Our guest today is a photographer who takes some stunning photos of wildlife. We're very excited to speak with Michael Kurtz (Tasunka Opi). He's Sicangu Lakota, enrolled in the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. He runs Lakota Photography, blending wildlife photography, tracking, and cultural education. He's also a naturalist and has volunteered with groups like the National Park Service and Project Coyote. He has spent countless hours across the Dakotas, Minnesota, and beyond, capturing wildlife in its natural habitat. Currently, he's supervisor of programming and interpretation with Hoċokata Ṫi Cultural Center at the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux community. Michael's first camera was a Fisher Price kid's model, which he used to photograph toy dinosaurs. That early interest, paired with a love of the natural world, laid out his life's path as a wildlife photographer and naturalist. He gives us his photography tips, weighs in on camouflage and scenting, reveals the once-in-a-lifetime wildlife shot he still can't believe he got and explains why he's putting off photographing a wolverine till retirement. He also talks birding and attempts his favorite birdcall.-----Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo Editor: Britt Aamodt Editorial support: Emily Krumberger Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood Michael Kurtz [photo credit: Michael Kurtz] -----For the latest episode drops and updates, follow us on social media. instagram.com/ampersradio/instagram.com/mnnativenews/ Never miss a beat.

Dr. Stephanie J. Wong & David Mura discuss his new book, Exit, Miss Saigon, which explores the evolution of his understanding of his racial identity as a Japanese American man. Specifically, he has ended friendships with White artists due to their differing perspectives on the Miss Saigon casting. He also credits his friendships with BIPOC artists for helping him gain a different insight into racial identity. As an activist, David formed an Asian American arts organization. ========================================== Full Bio: David Mura is an award winning Japanese American author. His memoirs, poems, essays, plays and performances have won wide critical praise. The topics range from contemporary Japan to the legacy of the internment camps and the history of Japanese Americans in increasing American diversity. His work reflects deeply on the world's current events, which at times create spaces of division and unrest. His new book. Exit Miss Saigon, though not a memoir, is deeply autobiographical. It tells how David transformed from what could be termed a "banana"—yellow on the outside, white on the inside—into an Asian American writer. This transformation involved breaking up with white artist friends over the racism in Miss Saigon; it involved building a local Asian American arts organization and connecting with Asian American artists nationwide.

387: Seven Graduate School Myths That Hold Students Back

Grad School Femtoring

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 31, 2026 29:58

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I unpack seven common graduate school myths that can leave students questioning their abilities, belonging, support systems, timelines, and career prospects. These myths can be especially harmful for historically excluded students—including those who are first-generation, BIPOC, disabled, neurodivergent, chronically ill, parenting, caregiving, and nontraditional students—who are navigating uneven access to resources and insider knowledge. I explain why graduate school success depends on learned skills, supportive relationships, and sustainable practices rather than intelligence, independence, constant productivity, or a perfectly linear path. You will also learn how to treat struggle as information, build a broader support team, ask for help before challenges become a crisis, account for your changing capacity, and begin exploring career possibilities before the final year of your program. In this episode, you will learn: Why academic confidence often reflects prior exposure, resources, mentorship, and insider knowledge How to interpret struggle as information about the support, accommodations, strategies, or rest you may need Why one advisor cannot meet every need and how a broader support team can fill important gaps How to ask for help by sharing relevant context, explaining what you have tried, and making a specific request Why rest, revised timelines, pauses, and redirection can all be part of a successful graduate journey How to begin translating your skills and exploring career options before completing your degree Work with me Explore my coaching services for culturally relevant support as you navigate graduate school, build sustainable systems, strengthen your support network, and plan your next steps: https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/coaching/ Free resource Download your Grad School Femtoring Resource Kit: https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/kit/ Explore more Listen to more episodes on Grad School Hidden Curriculum: https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/podcast_catergory/grad-school-hidden-curriculum/ Support the podcast with a one-time or monthly donation: https://donate.stripe.com/bJedR8dGRcs6ewGdwq38401 Access transcripts and additional resources: https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/podcast/ Audio and transcript edited by Yessi Sanchez: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yessisanchez/ This podcast is a proud member of the Genuina Media network.

