Shortchanged is back! And we’re doing things a little differently. After seasons of uncovering how communities, especially BIPOC communities, are underfunded, overlooked, and shortchanged, Monique and Taylor are passing the mic in a brand-new way.

From now on, Shortchanged will run as a limited-series podcast. Each season will have its own theme and host, bringing fresh energy and new perspectives to every chapter.

In this trailer, Monique and Taylor introduce the first guest host of the new format: Christal Cherry, founder of The Board Pro and the “Beyoncé of Board Development.” Christal is a coach, facilitator, and racial equity advocate who inspires boards to become movements, not just meetings. This season, she’ll guide us through powerful conversations about all things Boards, the challenges, the opportunities, and the transformation they can inspire.

Listen in to hear Christal share what drew her to this season, the stories she’s most excited to tell, and what she hopes you’ll take away.
