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.

Hudgens Center Hosting Pair of Exhibits Through April Senate confirms Loeffler to run U.S. Small Business Administration Duracell R&D headquarters coming to Atlanta All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Hudgens Center Hosting Pair of Exhibits Through April The Hudgens Center for Art and Learning in Duluth is hosting two exhibitions through April. The 10th annual “Stand in Ansel Adams’ Footsteps” juried competition, featuring 133 black-and-white nature photos, runs until April 26, celebrating the iconic landscape photographer. “Pause, Reflect, Prepare,” showcasing figurative sculptures by Decatur artist Jess Self, continues through April 19. Self’s work incorporates materials like wax, wool, and wood, reflecting her expertise in sculpture. Both exhibits highlight the center’s mission to connect art lovers and learners. Visit the Hudgens Center on Sugarloaf Parkway for more details. STORY 2: Senate confirms Loeffler to run U.S. Small Business Administration Former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., has been confirmed as director of the federal Small Business Administration in a 52-46 Senate vote. Loeffler, previously appointed to the Senate in 2020 by Gov. Brian Kemp, lost her seat to Democrat Raphael Warnock in 2021. A former CEO and co-owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, she is married to Jeff Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange.

Gwinnett police reported the incident occurred on Sugarloaf Parkway just before noon. Stewart was shot in the back and later died at a hospital. Todd remained at the scene and was arrested, facing charges including malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault. The argument between the co-workers escalated into the fatal shooting. STORY 5: House panel approves easing burden of proof of intellectual disability in capital cases A Georgia House committee advanced House Bill 123, which aims to ease the process for death penalty defendants to claim intellectual disability as a defense. The bill would lower the burden of proof from “beyond a reasonable doubt” to “preponderance of the evidence” and separate the determination of intellectual disability from the trial’s guilt phase. Advocates argue this reduces the risk of executing individuals with intellectual disabilities, aligning Georgia with other states. Critics, including a district attorney, warn it could complicate seeking the death penalty. The bill now moves to the House Rules Committee for a floor vote.

The Senate also passed an accompanying bill to set the referendum date. Supporters, like Sen. Sam Watson, highlighted the need to adapt the Conservation Use Valuation Assessment (CUVA) program to modern farming trends with larger family farms. The legislation now heads to the Georgia House.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for February 20th Publish Date: February 20th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, February 20th and Happy birthday to I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on seed oil All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Gwinnett County commissioners unanimously opted out of a new statewide floating homestead exemption tied to inflation, arguing their existing Value Offset Exemption (VOE) offers better savings. The VOE freezes taxable property values at the level when a homeowner first claimed the exemption, unlike the statewide version, which adjusts annually for inflation. County officials highlighted that the VOE has kept county taxes stable despite rising property values. The school system, which accounts for two-thirds of property tax bills, will hold hearings Thursday to decide whether to opt out as well. Residents can attend at 11 a.m. or 6 p.m. in Suwanee. STORY 2: Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Six people, including a mother and daughter, were arrested during raids on two methamphetamine operations in Gwinnett County on Feb. 12. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, working with the Gwinnett Metro Task Force and FBI Atlanta, seized 23 kilograms of methamphetamine and over $6,000 in cash from locations in Lilburn and Norcross. Charges ranged from trafficking methamphetamine to possession and obstruction of law enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office praised the collaborative efforts to enhance community safety. STORY 3: Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents The Jackson EMC Foundation awarded $99,890 in grants, with $80,000 benefiting Gwinnett County organizations. Recipients include Hebron Community Health Center and Hope Clinic for medical and mental health services, The Salvation Army for housing assistance, and Home Repairs Ministries for critical home repairs. Other grants supported virtual healthcare access, therapy for abuse survivors, and literacy promotion. Funded by the Operation Round Up program, which rounds members' electric bills to the nearest dollar, the initiative has provided over $21.5 million in community grants since 2005. Applications for grants are open to individuals and organizations in Jackson EMC’s 10-county service area. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: RINGLING BROS_FINAL STORY 4: Georgia Supreme Court raises concerns about 2019 child custody law The Georgia Supreme Court raised concerns about the 2019 Equitable Caregiver law, which allows non-legal parents to seek custody or visitation if they’ve had a parental role and bond with a child. In the case of *Dias v. Boone*, the court reversed a lower court's decision granting Abby Boone caregiver status over Michelle Dias’s child, ruling the law didn’t apply since Boone’s relationship with the child predated the law. While the justices questioned the law’s impact on parental rights, they did not strike it down, instead issuing a narrow ruling specific to this case.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for February 18th Publish Date: February 18th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, February 18th and Happy Birthday to John Travolta ***02.18.25 - BIRTHDAY – JOHN TRAVOLTA*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Mulberry looking to annex commercial properties on city's outskirts Andrew Young reflects on lessons from a life of service and partnerships Georgia Attorney General under fire over lawsuit targeting federal disability protections statute All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Mulberry looking to annex commercial properties on city's outskirts Mulberry, Gwinnett County's newest city, is pursuing legislation to annex over 100 mostly commercial land parcels, aiming for zoning control over key corridors like Hamilton Mill and Braselton Highway. Unlike Lawrenceville's residential-focused annexation plan, Mulberry's proposal, led by Mayor Michael Coker and State Sen. Clint Dixon, targets commercial centers like the Walmart at Hamilton Mill and Sardis Church Roads. The annexation, outlined in Senate Bill 139, won’t significantly impact Mulberry’s population and doesn’t require a referendum, focusing instead on managing future development and zoning. STORY 2: Andrew Young reflects on lessons from a life of service and partnerships Andrew Young, at 92, continues to inspire as a Civil Rights leader, former Atlanta mayor, and U.N. ambassador. His life and Atlanta’s growth are celebrated in an exhibit at the Lawrenceville Arts Center through March 31. During a fireside chat, Young shared stories of regional cooperation, advice from his father—“Don’t get mad, get smart”—and his resilience during a 1964 Civil Rights march attack. Reflecting on today’s polarized politics, he emphasized patience, collaboration, and focusing on helping others as keys to progress and democracy. STORY 3: Georgia Attorney General under fire over lawsuit targeting federal disability protections statute Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr faces criticism from lawmakers and disability advocates over a lawsuit targeting Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination. Carr’s office claims the lawsuit only challenges a Biden-era rule adding "gender dysphoria" as a protected disability, but critics argue it seeks to declare Section 504 unconstitutional, jeopardizing broader protections. Families fear this could lead to attacks on other laws like IDEA, which supports students with disabilities. Advocates stress the importance of accommodations for education and independence, urging Carr to withdraw from the lawsuit to protect these vital protections.

