Podcasts about black youth

Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on. I'll be sharing my raw thoughts on what happened, and more importantly, having the uncomfortable (but necessary) conversation surrounding crime statistics in the black community.If we're ever going to see real change — fewer senseless killings, safer neighborhoods, and stronger families — then we have to stop tiptoeing around the truth. It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

Black Youth Leadership Saturday 2/22/25 from 4 to 6 PM Aaron Booe Community organizer Event Speaker and Chair of Washington, District of Columbia, United States, and Young Communist League of the United States of America

A 2019 report showed that police violence is a leading cost of death for young Black men in the United States. About one in every 1,000 Black men can expect to be killed by the police, with the highest risk amongst all ethnic groups and genders between the ages of 20 and 35 years old. Police violence has been identified as a public health issue among public health experts as well as advocates and activists. What role, then, do doctors and pediatricians have in preparing patients and their families to be aware of this public health risk? On today's show, we're in conversation with two pediatricians who led the research of a recent peer-reviewed research letter, titled “Pediatrician Perspectives on Incorporating Discussion of Police Encounters Into Anticipatory Guidance for Black Youth and Their Caregivers“. Dr Jeffrey Eugene is a pediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist, working with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as well as Philadelphia FIGHT Community Health Centers. His clinical expertise is in adolescent and young adult primary care, gender affirming medical care, sexual and reproductive health, medical care for youth living with HIV, and eating disorders. Dr George Dalembert, is a pediatrician at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and an Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine. Additionally, he serves on the Governance as well as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committees of the Pennsylvania chapter of American Academy of Pediatrics. He is also an author on the report that we're discussing today.

In a recent project based in Scarborough, Ontario, Black youth are teaching their communities about their rights, justice and the law using hip hop. The organization RISE offered a Legal Art-ivism program where participants learned about the law, and then developed musical and artistic performances that shared that knowledge using forms that were accessible and engaging to their peers. Sociologist and PhD Candidate Anna Lippman from York University spent time researching the program and its outcomes for the Black youth involved.

With so many platforms available to share information, there are more means than ever to make a noise. But in the spirit of free speech and academic freedom, those speaking and actually being heard remain grossly unequal. What are the links between voice and power and how can we amplify those voices that we can't hear?In this special episode recorded at The Sociological Review Undisciplining II conference, Michaela Benson is joined by Claire Alexander (Professor of Sociology and Head of the School of Social Sciences at The University of Manchester), Dan McCulloch (Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Social Policy at The Open University) and Belinda Scarlett (Library Manager at the Working Class Movement Library) to talk about empowerment, representation and impact, under a common theme: VOICEGuests: Claire Alexander, Dan McCulloch, Belinda ScarlettHost: Michaela BensonExecutive Producer: Alice BlochGuest Producer: Emma HoultonSound Engineer: David CracklesMusic: Joe GardnerArtwork: Erin AnikerFind more about Uncommon SenseEpisode ResourcesBy Claire Alexander Our Migration StoryThe Art of Being Black: The Creation of Black British Youth IdentitiesStuart Hall and ‘Race'By Dan McCullochCritical Reflections on Participatory Visual Methods and VoiceWhy Deaf Prisoners Have Been in a State of Lockdown Since Well Before COVID-19Homelessness and Mortality: an Extraordinary or Unextraordinary Phenomenon?

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Rachel Thomas as the two discuss the importance of role models and mentors for vulnerable youth. Rachel Thomas Rachel Thomas is a survivor, advocate, and educator. She is serving her second term on the White House Advisory Council, co-founded Sowers Education Group, and speaks all over the country. Rachel Thomas will be the Amplify 2024 Keynote speaker to support the work of the Global Center. She has previously been a guest on the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast on episode #196: Ending The Game and episode #272: The Cool Aunt Series. Main Points Role models and mentors have a significant impact on youth, particularly black youth and those in the foster care system. They are crucial in providing guidance, stability, and positive examples that many youth may lack. Hip hop and rap culture have a large influence on youth, especially in terms of role modeling and aspirations. Many youth, particularly those in vulnerable situations like foster care, look up to hip hop artists who may embody success and empowerment in ways that resonate with them, although there are potential pitfalls of hypersexualization and dysfunctional themes in the genre.  When it comes to mentoring youth, challenges may arise surrounding the idolized figures in hop hop culture, however, it is important to have conversations around these influences without dismissing the artists or their influences. As a mentor, it is important to build rapport, understand the youth's perspectives, and gradually introduce alternative ways of thinking and aspirations.  It is important that adults get involved in mentoring programs as just one committed mentor can make a significant difference in a young person's life.

