  • Summary

  • Welcome to the premiere episode of Slingshot The Podcast — where the misunderstood voice becomes the culture’s power.

    Hosted by Kadida Kenner (CEO of New Pennsylvania Project) and Charles Gregory (We Talk Weekly), this bold first episode dives headfirst into a conversation many are afraid to have: What’s the problem with DEI?

    🎯 Titled “Damn, I Don’t Want DEI in the Title,” the hosts confront how diversity, equity, inclusion—and access—have been politicized, misrepresented, and misunderstood. But they don’t stop there. Through storytelling, humor, and cultural commentary, they uplift powerful examples of Black excellence in sports that challenge stereotypes and demand visibility.

    What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
    ✔️ Jackie Robinson’s legacy and why DEI is not a dirty word
    ✔️ Celebrating Black girls’ volleyball success at Overbrook High
    ✔️ Black ice hockey history and the untold legacy of Willie O’Ree
    ✔️ Howard University’s swim team breaking barriers
    ✔️ Kendrick Lamar’s record-breaking halftime performance as cultural disruption

    This episode sets the tone for a podcast that’s more than talk—it’s a cultural movement.