Despite struggles, the brewery has thrived in event hosting and community support, celebrating its 5th anniversary and securing a new distributor. Co-owner Wayne Baxter remains optimistic, citing recent successes and plans to expand into distilled spirits once equipment is repaired. Alongside fundraising, Baxter is seeking new investors to help cover back debt and ensure the brewery’s future. STORY 5: Gwinnett's Overstory Rooftop Bar To Host Exclusive Código Tequila Dinner Overstory Rooftop Bar at the Westin Atlanta Gwinnett will host a special four-course dinner paired with Código 1530 Tequila on Thursday, Feb. 27, at 6 p.m. The event features Amazonian-inspired dishes like Fosforera seafood soup, Chica Morada Short Ribs, and Chocolate Dreams Cake, designed to complement the tequila’s flavors.

Campos, 16 and seven months pregnant, was allegedly strangled by Monroy, resulting in her and her unborn child's deaths. The Gwinnett County DA's Office uncovered new evidence leading to these additional charges. Monroy, initially released on bond, was re-arrested following a grand jury indictment. STORY 2: Gwinnett expanding Dacula Park Activity Building Gwinnett County has begun a $12.8 million expansion of the Dacula Park Activity Building, transforming it into a 34,000-square-foot community recreation center.

STORY 5: Duluth police talk to CreekStone Academy students about public safety During CreekStone Academy's Community Helpers event, Duluth police officers, along with their K-9 Maverick, taught students about law enforcement and safety. While the officers shared valuable safety tips, the star of the event was undoubtedly Maverick, the department's four-legged public safety ambassador. Photos from the event showed students eagerly lining up to pet Maverick, making him the clear favorite among the kids. Break 3: STORY 6: Georgia Senate targets local governments over immigration enforcement The Georgia Senate passed Senate Bill 21, which removes legal immunity for local governments, officials, and employees who violate state laws requiring cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The bill, aimed at countering "sanctuary city" policies, allows lawsuits against those refusing to comply with federal immigration requests. While Republicans argue it strengthens existing laws, Democrats criticized it as unnecessary, noting no local government has violated the law. Concerns were raised about potential lawsuits against teachers and increased costs for local law enforcement. The bill now heads to the Georgia House of Representatives for consideration.

