  • Malcolm-Jamal Warner on his provocative podcast 'Not All Hood'

    Malcolm-Jamal Warner on his provocative podcast 'Not All Hood'
    Jul 21 2024
    On “Here and Now,” Sandra Bookman sits down with Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Candace Kelley co-hosts of “Not All Hood.” The podcast takes a provocative look at the vastly different lived experiences and identities of Blacks in America. It serves as an extension of the Black pride themes explored on Warner's 2022 Grammy-nominated album "Hiding In Plain View." The nuances are explored through conversations and guests who share their journeys and versions of Black confirmation about topics including Black masculinity, love and media representation, infused with pop culture, music, and headline news. Warner is best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on “The Cosby Show,” but has also been featured in a recurring role on ABC’s “9-1-1” series, as a guest star in the final season of “Grown-ish,” starred on six seasons of FOX’s hit show “The Resident,” the UPN sitcom “Malcolm & Eddie,” BET’s “Reed Between the Lines,” the recent anthology series “Accused,” and the reboot of “The Wonder Years.” Kelley is known for her work and guest commenting on the Black News Channel, Court TV, PBS, and Comcast. She’s also a host and commentator for "Roland Martin Unfiltered." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • FDNY launches campaign to increase diversity among New York's Bravest

    FDNY launches campaign to increase diversity among New York's Bravest
    Jun 23 2024
    On this episode of Here and Now, we discuss efforts to boost diversity among New York's Bravest. The FDNY has long struggled to increase diversity among its ranks. Right now, less than 25 percent of New York City firefighters are Black, Latino or Asian, according to the New York City Council. Only about 1 percent of firefighters are women. The department's new recruitment campaign, "All Heroes Welcome" is aimed at addressing this issue. FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh joins the program to discuss the departments new campaign. Plus, learn about the new film chronicling the life of FDNY's first Black commissioner, Robert O. Lowery. His daughter joins the show to discusses her father's legacy. We also look at "The Fresh Air Fund," which introduces city kids to summer beyond the five boroughs. The non-profit has impacted the lives of almost two million children from underserved communities--making good on the promise in its motto "a summer can last a lifetime." Also ahead: backpacks with a back story in promoting social justice. We speak with the designer and founder of the B. Brave Company. And from the streets of New York City to center stage in Paris, break dancing will make its official debut at the Summer 2024 Olympics. Here and Now introduces you to original members of New York City Breakers, Tony "Mr. Wave" Wesley. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
