In the summer of 2021, hundreds of Black TikTokers went on strike and demanded proper credit and compensation for dances they made famous. Why? Because, the most famous TikTokers of the pandemic, white teens Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae, had become extremely famous off of Black choreographers Jalaiah Harmon, Keara Wilson, and others' work -- a continuation of age-old appropriation and theft. Jamie talks with Savage dance creator Keara Wilson, commentator Amanda Bennett, and algorithmic scientist Meredith Broussard to take a closer look at the impact of this moment, and how social media is designed to amplify racism.

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Amanda Bennett. Amanda joins me on the show to talk about a topic that we've discussed directly and indirectly on this show—human capital. Specifically, Amanda talks about a gap that she saw in the hiring process over the years and how she developed a platform to help automate part of the hiring process. We start out talking about how her journey and role in the practice has evolved over the years and why she felt compelled to create a solution for a problem that she found to be persistent not only in the practice she managed but in other practices she would interact with a well. We talk about how important it is to have alignment of expectations with potential candidates, the responsibility that practice owners have to share as much of the right information as possible as early on in the hiring process to ensure that both parties are not wasting time, and the benefits she's seen from systematizing the process in their practice.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, be sure to subscribe to our monthly “planning life on purpose” newsletter that's filled with tips and ideas to help you plan your best life, on purpose.

Due to their size and expense, gardeners tend to put a lot more thought into the trees they ultimately buy for their landscape. While a perennial might only live for 6 or 7 years, a tree might grace your garden for 50 years or more—outliving the person who so carefully selected it, in fact. Here at Fine Gardening, we feel strongly that trees should look good in more than one season (for all of the reasons above AND because they take up a lot of real estate). Therefore, on today's episode, we may be highlighting our favorite flowering trees for every season, but these choices have more going for them than just some fleeting blooms. Listen to hear about which trees we're willing to sacrifice a chunk of our paycheck on and why.    Amanda Bennett is vice president of horticulture and collections at Atlanta Botanical Gardens in Georgia.

The Nutrient Management Guide (RB209) helps farmers make the most of organic materials and balance the benefits of fertiliser use against economic and environmental costs. The guide explains the value of nutrients, soil and why good nutrient management is about more than just the fertilisers you buy; it can save you money as well as help protect the environment. This year, the RB209 is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its first publication. In this episode, AHDB's John Bates discusses with Dr Amanda Bennett, AHDB's Senior Environment Manager, who is an expert in soil health and crop nutrition. Joining the conversation is Dr Ian Richards, a member of the Fertiliser Advisers Certification & Training Scheme (FACTS) Advisory Committee, and a contributor to the first edition. Together, they shed some light on the history of the RB209, why it is important and how it looks going forward. Also featured is James Price, a farmer from Oxfordshire, who uses the guide religiously.

What's controversial about this concept?For many Black women, the concept of feminism is complex.

Is it our place to demand the stage, or better yet, build our own?define&empower founder, Amanda Bennett joins us on the new SheConfidential podcast episode to explore these questions and others related to Black feminism.

Well loyal listeners, it's hard to believe, but this is our 100th episode! We cannot thank everyone out there who has stuck with us from the early days of trying to figure out what a podcast about plants should sound like, and still downloads episodes to this day (when we've only figured out a bit more of what we're doing). We're not big on birthdays around here, but we did decide to kick off this anniversary episode with a question: If you could have 100 of any plant to give as gifts to friends and fellow gardeners, what would it be? Our answers may surprise you. Then we stick with the theme of gifts and launch into our annual holiday episode of plants that have made it onto our wish lists this year.

Are you a stay at home mom or a working professional (or both!) and feel like you're constantly struggling to find the time for self care? You have so many tasks to accomplish every day, and so your own body usually comes dead last. It's the same ‘ol story, but you KNOW that you're not your best self when you're rundown. You want to be taken care of as much as you take care of everybody else, but it feels impossible to make that happen.  If you've dealt with any of those feelings, this episode is for you. My guest is Amanda Bennett, fellow podcaster on the Gotcha Mama podcast and mompreneur who spent years in the professional world working for non-profits and professional sports teams. Recently, she switched gears to be home full time with her kids, and still found it tough to make space for self care.  As a working mom that has had to reset her expectations, Amanda is now finding joy in the small moments of self care and realizing that the right things can add up to big forward progress (especially for her mental health!) Listen as she shares the journey she took to becoming content with the baby steps.  MORE RESOURCES:  Postpartum Renew - 30 Days to Whole and Healthy  Jumpstart 30 [Registration Opens SOON - 10/21!!] – 30 days of accountability and guidance to help you finally gain consistency!  The FREE Body Type Quiz

Black feminism broadly incorporates these principles:Black women's experience of racism, sexism and classism are inseparable.Our needs and worldviews are distinct from those of Black men and white women.There is no contradiction between the struggle against racism, sexism and all other-isms. All must be addressed simultaneously.Despite this, the work of Black feminists was co-opted for a feminism movement which repeatedly left them out. In the present day, the calls for gender equality has focused almost exclusively on white women and even in the business world, we are excluded.Amanda, Anastasia and I have a very candid and honest conversation about our experiences. In fact, we got into so much, I have split the episodes so Part B will air next week.If you recognise that your racial equity and gender representation strategy is missing the nuance of addressing Black women, this podcast episode should be compulsory listening.

