One of the 4 Practices of Belonging is Advocacy. In the latest edition of the We Belong Here podcast, we are gracious to explore this topic in detail In 2017, Richard Rothstein published The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America. It clearly spelled out the non-accidental history of racial segregation in the United States. Upon finishing the book, Richard's daughter Leah Rothstein wondered what to do with this information. The answer? A new book published this past June called Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law. Listen to their origin stories, discussions about how change can happen more at the local level than the federal, the importance of Belonging in starting this advocacy work, and clear examples of communities who have already started to advocate for the removal and change of segregation-building laws and policies through relationships. Both authors confessed that they felt more hopeful about collective change upon finishing the research for this book. That should give us all hope that WE can create impactful changes to create the equitable and just world we want for all.

"Center community. And center the synthesizing of multiple viewpoints to create a better outcome. It's all sort of an act of civic and cultural deejaying. Like you're trying to take two sources and bring them together to create a better outcome." - Randy Engstrom This episode explores the intersection of Arts & Culture & Belonging. The US Surgeon General has deemed social isolation and loneliness as a public health epidemic that impacts all of us. He provides 6 pillars to combat this (link here) and the sixth one is Cultivating a Culture of Connection. So how can Arts & Culture provide an antidote to the loss of Belonging and the growing epidemic of isolation? To discuss this topic, we've brought together an amazing trio of guests: Joël Barraquiel Tan, Executive Director of Wing Luke Museum. Leilani Lewis, Associate Director for Diversity Communications & Outreach at the University of Washington Randy Engstrom, Co-Founder & Principal, Third Way Creative They share their origin stories which span across Manila, Hawaii, Detroit, and Chicago. They discussed their previous roles at places like Northwest African-American Museum, Youngstown Cultural Arts Center, and Asian Pacific AIDS Intervention Team Health Centers. They range on topics from anti-fragility, community, and reimaging a new city for all of us.

A topic that has dominated the news cycle in the COVID-19 aftermath is the future of downtowns. A simple google search on this topic will unleash a barrage of news articles about cities big and small across the country. Seattle is no exception. Many of the folks who worked downtown have yet to return to their offices. Many commercial spaces are vacant and retail has been hit hard due to the decrease in foot traffic. So how do we revitalize our downtown corridor? How do we make sure it's a space that welcomes and benefits everyone? To discuss this topic, we've brought together an amazing trio of guests: Yoon Kang O'Higgins, Director of Public Programs at Friends of the Waterfront Seattle Rico Quirindongo, Acting Director of the Office of Planning and Community Development at the City of Seattle Jon Scholes, President & CEO of the Downtown Seattle Association They share their origin stories which span across the Central District, University Place, the Guggenheim Museum, Pike Place Market, St. Louis, New York City, and Oakland. They discussed their favorite aspects of Seattle's downtown (can you guess what they picked?) and then really dug into the future of Downtown Seattle. This discussion ranged from the future impact of the Waterfront, transforming commercial space into residential space, attracting visitors through arts & cultural attractions, and reimaging street-level retail. And throughout the conversation, they held to the ideal of creating a space of Belonging and equity. Join our discussion on the future of downtown Seattle with some of the folks who are most poised to impact it.

Kata messed up and deleted last week's episode, so this week, we're recapping two weeks of NFL football, beginning with some big waiver changes in our teams draft, as we assess some of the grandest surprises of the season so far. After that, Kata and Mike test Mikey C's prior pondering that Russell Wilson is a “big phony” in a debate with compelling evidence, which leads to light existentialism about loneliness and likability, and throw a mini-funeral for Trey Lance. No one wanted to talk about Adam Levine, and that's just fine. *Please don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review, and follow us on all of our social media... @ufrvodcast* Slide into our DMs or shoot us an email to say hi or ask a question: helloufr@gmail.com.

