Black Woman’s Renaissance A podcast about women of color who are stepping outside the bounds of the American caste system we were relegated to. Today in every genre a record number of black women are accomplishing tasks that were believed impossible for us in spite of walls built to keep us out. Welcome family to Black Women’s Renaissance. I am your host, Dr. Violet T. Adams, Educator, speaker, writer, artist, all things woman, and creator of Black Woman’s Renaissance. Today’s co-host is educator, author, publisher, and Editor-In-Chief of Vision & Purpose Life Style Magazine, Dr. Sharon H. Porter. Introduce yourself Dr. Sharon Thank you Dr. Adams. I am a lifelong educator (almost 30 years). I am currently an elementary school principal in the Washington DC metropolitan area. I am CEO Perfect Time SHP book publishing and owner and Editor-in Chief of Vision & Purpose Life Style Magazine, which is a bi monthly print and digital publication Today Black Woman Renaissance will honor Ms. Ashley M. Jones, Alabama's new poet laureate. She became the first person of color and at 31 years old is the youngest poet ever appointed to the role. (Bio) Her prestigious award was announced Friday September 10, at the Magic City Poetry Festival of which Ashley was the founder. According to the release, Jones received the commendation during a Sunday meeting that was part of the Alabama Writers Cooperative’s yearly conference. Being the brainchild of Jones, Magic City Poetry Festival debuted on Thursday, April 5, 2018 at the Naked Art Gallery in Birmingham, Alabama. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the last 2 festivals were held on zoom with the most recent one being held on April 3 of 2021. The Magic City Poetry Festival offers local poets, writers, and readers a venue for iconic expression. At the tender age of four, this visionary dreamed of being a state poet laureate, a U.S. poet laureate, and a Nobel laureate. She began preparing for these goals at Epic Elementary School of Birmingham, Alabama where she chose a poem about Harriet Tubman to recite for her second grade assignment. This experience identified her life’s purpose as she began writing poetry. With Her first goal being realized, an Alabama’s state poet laureate, Ashley is required to serve as “the ambassador of poetry for the state,” Her activities include touring the state “to make appearances at schools, universities, libraries and other state institutions, as well as give lectures, read poetry and hold workshops on a local and national level.” Now that she is selected, as a poet laureate she will be officially confirmed by the governor for a four-year term. In the statement released by the festival, Ashley mused, “I’m so honored to serve my home state as an ambassador, advocate, and as a lover of poetry and all the people who write it, read it, and find new magic from it in this life. I have dedicated my life so far to making poetry accessible to all, to celebrating everyone’s voice, and working to eliminate gatekeeping in our industry. I’m so excited to spend the next four years helping to make Alabama poets and poetry radiate here at home and beyond.” In addition to being the founder of the Magic City Poetry Festival she is a member of the Alabama Writers Cooperative, the Alabama Writers Forum and PEN Birmingham She serves as a member of the creative writing faculty at the Alabama School of Fine Arts and is a core faculty at the Converse College. These are the reasons why we honor Alabama’s first Black Poet laureate, Ms. Ashley M. Jones, Our Black Woman of Renaissance. KEEPING IT REAL: Jones is honored, but says she has a long-standing love-hate relationship with Alabama and her hometown of Birmingham. Can you relate Sharon? Yes, I really can. I was born and raised in North Carolina. My love is deep for my home state, but there are certain events and actions that often have me questioning the intent. Things such as North C…

In the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, on August, 6, 2021, Felix concluded her illustrious 17 year Olympic career by acquiring her 11th Olympic medal, after winning gold in the women's 4 × 400 meters final, overtaking the 10 medals of track phenom Carl Lewis. Additionally, The 35-year-old, the oldest American female track and field athlete to win a gold medal. In a New York Times op-ed, she accused Nike, her longtime sponsor and a kingmaker in her sport, of penalizing her and other pregnant athletes in contract negotiations. The move was fraught. Felix risked losing her primary source of income and could have been blacklisted from major meets. Felix soon left Nike and signed with Athleta, becoming the women-focused apparel brand’s first athlete sponsor, paving the way for Simone Biles to make a similar move to Athleta in April. On June 23, Felix announced the founding of her own footwear and apparel brand, Saysh. Far from following corporate expectations, Felix is now taking full agency over her career—and legacy. Earlier this year, Bianca Williams, a Nike-sponsored sprinter from Britain who had a baby in March 2020, reached out to Felix. After Felix called out the sportswear giant, Nike expanded payment protections for pregnant women and new mothers. The takeaways You write your own story. It’s not over until you give up. Never Give up! Be an advocate for yourself and other women in your circle. Research Ob-Gyns who are sensitive to the health