  • Where was this years ago

    I’m one of the few Black men at my job. I have to navigate this expertly every day. I’ve seen this take down many a person of color.

  • I needed this

    As a Black man working in a predominantly white space, I needed this. Robert and John King spoke directly to my experience. It’s hard dealing with micro-aggressions and hearing I am not alone gives me hope.

  • A safe space for black professionals

    This podcast hits on so many poignant topics that black professionals face in the workplace today. I loved the first episode with the former Secretary of the Dept. of Education. I look forward to hearing more from those who’ve paved the way and those who are currently charting their path. A must listen!!!

  • A Must Listen!

    This is an amazing podcast! The host is incredibly smart. The issues are serious, and yet care and humor come through, too. His vulnerability invites guests and listeners to think deeply. Powerful stuff! Radically improving the work experience of Black people is everyone’s job, and white people like myself have significant responsibility here, so I hope everyone listens. Looking forward to the next episode!

  • Episode 1: Guest -John B King Jr

    Wow!!! What a way to set the bar for a podcast!

    Host Robert Terrell Stephens and former Secretary of Education John B King Jr truly explored the intergenerational impact that micro-agressions have in corporate and educational settings.

    This is a necessary and pervasive discussion about how to establish initiatives that create havens against erasure of identities while equipping students with resources for them to subbed.
