As another class of Gen-Z graduates, they are taking one more step into adulthood. But still, our nation is divided by racial violence, economic inequality and disappearing reproductive rights. For this reason, The Takeaway takes a Deep Dive into Gen-Z: Who are they and what do they want? To give us a better idea we talked to Cathy Cohen, the David and Mary Winton Green Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago and Philip N. Cohen, Professor and Director of Graduate Studies of the Department of Sociology at The University of Maryland. Cathy Cohen is the principal investigator and founder of the GenForward Survey. One of the biggest concerns for Gen-Z is economic security. As the older part of this cohort enters the workforce we discussed what work they want to do as well as what work should do for them. We speak with 20-year-old Parker Lacewell who's facing these questions as well as Terry Nguyen, a reporter for The Goods at Vox who covers consumer and internet trends, and technology.  We also looked into how Gen-Z utilizes technology to do everything from organizing to quitting their jobs. We spoke with Pamela Aronson, Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan-Dearborn about what their use of technology tells us about their hopes for the future. WNYC's Radio Rookies Rainier Harris and Folashade Olatunde joined to discuss their concerns for their generation. Activist, strategist, influencer and founder of the Gen Z Girl Gang, Deja Foxx told us how her cohort uses the power of social media to affect change in the world. And, we had the privilege of listening in on a conversation between Marley Dias, founder of #1000BlackGirlBooks and her Mom, Janice Johnson Dias, author of Parent Like It Matters. They discussed everything from college, to the massacre in Buffalo to the future of reproductive rights.

Books: They can transport us, entertain us, show us who we can be, and even get us through hard times. In this episode, Hillary sits down with three fellow book-lovers: mystery novelist (and friend) Louise Penny; return guest Stacey Abrams in her capacity as romance writer (!); and Marley Dias, the 15-year-old founder of the #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign.  Louise Penny is an award-winning and bestselling author. The latest installment in her Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series, All the Devils Are Here, was published earlier this year. Stacey Abrams was the 2018 Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia and previously served as the minority leader in the Georgia House of Representatives. As the founder of Fair Fight and Fair Count, she has been a major force in the push to advance voting rights and ensure fair elections. She’s also a romance mystery novelist: under the pen name Selena Montgomery, Stacey has published eight books, including Reckless. Marley Dias is the 15-year old founder of #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign, which collects and donates books featuring Black female protagonists to counter the lack of diversity in children’s literature. She is also the author of Marley Dias Gets It Done: And So Can You!, and the host and producer of the Netflix series Bookmarks: Celebrating Black Voices. 

It's important, but not often prioritized, that younger generations see themselves in the stories before them. Are there characters who have similar backgrounds, characteristics, and experiences to them? Do they see their families and neighborhoods reflected in what they read? Too often, the answer is no. But at 15, Marley Dias has already done a lot to change that. In 2015, she launched the #1000BlackGirlBooks drive to collect and donate 1,000 children's books featuring Black female protagonists. To date, she's collected over 12,000 books. Continuing our series of conversations with youth leaders, Pete talks to Marley about the lack of diversity in children's books, the importance of representation in the classroom, and the surprising pattern in the books she found.

Isy Suttie speaks to Marley Dias about her work creating the #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign. Marley was in 5th grade when she decided to take action with the lack of diversity in books that she was studying in school. Marley’s parents encouraged her to find a way to make change happen, and with their help at 10 years old, she created a movement to make sure that diverse stories were put into the schools and communities that need them. Through her campaign; Marley has spoken at big talks and events, met Michelle Obama and Oprah and became the youngest person ever to be featured on Forbes 30 Under 30 list. The target of 1000 books was smashed, now standing at more than 12,000 – all while Marley continues to go to school, do homework and see friends. This is how Marley changed her world…

