From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.One-act plays in WinonaDaryl Lanz, owner of Chapter Two Books in Winona, is glad to see Theatre Du Mississippi's One Act Play Festival returning for a second year. Playwrights from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa submitted original work earlier this winter, and the winning four short plays will be performed together to make a performance running about two hours.The result is a grab-bag of comedy and drama by regional writers ranging from 10 to 50 minutes. Shows will be performed at the Valencia Arts Center's Academy Theatre in Winona this weekend and next, Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.  A family of artistsVisual artist Fawzia Khan of Hopkins recommends the exhibit “Reflections and Conversations: Monica Rudquist and Jerry Rudquist” at the Catherine G. Murphy Gallery at St. Catherine University in St. Paul. Assistant professor Monica Rudquist explores the relationship between her ceramic art and paintings by her late father, Jerry Rudquist (1924-2001), who taught painting at Macalester College for 42 years. On the gallery's second floor, Sophia Gibson — an honors student of Monica's — extends the legacy one step further by curating an exhibit of Jerry's portraits. The exhibit runs through March 16, with an artist talk by Monica Rudquist on March 5 at 6:30 p.m. There will also be a screening and panel discussion of the short film “The Painted Eye,” which documents Jerry Rudquist's painting process on March 12. In the East Gallery, Monica Rudquist's deconstructed and reassembled bowls, plates and cylinders reflect the shape and textures of her father's work.  “Both artists deconstruct objects and put them together in new ways to create imaginary forms and leave the marks of their hands on the works,” Khan said. Pining for the fjordsDiane Hellekson, retired writer and former art critic for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, was inspired by the mixed media exhibit “Sund: Notes from the Sea” showing at Form + Content Gallery in Minneapolis. Minneapolis artist Moira Bateman created works reflecting on her summer 2024 residency in Ålvik, Norway, and on the human impact of its fjords. The exhibit includes found objects pulled from the fjords, textiles and an audio element that immerses listeners in the sounds of the sea and underwater noise pollution. The exhibit is open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through March 8, with an artist coffee reception on Saturday, March 1 from noon to 3 p.m. Hellekson called it an intimate show that gave her a feeling of  “wonder and curiosity.” She says you have to look closely at each piece and see “What is this? Oh my gosh. This is a plastic bag, and you find out that Moira dug it out from among some rocks in a fjord in Norway, and yet, here it is in this strange, deteriorated condition on the wall of a gallery.”“And it makes you think [how] this thing probably was there for years, and yet, if Moira hadn't plucked it out, it would have kept breaking down, and all these little shards of plastic would have gone on to pollute and end up in some animal's belly. It's very emotionally affecting, and yet it's also beautiful.”

Subscribe to Receive Venkat's Weekly Newsletter This April, I had the privilege of doing a series of conversations with undergraduate researchers at NCUR 2024 in Long Beach, California. This is the Second in a series of 3 episodes  based on those conversations. On this Episode we feature 4 Student Researchers on a range of topics from Hospitals to School Boards. The students are Tobi Ojo of Virginia Commonwealth University, Susanna Kim of Johns Hopkins University, Tim Schulz of St. Catherine University in MN, and Natalie Castro of University of Colorado Boulder. Our Guests: The students are Tobi Ojo of Virginia Commonwealth University, Susanna Kim of Johns Hopkins University, Tim Schulz of St. Catherine University in MN, and Natalie Castro of University of Colorado Boulder. Memorable Quote: “I think one primary skill that I learned is self confidence. I think where I went to school for my first undergrad, it just created such a stigma that you had to be a certain type of person to, mainly a hard sciences type person, like lab research, bench research, that sort of thing, to be a researcher. And when I saw the effects that I could have with populations just with analyzing data, and making recommendations to public health agencies and both private and public. I thought I saw how much capability I have to affect the world and affect change.” Tim Schulz, St. Catherine University. Episode Transcript: Please visit Episode Transcript.

"Whenever we've talked about community of care, it's really been talking about how the systems have been built against us and how we're pushed to be independent, very productive. And “self-care” is a form of just putting a bandaid on yourself when that's really not a way to have longevity within any sort of field; especially in something where you're caring for other people.” We have arrived at our final episode of Season 3 and so we made sure to make it extra special! Courtney is joined by student affairs professionals Julie Olson Rand and Alyssa Klenotich to discuss all the ways #selfcare is a less effective strategy than a community of care. The timing of this feels especially relevant - the hectic pace of the holidays and the imminent arrival of “New Year's Resolutions” (if you're into those sorts of things!). As we move forward, Julie and Alyssa offer this perspective that shows us where true wellbeing, healing, and support can take root in our frazzled lives. About our guests: Julie Olson Rand (she/they) serves as the Associate Director for Access Programs at the University of Minnesota.  Prior to beginning her role at the U of MN, she served as Director for Student Accessibility & Accommodations at St. Catherine University.

