Today's Summer School episode from the IBI Archive is episode 2 with architect, designer, and scholar, Dr. Mabel O. Wilson. Doing double duty as a Professor of Architecture and as Associate Director of the Institute for Research in African American Studies, both at Columbia University, Dr. Wilson is not your traditional designer of buildings. Her trans-disciplinary practice extends well beyond the built environment into the worlds of curation, performance, art, and cultural history.We discuss how Mabel's problems fitting in as a young architect led to designing her own path to success (5:40), her advice for young architectural students (9:00), what Beyonce stole from her (21:30), the ways in which design and structures have been used to create the concepts of both blackness and whiteness (26:26), the radical change needed for an equitable America (32:27), the invisibility of Black women (35:00) and how mass incarceration not only tied a generation of Black men to a failing capitalist state, but left a generation of Black women without partners (49:40).Links we mention in the episode:Mabel's Instagram: @studio_andHer new book: Race and Modern Architecture: A Critical History from the Enlightenment to the Present Thank you for tuning in!

#41 The Importance of a Mentor: How to Last in Special EducationBecause you are listening to this podcast, I can assume that your career somehow involves education. And I can assume that because you work in the field of education that you know the crisis our profession faces right now with the low numbers of teachers graduating from college and the high attrition rates education faces as a whole...But if you are a special education teacher or work within the field at all... you probably feel this crisis hitting you smack dab in the face it on a daily basis. The problem, of course, is burnout.In fact..a study I read suggests that the turnover rate for special educators is 25% every year.And I think we would be hard pressed to find anyone who works within this field to say they haven't at least considered leaving the profession. But who can blame them...who can blame us.. for burning out. Anyone would if they had to deal with intense feelings of isolation that some teachers feel, of not having enough time in the day to do the level of work they can feel good about on top of the ridiculous amount of paperwork, sometimes a total lack of affirmation for their hard work or support dealing with extreme behaviors that we don't feel adequately prepared to deal with. The stories we hear from educators about leaving teaching are consistent and heartbreaking.  So, as a LIFER I have often wondered what is was within me or within other teachers who have stayed the course so long that kept us going year after year after year.The other day I came across a teacher named Brandie Emmitt and I realized she had been in the game as long as I had. And she was doing some of the same things as me as far as mentoring other teachers, providing training on how to be an effective teacher and just supporting other teachers in general...So I reached out to her and asked if she would come on to the show to share about what it takes to last in this profession.Listen in as Brandie talks about What it takes to be a good special education teacherWhy she comes back year after year What schools and administration can do to retain good special education teachers andHer one piece of advice for staying the course and making a 30+ year career out of thisMentioned in the Show...What's Your Special Educator Superpower QuizThe Intentional IEP Summer PD SeriesYou can find Brandie hereWebsiteFind her on Facebook @newteachersupportAnd on Instagram @learn2teachwithbrandieYou can also learn more with BrandieLearn to write and run IEPs in half the time like a PRO!Membership community for special education teachers

We have a brilliant episode for you this week with the renown entrepreneur and Shark Tank investor Naomi Simson. Given these unprecedented times, this is just the tonic we needed and we think you will love her too. On the topic of COVID-19, wherever you’re listening to us from, we hope you’re safe and well and not doing it too tough. Please know that you are not alone, #weareinthistogether . As you’ll hear in this episode, Naomi has some great thoughts for what leaders and businesses need to be thinking about. Nearly 20 years ago, Naomi took her savings and founded her online business ‘RedBalloon’ when she was a Mum of two small children. The site she built is an aggregator of a vast variety of experiences that people can buy vouchers for from thousands of tourism and adventure operators around Australia and NZ, and they’re expanding internationally as well. Today the ‘Big Red Group’ has 5 separate businesses under its umbrella with revenue over $70 million and literally millions of experiences sold to date. Thousands of small businesses rely on her company to deliver them customers, a big deal normally and an even bigger one now with COVID-19. Naomi is also well known for sharing her positivity and business wisdom as a keynote speaker and author or two books. In this episode you’ll hear Naomi talk about:How she’s feeling in these uncertain times and how she’s coping with COVID 19 consequencesHer experience of stepping out of her business after splitting from her husband, only to later secretly buy back the companyWhat Naomi looks for when startups are pitching to her for investment Why you’ll always see her wearing something red, andHer advice to you in these times of uncertainty.So stay safe, get comfy, and enjoy this episode with the super positive and impressive Naomi Simson. One final note from us, given our leadership development business has understandably lost revenue, we’ve decided it’s timely to trial one or two ads at the beginning or end of each episode whilst taking great care not to damage your listening experience. This is a way to help us with all the hours we spend on bringing each episode to you. Thank you for being part of our community. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