What if a bay leaf could teach us how to teach?For Mike, bay leaves aren't just an ingredient. They're tied to Caribbean kitchens, bush medicine, family stories, healing rituals, and knowledge passed from one generation to the next. In this episode of Guided by Plants, Nick and Mike explore what bay leaves can teach us about cultural memory, relational pedagogy, healing, belonging, and the quiet ways children learn through everyday life.Drawing from memories of being “underfoot” in the kitchen, family plant practices, and the ongoing work of reconnecting with heritage, this conversation asks what it means to teach through culture rather than to culture and what educators might learn from a plant that never needs to be the star of the dish to change the whole pot.We explore how educators can create opportunities for children to experience culture through plants, food, stories, rituals, place, and relationships and how reconnecting children with the living world around them can become a practice of belonging.Join us in remembering that some of our deepest learning happens when they're steeped, shared, remembered, and passed down quietly in our kitchens, gardens, rituals, relationships, and everyday acts of care.

We explored "Spanish only" homes discussing how assimilation, discrimination, and collective trauma influence the choices of parents. Sandra reflects on her therapeutic work and draws how these internalized messages produce shame, while offering strategies for finding healing through collective action during times of political distress and decompressing on an individualistic and collectivistic level. About today's guest: Sandra Barros, LCSW-QS (she, her, ella) believes that everyone deserves a life grounded in purpose, empowerment, emotional well-being, and fulfilling relationships. She believes we do this together, in community. Through a warm, nonjudgmental approach, she works collaboratively with clients to build on their strengths and inner wisdom to address life challenges. Some of her areas of passion include nurturing self-confidence, cultivating fulfilling relationships, transforming trauma and loss into strength and meaning, overcoming imposter syndrome and anxiety (moving from perfectionism and fear toward grounded purpose), and fostering healing and empowerment from racial injustice for BIPOC folks, activists and community organizers. She also supports harm reduction, mindful self-care, and 12-step recovery approaches that emphasize self-kindness, for both alcohol use and challenges with emotional eating. As a racial justice organizer for over 20 years and the daughter of Colombian immigrants, Sandra is passionate about racial, immigrant, gender, and 2SLGBTQIA+ justice.

On this episode, we speak with contemporary artist and White Earth Nation citizen Kent Estey. Kent paints at his home studio in Naytahwaush, in the heart of the White Earth Reservation. He's known for really bold abstract landscapes, acrylic, oil, ink, and metal. He's also an author. In 2025, he released the children's book Picking Sweetgrass. His latest exhibit, "Mino-Bimaadiziwin: The Good Life" runs through Labor Day weekend in Detroit Lakes: https://project412mn.org/Estey-The-Good-Life-Art/. Kent shares why he believes his community is the best place to live and to make his work, and how he's turned his rural studio into a hub of his art merchandizing. Kent tells us how his success is due in large part to Becky, his wife and partner in the business. Kent's grandmother was a nationally recognized black ash basket maker. Before she was a well-known artist, she was an Ojibwe girl from White Earth who'd been stripped of her culture and language by boarding schools. She never again spoke Ojibwe with her family. But, she made traditional black ash baskets the rest of her life. Kent explains how those baskets became her language and how he's kept her legacy alive in his own creations. When Kent started out, he got a great piece of advice: Don't settle on being a starving artist. If you're starving, you're not doing the right work. Find out what it is and do it.-----Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo Editor: Britt Aamodt Editorial support: Emily Krumberger Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood -----For the latest episode drops and updates, follow us on social media. instagram.com/ampersradio/instagram.com/mnnativenews/ Never miss a beat.

Instrumental Hip-Hop Producer LuvJonez: How To Make Beats, Blend Genres & Build A Music Community