Did you know where the largest collection of Sherlock Holmes ephemera is located? This answer is elementary, my dear listeners--or maybe not. It's actually the University of Minnesota Special Collections. And this week's guest is one of the foremost experts in all things Sherlock Holmes, my good friend Tim Johnson. We jump in on Guy Ritchie's 2009 adaption as well as talk about other film adapations (including the Great Mouse Detective, natch) as well as talk about the process of collecting and archiving such a magnificent collection.

Queen Drea of St. Paul describes herself as a sound alchemist. She loves the innovative, community-centered performances of Ananya Dance Theatre. The theme for this fall's performance is processionals, which can both celebrate life and disrupt its flow when they take the form of protests. Ananya Dance Theater investigated its theme by performing several processionals in the Twin Cities this summer; Queen Drea had the opportunity to be involved with one during the George Floyd memorial service in May. She looks forward to seeing how that idea has developed into a staged dance show, marked by interruption, innovation and liberation.  Queen Drea appreciates that Ananya Dance Theatre's works involve a confluence of artists alongside the dancers, adding, “Every year, I go, and there's just something unexpected.” “Michhil Amra: We Are the Procession!” plays Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at The O'Shaughnessy at St. Catherine University in St. Paul.  Zoe Cinel, curator at Rochester Art Center, recently saw a striking exhibit in Winona. “Googled Earth: Through a Looking Glass” is the work of artists Patrick Lichty of Winona State University and Negin Ehtesabian, who lives in Iran. The artists, who are married, have never been able to visit each other's home countries. As they await visas, they use Google Maps and virtual reality to share their homes. This exhibit shares that experience with viewers through a combination of mixed media and virtual reality. One pair of mixed media prints by Ehtesabian, for example, hang facing each other on walls, depicting images and symbols from the U.S. and Iran, respectively. Cinel was particularly intrigued by a series of tapestries created using imagery from the geography where both artists have lived. She says the nontraditional approach to a traditional craft looks like “if glitch art had a baby with a rug.” Overall, Cinel appreciated the personal, colorful show that “speaks about borders and humans at the same time.” “Googled Earth: Through a Looking Glass” is up until Oct. 4 at the Watkins Gallery at Winona State University. David DeBlieck teaches dance in the theater department of the College of St Benedict and St John's University. He loves the work of Sod House Theater, a Twin Cities-based company whose traveling annual productions invite audiences to engage with the space around them. Their current show “Table” integrates dinner — created by local chefs from local ingredients — and a show. Directed by Sarah Agnew, whose traveling food-centered shows have included “Arla Mae's Booyah Wagon,” the show is performed by an all-female cast who also serve as wait staff for the meal. It's an interactive show served up in courses, and DeBlieck looks forward to gathering with friends at the Hallock performance Saturday to enjoy time around a table.  Related Art Hounds: Comedy on the farm and in town “Table” runs through Oct. 1 in various communities across the state, including in Crookston, Minn., Sept. 21 in Waseca, Minn., Sept. 28, and in Rochester, Minn., Oct. 1. Please note that some performances have sold out.

Mary Claire Francois was seldom the centerpiece of the basketball teams she played for, but her coaching duties with Maranatha Christian Academy and FBC North AAU place her at the center of the next generation of athletes. A state tournament champion and graduate of DeLaSalle, Mary Claire planned on continuing her basketball expedition at St. Catherine University, but a combination of the pandemic and the murder of George Floyd led her to make a difference in other ways. In this episode, we discuss the inspiring athlete Mary Claire met at six weeks old, taking the role of chauffeur in her senior season with DeLaSalle girls basketball, the non-profit she launched in the midst of the pandemic, and what she has learned already about the responsibilities of coaching. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tsbtelevision/support

