The Tory Lowe Show: Black Innovation Built the World & Misplaced Assumptions About Violence (Hour 2)

Tory Lowe opens Hour 2 highlighting Black inventions and inventors, making the case that the modern world simply would not function without Black innovation and intellectual contributions. Callers join the conversation to share their perspectives, experiences, and examples of how Black excellence has shaped industries, technology, and everyday life. Tory then continues by explaining why he often avoids speaking up in brainstorming meetings, arguing that too many leadership spaces exist to extract ideas rather than give credit. A caller adds to the discussion by spotlighting Kizzmekia Corbett-Helaire, the Black scientist who played a key role in developing the COVID-19 vaccine, reinforcing the importance of recognizing Black contributions in real time—not years later. The hour closes with Tory addressing a drive-by shooting in Waukesha where a man targeted his ex-girlfriend. Tory challenges the automatic assumption that drive-by shootings are always gang-related, pointing instead to domestic violence and personal disputes that often get overlooked in public narratives.
