SiriusXM

SiriusXM has announced four new, diverse weekly shows led by voices in race relations, culture, business, politics, law, medicine and more. The new programs bolster the Urban View channel's commitment to featuring dynamic discourse from prominent Black voices across a range of topics. The channel will unveil its new Sunday lineup starting Sunday, September 26.

Qasim Rashid, a human rights lawyer, author, Truman National Security fellow, and former nominee for United States Congress, will kick off the day with "The Qasim Rashid Show." The program's focus will be on racial, economic and gender justice, and will tap into the wisdom of diverse leaders and activists who help illuminate how our unique experiences can guide us towards justice, wholeness and accountability. Guests will include national thought leaders, activists, and politicians. The show airs Sundays at 10am ET.

Dr. Robin Smith is a licensed psychologist, bestselling author and national television personality who was first introduced to viewers around the world as the on-air therapist for "The Oprah Winfrey Show." Her new SiriusXM program, "The Dr. Robin Show," will address today's most pressing societal challenges through fearless, soulful conversations. She will also bring a uniquely healing perspective to our nation's most daunting social justice and mental health issues: from systemic racism and racial violence, to grief and loss, to discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation, to recovering and rebounding as a nation after the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The show airs Sundays at 11am ET.

Shelly Bell, entrepreneur, business and technology strategist, finance expert, CEO & Founder of Black Girl Venture, and 2019 Entrepreneur Magazine's Top 100 Powerful Women in Business is known to move ideas to profit while empowering people to live, build, and foster better relationships. She connects entrepreneurs, investors and corporations in order to diversify their talent pipeline, increase equity, and grow their brands. The Shelly Bell Show will be hosted by Bell and co-hosts Takia Ross and Sherrell Duncan, who will discuss topics surrounding entrepreneurship, career growth, and will cover all things money, wellness and pop culture. The program airs Sundays at 12pm ET.

Shermichael Singleton is a writer, commentator, former Contributing Host of Vox Media's Consider It, and political strategist who has worked on multiple presidential campaigns in addition to being named to Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree for Law and Policy (2019). Now Singleton will host "Bigger Than Politics with Shermichael Singleton," which will be dedicated to discussing the intersection of politics and culture. Whether you're a Democrat, Republican, or Independent -- the show seeks to explore the nuances of politics and the cultural underpinnings that impacts policy, elections, and culture. The show airs Sundays at 1pm ET.

"I'm thrilled to see the continued growth of Urban View and to welcome this diverse group of experts to the team," said SiriusXM Urban View host and Programming Consultant Karen Hunter. "In keeping with the channel's mission, our new programs will elevate the national dialogue about a wide range of topics that impact the African-American community. There couldn't be a better time to have these impactful, topical conversations, and there is no better place to have them than on Urban View."