In this episode Kathy Greiner gives eye-opening insights to what it means to age in place or have wheelchair mobility to ensure that families and individuals can live independently and safely in their homes. Kathy Greiner is Executive Director of Rebuilding Together Minnesota. Since 1997 this  nonprofit serves low-income homeowners who are seniors, individuals living with disabilities, families with children and veterans and their families in need, as well as nonprofit facilities in need of repairs. QUOTES Kathy:  “..the homeowners have essentially become trapped in their home because ...they can't navigate the steps out the back door and they just don't know what to do. So they...become home bound. And ... the team goes out and builds a ramp and they see the homeowner use that to go out of their house for the first time in three years... it's really emotional for everybody. “ Kathy:  “Our first concern is to make sure a family is safe and healthy in that home...Because as some research has actually shown... your home is one of those major determinants of your health.” Kathy:  “...for our volunteers, it really does bring home the idea that there are conditions here ... that we need to help our neighbors...You walk into someone's home and you see what's going on, you just have a different appreciation for how people have to survive.” LINKS Rebuilding Together Minnesota SPNN Forum: Rebuilding Together Minnesota Rebuilding Together started as “Christmas in April in Midland Texas in 1973 by Bobby Trimble and a group of friends.

Ashley Hanson wants you to know about an exhibit that celebrates rural Minnesota artists and stories. Hanson, executive director of the nonprofit Department of Public of Transformation in Granite Falls, recommends “Field Notes: 7 Truths about the Rural,” which draws together the work of seven artists of various disciplines. They explore subjects that make up our rural places, including small-town newspapers, post offices, mining and extractive economies, relationship to the land, and more. Laura Youngbird of the Minnesota Chippewa, Grand Portage Band uses mixed media to investigate “issues of identity as they relate to family members' forced enrollment in boarding schools.” Installation artist Matthew Fluharty of Winona looks at the ways rural communities are presented in national print media compared with local newspapers. Abstract painters Andrew Nordin and Lisa Bergh of New London look outward to architecture and inward to our emotional landscapes. Hanson highlights the timing of this exhibit makes it powerful as it celebrates the complexities of rural life at a time when political coverage focused on voting blocs can oversimplify rural life. The exhibit runs at Form+Content Gallery in Minneapolis through Dec. 23. Theater maker Ryan Paul North of St. Anthony Village is looking forward to seeing Spiked! at Granada Theater in Minneapolis. A co-production of Table Salt Productions and Rock What You Got, this classic holiday variety show promises music, improv and sketch comedy, along with a great line-up of guests that vary from show to show. It's family friendly, with a run time of three hours. North is looking forward to a chance to sit back, relax with a drink, and laugh. “Spiked!” runs Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 3 and 4 at 2 p.m. and Dec. 6 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. Dining options are available before the show for additional cost. Nicole Watson, director of the Catherine G. Murphy Gallery at St. Catherine University, wants to shine a light on a Twin Cities-area art exhibit that she found utterly thought-provoking. “Surface Tension” at Bethel University's Olson Gallery features the work of four female photographers, Sophia Chai, Paula McCartney, Christine Nguyen and Letha Wilson. Chai is from Rochester and McCarthy is based in the Twin Cities. Courtesy photo Paula McCartney's work, "Acquaintance," glazed and unglazed stoneware and archival pigment print on a wood base. Each artist pushes their work beyond the bounds of a printed photograph. Sometimes these changes are 3-dimensional, like McCartney's ceramic geometric shapes that play on the light and shadow in her photographs. “The longer you look at them the more surprises that surface,” Watson said. In Nguyen's work, light and time change the appearance of her unprocessed photographic paper. The exhibit is open to the public and on view through Dec. 16.

