    Black Women in Academia: Purpose, Pressure, and Possibility
    2026/10/08
    There isn’t just one way to become a scholar—and Dr. Katrina Reed’s journey is proof. On this episode of The History of Being Black, Dr. Johnathan JeVon White welcomes Dr. Katrina Reed for a conversation about motherhood, faith, education, and finding your voice in academia. From childhood summers in rural South Carolina, where a bookmobile opened doors to new worlds, to pursuing higher education while working full time and raising two children, Dr. Reed shares the determination and support that helped her build her own path. Now an assistant professor at Penn State Abington, she introduces listeners to recreation, park, and tourism management—a field that shapes the experiences we share in community centers, parks, events, and beyond. She explains how her passion for youth development informs her research and her approach to teaching. Dr. Reed also speaks candidly about the pressures Black women face in academic spaces, including service obligations, promotion, classroom evaluations, and expectations about what they should research. Through it all, she remains committed to creating welcoming classrooms, empowering students, and protecting time for her family and herself. Her message to emerging scholars: stay curious, seek mentorship, trust your lived experience, and don’t wait until you know everything to begin. The conversation continues on The After Pod.

  • Black Leadership: The Making of A Leader

    Black Leadership: The Making of A Leader
    2026/10/01
    What makes a leader? For John Haynes III, the answer begins with faith, family, and the courage to change direction. Brother White sits down with his cousin, known as “Big Cuz,” to trace his journey from struggling through engineering at Hampton University to finding his calling in human resources and leadership coaching. John shares how his family shaped him, what his mother’s fight with cancer taught him about time and vulnerability, and why speaking up mattered when his authority was questioned at work. The conversation also explores the work leaders must do within themselves: understand their purpose, face difficult situations, adapt, and keep going after failure. John’s guiding idea is simple and powerful: become who you are called to be so you can help others become. Find more shows like this on the Mean Ole Lion app. Follow, rate, comment, and share.

    On this episode of The History of Being Black, Dr. Johnathan JeVon White sits down with media educator and Sankofa Cinema Club founder Bridget Smith for a conversation about Black storytelling, representation and the power of film to preserve the stories too often left out of traditional history. Bridget reflects on growing up in Brooklyn’s close-knit Bushwick community, where family, teachers and neighbors formed the village that shaped her worldview. She shares how television programs such as Like It Is and The McCreary Report, along with films including School Daze and Do the Right Thing, inspired her journey into media. The conversation explores the evolution of Black film, the opportunities created by digital platforms and why understanding the technical foundations of filmmaking is as important as having a powerful idea. Bridget also explains how storytelling begins with a blueprint—from storyboarding and character development to creating a clear beginning, conflict and resolution. Bridget then takes us inside the Sankofa Cinema Club, a virtual and in-person community created to uncover untold Black history through film and conversation. From the story behind Hoxie: The First Stand to learning about civil rights leader Dorothy Cotton and Jamaican freedom fighter Queen Nanny, the club brings filmmakers, descendants, scholars and audiences together to connect the past with the present. It is a powerful reminder that Black film is more than entertainment—it is education, cultural preservation and an essential part of our continuing struggle for freedom.
