Avi Bernard speaks with Comedian Alycia Cooper about the Katt Williams/Shannon Sharpe interview from a comedian’s perspective.

A grand jury in Ohio is considering whether to indict a 34 year old woman who miscarried at home and disposed of the nonviable fetus. Areva is joined by two experts on Ohio abortion law: Jessie Hill, Professor of Law at Case Western University and Lawyer who litigates reproductive rights cases, and Morgan Harper, Attorney and former candidate for U.S. Senate in Ohio.

After weeks of scrutiny, Harvard University’s first ever Black, female President, Claudine Gay, has been forced out. Areva has a conversation about the unfair standards Black women face and the all-out assault on diversity from conservatives. Dr. Menah Pratt, Co-Editor of Journeys for Social Justice: Women of Color Presidents in Higher Education, and Dr. Leon Jackson, Founder and CEO of The Diversity in Leadership Program, join the show.

Georgia State Representative and Chair of the Black Legislative Caucus in Georgia, Carl Gillard speaks with Areva about redistricting in Georgia and the implications they’ll have on the 2024 elections. Plus, Professor of Practice at Harvard Law School, Alan Jenkins, talks about his comic series, “1/6: The Graphic Novel”, and constitutional issues surrounding Donald Trump’s candidacy.

Dominique DiPrima sits in for Areva Martin and has a conversation about concerns Black people have with the healthcare system, and Rudy Giuliani filing for Bankruptcy immediately after he was ordered to pay $148 million to two Black female election workers. Joining the conversation are Karina Dobarro, Executive Vice President, Managing Partner at Horizon Media, Miriam Browing-Nance, Vice President of Horizon Media’s WHY Group Center of Excellence, and Litigation Attorney, G. Edwin Rush.

Areva talks about how to fix the problem of inner city gun violence with two of the nation’s foremost experts on the subject: Thomas Abt, Author of “Bleeding Out” & Founding Director of the Center for the Study and Practice of Violence Prevention & Professor at the University of Maryland, and Dr. Matthew Valasik, Associate Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Alabama, and Co-Author of “Alt-Right Gangs: A Hazy Shade of White”.

Last week’s discussion with Dr. Julianne Malveaux and Judith Aidoo was so good, Areva had to invite them back to finish it up. The ladies get into it about the pressure Harvard President Claudine Gaye is facing to resign, and the obstacles black women face when they hold positions of power.

Rudy Giuliani was ordered to pay Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman $148 million for defaming them with his lies about their involvement in election fraud. Will he ever have to pay that money? David Slarskey, and Attorney with more than 15 years of experience in litigation, trial and arbitration, and Michael Imhotep, Historian, Researcher and Radio Host, join Areva to break down what’s next for the disgraced former New York City Mayor.

Avi Bernard and friends of the show, Dr. Shaun Fletcher and Danny Griffin, chop it up about the end of Ja Morant’s suspension, the beginning of Draymond Green’s suspension, and whether Stephen A. Smith was wrong for calling Zion “fat”.

The Supreme Court is busy, and that means we should probably be concerned. The extremely conservative Supreme Court weighs big decisions on voting rights, abortion access and the January 6th insurrection. Margalynne Armstrong, Associate Professor at Santa Clara School of Law, helps us understand the details.
