Send us a textHave you ever wondered what happens to foster youth who age out of the system without a safety net? Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Teej Mercer, the inspiring founder of Moving Day Mafia, who has dedicated her life to supporting students entering Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that face severe financial hardships or lack a stable home. She shares the stirring story of how an encounter with a young woman aging out of foster care propelled her to create this nonprofit in a matter of just 52 days. We explore the myriad challenges these students face as they transition into college life, from being suddenly left on their own at 18 to overcoming significant financial obstacles. Learn how Moving Day Mafia has rallied community support, raising over a million dollars through HBCU bingo, to make a tangible difference in these students' lives.Teej Mercer takes us deeper into the personalized efforts of Moving Day Mafia, ensuring that each scholar feels genuinely cared for and valued. Drawing from her own experience of being lovingly cared for by her mother, Teej Mercer discusses the meticulous care packages tailored to each student's unique needs, easing their stress so they can focus on their education. We touch on the importance of building trust with students who are not used to asking for help and the emotional impact of personalized dorm room makeovers that create a sense of belonging and security. Join us as we highlight the incredible compassion and resilience of these young individuals and call upon the community to support Moving Day Mafia, helping to ensure every student receives the support they need to thrive in their educational journey.

Jason Manson was a QB at the University of Iowa from 2002-2006. After 15 years away from Iowa City he now returns as the Director of Player Development. The Director of Player Development serves as a guide for student-athletes as they transition from high school to college, supporting their academic and football successes while creating a positive and memorable college experience. Manson has been involved in high school administration and coaching since the end of his Hawkeye playing career. He has held the position of assistant Dean of Students and head football coach at St. Thomas More School the last two years. In 2018-19 he served as student management assistant at Greater Hartford (Conn.) Academy of the Arts and head football coach at Capital Prep. Manson, a native of Bloomfield, Conn., was the head football coach at Capital Preparatory Magnet School from 2014-18, while also serving as director of college and career readiness. He also served as a position coach at Central Connecticut State University from 2010-14, instructor and offensive coordinator at Milford Academy in 2008-09, wide receivers coach at Becker College in 2007 and Western Connecticut State. As a player at Iowa, Manson lettered in 2005 and 2006, playing both quarterback and wide receiver. His career totals include completing 42-85 pass attempts for 442 yards and one touchdown. He had 22 career rushing attempts for 93 yards and three pass receptions for 22 yards. Manson led Iowa to a double-overtime win at Syracuse in 2006 in his only start at quarterback. We talk about his transition back into the program, the things that have changed and the things that have stayed the same, and the fast paced environment of D1 football. We also discuss Jason's thought process from his perspective as last years Iowa football controversy played out, and how that affected his mindset in trying to return and coach/work in the program.

On today's show, I am joined by a special guest, Ms. Danita Jones, founding principal of Capital Prep Harlem in Harlem, New  York, for an important, unique conversation about charter schools.  Mrs. Jones is a lifelong educator and principal of the newly-inaugurated Capital Prep Harlem, founded by fellow educator and charter school founder and advocate, Dr. Steve Perry, along with entertainment mogul, Sean "Diddy" Combs.   In the wake of the Kentucky legislature enacting a bill to allow charter schools in Kentucky, I wanted to have a frank conversation with this experienced educator and charter school proponent about the realities, strengths, and challenges of the charter school system.   Mrs. Jones shares her experience as an educator, her motivation to become a teacher and to influence the lives of other students, and shares her journey to the Capital Prep network with Dr. Perry.   We discuss the more controversial issues around charter schools including funding, innovation opportunities, standards and accountability, and management.   We look at the role politics has played in shaping the charter school conversation, and we also discuss the realistic metrics for success in charter schools.   Mrs. Jones shares valuable insights about her time with Capital Prep in Hartford, CT and Harlem, NY, its 100% matriculation rate, and their school's unique approach to supporting the personal growth and development of each student beyond their academic coursework.   I also ask her what it's like to be a founder of a new school in New York with an icon like Diddy, and what it means for individuals with unparalleled platforms to lend their voice to these education discussions.   This is an illuminating conversation about charter schools, and one that can offer guidance around a controversial topic.   Please take a moment to listen and enjoy this important episode.  Leave a comment below and let us know your thoughts!   TELL A FRIEND.

               Dr. Steve Perry’s heart pumps passion and produces positive change. Featured in CNN's Black in America series, Dr. Perry is the most talked about innovative educator on the scene today.  Perry is the founder and principal of what U.S. News and World Report has cited as one of the top schools in the country, Capital Preparatory Magnet School in Hartford, Connecticut. Capital Prep has sent 100% of its predominantly low-income, minority, first generation high school graduates to four-year colleges every year since its first class graduated in 2006.              Dr. Nekeshia Hammond The Practical Guide to Raising Emotionally Healthy Children is for every parent that is looking for ways to help their children grow into adults that are healthy not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. The sad reality is that the focus in school for too many children is on their academics and their behavior. What many educators neglect is the effect of the emotions of a child on their ability to be high functioning individuals in other aspects of their lives. In this book parents will learn: * How to communicate with your children * Why and how you should talk to them, even when the subjects are taboo things like drugs, alcohol, and sex * The best ways to listen to your children * How to be a good role model for them  ...and more    .