WORLD KINDNESS DAY SPECIAL: In 5th grade, Marley Dias felt dissatisfied with the books her school had to offer, particularly the lack of diversity in the stories she was reading. “I never saw black girls as the main characters,” says Marley. At age 10, with the help of her mom, grassroots activist Dr. Janice Dias, Marley turned her frustration into action. In November 2015, #1000BlackGirlBooks was born — a campaign that aims to collect and donate books with black, female protagonists. Due to her relentless attitude and after earning well-deserved media coverage on the biggest platforms, including the Ellen Show, Marley far exceeded her initial goal. Apart from promoting diversity in children’s literature, Marley has reached milestones beyond her years. She earned the title editor for a section on online magazine ELLE.com called Marley Mag, and wrote her own book ‘Marley Dias Gets It Done: And So Can You!” Learn more about #1000BlackGirlBooks: grassrootscommunityfoundation.org/1000-black-girl-books-resource-guide Follow Marley Dias: @iammarleydias (instagram.com/iammarleydias) Purchase our 1st MERCH featuring our ‘Society of Kind Humans’ shirt: https://sincerelyhueman.com/store —— Special thanks to our incredible Production Intern Katie Santamaria.

EPISODE 2: Naomi Wadler, Female Artists & Fistula This week we discuss our love for Naomi Wadler and her inspiring and powerful speech at the March for Our Lives in the U.S on 24 March, 2018. Her exploration and unapologetic honesty about her support for all the Black Girls and Women who’ve been victims of gun violence brings us hope for the future of Feminism. VERVE wholly support and celebrate the equality of Black Women, and actively play a role in the fight for it. We also explore 5 female artists (Lorna Simpson, Valie Export, Ana Mendieta, Ewa Partum and J.C. Cowans) who we admire for their beautiful and detailed illustration of Womanhood through Art. And finally, our C.F.O (Chief Feminist Operative) Anna Quick- Palmer writes and reads about what Fistula is and how the rarely spoken about birth condition plagues women and girls in the developing world.

I checked out a TED Talk presented by a woman named Lisa Bu I’ve got to share because I think many of us can relate to her story. Lisa’s parents expected her to pursue a well-paying job, with little care as to its fulfillment. When she emigrated from China as a child, she discovered some wonderful adult advice from a source outside her mom and dad: books. Jane Eyre taught her independence, while Cheaper by the Dozen imparted efficiency. Books became her magic portal to other worlds and a way to connect with people. They provided her with a whole new point of view that impacted her life in a way she never could have imagined. With that, I bestow you with Lisa Bu’s final words from that TED Talk: May books be always with you. The post Marley Dias: She’s Advocating for #1000BlackGirlBooks appeared first on On The Dot Woman.

This week, we're talking with creators who saw a void in the marketplace: books with black girls as the heroines.

We talk with her about her own book, Marley Dias Gets It Done: And So Can You and Suzanne gets a little hosting help from Scholastic News Kids Press reporter Titus Smith, III.  Later on, we sit down with Kelly Greenawalt and Amariah Rauscher, the creators of the indomitable, inventive, and adorable Princess Truly.

Sixth grader Marley Dias loves to read. But the books she was assigned in school never seemed to have protagonists who looked like her. So she started a nationwide book drive to collect 1,000 books featuring black girls as main characters. By the time her self-imposed deadline came around (February 1st), Marley had amassed a book collection she says is important not just for black girls, but for everyone. "We all know that America is er very, very, very diverse," she says, "but we're not really seeing it in the literature that we're pushed to read." Marley says reading books about black girls' lives makes her feel like her own experiences are part of a bigger, more universal story. "I know who I am," she says, "but you still want to see it in other places, so you don't feel like something that's rare and that's never really been around." In our Juicy Fruit segment this week, we talk about how a lynching postcard made its way into the table decor at a Joe's Crab Shack in Minnesota (and how referring to a lynching as a "public execution" ignores the historical context of the act). And we also send love to a young gay couple, Marquez Tolbert and Anthony Gooden, in Georgia. They're recovering from injuries sustained when Gooden's mother's boyfriend poured boiling water on them as they slept. Georgia doesn't have a hate crime law, so their assailant Martin Blackwell won't be charged with a hate crime, though he allegedly told them, "Get out of my house with all that gay," after the attack. According to a police report, Blackwell told officers, "They were stuck together like two hot dogs … so I poured a little hot water on them and help them out […] They’ll be alright. It was just a little hot water.” In fact, they suffered severe burns that required skin grafts and are still in physical therapy and counseling. Gooden was placed in a medically-induced coma for several weeks, and Tolbert has to wear compression garments for two years to help him heal. The couple has a GoFundMe page to raise money for their medical treatment.
