In today’s SwagHer Daily Brief, host and reporter, Fancy, breaks down the stories shaping Black women’s world on Monday, May 11, 2026. Black federal employees are taking legal action against that man’s administration over alleged forced departures, while Republican-led states push voting district changes critics say will dilute Black political power.
On the economic front, the SwagHer Daily Brief unpacks the confusion around unemployment numbers — because while the national rate sits at 4.4%, Black unemployment has climbed to 7.5%, what economists are calling a Black Recession driven by federal workforce cuts, tariff-related manufacturing losses, and systemic “last hired, first fired” patterns that hit Black women hardest. In culture, Angel Reese makes her WNBA debut, and Kevin Hart and Katt Williams finally end their decade-long feud live at Netflix’s Roast of Kevin Hart.
