I’m excited to kick off the first interview of my second of Determine Our Future! Dr. Kimya Nuru Dennis is an activist, sociologist and criminologist, educator, and researcher. Dr. Dennis founded 365 Diversity, which provides results-based services for decision makers in K-12 schools, colleges and universities, businesses, and for-profit and non-profit organizations. On the 365 Diversity website, the training is described as getting outside of the organization’s comfort zone and challenging normalcy, power majorities, and decision makers. Today we will talk about these topics, as well as what police departments and health organizations have in common.
Kimya has a Ph.D. in Sociology from North Carolina State University has been faculty at multiple colleges and universities across the US. Kimya connects with schools, businesses, and organizations around the world and speaks extensively on these topics and others. Kimya and my pronouns are she/her/hers.
Let’s jump in!

Hi my wonderful DOF listeners! Welcome to Season 2; I’m so excited to get back into my podcast, and share and interact more with my listeners. I have exciting episodes coming up, including more interviews than in Season 1.
W.E.B. Du Bois was a sociologist, a historian, a Civil Rights activist, a prolific author, and more. His education, research and many writings influenced generations of Americans and helped to bring Civil Rights to the consciousness of many people. Du Bois’ ideas were different than some peers at the time, but no less important and thought-provoking.
I’m excited to kick off Season 2 of Determine Our Future by talking about the life of, and lessons from, this incredible historical figure. It is a big job. Let’s get started.

I hope that my podcast episodes have given my listeners as many proven facts as possible, and not my opinions without anything to back them up. But I will admit that my personal political leanings are pretty much Democrat, somewhat liberal. Sometimes I just can’t understand why some politicians say and believe the things that they do.
In this episode, I would like to highlight some members of the GOP (that means Good Ole Party) that are disagreeing with their establishment’s White supremacist views and the new radical direction the party has taken. In my opinion, the Republican Party has been hijacked by “he who shall not be named,” and most of the current, still loyal to him, members still don’t know what to do about it.
Trying to understand where the Republican party is headed? It’s a big job. Let’s get started.

In the modern English language, there are more than a million total words. There are about 170,000 words in current use, and 20,000-30,000 words used by each individual person. When I think of those facts, this episode talking about maybe 10-20 words in the English language and whether we should be using them, is a little funny. But I still think it’s important to talk about these words because, despite what we said on the playground when we were little, words can hurt us. Words can hold groups back, insult people with every use, and send messages we may not even mean to send. So let’s talk about these words I’ve chosen to discuss, and examine what they really mean and how people think of them. Determining what words really mean? It can be a big job. Let’s get started.