St. Paul poet and artist Hawona Sullivan Janzen was deeply moved by the multimedia exhibition “Beneath the Stripes, Under the Stars,” curated by Fawzia Khan. Ten female artists explore American identity. All of the artists “have lived a life that requires some navigation between American culture and at least one other culture,” says Sullivan Janzen, “and the work that they have produced in response to this is wide ranging. It's technically, visually and intellectually some of the most complicated work I've seen in a recent show exploring these topics.” Sullivan Janzen was particularly struck by a beautiful bedsheet by Khan, whose intricate embroidery explores “what it means to be a woman and a sexual being coming from Pakistan and living in America.” Courtesy photo An embroidered bridal bedsheet by Fawzia Khan. The show runs through Dec. 11 at the Catherine G. Murphy Gallery at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, with an artist discussion Dec. 7, 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. Chris Schellinger, director of the Avon Hills Folk School, appreciates the intersection of art and environmentalism that's happening at the Whitney Gallery in St. Cloud. Their juried art show “Trail Mix” features over 50 works — drawings and paintings, textile and sculpture — by local artists celebrating the beauty of nature and the work to fight climate change. Courtesy photo “Enough with the Pipelines” by Erik Jon Olson. The show runs through Dec. 10, with additional works on view at the Good Earth Food Co-op Gallery through Jan. 1. Schellinger notes that this show is a great chance to see the Whit before it closes Dec. 12. The gallery is also hosting a line-up of “Last Call” shows and events on that closing date. Printmaker and quilter Laura Brown of Grand Marais recommends checking out an upcoming solo show by artist and art therapist Lauren Callis. Entitled “Careful May Fall Apart,” the show uses watercolor, quilting, and writing to process the death of her beloved grandmother and other life events. Courtesy photo A painting from Lauren Callis's solo show "Careful, May Fall Apart." Callis created a zine with selected writings, so visitors can view the show and read about the “real-time” experiences that inspired the pieces, creating the feel of an interactive memoir. “She's really bringing in the value of using art as a tool for processing emotion and understanding experiences that happen to all of us,” Brown said. “Careful, May Fall Apart” is showing at the Pink Slip Gallery in Minneapolis, with an artist opening Friday, Nov. 18 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The exhibit is open by appointment Nov. 19 through 25.

When 15,000 Minnesota nurses went on strike for three days earlier this month, it spotlighted a growing national problem: nurses feel overworked, burned out, and underpaid. Nurses are exhausted from working on the front lines during the pandemic. But even before COVID, nurses were grappling with sicker patients, new technologies and increasing workplace demands.  Recent data from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development shows nursing vacancies doubled from 2,450 in 2019 to 5,587 in 2021. That left eight percent of jobs unfilled. MPR News host Angela Davis talks with two nurses about the stress their colleagues have been feeling on the job, why some nurses are retiring early or quitting and what needs to change to bring new nurses into the profession.  Guests:  Laura Fero is the dean of nursing at Henrietta Schmoll School of Health at St. Catherine University.  Kelley Annas is a registered nurse in the Twin Cities.

A group working to identify and nullify racist language in Twin Cities property records is out with new data on Ramsey County. Researchers with the Mapping Prejudice project combed through reams of documents and found more than 2,000 homes that were off limits to people of color until the mid-20th century. Racially-restrictive covenants have long been illegal, but supporters of the project say acknowledging past wrongs is the first step toward reversing Minnesota's homeownership and wealth gaps, which are among the worst in the nation. The new map came as a surprise to Etienne Djevi, who said that until this week he had no idea that the deed to his Roseville house likely includes a clause that once prohibited any non-white person from buying or renting it.  “I was shocked,” Djevi said. “I'm Black man. To be living in this house for two and a half years and to figure out that somebody in the past did not want my kind to be in here, it hurts.”  Djevi, an infectious disease physician who grew up in Benin, shares his home with his wife and two sons. Though he has yet to see the records for himself, Djevi's property is marked on a new map from the University of Minnesota's Mapping Prejudice project, indicating that the parcel has a racially-restrictive covenant.  While the language can't be removed from the title, Djevi said he's contacting the group Just Deeds to have its volunteer attorneys add wording to renounce the racist clause “so that it's not anything that maybe another Black person or another person of color will have to deal with in the future.”  Courtesy of the Mapping Prejudice project A map released by the Mapping Prejudice project showing properties found to to have racially-restrictive covenants as of June 9. The properties are shown in green. Mapping Prejudice technical lead Michael Corey said the earliest-known covenant in the Twin Cities dates to 1910. In the following decades the practice grew at the behest of real estate agents and developers. Corey said covenants, often mentioned in housing advertisements, continued even after 1948, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the clauses unenforceable.  “Covenants were often put on these properties as a way to attract white buyers,” Corey said. “And unfortunately they didn't think anything of throwing a lot of people out and under the bus to attract people to those properties.”  Since it started in 2016, Mapping Prejudice has identified more than 25,000 covenants in Hennepin County. For the last three years they've partnered with the Welcoming the Dear Neighbor? project at St. Catherine University on a similar effort in Ramsey County, where they've confirmed about 2,400 covenants so far. Corey said that's likely a significant undercount because of missing or unreadable deeds.  He said the process begins by feeding microfilmed records through optical character recognition software, which looks for racist language. Anything the computer flags then goes to a group of volunteers. It's a laborious process.  “Combined between Ramsey County and Hennepin County we've had over 6,000 volunteers work on this data,” Corey said Cindy Schwie is among the group of volunteers. Like Djevi, Schwie lives in Roseville and said she became interested in the project after spotting “disgusting” language in the title abstract for the home that she purchased with her husband in 1974. Matt Sepic | MPR News The deed to Cindy Schwie's house includes language forbidding “persons of any race other than the Caucasian race” from purchasing or renting the home. The clause says that “No person or persons of any race other than the Caucasian race shall use or occupy any building on any of the hereinbefore described property except that this covenant shall not prevent occupancy by domestic servants of a different race domiciled with the owner or tenant.”   Even though the clause has been illegal for decades, Schwie said she's working to discharge it, in part to send a message to her home's future owners.  “As homeowners, we do not want this on there,” Schwie said. “It's not what we believe in. And we want other people to know in history that we did not believe in this.”   Carol Gurstelle lives near Schwie in a mid-century subdivision where all the homes have racially-restrictive covenants. Gurstelle said the clause on her property deed is specific and explicit; it bans “Negroes,” as well as Jews and people of Asian descent. Gurstelle said she learned about the clause when she purchased the home nearly five decades ago. Gurstelle said she long considered it a curious bit of archaic legalese. “Since then, with the rising awareness of prejudices in this country, and how practices such as racial covenants have shaped the way our cities have grown, I'm more offended by it now than I was then.” Besides Roseville, the new map shows pockets of covenants scattered across St. Paul, Maplewood, White Bear Lake and other cities. St. Catherine University sociologist Daniel Williams said the effort to identify restrictive covenants is not just about nullifying racist language. Its larger goal is to illustrate how the pernicious influence of that language remains. “Segregation was not inevitable,” Williams said. “But once segregation happened, it did effectively racialize space, and that had consequences that were really never ending.”  Because covenants and other racist policies restricted homeownership, Williams said that Black people have had far fewer opportunities than others to build wealth and pass it to future generations. He points to a 2021 Federal Reserve study that pins the median net worth of white households in Minnesota at $211,000. For Black households, that figure is $0.  Rochester Confronts its segregated housing history, Mayo founders' role Minneapolis effort Countering racist housing deeds one lawn sign at a time New book Puts history of racial exclusion in Minnesota in 'plain view'

