Conversations across Black Education

Conversations across Black Education

In her final episode of the season, Lexi sat down with her friend Arielle to discuss the Black university experience. The two discussed homecoming, sororities, and HBCU culture in general, even making time for a segment on the declining standards in the U.S. education system — and somehow, law school too. As a love letter to those of us who are Black and educated — this one's for you. ✨

The People vs. The Algorithm

In this episode, Lexi gets into the shady world of AI hiring bots — and the lawsuit trying to hold them accountable. She covers Mobley v. Workday, where an applicant says an AI screening tool rejected him based on race, disability, and age (sometimes within minutes of applying). Then she breaks down the research backing it up: real data showing racial bias in AI hiring, plus a wild new finding that one biased algorithm can get you rejected everywhere you apply. Lexi talks about how digging into this research was a total "ah-ha" moment for her — realising just how invisible this bias really is. If you've ever wondered what actually happens after you hit "submit," this one's for you.

The Global State of Pride

In this episode, Lexi reflects on the global state of Pride — touching on the regression of rights for LGBTQ+ folks, breaking down key legislation, and dissecting its repercussions. A sombre note to close out Pride Month, but the reality is, it's not sunshine and rainbows everywhere.

The Dressing Down: Conversations on Queerness

In this episode, Lexi is joined by Inès to unpack coming out, finding the right labels, and how fashion doesn't dictate to the world, who they are. They discuss the intersection of Black identity and queerness, and flip the narrative on religion—proving that the house of God can be a place of healing, even for those once told they didn't belong. Tune in for a powerful conversation on identity, faith, and showing up as your full self.

Black Girl's Guide to being Queer + African

To continue our Pride Month Series, I am joined by my Bestie to talk about our shared experience of being Queer, Black and African in this year of 2026. We touched upon, failed "coming-outs", family members in denial, bi-erasure, the transition from hetero to homo relationships and even on how Non-Western country's proximity to the "West" has led them to be more "inclusive". Tune in for non-solicited advice on how to Survive. 🏳️‍🌈
