The life they taught her to build almost took her with it. For decades, Katina Barnes poured into families, mentored girls, launched programs, led ministries, and moved mountains with two-person teams. The world clapped. But no one asked what it cost. In this National Black Girl Month™ feature, Katina joins Felicia Ford and co-host Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown to name what many Black women are only starting to admit: that being “strong” is often a trap. That sometimes it takes collapsing in your own bed to realize what was never sustainable. That no matter how much good you're doing—you still deserve to live. This conversation is not a warning. It's a reckoning. If you've been performing strength while privately unraveling, If you've been told to push through while your body says no, If you've outgrown the expectations that once defined your worth— this episode is where you lay it down. You'll hear: How burnout disguises itself as achievement Why letting go of control isn't failure—it's survival What real boundaries sound like when they're held, not explained How to model wellness for the next generation without apology Why “being needed” can no longer be the measure of your value This is not about doing less. It's about doing what's yours to carry—and no more.

Grizzly Flats post office reopens following the Caldor Fire. Also, Sacramento County's progress and challenges to add mental health clinicians at every school. Finally, the largest bilingual university fair in Northern California, “Steps to College.” Grizzly Flats Post Office Reopens Following Caldor Fire The 2021 Caldor Fire largely destroyed the community of Grizzly Flats, and rebuilding has been slow. But this week there is a landmark to celebrate. More than two years after the devastating wildfire, the town's U.S. Post Office has reopened. And this milestone is about more than just mail. Grizzly Flats resident Eileen Strangfeld, Postmaster Alicia Leech, and Mark Almer from the Grizzly Flats Fire Safe Council join Insight with an update on the town's restoration. Sac County's Progress to Add Mental Health Clinicians to Schools CapRadio's Sacramento K-12 Education Reporter Srishti Prabha shares their reporting on the progress and challenges Sacramento County is facing in their push to add mental health clinicians in classrooms. In 2020, the Sacramento County Office of Education set a goal to have a clinician at every school - roughly 300 campuses - but progress has been slow. However there are bright spots. Srishti explains that schools like Ethel I Baker Elementary within Sac City Unified show promising potential.  You can also read Srishti's reporting in The Sacramento Observer. Bilingual University Fair Navigating the next steps after high school can be daunting. Applications, money - and even a family's status here in California - can all be factored into where students choose to go to college.

Joining us with more on “Steps to College” are organizers, Dr. Miguel Molina, Academic Advisor for the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) at Sac State, and Tonatiuh Gonzalez, Consul General of Mexico in Sacramento.    

In this episode, Lisa, Rebecca, David, and Becky discuss:A critique of the information and misinformation of the latest NACAC Annual Survey of Colleges. The role of ACT and SAT scores even beyond the admissions process. The impact of Institutional Priorities in the admission of students.Colleges have differing expectations for various majors, including highly competitive majors. Whether the ability to pay affects students' admission rates.Key Takeaways: To understand what schools seek for admissions, the common data set is more important than the NACAC survey for the colleges your student is considering.The survey does not reflect admission by major but is critical for your student to understand.College is more than just getting in; it is also about affording college. Test-optional admissions help the most wealthy students and the least wealthy students. It hurts those in the middle class the most. Institutional priorities, like the ability to pay, influence admission but are not covered in the survey. “We always have to take these surveys with a grain of salt. I encourage families to do their homework, to work with professionals, or to work closely with their school counselor to really understand the nuances of college admissions because until things change, it continues to be very opaque.” – Rebecca Stuart-OrlowskiAbout Becky Priest: Becky Priest is the College Counselor at The Cambridge School, where she has overseen the design and build-out of their college counseling program.

