In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Poems featured in the episode:
GREEN AFRICA

Horst Wolff

Africa, you catch our eyes

Waking in your sudden bloom

Of giant flowers, rainbow coloured

Generous with limb and life,

You are eternal in your trees

Which crowd, luxuriate and rot;

Returning to return.

Your white-crowned mountain call us up

Your slopes of promise where as eagles

We look down your spread of green

and the metal bodies of your rivers

Bright with points of splintered light.

Dreaming you, where’er I go

I see Ancestors by their fires

Forming worlds from tales and fables.
THE SEA EATS OUR LANDS
Kwesi Brew

Here stood our ancestral home:

The crumbling wall marks the spot.

Here a sheep was led to slaughter

To appease the gods and atone

For faults which our destiny

Has blossomed into crimes.

There my cursed father once stood

And shouted at us, his children.

To come back from our play

To our evening meal and sleep.

The clouds are thickening in the red sky

And night had charmed

A black power into the pounding waves.

Here once lay Keta.

Now her golden girls

Erode into the arms

Of strange towns.

Come as you are: Analysis paralysis and Perfectionism 1:21

منذ عام واحد1:21

1:21

Reach out to us! Hello lovely listener. Happy New Year; I’ve been meaning to get back to you but I must get something off my chest. I really enjoy making these episodes and I am especially encouraged by your interactions with them, but I‘ve been finding myself in something of a prolonged freeze response; especially in the past months where I struggle to write, record and produce as I used to. Seeing that this podcast is relatively young I didn't think the issues I have with perfectionism would rise to the surface so soon but my need for “Shadow work” as it were has finally come to my attention. This isn’t to say that I won’t be uploading any episodes but I thought it important to say something especially since we’re in the middle of a couple of series’. I also think of this as a way of loosening the self-imposed reins regarding what makes a good episode or podcast in general. As always, thank you for listening and you’ll hear from me very soon.…

Book Review: I Made A Place For You by Damian White 22:28

Reach out to us! Hello lovely Listener, my name is Lindsay and you’re listening to 2cents podcast Your Audible Anthology. All the poetry books I’ve reviewed so far were by authors in the mainstream. My commentary was merely a drop in an ocean of reviews and I’d echo similar sentiments found in comments typed off the cuff on Amazon or GoodReads. This episode I am delighted to delve into a collection of poetry by Damian White titled: I Made A Place For You. We will explore how he unpacks his story featuring some recitals from him as well as an appreciation of the collections art and how the written and illustrated elements harmonise to give us an immersive experience of Damian’s narrative.