You'll understand the reasons that your needs are important, too, especially as a new mom. If you are considering having another child, you'll rethink your approach, expectations and the way you prioritize self-care, the next time! This episode features an interview with Amanda Bennett, host of the "Gotcha Mama" podcast. Amanda shares the difficulties she experienced when she had her first child. It was challenging to become a mother, as it can be for many of us. But Amanda realized later that she didn't take good care of herself or seek enough help from others, because she didn't understand her own needs and there wasn't enough guidance, information, or community support available. Amanda started a podcast to build her own community of support and fellowship for mothers. As she learned from other moms and reflected on her own experiences, Amanda created a plan for how she would approach postpartum with her second child. Her mission was successful! The second time around was completely opposite of when she had her first child; she felt like herself, wasn't completely overwhelmed, and felt whole much sooner. Amanda shares her secrets to a better postpartum experience in the episode. This is a feel-good, inspiring, relatable episode you won't want to miss! Topics: Realistic expectations of newborns & mom-life What you shouldn't expect from yourself How to not overdo it Why you should ask for & accept help from others How to prioritize self-care Recognizing your limits Common struggles that mothers go through Postpartum mental health Why new mothers need more support and openness How to give yourself grace Amanda is one of the talented instructors that teaches workshops for the Successful Sleep Membership Site.

This episode of the Sinica Podcast, recorded in June 2017, is running as a bonus this week. The arrest of Stephen Bannon yesterday on August 20, 2020, has brought renewed media attention to Guō Wénguì 郭文贵, a business associate of Bannon’s who is wanted by the Chinese government. The Wall Street Journal has recently reported that the federal authorities are examining the pair’s business dealings.

Is even Guo’s own life history verifiable? Who is he really, and why is he on this quest to unveil the shadowy world of Chinese elite politics? Mike and Alex don’t have all the answers, but they are two of the best people in the world to shed light on what is profound and what is puffery in Guo’s version of events.The life and times of Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui 郭文贵 reads much like an epic play, so it is fitting that we have included with this podcast a dramatis personæ to explain the many characters in Guo’s story.

The transition into motherhood is a life changing event. We all go into it with expectations that have likely been building based on what we've observed from other mothers our whole lives. Expectations that may not be realistic, but are very real. Somewhere along the journey of becoming a mom, taking care of a house, working or staying home, you may have found yourself feeling overwhelmed, underwhelmed, elated, frustrated, sad, lost...and possibly like you're the only mother who doesn't have this thing called motherhood figured out. You may have lost your identity in motherhood.Well, that's a lie that Instagram has been feeding into us. The reality is, every parent I've met has the same goal. To raise awesome kids and hope that their love trumps any mistakes they make along the way.In this episode of The Simple Home Podcast, I chat with Amanda Bennett from the Gotcha Mama Podcast about finding your identity in motherhood, letting go of your pre-baby self and gracefully allowing yourself to be a new version of you. She gives us 3 practical steps to finding ourselves and stepping into our purpose in motherhood.

美國之音廣播很多人在來美國之前都聽過，否則它怎麼會在全球有2億3千6百60萬聽眾呢。 大家都知道，這是美國納稅人的錢資助的新聞機構，通過短波向多個海外國家播音。有些是“大語種”，有些是“小語種“。中文廣播和電視就是比較主要的部分。“美國之音“隸屬於一個叫”美國全球新聞總署“的機構。這個機構以及”美國之音“，之前並不太引起美國國內人的注意，但最近”總署“換署長的事變成新聞。新署長Michael Pack，經過長達兩年的漫長參議院聽證，終於在6月4日的時候得到通過。但他等了一個多星期才上班，因為他要確保自己的辦公室沒有竊聽設備。由此可見他的緊張程度。他上星期一一上任，立刻開除了下面幾個部門的高級主管。這到底是怎麼回事？他的任命和川普總統有什麼關係？ 川普總統為什麼說美國之音“令人作嘔”？ 新署長和總統之前的高級顧問班農有什麼關係？ 班農為什麼美國之音前負責人Amanda Bennett是“中國共產黨的走狗？“ 整個過程和新冠狀病毒有什麼關係？聽了這集節目，會有些大概的了解。

After a divorce, today's guest Amanda Bennett tells the story of her personal disruption that changed her life for the better and allowed her to learn more about herself and about relationships. In this episode: Amanda shares that shortly after getting a divorce with her husband, she realized that she was more interested in loving a person, rather then their gender. What it was like coming out to her loved ones and son. What it's like being in a relationship with someone of the same gender and how it compares to being in one with a man or someone of the opposite gender. Amanda and Amanda discuss how chaos in life can lead to epiphanies about aspects of you you never know about yourself and how things like your sexuality, who you love, and labels don't and shouldn't box you in or be what defines you. The two also get frank about what it was like having sex with a woman for the first time.

It's no secret at this point. Planning and responding to the coronavirus has been an especially tough challenge for most federal agencies.

It wasn't easy. The agency had to order more laptops in a hurry, move data and systems to the cloud, and find ways to keep employees safe. Amanda Bennett is the director of Voice of America. She tells Federal News Network's Nicole Ogrysko how her agency began planning early.