Show Notes: Amelia Noel-Elkins, a graduate of Harvard, shares her journey since graduating from the university. She began her career in intercollegiate athletics after graduating and worked as the manager of the men's swim team and an internship in the athletic department, and she was convinced this was the path she wanted to follow.  After moving back to Indiana, she was accepted into an internship, and she started a master's program at Indiana University, where she also worked in the academic advising office in the athletic department. She eventually became a full-time academic advisor and was promoted to the role of associate director.   After finishing her PhD at Indiana, and started the position as an Associate Director, one of her basketball players set her up with his professor. They met at a bar in Bloomington, Indiana, where her parents had met. They married and  moved to Illinois where Amelia took a position as Director of University College. She talks about what was involved with this role.   After 15 years, she was promoted to Interim Assistant Vice President for Student Success at Illinois State. Most recently, she started as the Associate Provost at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Amelia believes in fate and believes in  following signs and signals that guide you through life. She has two children, one starting college and another junior. Amelia talks about academic advising and how she was focused on athletic advising. She talks about the friendships formed and helping students with individual courses, tutoring, time management, mentoring and working with students over the course of several years.    Amelia discusses the challenges of managing the workload and balancing the demands of athletics and academics. She explains the demands of Division One athletics and offers examples of challenges faced. An example of a player student that Amelia worked with was a baseball player who faced constant travel and strict attendance requirements. Athletes especially find it difficult to manage traveling during the school year, and combining academic studies with athletic demands. She helped them plan their schedules, ensuring they could take courses at another institution or time and transfer them back to finish their degree. Amelia also discusses the importance of setting up students for success in the long term, especially during championship sports. Many of her soccer and basketball players went pro, and she helped them manage their identities as athletes while focusing on their career. She explains that a typical week for a division one athlete involves choosing classes carefully, with many morning classes and afternoon practices. However, smaller schools may have limited facilities and practice facilities, making it more challenging to manage time. Amelia also discusses the differences between student athletes and general population students in terms of time management and self-management. She believes that students from the general population school experience includes extracurricular activities, such as student government, orientation, jobs, or research labs.  Overall, the advising profession in higher education is a complex and multifaceted field that requires a deep understanding of the students and their needs. Amelia has a passion for athletics management, having worked with the men's swim team and gaining an internship in the athletic department. She believes that if student athletes have people who are committed to helping them be students and athletes, there is the capacity for them to succeed. She sees this happening at Harvard, Indiana, and Illinois State, but not as much at School of the Art Institute where they don't have a collegiate athletics program.  Amelia also shares her favorite theory in student development, the challenge and support theory. This theory suggests that students need both challenge and support to overcome challenges and grow. Some students need more support at the beginning, while others need less. In conclusion, Amelia emphasizes the importance of providing students with the necessary support and challenge to succeed in their academic pursuits. By advising students on time management and promoting a love for their studies, they can achieve success in their future careers.  An Academic Advisor's Advice  The challenge and support model is essential for students to perform optimally in their academic pursuits. It is crucial to provide both leeway and support, which can be beneficial for both students and adults. One tip for young people struggling with study tips is to go to office hours and consult professors for guidance. In the world of electronic gadgets and apps, Amelia stresses the importance of time management. It is important to remember the basics of plotting all tasks and print out a weekly schedule. This helps students plot their classes, jobs, and eating habits, etc.  Amelia states that the political landscape has a significant impact on higher education, particularly in the field of College Student Personnel Administration. Many professionals in this field work with students on equity, diversity, and inclusion issues. Recent Supreme Court decisions and subsequent issues are expected to have a significant impact on how college personnel operate. Amelia's perspective on the coddling of the American mind is complicated, as it is more complex than often described. She believes significant mental health issues need to be addressed. In higher education, providing mental health support is not coddling them, but rather a medical issue.   Amelia's current role involves working behind the scenes on curricular issues that she didn't normally have the ability to work on in her previous job. At the School of the Art Institute, which has a high rate of students seeking a creative outlet for their creativity, it can be difficult to help identify which courses students' actually need. She mentions a project she recently completed to help the programs work more effectively. The challenge and support model is crucial for students to perform optimally in their academic pursuits. By focusing on the basics and addressing the complex issues faced by students, institutions can better support and help students navigate the challenges they face.   Amelia talks about her experiences with professors and courses that have resonated with her personally and professionally. She mentions History Professor Mark Kishlansky, who was her shadow advisor for her thesis. Kishlansky was known for his expertise in Early Modern English history which Amelia loved.  After graduation, she continued working part-time for the library while she was there, which was a fun post-college job. She enjoyed not only getting books but also having conversations with the people who were working there. In summary, Amelia's experiences with professors and professors during her college years have been invaluable in her personal and professional growth, and her experiences at Widener Library and her work at the library have left a lasting impact on her life and career.   Timestamps: 01:30 Career path and life journey after graduating from Harvard 05:29 Academic advising in higher education 09:45 Balancing athletics and academics for college athletes 13:47 Managing time and balancing athletics and academics in college 19:34 Time management tips for college students 24:01 Mental health, and higher education challenges 28:54 College courses and professors' impact 33:16 Bear and bull baiting sporting laws   CONTACT: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/amelia-noel-elkins-240ba229 Email: anoel92@post.harvard.edu FB and Instagram: amelianoelelkins

I Am Learning That There is Nothing Wrong with Me Finding a community of people who are wired like you is healing and validating since HSPs often feel isolated in traditional social settings. As a result of taking the Online HSP Course, Kathy shares how she learned that nothing is wrong with her, and how she learned to trust herself. The Group models what a functional “family” is like, and everyone has permission to show up exactly as they are. We talk about the importance of resistance, and how to work with negative thoughts when doing new things.