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is LuvJonez.About LuvJonez: Portland, Oregon–based instrumental hip hop producer and beat maker whose work weaves a nostalgic, down-tempo blend of musical influences drawn from his cultural roots, extensive travels, and artistic experiences. Beyond music production, he founded and runs A Beat Happening, a free, monthly, all-ages, inclusive BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+-centered music producer and DJ showcase built to connect artists across the city.In our conversation, LuvJonez talks about how time on the East Coast, in the Pacific Northwest, and around Caribbean culture shaped a sound that doesn't sit neatly in one lane. He remembers going to beatmaker showcases in DC and New York before moving to Portland, watching producers just share their music with no ego and no competition — something that stuck with him long before he had any plans of his own.He talks about his approach to making beats as less about chasing a style and more about following a mood, using the process to decompress and work through his day. It's a "no style is my style" kind of thing, where the genre-blending isn't really a decision so much as a byproduct of everywhere he's lived and everything he's taken in along the way.He also gets into how A Beat Happening came together, noticing that rappers in Portland had plenty of platforms to perform, but producers and beat makers didn't really have anything built for them. The idea started small: approach a local record shop, no money involved, no tickets, just a chance for beat makers to get on stage.LuvJonez reflects on the show now reaching its nine-year anniversary, having hosted over eighty events and featured more than four hundred local Portland artists along the way. For the anniversary, he changed things up — rather than booking individual artists like usual, he invited other music collectives around the city to share one lineup. He talks about going into it unsure whether everyone would say yes, and how surprised he was when every single collective agreed, turning the night into a rare moment where the city's music community showed up for each other instead of competing.Be sure to follow LuvJonez on Instagram, Bandcamp, and YouTube to keep up with his music, and follow A Beat Happening on Instagram @abeathappening or at abeathappening.org for show archives, photos, and videos from over four hundred featured artists.Image courtesy of Subject.

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I share three truths I wish I understood before starting graduate school. For first-generation, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and other students navigating unfamiliar academic spaces, graduate school can feel like entering a cultural system with its own language, expectations, hierarchies, and unwritten rules. I reflect on my experience of feeling behind and explain why struggling to understand the hidden curriculum does not mean you do not belong. I also explore how productivity culture can tie your sense of worth to your output and why mentorship, femtorship, and community care are essential parts of a sustainable graduate school experience. Through three reflection prompts, I invite you to name the expectations affecting your sense of belonging, identify where you may be overworking to prove yourself, and consider who you can reach out to for support. In this episode, you will learn: Why graduate school functions as a cultural system with unwritten rules beyond academic requirements. How unclear expectations, departmental politics, and unstructured time can affect your sense of belonging. How doing less, resting more, and setting boundaries can protect your wellbeing. Why mentorship, femtorship, and community care are essential to navigating graduate school. Three reflection questions to help you seek clarity, reduce overwork, and identify support.

Syarafina Vidyadhana - Indonesia's Independent Publishing

Talking Indonesia

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 31, 2026 37:17

Independent publishing might seem like a small element of Indonesia's cultural landscape: limited print runs, niche books, and audiences that rarely extend into the mainstream. Yet these spaces can matter precisely because they make room for voices, ideas, and forms of cultural expression that have little place elsewhere. This matters in Indonesia today, where civic space is increasingly constrained and marginalised communities, including queer people, face growing stigma, scapegoating, and political hostility. In this context, publishing becomes not only about circulating books but a way of sustaining communities, and creating spaces where people can think, disagree, and imagine different forms of social and political relations. In this episode of Talking Indonesia, Dr Clara Siagian speaks with Syarafina, co-founder and commissioning editor of Cahyati Press, an independent publishing practice based in Bali. Cahyati publishes books, zines, and artist books by writers, poets, artists, and researchers, particularly queer, working-class, and BIPOC voices that are often overlooked by mainstream publishing. Syarafina reflects on her twelve-year journey through independent publishing and on why Cahyati Press came into being. For her, independent publishing is less about size than editorial freedom to publish work because it matters, even when it defies common literary classification or when it is not commercially viable. That freedom takes on particular significance when we talk about queer publishing. As LGBTQ+ people in Indonesia face increasing stigma and political scapegoating, Syarafina argues for the importance of documenting queer lives in all their complexity. This means communicating not only stories of violence and survival, but also stories of friendship, family, work, migration, desire, boredom and joy. Publishing, in this sense, can be a quiet form of resistance which encompasses preserving stories, creating memory, and allowing people to recognise that they are not alone. The conversation also takes us beyond Indonesia. Cahyati Press is part of a growing international network of independent publishers, artists, writers, booksellers and cultural organisers across Southeast Asia, Australia, Europe and beyond. Rather than seeing Indonesia simply as a place where international researchers and artists come to study or work, this network points to Indonesia as a place from which connections are being forged, and cultural conversations are being shaped. Finally, we discuss what independent publishing might offer academics: an opportunity to experiment with shapes, audiences and methods, and to imagine forms of knowledge production beyond the rigid conventions of academic publishing. In 2026, Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Jacqui Baker from Murdoch University, Dr Clara Siagian from University College London, Dr Elisabeth Kramer from the University of New South Wales, Dr Jemma Purdey from the Australia-Indonesia Centre, and Tito Ambyo from RMIT.

