    Episode 01: The Beat of the Racial Justice Movement: A Conversation with Three Black Male Leaders Feb 02, 2023
    Show notes

    *This episode opens with a statement from Race Forward Executive Vice President Eric Ward on the killing of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police officers

    It's a new season for Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast and we’re starting off in a big way with Race Forward President Glenn Harris, newly appointed Executive Vice President Eric Ward, and Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships Faron McLurkin.

    As three Black men, along with the other members of Race Forward’s Executive Leadership Team, leading in the movement to advance racial equity, Glenn, Eric, and Faron speak to the fierce backlash to centering racial justice, the importance of instilling racially-equitable policies and practices across all levels of government,, and the importance of defending past gains while forging new, bold moves in the fight against white supremacy and institutional racism.

    Our panel also finds more lighthearted moments to kick back and discuss their favorite music artists, the metaphors music can have for the racial justice work we do, and exploring futurism to create bold moves.

    In the coming year, we have exciting things planned for the future of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast as we bring you important conversations, in-depth racial justice analysis, and help build the future of the movement with our listeners and supporters –– together.

    Episode 04: Analyzing Asian-American Racism in Hollywood with Nancy Wang Yuen Mar 01, 2022
    Show notes

    In this episode of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, Nancy Wang Yuen, sociologist and expert on race and racism in Hollywood, joins Momentum Co-host Chevon for a conversation about the turmoils the Asian-American community experienced during and after the pandemic, the xenophobia she faces as a woman of color in academia, and the challenges she encounters while embracing her faith and being an activist.

    Nancy shares insights and analysis into the importance of Asian representation in media and the sudden shift we are seeing in that representation at this moment. She dissects the intersectionality of racism and sexism that women of color endure, specifically the stereotypes that are placed on Asian-American women. Nancy goes into the history of the onslaught brought onto the Asian community throughout the years and how the aftermath of these events still affects the community today.

    Hear more about the challenges Asian-Americans are facing during this time by tuning in to Episode 4 of Race Forward’s new podcast Reflections: Immigrant Rights Movement – a limited podcast series.

    Episode 03: Gauge Co-Founder Joshua DuBois On The Intersections of Tech, Faith, and Racial Justice! Dec 14, 2021
    Show notes

    In this episode of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, Gauge co-founder Joshua DuBois joins Chevon and Hiba for a conversation about his time as White House Executive Director of the Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, how Gauge is connecting community leaders and brands on their racial justice initiatives, and his ongoing work on racial justice causes such as the “Justice For Julius” campaign.

    Joshua explains the benefits of creating a system like Gauge to form partnerships with brands in order to help inform decisions based on inclusivity while also helping community leaders, content creators, and contractors be compensated for their knowledge. He provides his reflections on how the 2020 uprisings inspired these efforts and the important wins that have come to fruition as a result of these partnerships.

    In the opening Hiba and Chevon reflect on the heavy moment being felt in the aftermath of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict and the guilty verdict for Ahmaud Arbery’s killers. They speak on the recurring theme of self-care during times of high tension, and the importance of even detaching if necessary.

    We’ll continue the season in January – until then, our team wishes you a safe holiday season with your loved ones as we gear up for a new year in this racial justice work.

    Episode 02: Leaning Into The “Dave Chappelle/ Netflix” Controversy With Dr. John Paul Higgins Nov 05, 2021
    Show notes

    In the midst of the continued fallout from Dave Chapelle’s transphobic jokes from his Netflix comedy special, Hiba and our guest co-host Dennis are here to break it all down – and have the important conversation around narrative, free speech, and the link to potential hate speech/ actions.

    Social justice leader and media critic Dr. John Paul Higgs (they/them) joins us to talk about their article “Why Netflix Deserves Some of the Heat for Dave Chapelle’s Transphobic Comments.” Throughout the conversation Dr. Higgins touches on important topics such as the erasure of Black trans people, the damaging narratives and tropes that are still being leveled against trans, queer, and non-binary folk, and “real” accountability versus “cancel culture.”

    Update: Chevon will return from her sabbatical and will be on the next episode of Momentum –– a big thank you to Dennis for filling in!

