Race Ascribed
Here's another clip from my upcoming conversation with Farah Bala of Farsight Agency.
In thinking about how race plays out in America, whether you're born here or have immigrated young, at some point there comes the "aha💡" moment when you realize one of these things is not like the other.
As Farah put it for her, it was the moment race was ascribed to her.
One life lesson most African-Americans of a certain age have always been taught = No matter the space, position, accomplishments, or accolades, if moving in white spaces, never forget - You'll always be seen as Black before anything else. And depending on the biases in that space, your accomplishments and failures will always be viewed in that light.

Implementing and sustaining inclusive practices can be difficult. Farah explains why starting this process with your organization's leadership is so crucial.

How Bad
So how bad are prisons? I mean, they're all criminals anyway? Well, did you know the US prison system was built on torture?
ICYMI: In our latest episode, sociologist and professor Brittany Friedman dives deep into this dark history and its lasting impact on our society in this episode.
We can't just "sprinkle fertilizer" on a rotten system. We must uproot the harmful ideas about punishment and reimagine how we treat each other.
Join us for an important and impactful conversation.

🎧✨Happy New Year and new Systemic episode 🎧✨
The latest episode of Systemic will drop tomorrow, Jan 4th.
This episode, sponsored by the Black Equity Coalition, discussed how COVID-19 ravaged prisons due to their punitive design not allowing for safety measures like masks. Shockingly, many were punished for homemade masks or "disappeared" into solitary confinement without care when showing symptoms - like Tiffany Mofield who died gasping alone in a shower.
Our guest is sociologist and professor Brittany Friedman from the University of Southern California, who champions reimagining a new prison system, not rooted in slavery and racism. Make sure you subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Throwback to a clip from the late Dr. Scott Richardson about Juneteenth and compassion.
Black history month is usually spent retelling the same stories and highlighting the same figures. And while it is important that we don't forget the struggles and sacrifices of the significant Black American heroes, have you ever wondered about the Black community and figures in your own backyard? Who were the local business owners and leaders, and what places hold significant value in your town's Black History?
In this episode, our host Dan Kimbrough and guest Glynis M. Johns, discuss what happens when someone seeks to answer those exact questions.
Glynis is the CEO and Founder of the Black Scranton project. Through her work and research, she's shedding light on the untold and often intentionally hidden story of Black Scranton and proudly saying, "We been here!"
You can follow Glynis's and the Black Scranton Projects work at https://www.blackscranton.org/.
In 1966 the New York Times wrote an article that first referred to Chinese-Americans as the Model Minority. It explained that during a time when billions were being proposed to uplift the Negro, Chinese-American immigrants were building successful lives all by themselves. With no help. This was set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement and was the beginning of labeling Asian Americans as the "Model Minority."
In the episode, we talk with Madalyn Metzger about the Model Minority Myth and its effects.
Madalyn serves as the VP of Marketing for Everence Financial. Madalyn also speaks about topics such as anti-racism and DEI. She also previously served as the Board Chair for On Earth Peace and is currently on the Board of Trustees for Manchester University
