No win situations
Drs. Shaunna and Lisa discuss how value is communicated and expressed whether through the theft of Jackie Robinson’s statue in Kansas City, the failure of the school day to adapt to changing times, or the tone policing Fani Willis’ experienced in defending her professional reputation.
Extremely Athletic
During this episode, we harken back to our podcast roots with an equal focus on DEI and sport. Check out Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa's latest thoughts at the intersection of both.
Planning Ahead
During this week's episode, Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna grapple with three phases addressing planning ahead and how we should encourage others to do the same. Listen in:
Hostile Humanity
This week the discussion returns to the sinister side of AI, DEI training efficacy, and we ask where the ethical line is for how states carry out executions given the recent use of a new method in Alabama.
Kinda Crowned?
Current events never slow down. Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna had no shortage of topics to cover this week. Their ten-minute-or-so dives in to each topic just skim the surface.
Today’s phases include the Crown Act in Texas, Oscar Nods or lack thereof, and Trans Panic - a legal defense that is used to justify the murder of trans people.
Bumper Cars
Bumper Cars. Today’s episode come to you from San Juan, Puerto Rico where Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa attended the ROI Millionaire’s Summit for women, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs. They share some key learning from their experience, as well as their key takeaways. Topics include networking, being good before doing good, and taking time to think.

Scorpion
In this week's podcast, Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna address some current events that have made recent headlines including law enforcement special units like the now disbanded Memphis Scorpion unit, the Iowa caucuses, and the Divine 9 and Founder's Days for historically Black Greek-lettered fraternities and sororities.
Who Gets to Rest?
In this week's episode, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa address various aspects of rest, who gets to take it, and why it should be conceived as an act of resistance.
But wait, there’s more! DEI in 2024.
In our first episode of 2024, we discuss what’s ahead for the year, how to be a critical consumer of the media and how the pursuit of balance in reporting gives credence to lies and objectively problematic positions, and we wrap with a discussion of Draymond Green and his NBA suspension.
Annoying DEI
For our last episode of 2023, we step into Swift vs Beyoncé, artificial intelligence, and what were the most annoying DEI trends of 2023. Pro tip: there were a lot of annoying DEI trends and occurrences in 2023, it was pretty hard to choose!
Shame on You
Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa take on the arson attempt on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's childhood home, the cruelty of feedback provided to older women celebrities and how one woman clapped back. We also explore what you can do if your white woman CEO or supervisor thinks they know it all when it comes to DEI and either intentionally or unintentionally derails a DEI process because they gate keep decisions and actions believing they are the only one who knows the "right" way to proceed.
(In)correct Identity Labels
This week, we answer a listener question on how to label images without knowing how someone identifies while also ensuring marketing includes a diverse representation of people. This leads us to a larger conversation about using the name of someone or something from a group to which you do not belong for your own profit. Lastly, we dive into travel privilege.
Equity in Business Practices
This week, all three phases call out equity in business practices. Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna are fired up about a few business practices that simply don't work for small, minority-owned, women-owned businesses. If you want to improve your protocols, policies, and procedures to make working with minoritized vendors easier, listen in.