As Civic Commons prepares to launch a major initiative related to Black homeownership, We Belong Here host Frank Nam sat down with three individuals who are already working toward racial and economic equity here in Seattle. The topic: What does home mean to you? And why is homeownership such an important part of financial stability and intergenerational well-being? Our guests this episode: - Andrea Caupain-Sanderson, CEO of Byrd Barr Place - Michelle Merriweather, president and CEO of the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle - Darryl Smith, executive director of HomeSight Along with discussing their work, Andrea, Michelle and Darryl also shared their families' history with homeownership and their personal journey toward owning a home in the Seattle area. “Home to me means stability. It means predictability,” said Andrea, who became a homeowner at age 40. “It offers psychological safety and financial security, but also hope and possibility for others who are looking to dream.” The conversation also addressed the work ahead and why this project will initially focus on Black homebuyers. “If we can figure this out for the African American and the Black community, there are side benefits for all of us,” Darryl said. “If you can help those who are having the largest racial wealth gap, you start to close the gap for a lot of other folks as well.” Thank you again to the Big Phony, a Korean-American singer/songwriter living in Seoul, South Korea for allowing us to his music in our intro and outro, all royalty-free!

Today that guest is Paula Houston (she/her), chief equity officer for UW Medicine in the Office of Healthcare Equity. Paula talks with episode host Frank Nam about how her own experience navigating the health care system as a Black woman and three-time breast cancer survivor motivated her to devote her career to health care equity. A world-champion in powerlifting, Paula also discusses personal and professional moments of belonging and why community engagement is essential to the mission of UW Medicine.  “We're dismantling oppressive systems, and it's going to make it better for everybody,” Paula says. “(At UW Medicine) now we don't just talk about health equity, but we talk about health justice.” During the pandemic, Paula and her team have worked to improve access to testing and vaccines in Seattle's south-end communities and communities of color. A big part of that effort: truly listening to what people have to say. “People have their own agency within communities, and we're there to work with them. They need to lead by telling us what they need, but we really need to listen in a way that we haven't been listening before,” she says. Learn more about Paula in a virtual exhibit from the Gates Foundation Discovery Center called Enduring COVID-19: Stories from our Transforming World. And don't miss the opportunity to engage with her and other speakers during the first installation of Facing Forward, a new Discovery Center program series. The event is on Feb. 17, 2022.  Thank you again to the Big Phony, a Korean-American singer/songwriter living in Seoul, South Korea for allowing us to his music in our intro and outro, all royalty-free!

In this episode we are excited to partner with our friends at The Evergrey to highlight the stories of three small business owners in Seattle. We had some technical difficulties in the production of this podcast so you will notice that one of our guests does not introduce herself in the beginning. This was due to the fact that we had to re-record some of her answers. This episode allows our guests to talk about the importance of recovery and how it impacts small business owners in the region. We are grateful to be joined by Hallie Kuperman, owner of the restaurant Tin Table and the dance hall Century Ballroom ; Laura Clise, owner of small business focused Intentionalist; and Ren Caldwell, owner of community space for movement and connection Strive & Uplift. Our guests talk about some of their favorite businesses that gave them a sense of belonging and what they need from the government and community as we look towards recovery. Listen to our guests as they offer their perspectives as small business owners. It's a delight to be able to share connections and stories with the people who make our region truly unique. 00:55 - Guests introduce themselves (missing Hallie's response due to technical glitches) 1:15 - Laura Clise's short introduction 1:59 - Ren Caldwell's short introduction 3:10 - Frank introduces the question to start - Talk about a business or store growing up where you felt like you really belonged 3:55 - Laura talks about Perché No - a family-run Italian restaurant that closed in December of 2019. 7:57 - Hallie talks about how she can't think of a specific business but talks about growing up in the world of theater starting in high school 9:40 - Ren talks about a martial art studio that taught the Vietnamese style Cuong Nhu and the master of the style's impact on her development 14:00 - Frank asks his guests about the re-opening of Washington state on June 30 and what that can mean for small businesses 15:12 - Ren talks about her mixed feelings around the re-opening of spaces and places.

