In this episode of Black Gems Dive In, Kua and Kendra tackle the latest headlines and hard truths impacting our communities. They begin with the sharp rise in unemployment among Black women—over 320,000 jobs lost since April under the new administration—before turning to the BBC’s report on U.S. immigration raids in Los Angeles, where lifted limits give ICE a green light for racial profiling. For the Deep Dive, they break down The Hill’s coverage of gerrymandering madness spreading to Missouri and what it means for democracy. As always, they close with their Gem of the Day to leave listeners with something real and reflective.
