In 1889, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the now infamous Chinese Exclusion Act, which prohibited Chinese laborers from entering the country. Writing for the majority, Justice Stephen J. Field characterized Chinese migrants as “strangers in the land.” New Yorker editor Michael Luo says that label persists today, even as more than 22 million people of Asian descent now reside in the U.S. In a new history book, Luo tells the stories of 19th and 20th century Chinese migrants and analyzes the long tail of contemporary anti-Asian racism and violence while championing those who fought against it.

There is a lot of misinformation and stigma around neurodivergence that can create extra barriers and challenges for our families. This is especially true for Tourette syndrome, which is often referred to as “the most misunderstood well-known condition,” often the punchline of jokes on late-night TV and sitcoms. Its in large part because of these misconceptions and difficulty accessing resources that my guest today, Michele Turk, found herself at a loss when her 11 year old son Michael was diagnosed with Tourette. In her new memoir, What Makes Him Tic? A Memoir of Parenting a Child with Tourette Syndrome, she writes vulnerably about the challenges they faced as a family in getting the right support, navigating school, social, emotional, and academic challenges, and how she evolved from thinking she had to fix Michael to understanding her job was to accept him and help him do the same. She wanted the world to know he was so much more than the boy who shouted obscenities hundreds of times a day. Because Michele has worked as a journalist for three decades, covering parenting, health, and education for outlets like Parents, Parenting, Elle, USA Weekend, The Washington Post, Brain, Child, and Next Avenue, she was compelled to write about her journey as she was in it, and that close up, honest perspective, blended with ample reporting on Tourette make What Makes Him Tic a compelling and informative read. In this episode, Michele talks with us about the misconceptions about Tourette's that she came across often in her work as a journalist and her private life as a parent. We also talked about what some of the early symptoms were and how they managed them, how differently she and her husband approached the diagnosis and what it took for them to get on the same page, how her son's diagnosis impacted her daughter, and more. Things you'll learn How parenting a child with Tourette syndrome be challenging and isolating, and why is it important to trust your gut and seek appropriate medical care What the most common misconceptions of Tourette are What makes navigating the school system so challenging for children with Tourette Ideas for navigating complex sibling dynamics in a mixed neurotype household How finding a passion or interest can help build self-esteem and provide a sense of belonging for children with Tourette Resources mentioned Michele Turk's website What Makes Him Tic?: A Memoir of Parenting a Child with Tourette Syndrome by Michele Turk Yale Child Study Center Tic and OCD Program Designated Center of Excellence Debbie and Her Husband Derin Talk About Their Journey of Parenting a Differently Wired Child (Tilt Parenting episode) Tourette Association of America Tourette Association Conference (Tic Con) Dr. Robert King Billie Eilish on Living with Tourette Syndrome (Harper's Bazaar) How American Idol's James Durbin Manages Life With Tourette's and Asperger's (Tourette Association of America) Learn more about your ad choices.

It can be difficult to find courage to talk about endometriosis and the effects of the disease on fertility. In this episode, Julie shares: her personal story of how circumstances beyond her control have shown her what her life's path is meant to be and how she has embraced walking it; dealing with the loss of something she may never have; the importance of finding the right people to support you; and how turning to creativity and making beauty in hardship was the catalyst for her business, Anam Cara Clay Goods. Julie Freeman-Mullins is a Tennessee girl at heart, having lived most of her life in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. She has been blessed to journey through life with her husband and best friend, Josh. They have been married since 2012 and have 2 fur babies: Saydi, a yellow lab/pyrenees mix, and Pearl, their sweet cat baby. Julie has had a varied career, mostly in nonprofit work with a concentration in hospitality where she worked as a professional chef for over 15 years.

Most days you can find Julie working as the Volunteer Recruitment and Communications Coordinator with Innisfree Village, an amazing community of folks that has been like a second home for her. And in her spare time, she is also the proud owner of a small business, Anam Cara Clay Goods, where she creates handmade polymer clay jewelry. Her distinct jewelry design gives her the opportunity to share her passion for art while also creating beautiful things for the world to enjoy. It is also a means by which she can give back in meaningful ways, most specifically with raising awareness about the effects of endometriosis and how we can make a positive impact for the millions of women worldwide being affected by this disease. Anam Cara Clay Goods is about more than just the products Julie creates, but the intentional ways she can encourage and empower women to explore their own creativity, to feel good about themselves in their hearts, minds, and bodies, and to believe that-- just like a pair of earrings, we are all better together.