Dr. Molock teaches undergraduate and doctoral courses in clinical psychology and conducts research on the prevention of suicide and HIV in African American youth. Thirty years ago, she first discovered her calling was to help prevent suicide among Black people, as rates of suicide continued to rise in Black adolescents.

Black children ages 5 to 12 are twice as likely to die by suicide as their white counterparts, and the rate of suicides among Black teens is rising faster than any other racial/ethnic group. Those statistics are alarming to most people, but they're not surprising to Yale Child Study Center (YCSC) Chief Resident and Child Psychiatry Fellow Dr. Amanda J. Calhoun. “Experiences of anti-Black racism affect kids before they are even born,” says Dr. Calhoun. The stress of anti-Black racism...

Did you know that Black Youth are Almost Five Times As Likely To Be Incarcerated As their White Peers? The following are some data points from the Sentencing Project, captured by Josh Rovner and Ashley Nellis For a decade, incarceration disparities between Black and white youth have remained stubbornly high. As of 2021, Black youth were 4.7 times as likely to be placed, meaning detained or committed to juvenile facilities as their white peers. Forty-two percent of youths in placement are Black, even though Black Americans comprise only 15% of all youth across the United States. Since, Black and brown youth are more likely to be in custody than white youth, going to prison is a major life-altering event that creates obstacles to rebuilding lives in the community, such as gaining employment and finding stable and safe housing after release. Imprisonment also reduces lifetime earnings and negatively affects life outcomes among children of incarcerated parents. These are individual-level consequences of imprisonment but there are societal-level consequences as well: high levels of imprisonment in communities cause high crime rates and neighborhood deterioration, thus fueling greater disparities. This cycle both individually and societally is felt disproportionately by people who are Black and Brown. So what do these statistics and social work brokering have to do with one another? You will soon find out by listening to this episode. For more information, please visit their website: www.legendlegacies.org

How does race matter in schools? In The Culture Trap: Ethnic Expectations and Unequal Schooling for Black Youth (Oxford UP, 2023), Derron Wallace, the Jacob S. Potofsky Chair in Sociology at Brandeis University, tells the contrasting stories of two schools in the UK and USA. The book demonstrates two very different sets of expectations for Black youth in the two countries schools, and two very different educational and social structures reinforcing these expectations. The book draws on a rich ethnographically informed narrative, which centres teachers' and students' understandings and experiences of education. In doing so, the book challenges ‘cultural' explanations for failures and successes in the two schools, and the two countries. Demonstrating both the socially constructed nature of race in the UK and USA, and the racism at the centre of both educational systems, the book is essential reading across the social sciences, humanities and for anyone interested in schools, education, and social change.

In this episode, Dr. Almitra Berry explores a critical issue often overlooked: the profound impact of racism on the lives of Black children. Racism's pervasive nature leads to early encounters with microaggressions, triggering chronic stress with far-reaching health consequences. Dr. Berry delves into research and poignant stories, shedding light on this pressing concern. Key Takeaways:Black children experience racism from a young age, causing chronic stress and harm.Racism often goes unaddressed in schools, discouraging reporting and perpetuating the issue.Racism leads to chronic stress, impacting health with issues like anxiety and hypertension.Racism affects Black boys and girls differently, with added challenges for Black girls due to sexism.A survey found that 60% of Black girls felt mistreated due to their race, and a similar percentage due to their gender.Disrupting racism's impact requires collective action from elected officials, parents, educators, and communities to engage in meaningful conversations and provide support for Black youth.Racism's impact on Black children is a pressing concern, and addressing it is the responsibility of all of us. From policymakers to parents, educators to community members, together, we can create a future where our Black children can thrive without the burden of racial stress. Tune in to this episode and let's work together to change what we can no longer accept. Threads: @alberryconsulting TikTok: @almitraberry Email info: @askdrberry.com
