In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Send us a text Domestic violence isn't just a statistic—it’s a harsh reality that often escalates during the holiday season, affecting countless individuals and families. We explore this troubling phenomenon through the lens of Heather's extensive experience in domestic violence units. With her insights, we break down societal misconceptions, highlighting the frustration of victim-blaming and challenging stereotypes about who can fall victim to abuse. Our discussion calls for empathy and awareness, urging listeners to understand that domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of background. Through stories like that of William Wallace and Za'Zell Preston, we shine a light on the complexities victims face in abusive relationships, even with awareness and support systems in place. The tragic case of Za'Zell, who was training to be a domestic violence counselor, underscores the insidious nature of control and isolation that can trap victims. We share practical communication tools, such as the "asking for a friend" strategy, to help victims and supporters recognize abusive situations and provide support without direct confrontation, all while navigating the cycle of violence. As we examine the patterns of power and control, including economic abuse and male privilege, the conversation turns to the broader implications of these dynamics. We stress the critical importance of community support and resources, noting the elevated risks victims face during pregnancy or when planning to leave. Our aim is to arm listeners with knowledge and resources, such as www.thehotline.org, to support those in need. Join us in shedding light on this leading cause of harm to women and children in the U.S., and help us spread awareness to break the cycle of violence.

Eastern State's Dark Legacy of Isolation and Corruption 58:18

Send us a text Prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about prison reform. Eastern State Penitentiary, established in 1829, was a radical experiment in solitary confinement, driven by Quaker ideals of repentance and reflection. What began as a groundbreaking vision quickly unraveled into a cautionary tale of psychological trauma and systemic corruption. Listen as we navigate the labyrinth of this institution's history, revealing the stark contrast between its lofty goals and the grim reality that unfolded within its walls. Discover the architectural marvel and inherent dysfunction of Eastern State's wheel-spoke design, which isolated inmates to encourage penance but instead fostered abuse and corruption. Hear firsthand accounts of criticisms from prominent figures like Charles Dickens, and explore the ethical debates that surround solitary confinement. This narrative also sheds light on the broader social biases that pervaded the system, particularly against immigrants and people of color during the Industrial Revolution, which exacerbated the failures of Eastern State's reformative promises. As we journey through the turbulent 1920s, witness the descent of Eastern State Penitentiary into chaos, unable to cope with overcrowding, gang culture, and drug use. Reflect on the fruitless attempts at prisoner self-governance and militaristic control measures that only fueled rebellion. This episode serves as a stark reminder of the systemic failings that have persisted for over two centuries, underscoring the urgent need for a justice system that prioritizes mental health services and genuine rehabilitation over mere incarceration. www.deviantcriminology.com…