Her mother had been adopted and spent the first 19 years of Alexandera's life trying to track down her Native birth family. As an adult, Alexandera got her first bike to replace a car that no longer worked.

Dr. LaNail R. Plummer is a visionary mental health expert, educator, speaker, and author dedicated to redefining how minorities are seen, supported, and healed in clinical spaces. Her book, The Essential Guide for Counseling Black Women (Jan 2026, Norton & Co), is her first of three serving as both a professional resource for educators and mental health providers, and an accessible guide for Black women looking to heal. For Dr. Plummer, the book is more than theory but a response to a gap witnessed in her entire career; the need for healthcare (especially within mental health) that affirms and reflects the real lived experiences of Black women. Dr. Plummer brings two decades of clinical expertise and lived experience to inform her work. In 2013, she founded Onyx Therapy Group, a mental health organization with a team of 40+ BIPOC counselors and consultants serving Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Louisiana, with an international footprint in South Africa. Onyx's work spans across culturally responsive mental health care, consultation for local and government agencies, executive coaching, mentorship, and even prison reform work. We discuss topics including: Black women can have clinicians that understand how to work with black women Understanding that we are not all the same as our perspectives are different Exploring the stereotypes with black women The importance for black women to be seen and heard Reviewing the messages that you have been taught about black women Countertransference makes every black woman not enjoy the experience of therapy or be willing to give another therapist a chance SHOW NOTES: Website: www.onyxtherapy.com Book: The Essential Guide for Counseling Black Women IG: @Mahoganysunshine IG: @onyxtherapygroup ____________________________________________ If you have any questions regarding the topics discussed on this podcast, please reach out to Robyn directly via email: rlgrd@askaboutfood.com You can also connect with Robyn on social media by following her on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month — the time when we pay particular attention to the mental health challenges experienced by Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) in this country. This year's theme is "More Good Days, Together". Generational trauma; financial and food insecurity; language barriers; discrimination; access to healthcare and cultural stigma are all contributors to the lived experience of minority groups and can influence whether a person receives the mental health care they need. We talk with leaders of the National Alliance of Mental Health Coastal Virginia about programs they provide to help individuals and families find to care so that they can have "more good days together".

In this re-aired episode Margo is joined by art advisor, curator, and gallery owner Liz Lidgett. Liz's passion for art allowed her to see that competent art consulting for private companies and corporations was a need that wasn't being filled. With that in mind, she began her art consultation business, Adore Your Walls, in 2013. Since then, her business has grown and she recognized once again that online and national consulting – the type that exists for furniture and interior design – was completely absent for the world of art and has expanded her services, including a gallery space. With her developed expertise, Adore Your Walls has evolved into her new brand: Liz Lidgett Gallery + Design. Within the rebrand, Liz continues to consult, partner with artists and regularly contribute to design publications across the country. She represents 50 unique artists from around the world—with a commitment to always represent at least 50% women and/or BIPOC artists. Although her gallery is located in Des Moines, Iowa, they have an international reach, shipping 80% of the work they sell, and have sold to clients in 45 states and 7 countries. It was important for Liz to create a gallery that operated in a way she felt galleries should operate, where artists were paid fairly and quickly, and where an approachable, non-pretentious experience is created for clients. Her mission is "Art For Everyone." Although they represent some very well-known artists like Hunt Slonem, Liz wants people to know that you don't have to be a millionaire to be an art collector. Liz has gained a huge following on social media by showcasing the art in her gallery, the artists, and fun facts about art. Margo and Liz discuss: What led Liz to start her own gallery The important of creativity and adorning your walls with art How she has changed the landscape of Des Moines and surrounding cities with murals Why art collecting can be accessible for anyone, not just millionaires How to find your personal style in art and how to find art that fits with the design of your space (size, color palette, spacing with furniture, etc.) How she helps clients in being socially conscious with the art pieces — who the artist is, how they create, the reasoning behind a piece of art, etc. Her approach to buying and selling art Connect with Liz: https://www.lizlidgett.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lizlidgettgallery/ https://www.instagram.com/lizlidgett/ Ten Minute Masterpieces with Liz Lidgett
