The Black Vantage Point

The Unchained Podcast: Break Away From Ordinary

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.

A vantage point is described as the best afforded way to get a view of something. It seems that everyone has their own vantage point about things that are not kin to them or things that they may be unfamiliar with. Opinions can be okay at times, but at other times they can be unnecessary. I want to share a few facts with you in this episode about what is happening this world from the BLACK POINT OF VIEW.

The Mirror 1:17:15

1:17:15

A true look into the mirror with a spiritual awareness will allow you to become more mindful of the emotions you are feeling as well as your mental state of mind and the true intentions that you have for the day. Your reflection also reveals the value that you bring to your own life which also reveals the value you bring to others. Which begs the question, What does your reflection reveal when you look beneath the surface? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchained/support…

This a beautiful collaboration with social media personality Imani Adrea as we discuss the birth of her "I am" concept. We connected on the topic of "I Am" at a motivational speakers semi-finals competition in Miami, FL. During a lunch break. Imani and myself along with several others had a very in depth in conversation that produced a ton of energy that inspired the entire table about the possibilities of the great things that can happen when you decide to embrace who you truly are. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchained/support…

Like Wheat 45:29

45:29

In biblical text, threshing wheat was a way to separate the good parts from the bad parts (remove the wheat from the chaff). In Luke's gospel, Jesus tells Simon (Peter) that Satan has asked to have him and sift him like wheat. Meaning, he wants to separate him from what's good in Him and what's good for him. But Jesus prayed for him, that his faith would not fail. Jesus is interceding on your behalf, Don't Give Up! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchained/support…

The Mercy Rule 34:17

God blesses us with opportunity everyday. The Bible describes these opportunities as mercy. The mercy that we receive is nothing short of a gift from God. What you do with your mercy reflects your gratitude for life. Are you taking advantage of fresh mercy today? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchained/support…

Dark Nights 53:02

There are some moments when we don't understand why things are happening. The load gets heavier and harder to carry, and the pressure can be crippling. In Job's case, the early account of his life was devastating. Despite losing his family, fortune, and health I can't help but to be motivated by his ability to believe God in the midst of his dark nights. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchained/support…

Nothing But The Blood 51:58

51:58

We must realize that we don't... and never had the power to save ourselves. Happiness and joy is fleeting without our Lord and Savior Jesus. You can drink, party, and club. Deny God, rely on your job, or your spouse if you choose. Serve other God's and worship your idols. At some point, you'll cave. At some point you'll run out of answers. I have tried everything under the sun. Only to realize... Nothing but the Blood of Jesus will save me! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchained/support…

The Drop 52:45

52:45

If you've ever dropped your child, there's an immediate panic. We check for physical damage, but we can never assess internal damage at that moment. We can't measure a child's anxiety at that moment. We can see tears, but we can't see an accelerated heart rate. So it is with you and I, no one can see where we've been dropped in our life. No one can measure our pain, anger, or unforgiveness as a result of us being dropped. However, we can examine ourselves. Are you willing to do that? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchained/support…

There will be a time when you feel unheard, unloved, and notoriously rejected. Invisible even. Although the circumstances appear to reveal abandonment and obscurity. God is allowing you the opportunity to strengthen your faith. Don't shift along with the distractions. Stay grounded and look beyond what you see. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchained/support…

In this episode I use an unlikely conversation between me and God to expose the importance of guarding your thought life. Do not be fooled that you're actually thinking because you're consciously aware of certain thoughts. It's the thoughts you don't hear that are shaping you're reality. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchained/support…

Jesus paints a picture in Luke's gospel about leaving the 99 sheep to find the lost one. If you spend time thinking about it, it's a true love story. His love isn't questionable but ours is.
