Скачать или смотреть The Crisis Michelle Obama Exposed: Black Leadership, Acquiescence, and Lost Power

Michelle Obama recently said the quiet part out loud: leadership that refuses to transition becomes a liability and not an asset. In this episode, Devon Lesesne breaks down why Black leadership in politics, business, and civic institutions is facing a reckoning rooted in aging power, misplaced loyalty, and decades of acquiescence.
This is not a conversation about disrespect. It’s about accountability, legacy, and the hard math of power. From Washington, DC politics to national Black leadership pipelines, this episode examines:

Why are we holding onto positions long past their usefulness
How “playing the game” hollowed out Black political and economic leverage
The absence of safe exits, industries, and institutional off-ramps for senior leadership
Why loyalty is weaponized to silence critique
How younger generations are rejecting inherited strategies that no longer work
Michelle Obama frames the issue as societal. Devon takes it further by naming the cost of trading collective power for proximity, and why working harder inside broken systems doesn’t move the goalpost, it just confirms it.
If you care about Black political power, generational wealth, leadership transition, or why progress keeps stalling at the top, this episode is required viewing.
