The Diversity Dude Podcast

Tuskegee University just made headlines for banning durags, bonnets, and bedroom slippers in classrooms and the cafeteria. Lambers Fisher breaks down the new dress code and the debate it sparked: is this preparing students for the professional world, or policing culture in the name of respectability? He gets into where cultural expression and career readiness collide, and whether an HBCU should be the one drawing that line. This isn't just about clothes; it's about who gets to define what "professional" looks like, and at what cost.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequence. On this episode of The Diversity Dude, Lambers Fisher breaks down the case of a Rochester, MN woman who called an 8-year-old autistic boy the n-word and was charged, not for that, but for how she treated the man who filmed her. Just because something is legal doesn't make it right, and it raises a bigger question: is hateful speech actually protected by the government? Lambers shares a few things worth keeping in mind for the next time you're in a hard conversation about where free speech ends and hate begins. 

Some art doesn't just get seen, it becomes history. On this episode of The Diversity Dude, Lambers Fisher sits down with Peyton, the artist behind the iconic George Floyd portrait that became a global symbol of justice, remembrance, and resistance. Peyton's back at it, creating a live mural during the World Conference on Remedies to Racial and Ethnic Economic Inequality at the University of Minnesota. Lambers gets into what inspired the piece and what responsibility, if any, artists carry during moments of social change.
