Conversations on Race with Caroline Clarke - Part 1 & Part 2

Caroline Clarke is an award-winning journalist, a sought after speaker, moderator and acclaimed author. Her most recent book is Take a Lesson: Black Achievers on How They Made It and What They Learned Along the Way (February 2022). This compelling collection of first-person narratives charts the odds-defying successes of both known, and little known, figures across an array of backgrounds and professions. It is the 2nd edition of a groundbreaking book, also by Clarke, first published at the start of the millennium.

Clarke spent most of her career at the media company Black Enterprise, first as a senior editor at Black Enterprise magazine and ultimately as the founder and Chief Brand Officer of Women of Power. Years before broader attention was paid to Black women strivers and leaders, especially in the business realm, she created and led the nation’s largest annual conference for women of color executives — the Women of Power Summit – as well as a wealth of original multi-platform content for the brand which continues to give black women pursuing careers in business and beyond, the heightened validation, visibility and access to information and individuals they need to endure and advance.

In 2021, Clarke left Black Enterprise to pursue other interests. That same year, she was featured on CORE magazine’s 100 Most Influential Blacks Today. Her video-podcast, On the Clock with Caroline Clarke, earned a 2020 Telly Award for Best Motivational Online Content Series and she was also a 2020 recipient of AdWeek’s Changing the Game Award. Clarke’s 2014 memoir, Postcards from Cookie, was named Best Memoir of the Year by Essence.

A native New Yorker with degrees from Smith College and Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Clarke is a mother of two and a passionate advocate for adoption, mental health and wellness, and high quality public education. She currently serves on several non-profit and corporate advisory boards.

My podcast is a celebration of my family history and my civil rights era coming-of-age.

My African American family relationship with Quakers and the Episcopal Church; rooted in my research and accompanied by the powerful stories and visuals of the Margaret Adele Truitt McGee (MATM) Collection of family photographs, oral histories, visual materials, art, artifacts, articles, audio and video recordings, spanning almost 300 years of freedom in the Union and in the United States of America. 

Conversations on Race by Patti Maria McGee will feature 24 guests annually to discuss their unique life stories, family histories, genealogical research, and DNA journey. Join us each week as we discover our common need to safely and comfortably discuss our shared humanity, love of peace, and respect for one another. And to help quash the false (eyeball-attracting) narratives being distributed to contrive destruction and mass incarceration.
