Cullen's exact birthplace is unknown, but in 1918, at the age of 15, Countee LeRoy was adopted by Reverend Frederick A. Cullen, the minster to the largest church congregation in Harlem.Cullen kept his finger on the pulse of Harlem during the 1920s while he attended New York University and then a graduate program at Harvard. His poetry became popular during his student years, especially his prize-winning poem “The Ballad of a Brown Girl.” In 1925, he published his first volume of poetry entitled Color. Within the next few years, Cullen became well-known, publishing several books and winning a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1928 (to write poetry in France).At first, Cullen was critical of Langston Hughes' poetry, writing that, in using jazz rhythms in his poetry, Hughes was erecting barriers between race instead of removing them. In his own poetry, Cullen sought to erase these boundaries and took traditionalist poets, such as Keats and A.E. Housman, as models for his own poetry. However, despite his criticisms of other black poets, the majority of Cullen's own verses confront racial issues.By the 1930s, Cullen's influence had waned, though he continued to publish prolifically, including novels, a collection of poems for children, the autobiography of his cat, and an adaption of his novel God Sends Sunday into a Broadway musical.-bio via Song of America Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Pablo Lozano (⁠@itspablolozano) regresa a Baraja Eso, recordando las raíces de este podcast que lo vio nacer como co-anfitrión en sus inicios. Este prolífico productor de cine y DJ, que recientemente ha dado el salto a la dirección, nos comparte su evolución personal y profesional.  Enfrentar el desafío de pasar a la dirección no fue fácil, especialmente al encontrarse con la falta de financiamiento para sus proyectos iniciales. Sin embargo, con la experiencia que ha acumulado como productor, Pablo reflexiona ahora desde una perspectiva más madura sobre aquellos primeros obstáculos. La terapia, por su parte, ha jugado un papel fundamental en su vida, ayudándolo a explorar y comprender sus sombras, desentrañando el origen de sentimientos de abandono que influyeron en comportamientos autodestructivos y afectaron tanto su salud mental como física.  Estas dificultades lo llevaron a enfrentarse al abuso de sustancias en un intento por evadir su realidad, incluso llegando a poner vida en riesgo en varias ocasiones. Aceptar cuán cerca estuvo de la muerte en múltiples momentos lo impulsó a embarcarse en un camino de espiritualidad, buscando sanar y reconstruirse desde adentro. Hoy, Pablo se ha reinventado completamente. Su reciente participación en el Taller de Cine Fantástico en Bogotá, donde ganó el concurso y también fue ponente junto a reconocidas figuras del cine latinoamericano, es testimonio de su resurgimiento y determinación para seguir creando arte y permanecer en un camino de autoconocimiento.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Khristi Lauren Adams, author of "Womanish Theology," discusses her personal journey of discovering God through the lens of black girlhood. She reflects on the importance of integrating one's lived experiences with theological study, and how viewing Scripture and theology through diverse cultural perspectives can deepen our understanding of the divine. Adams shares insights from her interviews with young black girls, highlighting their unique perspectives on salvation, prayer, and the presence of God in the face of suffering and evil. She emphasizes the need for empathy, openness, and a willingness to learn from marginalized voices, rather than imposing one's own agenda or beliefs. We explore themes of identity, community, and the universal truths found in Jesus' teachings, underscoring the potential for reconciliation and redemption when we approach theological inquiry with humility and a spirit of curiosity. Join us as we discover God through the lens of black girlhood. Khristi Lauren Adams is a speaker, author, youth advocate and ordained Baptist minister.

For children of immigrants who are straddling two worlds, mental health can be a unique struggle. According to a 2020 study, children of immigrants had nearly double the rate of psychological distress than their immigrant parents. And this population is only growing, with one in four children in the U.S. currently being a child of immigrants, according to a survey by KFF and the LA Times. Therapy is bound by many Western ideas and rooted in whiteness. How to deal with the expectations, guilt, and dialogues of the bicultural experience can be a difficult road. That's where Sahaj Kaur Kohli comes in. She's the creator of Brown Girl Therapy, an online mental health space for children of immigrants and those in BIPOC communities. She's also the author of the new book, "But What Will People Say? Navigating Mental Health, Identity, Love, and Family Between Cultures." In it, she writes about her own experiences while giving guidance and tools to others navigating their bicultural identity.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

As the first in her family to do a lot of things — be born in the West, go to therapy, and marry outside of her religion/race/culture — Sahaj has a unique understanding regarding the struggles of children of immigrants and uses her personal experiences to create original resources and content for this underserved population. She is the founder of Brown Girl Therapy, the first and largest mental health and wellness community organization for children of immigrants. Sahaj takes her role as a community advocate seriously, and through her career development, she has taken on additional roles as speaker, consultant, and educator.

Joy interviews Vasavi Kuymar (@_Daniellevates) about her experiences as a Brown girl, divorcee, dater in her 40s and voice actor/author! The two really get into what it's like to grow up as immigrant kids in the U.S. with a media landscape that makes them feel Othered, with blonde white girls as the mold and parental criticism as the fire under their feet.
