About this listen
We love celebrating Black excellence. And we should. The first Black CEO, the only Black partner, historic appointments - these matter. These are victories.
But somewhere along the way, something shifted. Black excellence stopped being about actual excellence and started being about performing a version of Blackness that makes the ruling class comfortable.
There's a version of Black excellence that's become popular in corporate America, in academia, in predominantly white institutions. And it's not real excellence. It's performance.
