High on the Hog ’s directors, executive producers, and showrunner (series producer) are Black, as are its host and the historian whose book inspired the show. In a recent essay, “ The profound significance of ‘High on the Hog,’” Osayi Endolyn reflects on the new Netflix series hosted by fellow food writer Stephen Satterfield. He is also an urgent seeker, with something at stake in the journey-a level of palpable, emotional vibration that most network executives overlook in an industry-wide tendency to get in the way of Black people telling their own stories.” – Osayi Endolyn “ Satterfield’s role is twofold: he is the viewer’s guide, responsible for asking questions we don’t yet know we have. On the other hand, most of the executives McKinsey surveyed last summer said that they expected to see more of these workers at their company or in their business area. In fact, most contract, freelance, and temporary workers would prefer permanent employment. But three-fourths of immigrants with nonpermanent jobs would prefer permanent work-as would the majority of Black, Hispanic, Latinx, and Asian American nonpermanent workers. Black, Hispanic, and Latinx Americans are overrepresented among nonpermanent workers, as are first- and second-generation immigrants. Nonpermanent workers account for a sizable share of the US workforce: in a recent McKinsey survey, more than one in four working Americans said they were a contract, freelance, or temporary worker. McKinsey research shows that limiting overdraft fees and lowering minimum opening deposit amounts could help boost financial inclusion-and that digital banking products and fully digital banks could address geographic and affordability barriers. Overdraft and other fees can serve as a barrier to opening and maintaining a bank account: more than one third of unbanked households in the US cite high account fees as one of the reasons they do not have a checking or savings account. The bank cited the disproportionate burden that overdraft fees place on Black and Latinx Americans, who pay more of these fees and are less able to afford them-especially now, with so many families on the financial brink. Only about 1 percent of Ally customers have ever incurred overdraft charges, but those affected tend to live paycheck to paycheck. Plus: how Vimeo CEO Anjali Sud is encouraging everyone at the company to disagree with their boss.Īlly Bank, an online bank, eliminated all overdraft fees last week. In this issue, we look at a trailblazing move by Ally Bank, what contract workers are looking for, and what makes the Netflix series High on the Hog special.
