In this episode of Everybody at the Table, I reflect on two competing headlines that define the fight for access in America: Harvard University’s decision to expand free online courses—even in the face of political pressure—and the Trump administration’s push to dismantle programs like Job Corps, student loan relief, and Medicaid.
These aren’t just policy moves—they’re signals of the values shaping our future. This episode is deeply personal, rooted in my own journey as a Black woman from the South Side of Chicago, and a call to action for all of us.
Whether you’re mentoring one person, building a business, or casting your vote—there’s something we can all do to ensure the door stays open for everybody.
Because if I’m free, and my neighbor isn’t—that’s not freedom. Not really.
Listen in.
