Drawing from her recent writing, Dr. Gassam Asare connects today’s challenges to a long history of resistance that follows progress, and offers insights on how we can build workplaces and communities where Black women and other marginalized groups can thrive. Lastly, she shares her gem of the day and insights on her new book; "Rise and Resist" How to Reclaim Workplace Equity and Justice".

   Jobs, Justice, and Gerrymandering: The Cost of Power

   In this episode of Black Gems Dive In, Kua and Kendra tackle the latest headlines and hard truths impacting our communities. They begin with the sharp rise in unemployment among Black women—over 320,000 jobs lost since April under the new administration—before turning to the BBC’s report on U.S. immigration raids in Los Angeles, where lifted limits give ICE a green light for racial profiling. For the Deep Dive, they break down The Hill’s coverage of gerrymandering madness spreading to Missouri and what it means for democracy. As always, they close with their Gem of the Day to leave listeners with something real and reflective.
