Against! is the first book-length study of Afro-Caribbean and African immigrant and second-generation writing in the United States. In it, Asha Jeffers evaluates the relationship between Blackness and immigranthood in the US as depicted through the recurring theme of rebellious Black immigrant daughters. Considering the work of Paule Marshall, Edwidge Danticat, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Taiye Selasi, Jeffers untangles how rebellion is informed by race, gender, ethnicity, and migration status. Immigrant and second-generation writers mobilize often complicated familial relationships to comment on a variety of political, social, and psychic contexts. Jeffers argues that rather than categorizing Black migrants as either immediately fully integrated into an African American experience or seeing them as another category altogether that is unbound by race, Marshall, Danticat, Adichie, and Selasi identify the unstable position of Black migrants within the American racial landscape. By highlighting the diverse ways Black migrants and their children negotiate this position amid the dual demands of the respectability politics imposed on African Americans and the model-minority myth imposed on immigrants, Jeffers reveals the unsteady nature of US racial categories. Asha Jeffers is Associate Professor in the Department of English, Gender and Women's Studies at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Jordan sits down with spiritual teacher Asha Nayaswami, for a rich conversation on the power of vibration, magnetism, and divine guidance. Asha shares powerful insights on how thoughts are not created but received, likening our minds to radio receivers tuned into universal frequencies. She speaks on the importance of aligning with higher vibrations through meditation, devotion, right action, and selfless service. Drawing from her decades of experience, she opens up about the real mechanics behind manifestation and energy, clarifying that true magnetism is not about shortcuts or surface-level affirmations, but about the deep vibrational quality of our consciousness. From grief and spiritual connection with loved ones who have passed, to the chaos of modern relationships, Asha offers grounded wisdom on how we can shift our awareness toward light, even when darkness surrounds us. She explains how spiritual abundance, whether financial, emotional, or relational, begins with gratitude and presence, with doing the very best we can with what we have now. With clarity, humor, and depth, this episode challenges the surface-level ideas of spirituality and invites us all to consider: What frequency am I living on, and what might happen if I tuned into something higher?

I am at that age when I see more deaths than births.   And, for some esoteric reason, such news arrives either as an early morning call - these are shriller, as if recognizing the weight of the tragedy -  or as a message deep in the night - when the night lights up with the neon glow of a phone which refuses to predict the darkness it predates.   And I skip a heartbeat. And the news seeps in. And then it takes a while to reconcile with a world with one loved one less.   Mansi's grandmother lost her husband six years back, and broke her back in a fall thereafter. Then an intractable disease made her lose her vocal chords. Then she lost her son a couple of years back to cancer. That really broke her. She became completely reliant on others. Deep inside she could not decide what was worse - losing her life partner, her son or face a future completely at the behest of others. She pondered killing herself. But she couldn't reach a fan and was just too weak to slide a razor across her arteries.   I met her about once a month. She was small in her bed, but her eyes shone ferociously, even as she gently caressed my cheek.   And when she died a few days back, she left behind a primer on things the bereaved needed to do, and not do, after her death.   She'd written -   "No one will give me a bath or change my clothes after I die. No one will touch the feet of my dead body. That's not me. I have gone. The mourning will not last beyond the time I'm consumed by the flames. Life has to go on and become normal immediately. Everything I own will be donated to the Marwari Widows Society, including my zari sarees and my mangalsutra (please note). Don't make my room a shrine. Remove all traces of me. I would hate to have my photograph put up with a sad garland. Give my room to Sandesh. He needs a bigger one, what with him getting married and all. Remove that rickety cupboard. And that infernal painting by Asha that I've suffered for so many years. Don't put my dead body in an electric crematorium. Burn it on a wooden pyre. Do wait for my ashes. And my last request. In time, take the ashes to the mangroves of Sunderbans. Not the sea, but the rivulets. And scatter them amongst the magnificent roots. I like the idea of vexing the roots a bit before floating into the infinity of the sea.  If possible, can you do this in the monsoon? Then you will remember me as rain, someone who nourished you, teased you, but cherished life, and knew when to fade gracefully, leaving no traces behind, apart from freshly-hewn leaves."   And I know as I know myself, that we might lose the final shred of our faculties, but we will hold onto the last vestiges of our dignity.   Beyond the fug of appearances and compulsions, lies the burning presence of identity - often merely the idea of it - which we hold on to as a hungry dog holds onto a sliver of meat against hungry predators.   And we are all better people when we learn to embrace this reality of everyone we love, and those who love us.   If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems on death and other passing ons -  Sometimes Life Leaves You Alone Assisted Suicide I Heard That You Just Set Off On a Journey Subscribe to my newsletter 'The Uncuts' Follow me on Instagram at @sunilgivesup Get in touch with me on uncutpoetrynow@gmail.com   The details of the music used in this episode are as follows - Lonely bird instrumental by Sascha Ende Link: https://filmmusic.io/en/song/Lonely bird instrumental Licence:  https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