needs of black women. Open your own doors. When they say no, create your own yes. This is why World Champion Sprinter Allyson Felix is our Black Woman of Renaissance of the week. In June 2018, Allyson told Wes she was pregnant. Fearing that Nike could rescind the offer if it found she was starting a family, Allyson and Wes decided to hide her pregnancy. Olympic runner Kara Goucher left Nike in 2014, and has said the company stopped paying her when she got pregnant with her son in 2010. Another former Nike runner, Alysia Montaño, claimed the company also told her it would stop paying her when she was pregnant. She is an active voice for women, and especially for mothers who too often hear what she heard when she got pregnant with her now 2-year-old daughter, Cammy: That once women start having babies, their best athletic days are behind them. During pregnancy, Felix developed preeclampsia, a condition marked by high blood pressure and adverse childbirth outcomes that is more prevalent in African-American women, which contributed to Camryn’s dangerous early birth. Though everyone ended up fine, America’s vast racial disparities in maternal mortality could well have pointed to a different outcome: a CDC study published in 2019 found that a Black woman with at least a college degree was 5.2 times more likely to die in pregnancy or childbirth than her white counterpart. That year, Felix felt compelled to testify before Congress on the topic. “We need to provide women of color with more support during their pregnancies,” Felix told the House Ways and Means Committee. “Research shows that racial bias in our maternal health care system includes things like providers spending less time with Black mothers, underestimating the pain of their Black patients, ignoring symptoms and dismissing complaints.” The takeaways 1. You write your own story. It’s not over until you give up. Never Give up! 2. Be an advocate for yourself and other women in your circle. Research Ob-Gyns who are sensitive to the health needs of black women. 3. Open your own doors. When they say no, create your own yes.…

Did you know a SISTA lead the team who created the Moderna, Covid Vaccine? Yessss! Do you still think it was created to hurt Black people? Today we are honoring to accomplishments of Dr. Kizzmekia " Kizzy " Shanta Corbett. At 35 years old she is a leading American viral immunologist . Dr. Corbett is an Assistant Professor at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute and assistant professor of immunology and+ infectious diseases at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health . Dr. Corbett started working on a vaccine to protect people from coronavirus disease.[3] Recognizing that the virus was similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Corbett's team partnered with Moderna, to create their vaccine, Corbett’s work has earned praise from luminaries in medicine and government alike, from Dr. Anthony Fauci, and president of the National Medical Association Oliver Brooks, to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. As a young, Black female scientist, Corbett has used her national platform to address lingering vaccine hesitancy, or as she calls it, “vaccine inquisitiveness,” in the Black community and reassure skeptics of its safety and efficacy by speaking virtually at churches and other community organizations. She hopes to continue these community outreach efforts in Boston. A native of North Carolina, Corbett, 35, spent six years as a research fellow and the scientific lead for the Coronavirus Vaccines Team at the Vaccine Research Center’s Viral Pathogenesis Laboratory. In 2008, she received a BS in biological sciences, with a secondary major in sociology, from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where she was a Robert and Jane Meyerhoff and NIH undergraduate scholar. She obtained her PhD in microbiology and immunology from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014. This is why Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett is our Black Woman of Renaissance of the week. KEEPING IT REAL! Black Folk are still scared of the shot! The CDC reports demographic characteristics, including race/ethnicity, of people receiving COVID-19 vaccinations at the national level. As of July 19, 2021, CDC reported that nearly two thirds of people who received at least one shot were White (59%), 9% were Black, 16% were Hispanic, 6% were Asian, 1% were American Indian or Alaska Native, and <1% were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, while 8% reported multiple or other race. However, CDC data also show that recent vaccinations are reaching larger shares of Hispanic, Asian, and Black populations compared to overall vaccinations. Thirty percent of vaccines administered in the past 14 days have gone to Hispanic people, 6% to Asian people, and 14% to Black people (Figure 1). These recent patterns suggest a narrowing of racial gaps in vaccinations at the national level, particularly for Hispanic and Black people, who account for a larger share of recent vaccinations compared to their share of the total population (30% vs. 17% and 13% vs. 12%, respectively). While these data provide helpful insights at a national level, to date, CDC is not publicly reporting state-level data on the racial/ethnic composition of people vaccinated. Notably, Blacks have received a lower percentage of their share of the vaccination compared to their share of Covid cases and deaths in every state. For example in Georgia 26%26% vacination 35%35% deaths 32%32% population…

