I'm coming up on my 14th year as acentral Jersey journalist, slowly incorporating the music scene & AsburyPark into my field of dreams. Much of my musical leanings over the decadessince the sixties have been folk and oldies. Then, on a late spring day in2011, while on the job, I discovered Arlan Feiles in Asbury Park. Anold-fashioned glimmering epiphany; I was back to the future. Arlan embodies allthat is essential, meaningful, hopeful, poignant, and dreamy in his words andmusic. A great friendship. I almost went with him to the 50th Anniversary ofthe Selma to Montgomery March over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. That's a specialfriendship; he invited me. Arlan was invited to attend that essential history.He is a caring, warm, dedicated, passionate soul with a wondrous talent. Anold-fashioned troubadour. I call him that often. A word I judiciously use todescribe Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Pete Seeger. Arlan is there. In thisinterview, he also discussed his new critically acclaimed release, record‘Diaspora.' And so much more. Thinking back on this. I finally interviewed myfriend, Arlan Feiles. https://www.youtube.com/c/ConversationswithCalvinWetheSpecIEs532 Interviews/Videos  9200 SUBSCRIBERSGLOBAL Reach. Earth Life.

They saw and personally tested so manycookies from others that were all about the pop and circumstance and not thequality of the cookies. WE ARE CHANGING THAT.

She also argues thatbilingual schooling may become a false champion for a future anti-racist,anti-imperialist, decolonial Latinidad if this schooling does not disruptracially inequitable outcomes and encourage Latinxs' critical consciousness.She invites teachers and educators to embrace ambitious teaching about the ambivalenceof race, an approach aimed at enhancing critical consciousness about race.**WE ARE ALSO ON AUDIOAUDIO “Conversations with Calvin; WE the SpecIEs”ANCHOR https://lnkd.in/g4jcUPqSPOTIFY https://lnkd.in/ghuMFeCAPPLE PODCASTSBREAKER https://lnkd.in/g62StzJGOOGLE PODCASTS https://lnkd.in/gpd3XfMPOCKET CASTS https://pca.st/bmjmzaitRADIO PUBLIC https://lnkd.in/gxueFZw

Her loving, but overbearingparents help her through recovery (despite her cringing) and learn that saying“vagina” loud and proud is the first step to advocating for herself in allaspects of her life.On the verge of finally breaking into her dream career inLos Angeles, Paige (in a hilariously deadpan performance by Valentina Tammaro)is forced to put everything on hold, move back in with her parents, and undergoa vulvar vestibulectomy, in order to alleviate years of vaginal pain. Paige'sexcruciating and hilarious road to recovery makes the health and wellbeing ofher lady parts a family affair, as her loving but over-enthusiastic parentslearn that saying “vagina” loud and proud is the first step to advocating forwomen's health. Based on writer/executive producer Bonnie Gross's true story,Gross and director Nancy Boyd both pull from their own, horrificallycringe-worthy experiences with vaginal pain and the difficulties women facereceiving treatment.
