How can leaders turn perceived limitations into strengths?   On Women of Color Rise, I speak with Alia Abbas, Chief of Staff at New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority. With a career spanning Estee Lauder, Warner Bros. Discovery, Prudential, and Citi, Alia has led in strategy, operations, and innovation—proving that disability and faith are not barriers but strengths.   Alia didn't realize she was blind until she was diagnosed in college, thanks to parents who instilled confidence and adaptability. She also made a pivotal choice in her career—to wear a hijab, deepening her connection to her Muslim faith. Though both blindness and belief come with stereotypes, Alia sees them as value-adds in leadership and teams.   Her insights: We are capable – People with disabilities develop adaptability, resilience, and unique problem-solving skills. Diversity strengthens teams – Multi-generational, multi-background, and multi-ability teams drive stronger ideas and outcomes. No ceilings on possibility – Instead of limiting others, empower them to pursue their goals.   Alia's journey is a powerful reminder: Own your identity, use your voice, and lead with confidence.   Thank you, Alia, for sharing your inspiring stories!   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/episode-102-strength-in-blindness-and-faith-with-alia-abbas  

Out of work 18 to 19 year olds may be forced to rely on mum and dad for financial support with the government planning to effectively means test parents of unemployed teenagers before allowing young people to collect a benefit. From July 2027 there will be a parental assistance test for job seekers and emergency benefits. The government said it's a human tragedy that people under 25 on jobseeker support will spend an average of 18 years on the benefit over their lifetimes. The Salvation Army's Director of Social Policy Bonnie Robinson spoke to Lisa Owen.

A bill recently passed by lawmakers in Washington state could open the door for illegal immigrants to receive cash assistance under a program designed to provide housing assistance and other essential items to certain low-income residents unable to work, critics say.The state's Democratic-controlled Legislature last month passed SB 5232, which has been delivered to Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson. The bill updates provisions related to the state's Housing and Essential Needs Referral Program (HEN), which provides assistance to low-income U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents and victims of human trafficking if they can't work due to their physical or mental condition.

In this insightful conversation between Shelley Howard and Elliot Felix, Felix—shares valuable guidance on preparing students not just to enter college but to thrive throughout their college journey and beyond. He emphasizes the importance of community, support systems, and aligning coursework with career goals to maximize the college experience. Elliot breaks down complex academic research into practical strategies, such as setting process-based goals and finding mentors, which significantly improve student outcomes. He candidly addresses the evolving value of college in today's economic landscape, highlighting that success is not guaranteed but can be increased by purposeful engagement and preparation. Elliot also explores how families can decide if college is the right path for their child, emphasizing alternative educational routes and realistic planning. His two books, How to Get the Most Out of College and the forthcoming The Connected College, aim to empower students, families, and institutions to foster environments conducive to student success. Ultimately, Felix advocates a design-thinking approach to life and college, encouraging students to prototype their decisions through exploration, research, and mentorship. HighlightsElliot Felix emphasizes the critical difference between getting into college and truly succeeding once there.Students need a sense of belonging and community to thrive in college.Aligning coursework with career goals through real projects creates meaningful learning experiences.Process-based goals (e.g., completing tasks) outperform vague performance-based goals (e.g., earning a grade).Finding mentors doubles the likelihood students will value their education and succeed professionally.College's worth depends largely on how students engage, not just on where they attend.Viewing college and life decisions as a “prototype” allows for flexible learning and growth.Key InsightsProcess-Based vs. Performance-Based Goals: Elliot underscores research from MIT that process-based goals—clear, actionable steps—are far more effective for student success than vague performance goals tied to outcomes. This approach helps students focus on controllable behaviors, reduces anxiety, and builds momentum.Sense of Belonging as Foundation for Success: A strong peer community is essential. Feeling connected to a group helps students engage more deeply, access support, and overcome challenges, which boosts retention and graduation rates. Colleges should encourage social and academic integration early.Connecting Coursework with Real-World Careers: Elliot highlights the value of projects that simulate or connect to actual career tasks, helping students experiment with potential fields and build relevant experience. This practical application helps make education more relevant and supports future employment.Mentorship Is a Game-Changer: Referencing Gallup studies, Elliot points out that students with mentors are twice as likely to feel their education was worth it and to be engaged in their careers. Mentorship provides guidance, networking, and emotional support critical for navigating college and work life successfully.Reevaluating the Value and Risk of College: Research shows lifetime earnings can be significantly higher for graduates, but only about 60% of students graduate within six years, making college a risky investment for some. Success hinges on preparation, financial planning, and purposeful engagement rather than blind attendance.Expanding the Definition of College: Elliot stresses that college isn't just four-year universities but also includes community colleges, apprenticeships, and boot camps. Different forms of postsecondary education can suit different students' needs, avoiding a “one size fits all” mentality.Design Thinking and Prototyping Life Choices: Viewing decisions about majors, schools, and careers as prototypes to test and refine reduces pressure and increases adaptability. By encouraging exploration and seeking feedback, students can make more informed choices—ultimately leading to greater success.This interview offers parents and students practical, research-backed advice to navigate higher education more effectively while promoting a more holistic and nuanced understanding of what it means to be “college ready.” The blend of research, personal stories, and actionable tips provides a roadmap for making college a transformative and worthwhile experience.Connect with Shellee Howard:WebsiteYouTubeInstagramLinkedInEmail: shellee@collegereadyplan.comWebsiteYouTubeInstagramLinkedInEmail: elliot@connectedcollege.org