What did they get right? Where did the show veer too far from the books? And most importantly—what can be done to realign the weaves? Join us as we rant, rave, and speculate—all in good fun and with deep love for the series.

Hi Loyal Readers. Thank you for opening this week's issue of Article Club.Today's issue is dedicated to my interview with Gideon Lewis-Kraus, author of this month's featured article, “The End of Children.” I hope you read the article and take a listen to the interview.Yes: This article is about the imminent worldwide population implosion — in other words, how by the end of this century, we're going to start losing people, and fast, and how the human race might inevitably go extinct sooner rather than later.And yes: I was surprised when I found myself interested in this topic. After all, before reading this piece, I would have said two things: (1) Um, isn't climate change what we should be worrying about? and (2) Doesn't this inexorably lead to “childless cat ladies” and The Handmaid's Tale?But let me tell you: The magic of Mr. Lewis-Kraus's writing and reporting, alongside the spirit of Article Club — which encourages us to build our empathy — got me to rethink my perspective on the plummeting human fertility rate.And this was all before getting to talk to the author himself. As you know, one of my favorite things about Article Club is that writers generously say yes to talking with us. The same was true with Mr. Lewis-Kraus. Here's a photo of him, so you know what he looks like, and then I'll write a bit about what I appreciated about our interview.It was wonderful to meet Mr. Lewis-Kraus. More than what's typical in these Article Club interviews, we talked about writing and craft. A significant part of our conversation was about how he structured and organized the piece.His thoughtfulness was apparent right from the beginning of our conversation. I loved learning how he decided to write the story in the first place and why he chose South Korea as his case study of population collapse. Some people told Mr. Lewis-Kraus that South Korea and its 0.7 fertility rate was “played out” and “a cliché,” but nobody from a major magazine had spent time in the country, he said. I was personally grateful that Mr. Lewis-Kraus took significant space in his article reporting from South Korea. If you want to gain a better appreciation of how serious the problem is there, I encourage you to watch this 15-minute video, recommended by loyal reader Peter.I was also impressed with Mr. Lewis-Kraus's awareness of his readers as he drafted the piece. He understood, for example, that his audience (aka subscribers of The New Yorker) are astute readers who mostly lean progressive and who may believe that population decline is a problem only in some countries, like Italy and Japan. Rather than skirting this issue, Mr. Lewis-Kraus decided to tackle it head on:What I realized was, Everyone is going to feel like they've read this story before — like, everyone is going to feel like they've heard this. And so the major thing that I need to do upfront is say to people, essentially directly address the reader, and say, like, You sophisticated reader might think that you know what's going on here, but you don't know what's going on here.Later in our conversation, I asked Mr. Lewis-Kraus how he makes sure not to get ahead of his readers — on the one hand respecting their knowledge, but on the other hand acknowledging that they haven't spent hundreds of hours reporting and thinking about this issue, as he has. I found his answer to be humble. Part of what, what doing this job is, is it's starting knowing nothing about something and then very quickly learning as much as you can — without forgetting what it felt like to know nothing about it.More than anything else, I left this conversation with deep respect of Mr. Lewis-Kraus and his process as a writer. As I've said many times over the years, while I can recognize the highest-quality writing when I read it, I still don't understand how writers are able to pull it off. That's maybe one reason I keep doing this newsletter — so that I can continue to explore this question and share my findings with you. Thank you very much for joining me on this journey.An invitation to our discussion on July 27I warmly invite you to participate in our discussion on Sunday, July 27, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We'll meet on Zoom. You can sign up below, it's free.Thank you for reading and listening to this week's issue. Hope you liked it.

