why men, too, should train their pelvic floors (especially lifters), and how much knowledge and representation are power when it comes to pelvic health. In this episode, we discussed:The “core as a box” model and why pelvic floor strength anchors itKegels, including progressive “elevator” reps and timed holdsRed flags to look out for: different types of incontinence, incomplete emptying, painful sex, pelvic/low-back painPostpartum & the value of pelvic floor therapy even after a C-sectionThe importance of pelvic health for menThe value of representation and knowledge in improving Black health outcomes through pelvic floor care

Season 9's newest Mental Man Monday livestream might be the most faith-filled and confrontational one yet. After a week off, Izzy Baker returns with DJ No Name, co-host of The HL Podcast, for an unfiltered conversation that blends spiritual awakening with cultural reality.The night begins with a bold recap of the latest PSA: The Mental Health Podcast episode, “Can Men and Women Truly Be Friends?” DJ No Name gives Izzy his flowers for hosting one of the most transparent, necessary, and uncomfortable conversations men have ever had about friendship, temptation, and maturity. Speaking from the lens of marriage, DJ No Name admits how rare it is to see Black men display this level of honesty and vulnerability on-camera.From there, the dialogue pivots into current events — specifically UPS's 48,000 layoffs and what Izzy calls “the season of uncomfortable exits.” He draws a powerful parallel between economic instability and spiritual transition, warning that when God closes doors, it's not rejection — it's redirection. “You can't go back to Egypt,” Izzy declares. “You can't run back to what He freed you from.”The conversation heats up even more when they address Pastor Jamal Bryant's controversial move to suspend church tithes for the entire month of November, instead collecting canned goods for families affected by SNAP cuts. DJ No Name questions whether Bryant's decision was genuine sacrifice or clever PR, while Izzy argues that this is what real ministry looks like — giving without expecting a return.As the stream wraps, both men confront what it truly means to keep faith in famine, to trust purpose through layoffs, and to stay generous in a selfish world. This episode isn't just about religion — it's about resistance. It's about not running back to comfort when God is calling you to grow.Listen. Reflect. Don't just survive this season — shift through it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

In this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into groundbreaking astronomical discoveries that challenge our understanding of the universe.The Most Massive Stellar Black Hole Merger Ever ObservedAstronomers have detected the most massive stellar black hole merger to date, cataloged as GW23 1123, which resulted in a black hole with a staggering mass of 225 times that of our Sun. This episode discusses the implications of this merger, observed by the LIGO Virgo Collaboration, and how it pushes the boundaries of current theories on black hole formation. The rapid spinning of the resulting black hole raises intriguing questions about the processes that lead to such massive objects in the cosmos.Unraveling the Mystery of Dark MatterCan radio telescopes and NASA's IMAP mission provide answers to the enigma of dark matter? New research suggests that during the cosmic dark ages, dark matter clumped together, pulling in hydrogen gas that emitted powerful radio waves. This segment explores how these signals could potentially illuminate the properties of dark matter, which remains one of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics.Navigating the Heliosphere with IMAPNASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is on a mission to study the heliosphere, the protective bubble created by the solar wind. As it travels towards its operational position, IMAP will provide unprecedented insights into the interactions between the solar wind and interstellar space, enhancing our understanding of space weather and its effects on our planet and future space exploration.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Proceedings of the National Academy of Scienceshttps://www.pnas.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.The Most Massive Stellar Black Hole Merger Ever ObservedUnraveling the Mystery of Dark MatterNavigating the Heliosphere with IMAP

