The audience will gain awareness of legalized hate and ways to change such a legacy.

In her book The Place We Make: Breaking the Legacy of Legalized Hate, Sarah L. Sanderson tells two stories. The first is the story of Jacob Vanderpool, the only person to be legally exiled from the Oregon Territory for being Black in a state that prohibited Black residents for over 75 years. The second story Sarah tells is of discovering that her own White family members participated in exiling Vanderpool, which prompted her to go on a journey of discovering and dismantling her own internalized racism. 

Join Rev. Dr. TLC as she talks with Sarah about what she learned and how she’s sharing her story with others.

EPISODE SUMMARY: 

The audience will gain awareness of what first generation college students bring to the table.

Being a first-generation student is a deeply intersectional identity as it takes into account issues of race, class, gender, immigrant status, and sexual orientation.  Most importantly, it brings to the forefront issues of social capital. Often the assumption is that first-gen students lack social capital (inside knowledge that increases success), resulting in underperformance in higher education. There, however, is emerging research on asset-based approaches to serving first gen students that is moving the conversation from what they lack to to the unique forms of knowledge that they bring to the table. 

Join Rev. Dr. TLC and her returning guest, Truth Hunter, as they bring to the forefront an empowering narrative for first-generation students. Truth will draw from over 15 years of experience with and advocating for  first-gen students in California, New York, and Connecticut.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Listeners will open up to new ways of understanding and healing the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

"The Wall Between is a book about the wall that exists between Jewish and Palestinian communities in the Diaspora. Distrust, enmity, and hate are common currencies. They manifest at university campuses, schools and school boards, at political events, on

social media, and in academic circles. For Jews, Israel must exist; for Palestinians, the historic injustice being committed since 1948 must be reversed. Neither wants to know why the Other cannot budge on these issues. The wall is up."

Join Rev. Dr. TLC and her guests, Raja Khouri and Jeffrey Wilkinson, authors of "The Walls Between Us: What Jews and Palestinians Don't Want to Know About Each Other" as they discuss justice and "new possibilities within the Israel-Palestine discourse in the West."

The audience will hear how racism impacts mental health.

Racism is a public health crisis that impacts each of us on every level of life - education, medical, relationships, politics, communities, personal (how we see ourselves), judicial, the church, mental health, criminal justice, LGBTQ, academia, etc. We all have a lifelong journey to help each other and ourselves to be free without fear. We can no longer be content to walk through our lives, hoping we make it without impacting others for freedom. We must be intentional in encouraging one another to do better until we are all free the breach is repaired, and the restoration is complete.

Join Rev. Dr. TLC and her guest, Reverend Renee Rouse as they discuss the multilayered impact of racism, particularly as it relates to mental health, on people of color.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

The audience will hear how navigating whiteness may impact one's sense of self.

Navigating whiteness and white culture is common for people of color. Often it is necessary to preserve one's life and livelihood. Many BIPOC have had to make the difficult decision to move out of neighborhoods that are populated with people of color to white neighborhoods in order to set their children up for success. The educational, economical, and medical privileges in these neighborhoods outweigh those in BIPOC communities. Indeed there are benefits to moving to these neighborhoods, but there is also a significant cost.

Join Rev. Dr. TLC as she sits down with Michael Grant, songwriter and music producer, as they discuss the impact of growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood. He will share how "he thought he was white" and what that did to his sense of self. Michael will also share  how he learned to embrace his heritage and create a foundation that honors who he is and that inspires adjudicated youth and black and brown youth to become involved in the music industry.

WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?

The audience will gain perspective on how to make a personal impact on dismantling racism.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Take a walk through your neighborhood. Explore your community. Look closely at what's happening in the world. What do you see? What do you notice about racial inequities? What is lacking within your racial group? What needs to change? Answering these questions is one way to begin the process of dismantling racism. We can not address a problem that we do not see. Making a personal impact in dismantling racism happens when we notice and act.

Join Rev. Dr. TLC. and her guest, Lakisha Coppedge, as they discuss the latter's work in her community. Lakisha, who is a professional diversity, equity, and inclusion expert, noticed the need for mental health support in the black and brown communities.

WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN? 

The audience will gain insight on the implications of access and opportunity, or lack thereof, to what some consider basic rights.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

President Lyndon B. Johnson said,  “Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.” Well… justice is not blind. Education is not unaware. Opportunity is not unconcerned. And yet, the Supreme Court recently ruled against affirmative action policies, perpetuating a system that limits access and opportunity for people of color.  

Join Rev. Dr. TLC and her returning guest, Erik Clemons who is President and CEO of ConnCAT, as they delve into the complexities, nuances, and mixed messages of dismantling racism. Racism can never be eradicated without looking, deeply and truthfully, at this country’s history and without reconciliation. Until there’s a recognition that its poisonous tentacles reach far beyond people of color, none of us can be free. Listen in and join the conversation!