The discussion opened with insights from Amy Edmondson and Brené Brown, highlighting how trust is built incrementally through "micro moments" and the critical role of vulnerability. Asha shared a powerful personal anecdote of how her vulnerability during a challenging period in Bangladesh fostered deep team connection and enabled significant professional achievements. The conversation then expanded to practical strategies, including The Elevate School's CBI (Credibility, Benevolence, Integrity) framework for assessing and building trust. They also tackled the unique challenges of cultivating trust in today's unpredictable, hybrid work environments, emphasizing the paramount importance of a leader's consistent "presence." Finally, Smita and Asha offered actionable takeaways for both new and seasoned leaders to continuously strengthen trust, underscoring that a truly trustworthy leader models the desired behaviors and fosters a culture of open communication, accountability, and genuine human connection. Key Takeaways and Learnings: Trust as the Foundation of Teamwork: Trust is the "invisible thread" and "oxygen" that creates psychologically safe spaces, enabling individuals to be authentic, take risks, and foster high-performing collaboration.Micro Moments Build Macro Trust: Trust is not built through grand gestures but through consistent, small, daily interactions and acknowledgments, as highlighted by Brené Brown's "sliding door moments."The Power of Vulnerability (When Appropriate): Leaders' vulnerability, when coupled with steadiness and appropriate timing, fosters deeper connections and relatability. Asha's personal story exemplified how accepting help during a vulnerable time transformed her leadership journey and built immense trust.The CBI Framework for Trust: A robust framework for assessing and building trust involves:Credibility & Competence: Demonstrating knowledge, skills, and the ability to effectively fulfill responsibilities, proving you "walk the talk."Benevolence: Showing genuine care and concern for team well-being, consistency in kind actions, taking responsibility, and ensuring people feel seen and supported.Integrity: Maintaining consistency between words and actions, adhering to ethical principles, honesty, and giving credit where it is due.Consistency is Non-Negotiable: For all aspects of trust-building, consistency in a leader's behavior is vital for dependability and to avoid confusion or mistrust within the team.Strategic Presence in Hybrid Work: In remote or hybrid settings, maintaining a leader's "presence" (even virtually) is crucial for building trust, fostering connection, and ensuring team members feel engaged and not isolated. This requires intentional check-ins and empathetic communication.Tailored Trust-Building Approaches:For New Leaders: Focus on humility, active listening, observing, showing genuine respect for existing structures, and thoughtfully offering input that supports rather than overshadows.For Seasoned Leaders: Leverage immense wisdom and experience by continuing personal growth, learning, and adapting to new viewpoints and generations, becoming profoundly inspiring through evolving relevance.Indicators of High-Trust Teams: Teams with strong trust exhibit candid and respectful conversations, open sharing of diverse opinions, shared ownership of mistakes, reduced politics, increased collaboration, and a clear focus on collective goals.Practical Steps for Strengthening Trust: Regular practices include checking in personally (beyond just tasks), recognizing efforts and planning (not just outcomes), modeling accountability by owning mistakes, and leading with consistent, thoughtful intention. "Cultural listening" – observing subtle team dynamics – offers powerful insights.Model the Desired Behavior: The most effective way for leaders to build trustworthiness is to embody the behaviors they wish to see in their team, setting the "tone at the top" through their actions rather than just words. #LeadershipTrust #EcoSystemicLeadership #TeamBuilding #VulnerabilityInLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplaceCulture #CBITrust #OrganizationalDevelopment #HighPerformingTeams #CoachingCulture #EmployeeEngagement #FutureOfWork #AshaMinion #TheElevateSchool

