In this episode of Black Oxygen, host Angela Russell is joined by former Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle for a wide-ranging conversation about diversity, race, leadership, and democracy.
Governor Doyle reflects on the formative experiences that shaped his values. We dig into the mechanics of building diverse teams without tokenism, the current fragility of American democracy, Wisconsin’s outsized role as a swing state, and why the arc of history — while long — still bends toward justice.
This is a conversation about hope, accountability, and the kind of courage it takes to keep showing up for what’s right, even when the moment feels discouraging.
I learned so much from Governor Doyle when I worked in his administration, and I think you’re about to understand why.