नागपंचमी आई। साठे के जिन्दादिल नौजवानों ने रंग-बिरंगे जॉँघिये बनवाये। अखाड़े में ढोल की मर्दाना सदायें गूँजने लगीं। आसपास के पहलवान इकट्ठे हुए और अखाड़े पर तम्बोलियों ने अपनी दुकानें सजायीं क्योंकि आज कुश्ती और दोस्ताना मुकाबले का दिन है। औरतों ने गोबर से अपने आँगन लीपे और गाती-बजाती कटोरों में दूध-चावल लिए नाग पूजने चलीं। साठे और पाठे दो लगे हुए मौजे थे। दोनों गंगा के किनारे। खेती में ज्यादा मशक्कत नहीं करनी पड़ती थी इसीलिए आपस में फौजदारियॉँ खूब होती थीं। आदिकाल से उनके बीच होड़ चली आती थी। साठेवालों को यह घमण्ड था कि उन्होंने पाठेवालों को कभी सिर न उठाने दिया। उसी तरह पाठेवाले अपने प्रतिद्वंद्वियों को नीचा दिखलाना ही जिन्दगी का सबसे बड़ा काम समझते थे। उनका इतिहास विजयों की कहानियों से भरा हुआ था। पाठे के चरवाहे यह गीत गाते हुए चलते थे: साठेवाले कायर सगरे पाठेवाले हैं सरदार और साठे के धोबी गाते: साठेवाले साठ हाथ के जिनके हाथ सदा तरवार। उन लोगन के जनम नसाये जिन पाठे मान लीन अवतार।। गरज आपसी होड़ का यह जोश बच्चों में मॉँ दूध के साथ दाखिल होता था और उसके प्रदर्शन का सबसे अच्छा और ऐतिहासिक मौका यही नागपंचमी का दिन था। इस दिन के लिए साल भर तैयारियॉँ होती रहती थीं। आज उनमें मार्के की कुश्ती होने वाली थी। साठे को गोपाल पर नाज था, पाठे को बलदेव का गर्रा। दोनों सूरमा अपने-अपने फरीक की दुआएँ और आरजुएँ लिए हुए अखाड़े में उतरे। तमाशाइयों पर चुम्बक का-सा असर हुआ। मौजें के चौकीदारों ने लट्ठ और डण्डों का यह जमघट देखा और मर्दों की अंगारे की तरह लाल आँखें तो पिछले अनुभव के आधार पर बेपता हो गये। इधर अखाड़े में दॉँव-पेंच होते रहे। बलदेव उलझता था, गोपाल पैंतरे बदलता था। उसे अपनी ताकत का जोम था, इसे अपने करतब का भरोसा। कुछ देर तक अखाड़े से ताल ठोंकने की आवाजें आती रहीं, तब यकायक बहुत-से आदमी खुशी के नारे मार-मार उछलने लगे, कपड़े और बर्तन और पैसे और बताशे लुटाये जाने लगे। किसी ने अपना पुराना साफा फेंका, किसी ने अपनी बोसीदा टोपी हवा में उड़ा दी साठे के मनचले जवान अखाड़े में पिल पड़े। और गोपाल को गोद में उठा लाये। बलदेव और उसके साथियों ने गोपाल को लहू की आँखों से देखा और दॉँत पीसकर रह गये। दस बजे रात का वक्त और सावन का महीना। आसमान पर काली घटाएँ छाई थीं। अंधेरे का यह हाल था कि जैसे रोशनी का अस्तित्व ही नहीं रहा। कभी-कभी बिजली चमकती थी मगर अँधेरे को और ज्यादा अंधेरा करने के लिए। मेंढकों की आवाजें जिन्दगी का पता देती थीं वर्ना और चारों तरफ मौत थी। खामोश, डरावने और गम्भीर साठे के झोंपड़े और मकान इस अंधेरे में बहुत गौर से देखने पर काली-काली भेड़ों की तरह नजर आते थे। न बच्चे रोते थे, न औरतें गाती थीं। पावित्रात्मा बुड्ढे राम नाम न जपते थे।

Today's episode is with transformation coach, soul guide and spiritual teacher, Kiera Noelle.
