Six Degrees of Segregation

46:55

The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

13 - Morgan D. Morris - Gymnastics is (not) Life 1:23:09

1:23:09

Welcome to a special summer episode of Six Degrees of Segregation. (And a special shout to Danny Rojas and Ted Lasso for this week's episode title.) Today, we're talking with national champion gymnast and six-time All-American, Morgan Dennis Morris. Essence.com names her as one of the 13 Black Women Who Changed the Face of Gymnastics ( https://www.essence.com/celebrity/13-black-women-who-changed-face-gymnastics/ ). So of course, we're talking 2020 Olympics, Simone Biles, mental health and the Twisties. We get into so much more than that as conversation shifts to the NCAA Name and Likeness ruling, raising kids to show up as their full selves, and finally to the 2022 launch of her kids' clothing line, Scribble. Morgan is a former elite-level athlete, entrepreneur, wife, mom of twins and recently welcomed baby #3. She and her husband Tim recently moved to Utah, where he serves as Assistant Men's Basketball Coach.

Latoya White, a Sales Manager from Richmond Texas, and I talk about George Floyd, the natural hair movement, diversity training, representation, colorism and so much more. Latoya's genetic makeup sparked her interest in biology and her pre-med focus in school. She’s a huge supporter for Diversity & Inclusion efforts and exercises them daily in her personal and professional life. At the end of the day, Toya is hopeful that we will get to a place of fair and equal treatment... not better than... just fair and equal.

08 - Gerald Cadogen - It's How You Play The Game 50:28

4 years назад50:28

50:28

Today my guest is Gerald Cadogan. Gerald was a HS football phenom from PM, OH who went on to letter and start at Penn State under Joe Paterno. In 2008, he was a candidate for college football's prestigious Draddy Trophy, presented annually to the nation's top college football student-athlete. During his senior season he was named a consensus first team All-Big Ten selection and was awarded the conference's Sportsmanship Award and named an Academic All-American for a second time. After much success in college including Orange, Rose, Outback and Alamo bowl appearances, he was invited to the NFL Scouting Combine where his split time in the 40 ranked him fifth among offensive linemen at the combine. This began his professional football career, where he was signed to the Cincinnati Bengals’, Carolina Panthers’, Indianapolis Colts’, Philadelphia Eagles’, and San Diego (now Los Angeles) Chargers’ practice squads before finishing his football career in the Canadian Football League with the Calgary Stampeders and the Toronto Argonauts, whom Cadogan won a Grey Cup with in 2012. Besides all these athletic accolades, Gerald is kind. He is generous. He is motivated to make a positive impact on the world. As such, coming full-circle, Gerald has returned to Portsmouth and is a teacher and coach in the halls he once walked as a student. He’s also very much involved in his community. “I wanted to come back to Portsmouth to make an impact on the community in a positive way,” Cadogan said. “That’s why I came back and have stayed. I want to empower the next generation to continue to grow this community in all facets.” Cadogan has also held a youth sports camp in Portsmouth, bringing his former college teammates as well as current NFL players to be guest coaches, as part of his involvement in the community. He feels that “It is important to stay involved and help other young people realize their potential and achieve their goals.” And instructs them “Take advantage of every opportunity to help someone else, because that someone in need one day could be you.” Advice we could all take… *** Have a question?

Tracing one's ancestry as a Black person in America can often be a short endeavor. But for Latise Hairston, she was able to go all the way back to West Africa. As a member of one of the largest families in America, the Hairston "property" ledger connected some dots and ancestry.com did the rest (#NotAnAd). From a Ghanaian name giving ceremony to family ties rooted in slavery, and a bout with COVID-19 to workplace and police discrimination, Latise covers it all in our hour together. *** Follow Latise on social.

Christina Wilson is an army veteran, mom, wife and currently works as a federal employee. We share a high school but not necessarily a high school experience. As classmates, teammates and friends, I didn't realize how vastly different our experiences were in the town we grew up in, or the classrooms we shared, until this conversation. Tina and I talk about what it's like to be part of a diverse family, in a less-than-diverse town. About raising children to love who they are. About education and the importance of knowing our full American history. And about why seeing color isn't bad – but how you see it could be. Have a question? Something you'd like to discuss?

Katie sits down with her husband, Ryan where they reflect on their relationship, parenting and the complexities that doing these things as an interracial couple can bring. **Waking up earlier this week to the news of yet another Black man killed by police in Minneapolis. While the Derek Chauvin trial continues. And a video of a member of active duty military is stopped at gunpoint in Virginia is released. I had wondered if waiting so long to finally publish would make the conversations less relevant. That they'd lose their power. That the impact would be lessened. But no.