On today's episode of The Executive Appeal Podcast host Alex D. Tremble interviews SiberZincir CEO and founder & President of CyberMagus, LLC, Sinan Eraydin.Sinan Eraydin is a Turkish American entrepreneur based in Washington DC. He holds BSc Software Engineering and MA International Relations degrees from the Istanbul Bahcesehir University, as well as an MPS Strategic Cyber Operations & Information Management degree from the George Washington University. Mr. Eraydin runs cybersecurity and software development startups in Istanbul and Washington DC, developing infrastructure to train cyber operators in cyber intelligence, offensive and defensive cyber operations. He also serves at the NATO Center of Excellence Defense Against Terrorism as an Academic Advisor and an Instructor and continues his 2 nd track diplomacy efforts as a Senior Fellow at the Cyber Security Forum Initiative in United States.Main Takeaways:Eraydin said privacy and security and what is acceptable are often dependent on circumstances and culture. People often make decisions based on their own experiences and precautions. It often changes with time and circumstances. The show Black Mirror had an episode about rating citizens based on behavior. Eraydin said in Asia this is happening with citizens getting grades. The info must be safe and secure and used correctly. When a person feels like their country will use that info against them it becomes problematic. There's a huge expectation of truth when collecting information for the economy or safety, but even when doing the right thing, there's a risk of cyber hacks, cyber terrorism, and breach of consumer information. With AI and advancements in technology, there's always a risk of using helpful information against you (ie identifiable information) Eryadin said all of our information is in digital files and some of it is valuable, accurate, and designed to be used to process for the customer and service providers to have better processes. Limiting the information may lead to mediocre services. However, the more identifiable the info is, the more likely it is to be valuable. How much accuracy and efficiency do you give up to protect against possible cyber threats?There are a lot of difficult questions about the balance of providing personal information and how it impacts your privacy and security. Eryadin said there are social norms about giving personal information ie social media. There are things people don't mind everyone knowing, but also we are all liable for our decisions in what we share. How do you train cyber security? Well first, the word “hacker” may be offensive to some, but it's a phrase everyone understands. It will be a profession for some in the near future, like if someone was a doctor. Some will become what they call “ethical hackers” Hacking became the dark side when people began making financial gains, but before that, it was anarchists who wanted freedom of information. It was when people pirated so people would get free things. It was more “noble” in the past vs. hackers today who use their skills for nefarious illegal reasons.You have to learn to hack to know how hackers think. It's called offensive cyber which is only legal through government authorities. You also have defensive...