Regents approve first AI degree program State lifts poultry suspension after bird flu outbreak Atlanta teen snuck into Apalachee High during school day Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Regents approve first AI degree program The University System of Georgia has approved its first bachelor’s degree in applied artificial intelligence, launching this fall at Middle Georgia State University’s Warner Robins campus. The program aims to prepare students for careers in industries like health care, business, and cybersecurity, addressing Atlanta’s growing demand for tech talent. With AI playing a key role in areas like supply chain optimization and IT, the program expects to start with 65 students, growing to 168 by its fourth year. STORY 2: State lifts poultry suspension after bird flu outbreak Georgia’s Department of Agriculture has lifted its suspension on poultry activities after extensive testing found no new cases of avian influenza. The suspension, prompted by two bird flu cases in Elbert County last month, had halted poultry sales and events statewide, excluding retail meat and egg sales. Commissioner Tyler Harper emphasized the ongoing threat of bird flu to Georgia’s poultry industry but celebrated the return to normal operations. Over 4,500 tests on nearly 50,000 chickens revealed no further detections, though national outbreaks have contributed to record-high egg prices. STORY 3: Atlanta teen snuck into Apalachee High during school day An Atlanta teen, Herson Galindo, was arrested for trespassing and drug possession after sneaking into Apalachee High School on a bus with his girlfriend, a student there. Galindo, a Tri Cities High School student, was found hiding in hallways and bathrooms before being reported by another student. This incident follows a tragic mass shooting at the school five months ago, which left four dead, and a separate gun-related arrest last month. While Galindo was unarmed, he was found with a THC vape pen and faces multiple charges, including possession of drugs on school grounds.

The bill, passed along party lines, also prohibits state-owned healthcare facilities and physicians from providing such care. Democrats criticized the legislation as harmful, mean-spirited, and a distraction from real issues, warning it could hurt the economy and violate federal civil rights laws. Republicans, led by Sen. Blake Tillery, argued the bill reflects the will of most Georgians and ensures taxpayer dollars aren’t spent on these procedures. An amendment for mental health care exceptions was rejected. STORY 5: House Speaker Burns names interim chief of staff Former Gov. Nathan Deal’s chief of staff, Chris Riley, will temporarily serve as House Speaker Jon Burns’ chief of staff following an accident that hospitalized Terry England, the current chief of staff. Speaker Burns praised Riley’s experience and dedication, expressing confidence in his leadership during England’s recovery. Riley, who served as Deal’s chief of staff from 2011 to 2018, said he’s honored to step in and support Burns’ agenda. Burns assured colleagues that England is improving and will return to his role once recovered. Riley and his family run a small cattle farm in Hall County.

Security footage shows a dark-colored sedan with dark rims speeding near the scene, now identified as a vehicle of interest. Police have released images and are seeking public help to identify the car and its occupants. Anyone with information or dash cam footage is urged to contact the investigating detective at 770-904-7650. STORY 2: Parkview student brought unloaded gun to school A Parkview High student was arrested Thursday for bringing an unloaded gun to school, discovered after a classmate reported it. Administrators quickly located the student and found the firearm in their book bag. Principal David Smith assured parents that no threats or harm occurred but emphasized the seriousness of the incident, which violates school policy and the law. Officials urge parents to discuss the dangers of bringing weapons to school and encourage students to report concerns via text, the "GCPS Tips" app, or P3Campus.com/5105. Smith praised the community for prioritizing safety and vigilance. STORY 3: Legislation invites lawsuits against cities and schools that ignore immigration law The Georgia Senate Public Safety Committee advanced Senate Bill 21, which would allow lawsuits against school districts and governing bodies that violate state laws requiring cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The bill targets "sanctuary city" policies and mandates compliance with federal immigration detainer requests. Critics, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, warn it could lead to lawsuits against teachers, while the Georgia School Boards Association raised concerns about accusations triggering legal action. Supporters argue the bill enforces accountability by waiving sovereign immunity for noncompliance, potentially imposing financial penalties on violators.

Democrats opposed the bill, leading to economic boycotts, including MLB relocating its 2021 All-Star game. Raffensperger called the lawsuit "frivolous," citing polls showing 98-99% of voters reported no issues voting in recent elections. He also accused the Biden administration of political motives in pursuing the case.
