Pastor Lena L. Middleton has been married to Eric for over 23 years. They have two children, Erica (23, University of Cincinnati) and Lawrence (22, Tuskegee University). Lena earned her B.S. in Organizational Leadership and her M.A. in Applied Sociology. With a passion for higher education, Lena spent several years as a leader in collegiate Student Affairs and teaching as an adjunct faculty member for local Indiana colleges. She also spent several years matriculating through the Higher Education Administration Doctoral program before accepting God's call to leave the formal education setting and serve in healthcare. As a result of that calling, Lena joined senior leadership ranks for a healthcare organization whose focus was caring for the senior citizens of Indianapolis. Lena led and was charged with launching multiple clinical sites in the Indianapolis region. The opportunities helped to shape Lena's view on leadership. She was the first African American female to serve in senior leadership within the country-wide organization. Lena is a licensed and ordained minister who was called to plant and pastor New Spiritual Life Christian Church, where she is committed to preaching, teaching, and following the Great Commission. With a community focus, Lena has fostered partnerships with other local pastors in events such as the Christian Debutante Cotillion, Youth Bible Institute, Peace Walks, 12 for 2 Preaching Explosion, and more. She has recently served on non-profit boards such as College Mentor for Kids, National Student Services Association, and the Northeast Corridor Faith Based Consortium Chair. Lena continues to work passionately through ministry in New Spiritual Life. However, she and her husband Eric's entrepreneurial efforts do not end with the church house. They are also one of few African American couples in Indianapolis to own and operate a thriving semi-trucking and real estate firm. Lena's overall goal with these various platforms is to set a touchable example as she and Eric work to help other families design their roadmap to success.

For this month's podcast episode, we will be discussing food insecurity's impact on mental health, how the pandemic is driving food insecurity amongst ethnic minorities in low-income communities, and how to find resources to alleviate food insecurity in your community.   Knowing the signs and symptoms of someone suffering from mental health issues such as bipolar, depression, and suicidal ideation can save a life and build a community. For an in-depth discussion with experts in the field, don't miss our upcoming podcast. NiEtta will host our podcast to help us understand the effect that food scarcity has on mental health in demoralize communities. This podcast aims to spread awareness with regards to mental health, community, and how marginalized communities can get the help they need.

Emma is your friendly dating and mating coach. After a decade of social work practice, Emma transitioned her work to life coaching, creating her business Dating, Mating, & More. She's on a mission to help people love their life, love themselves, and love somebody else. When she's not coaching, you can usually find Emma running slowly but surely, watching The Bachelor, or cross-stitching something pretty. She currently lives in Pittsburgh with her sweetheart Vinnie, her beagle Murphy, and her kitty Minerva. She also has a Bachelor's in Social Work, a Masters in Applied Sociology, and completed her Life Coach training at the Beautiful You Coaching Academy. During her time in social services, Emma served over 3,500 people while working at a crisis line, guided people as a case manager in shelters and courtrooms, and led healthy relationship groups for men and women. This is a very reflective time for people in general with people sheltering in place for COVID-19 and processing very painful and very important conversations around systemic oppression. For me, this summer has felt particularly reflective because it marks 10 years since I graduated from college. So, I've been asking myself what are the biggest lessons I've had personally and what I've learned about serving other people - helping them transform their lives, feel better, and create healthy, happy relationships.

Jamie Gordon is a social scientist and consultant whose body of work includes a couple of decades worth of insights and strategies that have been put into action by a global community of brands, corporations and the agencies that serve them. With a B.A. in Anthropology and a M.A. in Applied Sociology both from the University of Central Florida, Jamie has extensively implemented ethnography in the marketing industry as a brand and innovation strategist reaching out to clients through human and cultural insights, storytelling and futuring. Among the many clients she worked with are: The Coca Cola Company, Powerade, Cambell's Soup, Heineken, Unilever, Ford, Google and EBay. Jamie considers turning insights and strategic implications into empathetic narratives that motivate behavior change to be her main mission. Jamie takes us through her journey of becoming a cultural strategist working for the biggest corporate names – a path, she says, that her younger self would not have imagined. Yet she is loving every bit of it and is sharing with us her enthusiasm for the job she does in which ethnography is her main tool to make a difference. How did Jamie move from research to innovation? A social scientist has the rare ability to become a practitioner of many tools and marketing can be the place where we can actually change the world in many ways, says Jamie. She shares examples of how has she managed to bring humanity into business and what methods she relies on to get her insights to have a real impact. We talk about the power of storytelling and the potential of anthropology. *at the time of this recording, Jamie was a freelance strategist.  In February 2020 she joined the amazing team at The Mighty Shed.Mentioned in Podcast:EPIC, https://www.epicpeople.org/         Consumer culture theory, https://www.facebook.com/groups/213134458706536/AC Nielsen, https://www.nielsen.com/be/en/The Soulful Project, https://thesoulfullproject.com  Social Media:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandsherpa/Twitter: https://twitter.com/thebrandsherpa?lang=en
