Conversations With Carole

From LGBTQIA to she/her/hers, the language, descriptions, and ideological frameworks are ever-evolving. Gender identity is separate from gender expression. And these categories are also separate from sexual orientation. I self-identify as a cisgender woman whose sexual orientation affirms my attraction to men. What does all this mean?  And how do you use the word "they" when referencing a single person??

It's Pride Month, June 2024, and we will deep dive into the LGBTQ community to understand how Religion, Resistance, and Relationships have defined the strength and resilience of this group despite the attacks aimed a...

Here’s Carole’s Biographical Profile

I'm a lifetime member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and have always been proud of its history. The AME Church is the oldest or one of the oldest Black denominations in the United States, with its 1787 roots nestled in Philadelphia as the nation formed its beginning. Richard Allen, the first elected and consecrated Bishop of the AME Church, was the visionary founder of this denomination. Allen's global insight and insistence on the denomination keeping its Methodist roots have been the foundation of the growth and expansion of this organization.

Steeped in history going back to the early 1900s, nine Black fraternities and sororities have paved the way to economic progress, educational aptitude, and social relevance throughout Black communities across the United States. They are a part of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, founded in 1930, and it remains a vibrant organization in our nation to this day.

As we end our salute to Women's History Month, there are big shoes to fill when the conversation turns to two great Americans. One was a national icon who sat at the table with the great civil rights leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The other was a local/regional hero, the first African-American hired as a news reporter for WBZ TV here in Boston. Regardless of their popularity on the national stage, their effectiveness is far-reaching and has had social and economic implications for many years.

Dr. Dorothy Height was a trailblazing pioneer...

Critical Race Theory CRT has become a political football tossed around the United States so much that the original concept is unrecognizable to those who originated it in the 1970s. It is a legal framework that examines the complexities of racial discrimination, and it is connected to power, gender, and other societal categories. Contrary to popular opinion, CRT has never been taught in elementary schools, let alone other secondary classrooms. This podcast is designed to separate fact from fiction so that you will be a more informed listener as you share this podcast with others. Definitely discuss it so...