She was reluctant to be groomed for the role of Commissioner, but after spending an hour with Sonja Stills you will see exactly why she is the Commissioner of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.  In this episode, Sonja takes us through her journey in the sports industry. Including why she only asked for one promotion in the last 20 years, the value of being present in your current role and being vocal about your ambitions, why it's ok to ask for a promotion even if you've been in a role for less than a year, and why it's essential to not only have a seat at the table but also have a voice.    Connect with Jahaan:  Learn more about working with Jahaan and see if it's the right fit for you: https://JahaanBlakeAppointmentScheduling.as.me/LetsTalk Join Jahaan's VIP Email List: https://bit.ly/3yccwAP  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jahaanblake/ Email: jblake@jahaanblake.com Website: https://jahaanblake.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jahaanblake/   Connect with Sonja: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonja-stills-265500126/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/commishstills/  Sonja O. Stills has been a respected, well-known staple within the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for the past 20 years, and on Jan. 1, 2022, she took over as commissioner -- becoming the first female commissioner in the conference's history, as well as the first female commissioner of a Division I HBCU conference. With a proven track record of accountability, efficiency, and passion, Stills has risen through the ranks within the MEAC, beginning with her tenure at the conference in October 2002. Stills has made a name for herself among her peers and other industry professionals for her never-ending dedication to the conference and its student-athletes, ability to grow and innovate, organization, team-first mentality, and goal-achieving initiative. In January 2021, Stills was promoted to Chief of Staff/Chief Operating Officer of the MEAC. In her new role, she ensures that the Commissioner is carrying out the strategic objectives of the Council of Chief Executive Officers and the Delegate Assembly. Stills was the lead on all hiring, strategic and long-range planning, re-branding, and marketing, NCAA Name, Image and Likeness (NIL), conference budget, the renewal of the MEAC Basketball Tournament with the City of Norfolk, and all special events and activities.  Stills also created the MEAC's Esports program, a new, cutting-edge initiative that began in the summer of 2020, as the conference and world continued to deal with the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic. She took charge as the Director of Esports, serving as the key driver in developing regulations for the MEAC Esports Community and developing the MEAC's esports strategy. Her goal has been to enhance awareness of the MEAC's esports initiative by working with industry business leaders to encourage growth.  Much like overseeing the addition of Esports to the MEAC's portfolio, Stills looks to enter a new tenure for the conference while continuing to bolster the respect, traditions, and love of the MEAC. She looks to deepen the communication with the member institutions, alumni, fans, and community, to express the strong desire and support for the success and sustainability of the Conference that transparently articulates its vision and strategy. The intention is to create a collaborative process in which the “new vision” for the MEAC is a shared vision that is all-inclusive athletically and academically.   Before her appointment to Chief of Staff/Chief Operating Officer, Stills served as the Senior Associate Commissioner for Administration and Compliance (June 2012-21), Assistant Commissioner for Administration and Compliance (July 2008-12), Executive Assistant to the Commissioner (July 2006-08), Senior Woman Administrator (June 2006-2021) and Director of Compliance (October 2002-08). Prior to being named Commissioner, Stills elevated overall brand visibility for the MEAC. She negotiated over $683,000 in corporate partnership monies by working with major companies such as: iHeartRadio, US Marines, Home Depot, Hampton Roads Transit, JT Fisher Funeral Home, Priority Automotive, ESI, TowneBank, Glenmede Financials, House-Autry, CurtMont Food Services and Harley Davison. She assisted in negotiating a contract with Nike that brought over $9 million to member institutions. She operates with the financial interests of the conference; its member institutions and student-athletes are at the forefront for her. She designed and implemented the Athletic Eligibility Certification Review to assist institutions in preparing for the NCAA Academic Progress Program (APP) Data Review. She managed the budgets for the Conference Grant, Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund and Special Assistant Fund. She was instrumental in developing the MEAC Strategic and Long-Range Plan in December 2008, along with securing global creative agency 160over90 as the marketing company for the MEAC in 2020. In 2022, she oversaw the update of MEAC Strategic and Long-Range Plan. As the Senior Associate Commissioner, Stills provided supervision for Conference staff, including Compliance, Championship, Media Relations, Finance, Corporate Partnerships, Multimedia/Marketing, Digital & Video and administrative support staff. She took the helm and managed the operations of the Conference Office in the absence of the Commissioner, coordinated all ancillary events of the Conference (i.e., Football Press Luncheon, Basketball Tournament Tip-Off Banquet, Cheerleading Championship, Pre-Season Basketball Press Luncheon, etc.) and Mid-Winter, Spring and Summer Conference meetings. During the conference basketball tournaments, Stills provided guidance and insight while monitoring the NCAA Academic Progress Program (APP) for member institutions to implement the APP Seminar with NCAA Academic and Membership Staff. She also provided administrative support to the Commissioner for the Council of Chief Executive Officers and Executive Committee and conducted conference compliance workshops, reviews, and spot checks to ensure compliance with Conference and NCAA rules and regulations. She served as liaison to the conference's Compliance Coordinators, Athletics Academic Support staff, Alumni Directors and Constitution and Bylaws committees, as well as assisting with other conference committees.  Under Stills' guidance as the Assistant Commissioner for Administration, she coordinated the MEAC Cheerleading Championship — the only HBCU collegiate cheerleading championship. During her time as the Executive Assistant to the Commissioner, Stills provided direct support to the Commissioner, administrative support to the Commissioner for the Council of Chief Executive Officers and Executive Committee, managed the day-to-day operations and administration of the conference office, assisted the Commissioner by executing initiatives and special projects, evaluated functions, practices and the efficiency of facilities, and evaluated staff performance while providing leadership and guidance for personnel. As the Senior Woman Administrator, Stills continued to work in conjunction with the senior leadership team within the MEAC regarding women's issues and other issues that affect the membership. She coordinated the Senior Woman Administrators' Women in Athletics Professional Development Workshop, coordinated the selection of the MEAC Woman of the Year and served as the liaison to member institutions' senior woman administrators.  AT HAMPTON UNIVERSITY Before arriving at the MEAC, Stills served as Hampton University's Coordinator of Athletic Academic Support for four years, and for three of those years, she was appointed Senior Woman Administrator. While at Hampton, she created the university's first Athletic Academic Support Program and implemented the CHAMPS/LifeSkills Program. She provided academic advising, counseling, and assistance to student-athletes in areas of course selection, registration procedures, degree requirements, career planning, university resources and other related topics associated with academic performance for all sports programs. While serving as Senior Woman Administrator, Stills served as the highest-ranking female on the senior leadership team regarding the administration of the athletics department. She coordinated student-athlete and corporate partner banquets and events, oversaw the supervision of the cheerleading program, and assisted in coordinating event management during home football and basketball games with gameday operations, marketing, and will-call. A 1993 graduate of Old Dominion University, Stills earned her bachelor's degree in Human Services Counseling. While a student, she earned the Virginia Campus Outreach Opportunity League (VA COOL) Catalyst Award for creating a week-long community outreach program for the university. In addition, she served on the university's President's Advisory Committee on Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action and Diversity. In 1996, she received a Master of Arts in Counseling (College Student Work Personnel) from Hampton University. She would later go on to graduate from the Sports Management Institute in 2002 and the NACWAA/HERS Institute for Administrative Advancement in 2008.  PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS  Stills holds current memberships in the National Association for Athletics Compliance (NAAC), National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics (N4A), Minority Opportunities Athletic Association (MOAA), Women Leaders for College Sports (WLS), National Association of Esports Coaches and Directors(NAECAD), and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.  She also serves as a substitute for the MEAC representative to the NCAA Division I Council. Stills is a former member of the NCAA Legislative Council (2008-11), Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association – Policy Committee (2008-20), MEAC Senior Woman Administrators Association Chair (2002), and Touraine Condominium Association Board Member (1997-2020).    Music By:  Quanzaa