Here's one way to not be okay: run 15,000 miles without years of training beforehand. Rob was smart enough to put in some light exercise such as ultra-marathons first, so he could do it no problem. Plus he got a book out of the experience. It's called Becoming Forrest, because he retraced Forrest Gump's steps across the country.

Eliot and Eric chew over the developments in Ukraine. They consider divisions within and among West European governments, the question of what defeat of Russia and victory for Ukraine means in practical terms, the lingering overestimation of Russian possibilities and underestimation of Ukrainian potential on the battlefield, and the potential role of China providing lethal aid to Russia. They conclude with a discussion about making the U.S. the arsenal of democracy in the West and globally and the use and abuse of historical analogies.

Greatest Hits Episode: Christian Van der Henst: Helping Latin America Learn with Platzi, Ep 155For this week's episode of Crossing Borders, we're revisiting one of our greatest hits episodes featuring Platzi's Christian Van der Henst.How did a curious young web developer from Guatemala become one of the first Latin American entrepreneurs to enter YCombinator? Christian Van der Henst fell in love with the internet in the 90s when he realized he could use it as a tool to communicate with the whole world. He knew he wanted to share his knowledge with people and collaborate with a global tech community long before Latin America's tech revolution even started.Christian is a lifelong entrepreneur, but he didn't realize it until he was studying his Masters in Barcelona while running a massive online platform, Maestros del Web, a proto-Stack Exchange for Latin America, at night. He eventually put his passion for education into Platzi, alongside Colombian co-founder Freddy Vega, and helped grow the company to US$3M in yearly revenue in just four years. In this episode, Christian talks about how he transitioned from Maestros del Web to Mejorando.la (before they rebranded to Platzi), how Platzi became the first startup serving Latinos to enter YCombinator, and why entrepreneurship is so important in Latin America right now.A curious web developer – with 10 million monthly page viewsMaestros del Web, Christian's first real business, started as a pet project for Christian to communicate with and learn from other web developers around the world. In the early days of the internet, the few portals that existed to help web developers solve problems were all in English, and Christian wanted a solution for his local community, too.While the site was a huge success, Christian could barely manage his four person team remotely as he studied for his Master's in Barcelona. He had accidentally built a huge community online – and realized he loved the feeling of bringing people together to talk about tech. Learn how Christian jumped from Maestros del Web to Platzi by befriending a competitor and starting to dream bigger.From 100 audience members to 1200 viewersPlatzi started out as an in person course, until Freddy and Christian realized that almost every attendee (including themselves!) was traveling to join the class. Platzi quickly migrated online, and the first online course had more than twice as many students as the co-founders expected. The server crashed and the first streaming was a failure, says Christian, but the audience was forgiving.Why? Transparency has been a key to Platzi's success from the start. The founders explained their tech problems to their users, fixed them, then kept providing classes. In this episode of Crossing Borders, learn why Christian thinks failing the first live stream made Platzi stronger and more resilient.If you really want something, keep tryingPlatzi was rejected from YCombinator the first time they applied. Christian almost didn't apply again, until a mentor mentioned that he should give it another shot. Platzi is now known for being the first fully Latin American company to enter the accelerator.Christian thinks that every startup should apply for YC, just as an exercise to find out if what they are doing is worth building. He encourages Latino founders to ask for what they want (a tip he's learned from working in San Francisco); in Silicon Valley, trying hard and failing is better than never trying at all.

Many Republicans in the USA feel there is nothing to learn from Scandinavian countries, as they point to the "socialist" countries of Norway and Denmark and argue that capitalism is the better form of Government. The interesting thing is this: Just about all of those Republicans are commenting without having lived in Norway, Denmark or Sweden. Tamara McGee and I talk about our lives in our respective host countries (Norway and Denmark), the good, the bad and the ugly of our experiences, and the difficulty in being heard when discussing racism in Norway and Denmark. We compare it all with our homeland, the USA. Tamara McGee is an American expat and businesswoman living in Denmark.

