THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE Movie Review + 2026 Oscars Nominations | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 20
Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. prepare for a spiritual awakening in this week's review of THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE.

Ray and Tre'vell explore the quiet power of the biopic, but can't help wondering about who usually receives this specific type of soft, prestigious lighting. They ask the central question: What would it actually look like to give a Black...

Le critiche, in patria, si sprecano. All’estero, invece, Elizabeth è guardata con ammirazione, soprattutto da chi avverte ancora il fascino di una figura regale, per di più femminile.

This is Fertility
The Broken Brown Egg
Infertility and family building can be scary and isolating at times, especially when it seems like no one else around you are experiencing the same barriers to conception. Even as more people come forward to talk about their struggles, there is still a lack of race representation fueling these conversations. Regina Townsend is the voice behind The Broken Brown Egg; a blog, resource, and community surrounding her experiences with infertility as a black woman. Regina was frustrated with society's outdated health education scaring kids about teen pregnancy and overshadowing important topics like fibroids, endometriosis, and...

Join us for Part 2 of Regina Townsend - founder of The Broken Brown Egg - and Eloise's very honest and important conversation about Black women's reproductive health and fertility. Black women experience infertility at almost 2x the rate of our counterparts and yet we are least likely to seek treatment. In addition, many conditions that directly impact fertility, such as fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, and others disproportionately affect black women as well.

Episode 89: The Broken Brown Egg - Regina Townsend
Regina Townsend is the founder of The Broken Brown Egg, an awareness and service organization founded in the summer of 2009 to increase awareness of African American Infertility and Reproductive Health. As a black woman, Regina found a very quiet life in infertility. She believed that should change, so that no one else will have to feel like the lone wolf of their family. Infertility is lonely enough without feeling like a minority inside of a minority. Regina’s infertility was due to PCOS, Hypothyroidism, blocked fallopian tubes, and Type 2 diabetes. She and her husband dabbled with pill abuse (Clomid), lied to...

SE1: Ep13 - Royal watchers: chi sono i giornalisti che seguono la famiglia reale - parte prima
I royal watchers sono giornalisti molto particolari. Al contrario dei colleghi non sempre possono contare su interviste dirette. Osservano, commentano, si basano su fonti vicine ai reali. Come quando un cronista della BBC notò Margaret d'Inghilterra togliere una piuma dalla giacca di Peter Townsend e rivelò la storia clandestina della sorella della regina Elisabetta. Ospite della puntata è la scrittrice e royal watcher Federica Brunini, autrice del libro "La vita di Kate Middleton come me l'ha raccontata lei" (Sonzogno). Learn more about your ad choices.

Primary Turnout, Organizing Your Life. Leadership at Home
Presidential Primary Turnout (16:45) Dr. Lonna Atkeson is a Professor in the political science department at the University of New Mexico. During this current presidential election, many articles have circulated on the perceived enthusiasm of the Republican party compared to the low turnout on the part of the democratic party. However, according to Dr. Lonna Atkeson, “Differences in turnout aren't necessarily the result of differing levels of enthusiasm. In fact, turnout in party primary contests are largely explained by a party's "position" in the electoral cycle.” Dr. Atkeson analyzed turnout in primary elections in each presidential election cycle since 2004, calculating voter turn...