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, we need to rid the Republican Party, the movement, and constitutional conservatism of bigots, racists, anti-Semites, and anti-Americans. These low lives, like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and Nick Fuentes, dishonor the greatest generation that defeated Hitler, Tojo, and Mussolini. It's a time for choosing between the good guys and the bad guys, America or the Third Reich/Soviet Union. Republicans must stand up and confront the spread unlike Democrats who allowed it.  Later, electing Zohran Mamdani in New York City would lead to its downfall, causing investors, businesses and residents to flee and the city's capitalist core will be destroyed, just like London and Paris. Mamdani and his supporters like Linda Sarsour refuse assimilate and instead aim to conquer, devour, and dismantle the culture, police, communities, private property rights, and economy. This would attract unassimilated individuals from afar, harden electoral battles, and escalate into a cultural war beyond politics, with devastating effects on education, policing, healthcare, and wealth redistribution, driving successful people away.  After, the Democrats in New Jersey caused high electricity bills and property taxes by cutting off traditional energy supplies and relying on ineffective primitive technologies like wind and solar, driven by ideology over practical knowledge. Voters need to reject the Democrat government mismanagement. Voting Democrat means more of the same destruction as seen in California, Finally, Winsome Earle-Sears, a Black women running for Virginia Governor, undermines the Democrat's identity politics and propaganda. Barack Obama campaigned for Abigail Spanberger, a White women running for Virginia Governor, who pretends to be moderate but votes radically left. This election is about ideology from the third world and seventh century, not race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B, alongside super producer A-King and journalist Jayson Rodriguez, dives into a timely and layered conversation about the fine line between critiquing and hating — and how that distinction shapes modern culture, creativity, and discourse. The episode opens with an introduction and book promotion [00:00], followed by a warm welcome to Selective Ignorance [00:38] that sets the stage for an engaging and introspective discussion on the culture of critique and haters [00:57]. Mandii, A-King, and Jayson unpack the difference between constructive feedback and negativity, especially within the entertainment industry. Their conversation transitions into a broader dialogue on Black art and criticism [02:35], where they examine how cultural expression often faces unfair scrutiny compared to mainstream counterparts. The tone remains conversational yet insightful as they introduce the super producer [03:37] — with A-King adding a behind-the-scenes lens to the discussion — before diving into language learning and cultural references [04:16], exploring how global influences shape both art and perception. The hosts briefly pivot to Bad Bunny’s political commentary [06:16], discussing how artists use their platforms for activism and the public’s polarizing reactions to it. The energy stays dynamic as Mandii shares career updates and her new radio show [09:11], giving listeners a peek into her professional growth and reflections on navigating media spaces. This leads naturally into a deeper conversation about the music industry [16:24], the blurred lines between artistry and business, and the constant evolution of creative identity. As the dialogue progresses, the hosts examine the power of social media and public perception [21:35], analyzing how online platforms amplify both critique and hate. They consider the challenges artists face when every opinion becomes public property and every misstep a trending topic. The group transitions to expectations and criticism in art [28:23], exploring how audience bias, nostalgia, and personal preference influence what’s celebrated and what’s condemned. The conversation takes a cinematic turn as Mandii, A-King, and Jayson begin diving into film critiques [40:43], starting with Marlon Wayans’ film Him [41:39]. Mandii praises the project for its symbolism and layered themes [42:23], describing how it thoughtfully examines identity, faith, and self-reflection. The discussion briefly detours into football culture and American society [43:53], drawing parallels between competitive spirit in sports and the cutthroat nature of creative industries. Next, the team tackles critiquing the critics [46:27], reflecting on how discourse itself can become toxic — especially when audiences conflate differing opinions with hate. This meta moment sets up their review of Spike Lee and Denzel Washington’s ‘Highest to Lowest’ [52:49], where Mandii delivers an unfiltered yet thoughtful analysis of the film’s creative shortcomings and emotional intent. They analyze ‘Highest to Lowest’ in depth [56:15], exploring how execution, storytelling, and audience expectations intersect in shaping reception. As the discussion unfolds, they reflect on the art of critique and audience reactions [01:01:57], questioning whether social media has made honest conversation about art nearly impossible without backlash. The hosts then share their favorite films and personal preferences [01:13:43], grounding the discussion in a shared appreciation for storytelling and diverse perspectives. The episode wraps with final thoughts and an outro [01:19:17], where the trio emphasizes the value of open-mindedness, empathy, and balance when engaging with art — reminding listeners that critique, when done with care, is an act of love, not hate. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guest on Social Media Hey Assante Instagram @heyassante Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do we advocate for equity amidst federal policy changes that actively widen gender and racial gaps?Since April, a record-low unemployment rate for Black Americans has skyrocketed, surging from below 5% to 7.5%. At the same time, the unemployment rate for white Americans dropped slightly to below 4%. The economic position for Black women in particular was just beginning to get better, and today, slashed public sector jobs and a slew of other factors are causing a rapid backslide.When people of color, and especially Black women, lose ground, it's a flashing neon warning sign of systemic cracks that, ultimately, impact us all. In this episode, I'm breaking down the of data that highlights just how heavily our current economic problems are impacting American workers, families, and communities.The numbers don't lie. Here's what they show:The federal and public sector job cuts are disproportionately impacting Black women;Attacks on DEI programs are stifling improvements that had barely begun;Good leadership today looks like advocating for equity and opportunity for all.Related Links:Joint Center for Economic and Policy Research, “The Best Black Economy in Generations – And Why It Isn't Enough” - https://jointcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/The-Best-Black-Economy-in-Generations-Final.pdfEconomic Policy Institute, “What's behind rising unemployment for Black workers?” - https://www.epi.org/blog/whats-behind-rising-unemployment-for-black-workers/The New York Times, “The Racial Wage Gap is Shrinking” - https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/19/briefing/juneteenth-racial-wage-gap.htmlThe New York Times, “In Trump's Federal Work Force Cuts, Black Women Are Among the Hardest Hit” - https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/us/politics/trump-federal-work-force-black-women.htmlMSNBC, “300,000 Black women have left the labor force in 3 months.

Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Sonia Balfour-Fears.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's "Far Beyond the Stars" is an examination of racism in science fiction, then and now. When Captain Sisko experiences a vision of himself as Benny Russell, a Black science fiction writer in 1950s New York whose story about a Black space station captain gets rejected and pulped, the episode becomes a meta-commentary on the genre itself. Matthew and Riki unpack how this episode critiques not just 1950s racism, but the sci-fi publishing world of the 1960s and 1990s and even Star Trek's own blind spots, while exploring what it means when we fail to imagine beyond our own experiences.Questions We Discussed:How does "Far Beyond the Stars" critique both 1950s racism and the science fiction publishing world of the 1990s?Why did the episode focus exclusively on Benny Russell's pain rather than showing how his white colleagues reacted to being called out?Is Avery Brooks' emotional performance as Benny overacting, or does our inability to imagine his pain reveal our own failure of imagination?What does the episode reveal about the difference between "wishing" things were better and actually taking action against injustice?How has this episode aged since 1998, and why do many viewers find it hits harder on a rewatch as adults?Articles Mentioned:Deep Space Nine's ‘Far Beyond the Stars' is about Star Trek Itself by Joshua M PattonFar Beyond Those Distant Stars: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and an Afrofuturistic Approach to Religion by Roger A Sneed**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Guest co-host Ben Miller, Shoptalk's VP of Original Content and Strategy joins to provide expert analysis and we interview Lauren Sherman, the acclaimed fashion correspondent at Puck and author of Selling Sexy: Victoria's Secret and the Unraveling of an American IconThe episode kicks off with a rich news segment, where the trio unpacks the latest forces shaping retail and the economy. Amazon's strong Q3 earnings headline the week, with third-party marketplace growth and ad revenues surging 24%. The conversation then pivots to the consumer landscape, where CPG brands lean on pricing over volume, private-label growth accelerates, and Estee Lauder's rebound in China might hint at green shoots in luxury demand.From there, the hosts explore the AI revolution's ripple through the workforce, with Ben outlining how global companies are reorganizing around “agentic transformation” as human and machine intelligence increasingly converge. He notes that the average IQ of today's AI agents already exceeds 130—with future leaps that will reshape every operating model. The segment closes with Steve's macro overview: U.S.–China tariff recalibrations, Fed policy shifts, and warning signs of consumer softening among younger cohorts.In the feature interview, Lauren Sherman offers a masterclass on the shifting foundations of global fashion and luxury. From the post-pandemic boom to today's demand reset, she dissects how the Chinese slowdown, pricing strategy saturation, and the direct-to-consumer explosion are redrawing the map for brands like LVMH, Hermès, and Prada. Lauren argues that “untouchable” luxury houses are now confronting the limits of endless growth, and that resale and rental markets have permanently altered consumer psychology—embedding secondhand luxury as a normalized part of the buying journey.She also explores social media's transformation under AI, Hollywood's over-reliance on fashion partnerships, and why the luxury world's obsession with celebrity campaigns may have reached saturation.The episode also previews ShopTalk Luxe, the new Abu Dhabi-based event connecting the global luxury ecosystem. The hosts wrap by spotlighting the AI data-center boom, the rise of GLP-1-driven nutrition trends, and the surprising revival of British department stores.

In this deeply personal and politically urgent conversation, Dr. David Johns welcomes his White House family—Deesha Dyer, former Social Secretary to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama—for a raw discussion about what we lose when power demolishes history, and what endures when community builds with intention.Deesha takes us inside the moment she saw excavators tearing down the East Wing of the White House in October 2025—the space where she orchestrated state dinners, opened doors for people who never thought they'd walk through them, and made the People's House truly belong to the people.This conversation moves from the rubble of demolished institutions to the unshakeable foundation of community organizing. Deesha shares lessons learned from Michelle Obama about grace under pressure, why she wrote Undiplomatic for Black girls who "risk it all," and what defending democracy actually looks like in practice: investing in local organizations, letting leaders lead in their expertise, documenting our work, and showing up for each other with intention.Deesha's story is a masterclass in refusing to let imposter syndrome—or anyone else—define your worth. As she reminds us: buildings can be demolished in 72 hours, but they can't demolish the memories, the legacy, or the collective power we build together.This is required listening for anyone who believes that mutual aid isn't charity—it's how we survive, build, and love each other into liberation.Website: DeeshaDyer.comInstagram: @deedyer267Email: deesha@deeshadyer.com (She answers every email!)Book: Undiplomatic: How My Attitude Created the Best Kind of Trouble(Available at libraries and independent bookstores)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.
