Ben Welbourn, a partner at Verto Education, tells a great story about how they've developed a study abroad program that could become the largest university in the world.  He and his two partners worked in the student exchange industry and saw the opportunity for developing a program that offered an affordable, safe place with experiential learning for high school graduates to spend their first university semester abroad. For anyone who has been abroad, you know the benefits from visiting other countries – learning about cultures, connecting with people different from you, being exposed to languages, and experiencing new foods, sights, sounds and situations. The United States has a low level of passport ownership and travel is seen as something you don't need.  Yet, by realizing people share similar wants and needs around the world, countries can develop more fellowship and peace.  The lack of international experience of 17- and 18-year-old young adults combined with their needing to pick an expensive college and decide what they want to do for the rest of their lives, inspired a great idea in the founding team of Verto.   They understood that international and experiential learning in a foreign country could open new possibilities and expose young adults to opportunities they might not have considered.  And they knew that they had to provide a safe, high-quality learning environment so parents would be supportive.  With this great vision, the team set out to sell to their many audiences:  Stressed students in their senior year of high school  Distrustful parents who care about child's next steps  Counselors and education consultants with influence  Universities to accept the students after their first semester Professors to teach  Health and Safety operators to keep everyone safe  Locations around the world for local facilities  By pulling all these audiences together, they had 8 students attend in 2018.  By 2022, they have 800 students enrolled.  The program has expanded to 6 countries in 4 years and they have ambitious plans to open in other countries in the future!  In the episode, you'll hear about the strategy for how they picked their first markets, why they ended up where they are now, and how Covid had a lot to do with a change in locations.    Ben admits that knowing what he knows now about the launch and then the pandemic, he doesn't want to go through those times again.   Currently, they recruit students in the United States and include students from other countries as they hear about the program and apply.  For now, they are not marketing in other countries but they plan to in the future.  They also plan on opening up other Learning Centers around the world.  Their professors are from quality institutions in the US and the local countries.  Many who come for a semester decide to stay on full time even if they were tenure tracked in their prior institution.  In a prior episode, #14 with Brittany Cooper, she talks about how her old company tried to open too fast in too many countries and how that brought them down.  This episode is a nice contrast on how to open fast yet be flexible, adapt and be successful.  Another good episode is #09 with Stephanie Hendricks who talks about their strategy for market expansion.  Another one to listen to if you are considering new global markets.  Listen till the end when Ben tells the story of his favorite foreign word in Bosnian, olabaviti which means relax or loosen-up.    Full Disclosure from Wendy – my son is in Costa Rica on the Verto Education program and loving it.  I am so impressed with the whole program – the professors are good, the location is great, the support team is phenomenal, the communication is fantastic, and my son is getting international experience with a group of fabulous young adults.  Next semester he is thinking about going to another country.  After that he plans on going to one of their partner schools.  I am a HUGE fan of Verto Education.    Links:  www.vertoeducation.org     Connect with Wendy - https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendypease/  Connect with Ben - https://www.linkedin.com/in/benwelbourn/   Music: Fiddle-De-Dee by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, reacts to an article in The College Fix, “Rutgers University Faculty Groups Support Prof Who Said White People ‘Gotta Be Taken Out.'” The article is about statements made by Dr. Brittany Cooper, a tenured associate professor in the Department of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and the Africana Studies Department at Rutgers University—a university with formative ties to the Dutch Reformed Church. In a video interview with The Root, Professor Cooper implies that white people invented slavery and conquest, and that white people are “committed to being villains.” She also states, “The thing I want to say to you is that we gotta take these [expletive deleted] out, but like, we can't say that, right? I don't believe in a project of violence. I truly don't, because in the end, I think our souls suffer from that. And I do think some of this is spiritual condition.” Elsewhere, she calls herself “a practicing Christian” and writes, “The Jesus I know, love, talk about and choose to retain was a radical, freedom-loving, justice-seeking, potentially queer (because he was either asexual or a priest married to a prostitute), feminist healer, unimpressed by scripture-quoters and religious law-keepers, seduced neither by power nor evil.” This ought to remind us once again that we are not to come up with our own novel interpretations of the word of God or the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3).

I should not be the only voice you listen to - nor am I much more than a young, white tarot reader with a couple of podcasts... someone who is not perfect and always aims to better herself and the world around her... someone who is open to suggestions from others who have different life experience. However, I decided it was best for me to address you all as humans instead of saying nothing at all on this audio platform.

I tried to include links to organizations who have curated lists that are exhaustive. As always, do your own research. I also thought I would mention that I am offering three card readings (emailed) free in exchange for your donation to one of the many organizations doing boots on the ground work. Just DM or email me (tarotwithtux@gmail.com or Instagram @tarotwithtux) your receipt.  I am also offering free energy readings for BIPOC humans who are needing some insight from their higher selves, guides or however they identify with the infinite. I am offering as many as I can do (as it is an energetic exchange), but I am comfortable with saying 5 and going from there. Fuck spiritual bypassing and let's build a better tomorrow. Remember...the system isn't broken. It was built in this oppressive way by people that look like me. Honor this tower moment (tarot reference) instead of trying to quell or side step the reasons it came to fruition. Right? Let's do our best. The past patterns have not been our best (understatement of the fucking year). I decided to just reschedule my podcasts I had set to drop this week. Podcasts live forever. Humans don't. If you'd like to talk to me on future episodes about this subject let me know... This podcast would benefit with some direction from a spirit having a black experience on earth in America. Much love to you. EDIT: it's been floated that Deepak Chopra (who I quoted) is not making the same choices I choose to make. I have never purchased any of Deepak's work nor do I plan to. My approach to everyone is take what resonates and leave what doesn't... And I definitely only work with healers I resonate with entirely. Just an important caveat.