On March 18, 2021 the Lannan Center presented a Crowdcast webinar on the subject The View From Abroad: "What Can America Learn from the Experience of Other Nations at a Time of Crisis?" This was the launch event of "Beyond Identity: Reimagining the American Narrative," the Lannan Seminars at Georgetown University, and featured Aleksandar Hemon, Monica McWilliams, Ebrahim Rasool, and Elif Shafak. This event was moderated by BBC's Razia Iqbal. Hosted in association with Beyond Conflict and Beyond Borders Scotland. Cosponsored by the Conflict Resolution Program, the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, and the Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics.About the Series “Beyond Identity: Reimagining the American Narrative”Present-day America is suffering from an identity crisis. Americans are raised to believe that democracy, freedom, and opportunity are the values deeply embedded in the nation’s character and practice. Yet, millions of Americans who have spent centuries striving towards equality under the historic burden of racism, dealing with poverty or the absence of opportunity, might beg to disagree. To use a peacemaking approach is to focus on interests rather than positions, to refocus opposing groups on shared goals. But those goals must be grounded in a shared understanding of the past as the anchor to a shared vision for the future. America is at a reckoning point, in need of reappraisal. The standard response to what constitutes American identity has been: “the principles of liberty, equality, individualism, representative government, and private property”. But how does this character composition comport with the demons of her past and present? What is to become America’s new narrative? Of her new, more truthful, identity born of both pride and pain?For more information about this series, please visit our website.Music: Quantum Jazz — "Orbiting A Distant Planet" — Provided by Jamendo.

A billionaire among billionaires, Charles Koch is one of the most powerful men in the world. By all accounts a brilliant businessman, Charles inherited his father’s company when Lyndon B. Johnson was in the White House, and, over decades, has transformed privately held Koch Industries into a massive multinational conglomerate with annual revenues of well over a hundred billion dollars. Since the 1970s, he’s not only reinvested that money in his company, but funneled it into American politics, financing ideas, organizations, and politicians, which together present a carefully engineered attempt to dismantle the regulatory state, and perhaps government itself. And he’s been very successful: Charles Koch, more than anyone else, may epitomize the pervasive influence of money on American democracy. On the final episode of the first season of Who Is, Sean Morrow explores the biography of Charles Koch, and the history of the Koch Network, for a look at how the very, very wealthy seek to control the political process, and what the rest of us can do about it.

Not all global startups were founded in a Silicon Valley garage. OpenEnglish, an online platform for teaching English with over 500,000 students in 40 countries, started in a student apartment in Caracas, Venezuela in 2007. Open English started as in person English classes for Fortune 500 companies’ Latin American offices and morphed online so that it could reach a wider audience. While Andres Moreno understood the importance of speaking English for Latin Americans, he might not have guessed how far OpenEnglish would go. Today, Andres Moreno is the CEO of OpenEducation, the parent company of OpenEnglish, Next U, and OpenEnglish Jr. and has raised over US$125M in venture capital from investors in the US and Latin America. Check out this episode to learn about Andres’ childhood moving around Latin America following his dad’s career, how he got started teaching English, why he picked Miami as a base, and how he has supported Latin American entrepreneurship as an investor, entrepreneur, and mentor. “Once you know it, you can go anywhere” Andres Moreno is talking about the English language. He understood the value of speaking multiple languages as a young age, while following his dad’s diplomatic career across Latin America and the world. He credits English for his effectiveness as a cross-border entrepreneur during the first iteration of OpenEnglish, which he founded right after graduating university. With that knowledge in mind, Andres has built a global company that is by far the leading and best-recognized brand in Latin America for online English teaching. Find out how Andres leveraged the internet in 2007 to bring his business online and scale the reach of his English programs. How to get the attention of angel investors In 2007, an English-teaching business in Venezuela was far from any Silicon Valley investors’ mind. Andres Moreno realized they wouldn’t pay attention to him if he stayed in Caracas, so he went to them. It took a year of sleeping on a friend’s couch, but OpenEnglish eventually raised the capital it needed. But Andres says raising capital in Latin America is still harder than it should be. The capital is there, but the culture of investing in early-stage ventures is still lacking. Find out how Andres convinced investors in the US that his brand was worth building, even in the first few years after the 2008 financial crisis. Miami: Global talent that understands how LatAm works Silicon Valley may be an incredible place to build a startup, but it is also very far away from Latin America. Miami turned out to be a better fit for OpenEnglish due to its close connection to Latin America and strong tech talent. This proximity allows Andres to mentor startups across the US and Latin America because he has seen the firsthand impact of successful entrepreneurs. His businesses have employed thousands of people, and former executives from OpenEnglish have founded 12+ companies. Andres Moreno is a well-recognized face across Latin America for starring in his own homemade commercials for OpenEnglish.