Today’s show will celebrate the accomplishments and discuss the challenges of 14-year-old Zaila Avant-garde, winner of the 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee. Zalia made history on July 8th, 2021, as the first African-American to be the recognized winner of this prestigious award. Over 230,000 people watch the competitive and highly coveted spelling bee live on ESPN2. As a native of Harvey, La., Avant-garde just entered the world of competitive spelling two years ago. Unbelievably, that short period of time prepared her to win and take home $50,000 for correctly spelling murraya (mu-ree-ya), a type of tropical tree. In this episode we explore why Zaila is our first African American Spelling Bee Winner. And, the fact that the absence of faces that look like hers in the world of competitive spelling isn’t because Black kids don’t want to spell. It takes resources to be competitive, and in a country where the median household incomes for Black and Hispanic families is tens of thousands of dollars lower than those for Asian and white families, some kids are at a disadvantage. Simply, Scribbs Spelling Bee is accessible to those in a certain class. Also, we examine in Keeping it Real, the hidden stories that Zaila wasn’t the first Black to win the spelling bee. Tune in to here a lively discussion on these topics.…

Today’s show will celebrate the accomplishments and discuss the challenges of professional tennis player Naomi Osaka. Twenty three year old Naomi has been ranked No. 1 by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) having won 7 titles and is the first Black and Asian player to hold the top ranking in singles. She is a four-time Grand Slam singles champion, and is the reigning champion at the US Open and the Australian Open. Notable, At the 2018 US Open and the 2019 Australian Open, Osaka won her first two Grand Slam singles titles in back-to-back Grand Slam tournaments, and is the first player to achieve this feat since Jennifer Capriati in 2001. She also became the first woman to win successive Grand Slam singles titles since Serena Williams in 2015. This is why we celebrate Sista Naomi Osaka as the Black Renaissance Woman of the week. KEEPING IT REAL! Naomi subsequently withdrew from the French Open as she stated, "I stand by that. Athletes are humans. Tennis is our privileged profession, and of course there are commitments off the court that coincide. But I can’t imagine another profession where a consistent attendance record (I have missed one press conference in my seven years on tour) would be so harshly scrutinized. Do we expect athletes to be on point ALL OF THE TIME?…
Sha'Carri Richardson born on March 25, 2000 is an American track and field sprinter who competes in the 100 meters and 200 meters. Richardson rose to fame in 2019 as a freshman at Louisiana State University, running 10.75 seconds to break the 100 meter record at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championships. This winning time made her one of the ten fastest women in history at 19 years of age. On July 1, it was reported that Richardson had tested positive for THC (the main psychoactive component found in cannabis ) following the 100 m final at the U.S. Trials, invalidating her results and making her ineligible to compete in the 100 meter race at the Olympics. After successfully completing a counseling program, she accepted a one-month period of ineligibility that began on June 28, 2021 thus disqualifying her from the 100 meters race. Since the 30-day suspension ends July 27, 2021, she could have been eligible for the Women's 4 × 100 relay scheduled for August 5, 2021. However, she was not selected, thereby missing the Olympics entirely. KEEPING IT REAL- the Debate Is the rule fair, should athletes be tested for marijuana use? Marijuana is banned in competition — but not out of competition — under the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code. For a positive test at a competition, if an athlete establishes that it was ingested out of competition and unrelated to sport performance, the ban is three months. In that case, the ban can be reduced further to one month if the athlete completes a substance of abuse treatment program CO-HOST Bonnecia Williams says the rule is unfair Sha'Carre has diverse support who believes she is being treated unfairly NBA player Ricky Williams, Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, National Women's Soccer League Sydney Leroux, Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson, HOST Violet Adams say the rule is fair, President Biden, Uncle Jo,e states, “Rules are Rules”. I know that this country has passed laws to maintain the power hierarchy and caste system as discussed in our last show. But I agree My question is who gave her the weed? Back in the day certain people were left off limits 2nd. If the rule was banned, then where is the limit? Will athletes be allowed to toke on the podium after a win? 3rd. Athletes value their bodies as their temples. They monitor what they eat, what they drink and everything that enters their bodies and minds for that matter. Won’t this change when no limitations are set? Today it’s weed, tomorrow what? Join us for details about what formed our perspective and what this all means for you.…