-Check out our podcast merch: https://teespring.com/stores/uum-store This week we discuss a man who believes he has been possessed with the spirits of great artists that have long been deceased. They seemingly "possess" him and he proceeds to paint wildly, apparently creating new works by the likes of several world renowned artists. Next we talk about the "Investigators" series that Unsolved Mysteries would sometimes profile. This particular segment investigates detectives who monitored online child predators in the 90's. It's a very dated episode because it deals with the phenomenon at the time known as the internet. Phrases like "information superhighway" were definitely used and it's great. After all that Josh whines, bitches and moans in another installment of the Perks of Being a Joshflower. ------------------------------- Uncovering Unexplained Mysteries on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncoveringunexplainedmysteries Twitter: https://twitter.com/UncoveringUm Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1918785078407664/ ------------------------------- For more Mike & Josh, check out their YouTube channels!

In the second episode of 2021, we hear from two guests who discuss the impact of COVID-19 on their lives and their work. Patty Hayes is the Director of Public Health - Seattle & King County. She grew up in Longview, WA and entered the public health world after a career in nursing. Ari Lozano (she/them) is the Program and Development Manager at All Girl Everything Ultimate Program (AGEUP). AGEUP invests in black, indigenous, and people of color youth in South Seattle. Their community is rooted in ultimate frisbee and committed to justice. Our guests share their origin stories and the impact of COVID-19 on their work and lives. Ari talked about how the lack of activity and proximity to friends has upended the young people she works with in South Seattle. The rise in mental health impacts due to the pandemic is something we are seeing quite strongly in young people. Furthermore, there is a current surge of cases for young people in our region now. Patty spoke about the impact on herself and her staff, who have been working 24/7 since our first case in a nursing home in Kirkland back in February of 2020. She also talked at length about the decision for the county to declare that racism was a public health crisis. This is something that the coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated even more in our communities. All our guests shared personal and professional projects towards the end. Ari shared about the upcoming GiveBIG 2021 campaign in early May and asked people to considering donating to the work of AGEUP and to other grassroots organziations, especially those led by BIPOC folks. You can find AGEUP on Instagram at @age_up! Patty shared three things: 1) The renewal of Best Starts for Kids - the only public investment in the entire life-span of young people in the country! 2) The genesis of the UW School of Nursing's Center for Anti-Racism. This center will create what Patty calls "nursing disruptors" who are more able to provide culturally competent care in healthcare systems 3) She is considering formally studying Cosmology (string theory, quantum gravity, etc.) and would love to hear from any local scientists in this field! Thank you to both our guests for this great conversation. Responses for any of these endeavors can be sent to us at f.nam@civic-commons.org. We'll happily forward along any notes to our guests. 0:00 - Introduction - Impact of COVID-19 0:48 - Patty Hayes Self-Introduction 1:11 - Ari Lozano Self-Introduction 1:30 - Ari explains what AGE-UP is 2:20 - Check-in Question Introduction about impact of COVID-19 in the county/city and with young people in South Seattle 3:30 - Ari's response about the impact on her work with young people 5:44 - Frank responds and talks about living in South Korea during the time of COVID-19 and what it's like there 6:42 - Ari talks about how AGEUP has pivoted to work with young folks on-line and how they are doing during this time 9:04 - Frank talks about the importance of proximity and the difficulties in not having that 9:57 - Patty talks about how she hasn't had a break since February 2020 when the pandemic reached Seattle. 11:49 - Current surge of cases in younger people and the emergence of the long haul syndrome of those inflicted by COVID-10 12:40 - Declaration of racism as a public health emergency 13:48 - Hope in focusing on community; to empower them and to address the long-standing racism here in King County 14:17 - Frank talks about the impact of Heather McGhee's Sum of Us book and the impact of white supremacy not just on BIPOC folks but alson on white people themselves 16:00 - The false narrative of zero-sum hurts all of us 16:50 - Ari tells us what she finds hope in - young people themselves and their brilliance and in the vaccine roll-out 18:53 - Frank talks about how Ari herself was a young person that he knew and believed in and it's great to see her continue the work 19:23 - Frank introduces the next segment where guests tell their origin story 19:38 - Patty talks about her childhood and how they moved up the West Coast as her parents looked for quieter and smaller communities.