How did a curious young web developer from Guatemala become one of the first Latin American entrepreneurs to enter YCombinator? Christian Van der Henst fell in love with the internet in the 90s when he realized he could use it as a tool to communicate with the whole world. He knew he wanted to share his knowledge with people and collaborate with a global tech community long before Latin America’s tech revolution even started. Christian is a lifelong entrepreneur, but he didn’t realize it until he was studying his Masters in Barcelona while running a massive online platform, Maestros del Web, a proto-Stack Exchange for Latin America, at night. He eventually put his passion for education into Platzi, alongside Colombian co-founder Freddy Vega, and helped grow the company to US$3M in yearly revenue in just four years. In this episode, Christian talks about how he transitioned from Maestros del Web to Mejorando.la (before they rebranded to Platzi), how Platzi became the first startup serving Latinos to enter YCombinator, and why entrepreneurship is so important in Latin America right now. A curious web developer - with 10 million monthly page views Maestros del Web, Christian’s first real business, started as a pet project for Christian to communicate with and learn from other web developers around the world. In the early days of the internet, the few portals that existed to help web developers solve problems were all in English, and Christian wanted a solution for his local community, too. While the site was a huge success, Christian could barely manage his four person team remotely as he studied for his Master’s in Barcelona. He had accidentally built a huge community online - and realized he loved the feeling of bringing people together to talk about tech. Learn how Christian jumped from Maestros del Web to Platzi by befriending a competitor and starting to dream bigger. From 100 audience members to 1200 viewers Platzi started out as an in person course, until Freddy and Christian realized that almost every attendee (including themselves!) was traveling to join the class. Platzi quickly migrated online, and the first online course had more than twice as many students as the co-founders expected. The server crashed and the first streaming was a failure, says Christian, but the audience was forgiving. Why? Transparency has been a key to Platzi’s success from the start. The founders explained their tech problems to their users, fixed them, then kept providing classes. In this episode of Crossing Borders, learn why Christian thinks failing the first live stream made Platzi stronger and more resilient. If you really want something, keep trying Platzi was rejected from YCombinator the first time they applied. Christian almost didn’t apply again, until a mentor mentioned that he should give it another shot. Platzi is now known for being the first fully Latin American company to enter the accelerator. Christian thinks that every startup should apply for YC, just as an exercise to find out if what they are doing is worth building. He encourages Latino founders to ask for what they want (a tip he’s learned from working in San Francisco); in Silicon Valley, trying hard and failing is better than never trying at all. That’s how Platzi has reached US$3M in revenue a year, and still offers free courses on YouTube. Platzi has already become an internationally-recognized brand for online education as they help the Spanish-speaking market become digitally native. The platform is an example of what it means to listen to your local community and build a product for them before launching it globally. Christian Van der Henst is passionate about building entrepreneurial communities in Latin America, and Platzi is just one of the tools helping local entrepreneurs get started across the Spanish-speaking world.

Walmart has long been a target for critics of corporate expansion, but does the company really deserve the scrutiny? Some say that the big-box retailer devastates small communities by pushing out locally-owned businesses, mistreats its workers through low pay and restrictive work hours, and forces American companies to use cheap foreign labor to produce goods at low cost. Others point to the fact that Walmart provides countless jobs to low-skilled American workers, sells affordable goods, has increasingly become a leader in sustainability, and attracts new consumers and businesses to its neighborhoods.

America owes $6 trillion to China, our sprawling military complex often appears helpless against disparate threats abroad, and the War on Terror has stripped us of the moral high ground. Washington is paralyzed by bitter partisanship, our children are falling behind their international peers, and our middle class is no longer the world’s most affluent. But we’ve been warned about America’s decline before. Remember Sputnik? Yes, times are tough, but America is recovering from the Great Recession faster than almost any other advanced country, an energy boom could add billions to the GDP, we’re still a leader in technological innovation, and our military strength and geopolitical advantages remain unrivaled. Are our best days behind us, or should the world still bet on America? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