Hi there, and welcome back to the Autism Little Learners podcast! I'm Tara Phillips, and today I'm joined by speech-language pathologist Alexandria Zachos for an amazing conversation all about Gestalt Language Processing. We talk about how our understanding of language development has evolved, the real struggles around prompt dependence, and why a child-led approach is so important—especially for Gestalt language processors. Alexandria shares so many helpful insights, including how we can better support these communicators by building authentic connections and honoring all the ways they express themselves. Whether you're a therapist, teacher, or parent, this episode is packed with practical strategies to encourage spontaneous language and support meaningful communication. I'm so excited for you to hear this one! Takeaways Gestalt Language Processing is a natural way of developing language. Many SLPs are unaware of Gestalt Language Development despite its long history. Prompt dependence often stems from traditional teaching strategies. Child-led therapy is essential for fostering spontaneous communication. Silence can be a powerful tool in therapy sessions. Acknowledging all forms of communication builds trust with children. Using a child's Gestalt can enhance engagement and communication. Therapists should focus on the child's interests to promote language use. It's never too late to shift from prompt dependence to child-led approaches. Building authentic relationships is key to effective communication. Bio Alexandria Zachos is the founder, clinical director, owner, and senior speech-language pathologist with Social Butterfly Inc. and Meaningful Speech® She has been a practicing SLP for 21 years and has worked extensively with gestalt language processors since 2016, utilizing Blanc's Natural Language Acquisition protocol. She educates SLPs, parents, and related professionals through her social media platforms, podcasts, blogs, and her internationally acclaimed courses on http://Meaningfulspeech.com/.

Expert Panel: Amy Hobek, PhD, CCC-SLP, Fé González Murray, EdD, CCC-SLP, Vishnu KK Nair, Archie Soelaeman, Betty Yu and Reem KhamisTake ACTION HERE: Changes to 2020 certification standards feedback. Survey. (n.d.). https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2020_Cert_ChangesThis episode will be available for 0.1 ASHA CEU on July 2Correction Note from Dr. Betty: “During the recording I referred to the executive order targeting associations with assets of $500 million or more. I thought ASHA met that criteria but actually ASHA's net assets are around $174 million.”In this episode, Michelle and Erin host an all start line up of colleagues from across the globe to discuss ASHA's Proposed Changes to the “2020 Certification Standards” and the long-term ramifications that these changes could have for our profession. This conversation is timely in that there are only a matter of days, roughly 3 weeks or less, for audiologists and speech-language pathologists (including students) to write in and advocate to ASHA on whether the proposed changes to the 2020 Certification Standards should be accepted… changes that remove key words and language that were hard fought to obtain. Be informed that this conversation does address political rationale behind the changes and offer a plethora of resources for individuals to grow their knowledge regarding the long-term ramifications of these proposed changes… but it ends with resources on how to make your voice heard!

“Delicious, decadent, and utterly diabolical. No one serves up a scandal like Asha Elias,” writes author Kirsten Miller about this writer, mother, and reluctant socialite. Asha's acclaimed debut novel, Pink Glass Houses, is a seductive social satire about the wealthy PTA moms of an elite elementary school in Miami Beach. We read it and loved it. Her much-anticipated second novel, The Namaste Club is another delicious page-turner about rich people behaving badly, set among the wellness industrial complex, rich ladies doing yoga, and all things fabulous and Florida. It drops next month with a third in the pipeline as part of a multi-book deal with HarperCollins. Asha graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in print journalism then, fresh out of college, landed at Ocean Drive Magazine, where she spent a decade in ad sales and promotion, becoming intimately familiar with the crazy underbelly of the singular South Beach scene. During this time she became an accomplished yogi. When her first child arrived, Asha opted to be a stay-at-home mom for a few years. Until the lifelong itch to write her first novel became too strong to ignore. Asha has contributed to Cosmopolitan magazine and is currently the sex and dating columnist for Miami New Times. She lives with her family in Miami Beach, Florida.Have a Swan Dive to share?

As Keeanga puts it: "The pressing question is how we went from twenty-six million people on the streets to a fascist in the White House?” We must urgently build organizations and movements that meet the moment as both popular resistance and authoritarian repression intensify.
