📣 Black journalists are being pushed out, silenced, and erased—at the very moment when we need them most.

I sat down with journalist and truth-teller Errin Haines, editor-at-large at The 19th and candidate for president of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), to talk about the urgent state of our media ecosystem—and what leadership looks like when the press is under fire.

From the fading presence of Black anchors on primetime to frontline reporters being detained for doing their jobs, to a lack of public statements from NABJ when it matters most… the conversation pulls no punches.

Streams everywhere this afternoon.

đź’Ą Talk to Me Nice: The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace

We’re cracking the code on workplace trust.

Join me for a memorable moment as I welcome my friend and colleague Minda Harts, bestselling author of The Memo.

She’s back with a bold new book that reframes trust not as a vibe… but as a language. In fact, seven of them.

We’ll talk:
✅ How to rebuild trust when it’s broken
✅ Why we’ve been saying the wrong things at work
âś… What neuroscience and cultural intelligence have to do with leadership
✅ How we move forward in this post-DEI landscape—with real talk and practical tools

And yes—pop culture, storytelling, and Beyoncé all make cameos. Because of course they do.

📚 Talk to Me Nice drops July 22. Preorders matter—so let’s get behind this one.
🎬 And did I mention Minda’s now winning film festival awards too?

💬 RSVP and join the conversation. This one’s too timely to miss.