In #InVinoFab episode no. 22 we are joined by Dr. Joan Collier and Dr. Marvette Lacy to share about their qualitative research using Sista Circles both as a practice and study. This research approach for a more culturally grounded methodology to understand the experiences of black women graduate students and scholars.What is a Sista Circle? Historically, coming together and sharing life experiences with other women. A space to be yourself and find support. These are informal gatherings where women get together for emotional care and share their ways of knowing with a core group for conversation and to talk about the topics of the day. In this rich conversation with Marvette and Joan, we explore the sense of belonging for women in higher education, academia, and more. Issues of power dynamics in doctoral programs and also the messiness of analyzing your own voice when scholars are embedded with your own n research. There's conversation about black and white feminism, and how we show up differently in this movement and how we should let others know “your slip is hanging.”Fresh off the dissertation process, we discuss the process of working on doctoral work and how to find meaning through this research process. Not answered, but we talked about the challenges we still need to address in the academy, including but not limited to: -- How are we mentoring scholars and researchers in a variety of methodologies that are authentic to the learners' experiences?-- What are the ways your department/institution reward tenure and promotion that consider fostering supportive relationships while advising  support doctoral scholars? -- What are the equity considerations we need to think more about when working with graduate students, professional programs, and doctoral programs for people of color? -- What are the historically white spaces and structural changes that need to offer support for a broader audiences who are coming to our colleges and universities?-- Are we seeing our doctoral scholars as people and not just as sources of production?-- How do you let your learners actually learn and explore their own ways of knowing in relation to how they show up in society?-- How do we allow students to explore what kind of researcher they want to be? -- What is your praxis as an educator, scholar or practitioner in higher education? How do you show up at your institution?Connect and learn more about their work, practices, and passions here:Joan CollierTwitter: @joancollierPhD #CiteASista Website: https://citeasista.com/ & #CiteASista (shout out to @Ms_BMWilliams)LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joan-collier-phd-52396415/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_mini_me/ Marvette LacyTwitter: @marvettelacyWebsite: https://www.marvettelacy.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarvetteCCLacy/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marvette-lacy-phd-05604915A few of the MANY resources mentioned in this #InVinoFab podcast episode:-- College Student Educators International (ACPA) http://www.myacpa.org/-- Dr. Latoya Johnson methodology mentorship of teachers.https://getd.libs.uga.edu/pdfs/johnson_latoya_s_201505_phd.pdf-- Scholars of note and citation centred around black feminism and lived experiences in education, student affairs, and higher ed:    - bell hooks  http://www.bellhooksinstitute.com/    - Patricia Hill Collins https://socy.umd.edu/facultyprofile/Collins/Patricia%20Hill    - Cynthia Dillard https://coe.uga.edu/directory/people/cdillard    - Natasha N.

This week on the MashReads Podcast, we chat with Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, about her new memoir When They Call You A Terrorist. The story documents both Patrisse's own life as well as the founding of Black Lives Matter. "The story of Black Lives Matter starts before Black Lives Matter. The story of Black Lives Matter, for me, starts with my childhood." And as always we close the show with recommendatiosn: Patrisse recommends “Anything by Octavia Butler, especially her last book Fledgling, which is about racist vampires. Amazing.” She also recommends Marge Piercy “She mixes sci-fi and political issues together.” And she also recommends the upcoming books Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower by Brittany Cooper, No Ashes in the Fire: Coming of Age Black and Free in America by Darnell Moore, and Unapologetic: A Black, Queer and Feminist Mandate for Our Movement by Charlene Carruthers. "It’s the year of Black Lives books." Matt recommends 13th, the Ava Duvernay documentary. “It’s an hour and a half long but it took me three hours to watch because I kept pausing it, and I took 5 pages of notes throughout the entire thing. It’s incredible and if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s not too late.” He also recommends Into Each Room We Enter Without Knowing by Charif Shanahan. Martha recommends drinking water and meal planning. “It’s changed my life in the past two weeks. It’s made me a lot more frugal and that’s my recommendation.” MJ recommends Nic Stone’s YA novel Dear Martin. “It is so good.

This week, the music world bows down to its Queen, while saying a sad goodbye to its Prince. In this special hour-long episode of Strange Fruit, we talk about these two groundbreaking black artists — one who’s still building her musical empire, and one whose legacy is now complete. You’ve read the think pieces and seen online commentators picking apart stories of infidelity and scandal in Beyoncé's visual album, "Lemonade." But our regular fruitcakes will know, we’re going deeper than that. To help, we've enlisted some of the Pleasure Ninjas, a group of black feminist scholars, cultural workers and activists. Joan Morgan is an award-winning author and journalist who wrote "When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost," and coined the term hip-hop feminism. But what you might not know about her is that she's also a practitioner of Yoruba, an African religious tradition. And as it happens, "Lemonade" is chock full of Yoruba imagery. Morgan joins us to help us understand these symbols. The album also included nods to the Black Lives Matter movement, and police violence against black citizens. We speak to Brittany Cooper and Treva Lindsey about what some of those images evoked for them. And of course, the day after we recorded our last show, the world lost Prince - an icon not just because of his music, but for the way he redefined ideas about black masculinity and what it means to be sexually powerful. And despite the fact that he broke most gender norms (or maybe because of it!), the world loved him. Chauncey DeVega is a political essayist, cultural critic, educator, and host of a podcast called The Chauncey DeVega show. He wrote an article for Salon last week called “Prince was the weirdo we needed: On race, masculinity & the indelible legacy of a musical icon.” He joins us to talk about what Prince meant to all of us. And in honor of National Honesty Day (April 30 — according to Wikipedia, at least), Doc tells the story of the best/worst lie she ever got caught in. And we ponder the question of whether it's possible to go an entire day without stretching the truth.