The State Department has released a reorganization plan that would usher in significant changes to the way the United States conducts its diplomacy and foreign assistance, at a time of considerable geopolitical change. Proposals by the Trump administration include eliminating or restructuring a number of the Department's longstanding functions, dissolving and/or folding USAID into State, and imposing large budget and staffing cuts. Debates over how to structure and optimize the State Department, and U.S. foreign assistance programs in particular, are nothing new. But important questions remain about these proposals—including how they may interact with Congressional prerogatives; their implications for the conduct of U.S. foreign policy amidst compounding global crises; and, ultimately, whether these changes may herald a more streamlined and effective bureaucracy or undermine U.S. diplomatic power.On May 14, 2025, the Reiss Center on Law and Security and Just Security convened an expert panel to consider these vitally important developments and to unpack what's happening, what's at stake, and what lies ahead. Show Notes: Dani Schulkin, Tess Bridgeman, and Andrew Miller's “What Just Happened: The Trump Administration's Reorganization of the State Department – and How We Got Here” Ambassador Daniel Fried's “The US Government's Self-Harm in Killing RFE/RL” and “Is the U.S. Abandoning the Fight Against Foreign Information Operations?” Hon.

A family is suing Indianapolis Public Schools, alleging a first grader at George Washington Carver Montessori School 87 was seriously injured after repeated bullying. Nonprofits in Indianapolis can now apply for energy assistance from the Office of Sustainability. Lawmakers made several changes this session to how the state delivers services to deaf and hard-of-hearing children. President Donald Trump's proposed budget would cut more than half of the Environmental Protection Agency's funding – that could make it even harder to provide safe drinking water and sanitary sewers to Indiana's rural communities.

Two years ago, Daniel Russel and Blake Berger, senior analysts at the Asia Society Policy Institute, embarked on an ambitious project to bring U.S. and Chinese stakeholders together to speak in a safe, controlled setting about their respective countries' aid strategies in the Global South. This was a big undertaking given how few direct contacts there are today between U.S. and Chinese stakeholders, particularly on a topic like international aid and development that is largely overlooked in the broader Sino-U.S. relationship. But just as they were about to release their final report, Donald Trump upended their project with the decision to effectively halt all U.S. foreign aid. Daniel and Blake join Eric & Cobus to talk about what they learned and how U.S. and Chinese international development assistance are poised to change in the Trump era.

MAL Description: A girl asks Katsuragi Shouta to take a picture of her with Enoshima in the background. Embarrassed by her cuteness, he takes the picture and runs away.

When tech writer Vauhini Vara was struggling to process her sister's death in 2021, she asked an early version of ChatGPT to write about it through an increasingly complex series of prompts. The essays in her collection, “Searches: Selfhood in the Digital Age” build on her conversations with AI, enlisting its help to grapple with what it means to be human when our thoughts, our words — and with them, our very humanity — are filtered through machines. We talk to Vara about how technological capitalism is redefining what it means to be human.

Within hours of the new administration's return-to-office, disorder took over. A foreign aid freeze, a stop-work order, and the dismantling of key foreign aid institutions commenced almost immediately. Gayatri Patel, Senior Fellow with rePROs Fight Back, sits down to talk with us about glimmers of hope for protecting this foreign assistance funding and relevant agencies, as well as how we can prepare for the realistic, long-term impacts of these attacks.  The assault on foreign assistance funding by the new administration—which includes the blocking of U.S. foreign assistance funding, including for development programs, humanitarian programs, and multilateral assistance—has led to the loss of food services, antiviral medications, and vaccines, among other things. This has resulted in severe harm and death. In addition, the dismantling of institutions, including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the loss of funding and support for multiple UN agencies, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), will result in continued, long-term impacts on both U.S. and international programming. You might be interested in the Public Health is Dead podcast: https://www.publichealthisdead.com/ 9o03Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!
