Podcast appearances and mentions of beverly kirk

On October 15, Smart Women, Smart Power celebrated its tenth anniversary! The celebration kicked off with a discussion with HON Kathleen H. Hicks, Deputy Secretary of Defense, who sat down with Beverly Kirk, Director of Washington Programs at Syracuse University. The pair discussed her approach to the world's simultaneous challenges, including the Russia-Ukraine crisis and China - plus she takes a lot of questions from the audience.

Only 19% of Americans are satisfied with the current state of the nation and 58% say that life for people like them is worse today than it was 50 years ago, according to an April  survey from Pew Research Center. During an event on “Strengthening Democracy in America,” part of Pew's 75th anniversary celebration, filmmaker Ken Burns, Pew Research Center president Michael Dimock, and Syracuse University professor Beverly Kirk discussed those findings before a live and online audience. The panel highlighted the challenges Americans have faced throughout history, how public opinion and civic engagement influence the perception of our democracy, and how lessons learned from the past can help inform the present and future.

The theme for International Women's Day 2022 is "Gender equality today for a sustainable world tomorrow." Women and girls in the Indo-Pacific region are at the forefront of dealing with the effects of climate affected disasters – from natural disasters to pandemics. They are also leading the charge on disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, mitigation, and response, and building a more sustainable future for all.To celebrate International Women's Day this week, we are presenting two episodes of Contain This. The second is a recording of a special event hosted by the Embassy of Australia in Washington, D.C., in which Australian Ambassador for Regional Health Security Williams was interviewed by Beverly Kirk, the Executive Director of JOURNEY, a new not-for-profit venture that's focused on the goal of seeing more women in senior leadership roles. Beverly and Stephanie discuss how we can support the leadership pipeline for women in public health, and how the pandemic has affected women and girls in the Indo-Pacific. They also discuss how podcasts like Contain This can help give women a voice and lift their stories to wider audiences.We hope you join the conversation @AusAmbRHS Twitter and @AusintheUS Twitter and Facebook.

“Black history should not be a mystery,” says Dr. Trina Jackson. Even though Black Americans have played a crucial role in the development of our country, their accomplishments are purposefully left out of history. In today's episode, DJ D-Rich is joined in conversation with a panel of expert historians to take a deep dive behind Historical Black Towns and their role in American history.  While Oklahoma used to be home to over 50 Historical Black Towns, only 13 remain today. As these important towns continue to decrease, more history is lost. Even though Black Wall Street was the original Wall Street, most American's aren't aware of its existence at all. To preserve Black History and culture, we must focus on spreading awareness, advocating for open educational resources, and economically developing the remaining Black towns.  Tune into this week's episode of Southern Soul Live Stream for an in-depth conversation behind Historical Black Towns. Learn more about the real story behind Black Wall Street, ways we can restore culture in Black towns, and why we must continue to be truth-tellers that advocate for Black History so that one day our ancestors will be fairly honored for their contributions to American history.    Quotes • “Oklahoma was once home to over 50 Black towns. Now, barely 13 remain.” (02:09-02:18 | DJ D-Rich) • “The government and other individuals tried to economically choke those thriving Black towns.” (07:21-07:30 | Dr. Daryl Green) • “Black history should not be a mystery.” (15:25-15:27 | Dr. Trina Jackson)  • “Black Wall Street was the original Wall Street. But unfortunately, we have to assign color to all the amazing things that we have done.” (15:39-15:49 | Dr. Trina Jackson) • “It's very important for all of us to share our history because we are truth-tellers.” (16:13-16:18 | Dr. Trina Jackson)  • “I don't know why we had to wait 100 years, but in 2021, the United States actually recognized the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre.” (17:04-17:14 | Dr. Trina Jackson) • “There are Black towns scattered all throughout the United States right underneath our noses. Towns that we don't even know about.” (27:19-27:29 | DJ D-Rich) • “We have to tell our stories. We cannot sit back and wait for others to do something.” (1:08:13-1:08:17 | Sandra Taitt-Eaddy)    Links Connect with Dr. Daryl Green, Renowned Author/Lecturer, Engineer, Consultant: • Website: https://darylgreen.org/   Connect with Dr. Trina Jackson, Teacher, Author, Curator, Social Entrepreneur: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-trina-jackson-79a37b37/   Connect with Beverly Kirk, M.Ed - Historian Quilter/Fiber Artist: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luvquilt/ Connect with Sandra Taitt-Eaddy, MA President Baobab Genealogy Society, Inc.: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandra-taitt-eaddy-12ba1475/   Connect with Peter Boykin, MA,  Instructor, Historian, Education Consultant: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-boykin-4032263/   Connect with Southern Soul Live Stream: • Want to listen to our next episode live?