    Reminder: Race Forward’s 40th Anniversary Celebration is taking place November 18th!

    Episode 01: Season Premiere: “It’s 12:01 For Our Racial Justice Movements” with Eric K. Ward Sep 20, 2021
    Show notes

    On the Season 3 premiere of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, Western States Center Executive Director and Race Forward Senior Fellow Eric Ward joins us to ground and center us, and you, our listeners, in our racial justice work!

    Update: Hiba is back from sabbatical, and now Chevon is taking her well-deserved time off, and in the meantime, Dennis is back to fill in!

    Hiba and Dennis open the episode with a short recap of recent happenings –– the Delta COVID-19 variant, Climate Change/flooding in NYC, the ongoing fight over critical race theory being taught in schools, and refugee resettlement efforts triggered by global events.

    Holding all this, Dennis and Eric have a conversation inspired by Grace Lee Boggs’ quote “what time is it in the clock of the world”, and what it means for the hurdles we are facing as racial justice practitioners.

    Eric also discusses the urgent work of racial equity, how work towards a multiracial democracy is the alternative to the spread of white nationalism, the case study of the city of Portland, and extremist backlash and insurgencies, and how we can use that backlash as fuel to carry us forward in our work to “12:02AM”.

    Episode 10: Season Finale: “How to Citizen” with Baratunde Thurston, and Recognizing TV/ Movies that have Centered Race May 06, 2021
    Show notes

    On the season finale, writer, comedian, podcaster, activist, and Emmy Award-nominated host Baratunde Thurston brings us to the home stretch while providing all the laughs!

    Baratunde joins Chevon and Dennis to talk about his early career having worked at the intersections of standup, tech, and activism as a Black man, and how those experiences have shaped his current work on the topics of race, technology, democracy, and climate. He also shares his insights on being a multifaceted creator, the balance of “bringing your whole self to the workplace” as a person of color, and his take on “weaponing discomfort” and “defining white supremacy” to expose the underlying layers of how it's been maintained. Check out the Resources below for information on how to keep up with Baratunde and his upcoming projects, including his podcast “How To Citizen with Baratunde” and the new six-part PBS series, “America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston”.

    Chevon and Dennis talk about shows that have centered race over the past year and give praise to the writers, producers, and organizations working to move the needle on representation. Among the many shows they mention are The Watchmen, Lovecraft Country, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

    Finally, two big announcements: Dennis has taken on a new position at Race Forward as our Vice President of Narrative, Arts, and Culture, and also we’ve opened registration for our #RaceAnd: Our Present, Our Future youth oriented event taking place on September 25th!

    Episode 09: “Understanding the Power of Inequality” with Dr. Manuel Pastor, Director of the USC Equity Research Institute Apr 27, 2021
    Show notes

    Producer’s Note* The following episode was recorded the week of April 14, and just earlier this week, we received the verdict of the Derek Chauvin trial. Race Forward has released a statement on our website titled “Derek Chauvin Found Guilty; But Our Work Is Not Done: Race Forward Calls For Urgency In Reimagining Public Safety That Values Black and Brown Lives”. The intro of this episode speaks to trauma informed healing which is relevant today, just as it was last week, and as the practice will continue to be.

    On this episode of Momentum, Chevon and Dennis interview distinguished professor, activist, and author, Dr. Manuel Pastor, Director of the USC Equity Research Institute about his experiences working in community building, academica, and racial justice work.

    Throughout the episode Dr. Pastor shares his personal motivations in working to address structural racism and inequality in the United States, the lessons that have been learned in working to ensure that California’s COVID recovery plans prioritize economic and racial equity, and his insights into lessons for modern day anti-racist practitioners, as well as what fuels his passion for public speaking. He also talks about his most recent book “State of Resistance: What California's Dizzying Descent And Remarkable Resurgence Mean For America's Future”.

    In the midst of an extremely difficult time with multiple incidences of police violence over the past few days/ weeks, Dennis and Chevon share resources that speak to trauma informed healing, and what they are each doing to take care of themselves during this time.

    We’ll be back soon with the season finale of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast –– until then, take care of yourselves, and each other.
