What does real leadership look like when it’s not driven by power, ego, or attention?

This episode breaks down practical leadership lessons for everyday life — at home, at work, and in the community — and challenges the idea that leadership has to be loud to be effective.
If you’re looking for leadership rooted in purpose, integrity, and lasting impact, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I explore the deeper meaning of Hanukkah during a time of rising antisemitism. From attacks on Jewish communities to the story of the Maccabees, this conversation looks at faith, courage, and why choosing light still matters today.

In this powerful episode, you’ll confront the hard truth about why your values as a Black Democrat — equality, justice, LGBTQ+ rights, women’s autonomy, free speech, and religious freedom — are incompatible with strict Sharia law. You’ll see exactly how these two worldviews clash, with real-world examples of persecution and oppression in countries where radical interpretations of Islamic law still dominate.
You’ll also uncover the Arab-led Sub-Saharan slave trade — a brutal system that predates the transatlantic slave trade — and how it continues to impact African communities today. From the Zanj Rebellion to modern-day slavery in Mauritania and Libya, you’ll hear the untold history of centuries-long anti-Black racism in parts of the Middle East and North Africa.
And you’ll be challenged to reject selective outrage: If you’re quick to blame Israel for every injustice yet stay silent on slavery, massacres, and terror committed by radical Islamic regimes, you’re ignoring a massive part of the truth. If you believe in justice, you must believe in it everywhere, from your own community to the farthest corners of Africa.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why your values and strict Sharia law can’t coexist
The hidden history of the Arab-led Sub-Saharan slave trade
The ongoing reality of slavery in Mauritania and Libya
How anti-Black racism persists in parts of the Arab world
Why selective outrage undermines global justice movements

Am Yisrael is done waiting.