On this episode, Beth and Andrew speak with evolutionary biologist Colin Wright. Wright walks us through the controversies around gender and trans ideology from the perspective of an evolutionary biologist and discusses the difference between sex and gender and explains why there are only two sexes: male and female.He shares his views on why so few scientists and doctors are willing to speak up on these issues. That leaves it to the parents and we talk about what they need to know about gender and sex in order to understand the ideologies being pushed on their children in our nation's schools.Colin Wright is an evolutionary biologist, Manhattan Institute Fellow, and an Academic Advisor at the Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine (SEGM). He received his PhD in evolutionary biology from UC Santa Barbara in 2018, and was an Eberly Research Fellow at Penn State from 2018 to 2020.

This is Episode 44 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog sponsored by Kepler Education. In this episode, Scott Postma is joined by Kepler's Academic Advisor, Joffre Swait, to discuss generalization and specialization. In a world that is increasingly more specialized, research is demonstrating what classical educators have known all along—generalists are typically more successful in life and work that specialists. While specialists tend to excel in their profession more quickly at the outset, they also stagnate quicker; whereas, generalists are slower out the gate but tend to flourish in a longer more sustained fashion, and do so in all areas of life and work.

On today's episode, I'm talking to Emory University Director of Athletics Keiko Price about growing into leadership roles.Keiko is the Athletic Director at Emory, at a time when less than 25% of all NCAA college ADs are women. Her journey started when she took time at the end of her swimming career to figure out her mission and vision. She realized she wanted to help student-athletes and took a leap of faith to become an academic advisor. As her career developed, Keiko communicated her goals to her mentors, who gave her the opportunities to take on new roles and learn skills she would need one day as an AD.We talk about:Why building an athletic department that reflects the student-athletes it serves is a deliberate process of reaching out to the right people for the job.How defining goals, whether personally or for an institution, helps you stay motivated when the going gets tough. Why getting a seat at the table isn't enough for women and underrepresented minorities, and how Keiko is encouraging the next generation to speak up and make an impression. Click here for the free resource I put together on the scientifically-proven way to set effective goals.You can find the show notes and more resources at https://madamathlete.comKeep an eye out for new content or let us know what you'd like to see next by following us on social:Instagram: @theMadamAthleteFacebook: @MadamAthleteTwitter: @MadamAthlete