It's great to be here with you. Thanks for joining. In this episode, we are discussing a new assessment tool to guide behavior change, which is called The Physical Therapy Healthy Lifestyle Appraisal. It was developed by Dr. MarySue Ingman, who you will meet in a couple of moments. This is the first validated assessment tool for a physical therapy practice, where we can look at nutrition, physical activity, stress, sleep, and tobacco use. What I like and appreciate about this tool is that it's quick, easy, fits well into physical therapist practice, and especially if you are using integrative or lifestyle medicine approaches to treat chronic pain or chronic disease management.   Let me share a little bit about our guest. Dr. MarySue Ingman is an Associate Professor in the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her research interests include the role of a physical therapist, health promotion, and clinical practice. She's published studies on motivational interviewing and the role of physical therapists in health promotion and wellness. In this episode, you will learn a lot about counseling, assessment, and the science of behavior change. In fact, this episode is a sneak peek into some work that all of us have been working on for years. Some of you may know that I co-edited a textbook. That textbook is called Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine in Physical Therapy. My co-editor was another physical therapist, who you might know, whose name is Dr. Ginger Garner. In that textbook, we invited about 40 physical therapy professionals, researchers, and educators, to contribute to this book on Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine in Physical Therapy. Chapter 3 in this textbook, which is called Coaching, Counseling, and the Science of Behavior Change, was written by MarySue and her colleague, Dr. Janet Bezner, a Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at Texas State University. That textbook is on track to come out soon. We are excited because we think that this will be useful for physical therapy educators, as well as clinicians who are using integrative and lifestyle medicine in physical therapy. As I mentioned, Chapter 3 is written by MarySue, where we go into Coaching, Counseling, and the Science of Behavior Change, which we will discuss in this episode. Without further ado, let's begin and learn about the Physical Therapy Healthy Lifestyle Appraisal and meet Dr. MarySue Ingman.   Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!

St. Paul poet and performance artist Hawona Sullivan Janzen has loved Ananya Dance Theatre ever since she watched them through a glass window this summer. The dancers performed inside their University Avenue studio but the audience was seated on the sidewalk outside while traffic and light rail trains rushed nearby. She remains moved by the experience. Sullivan Janzen is planning to see Ananya Dance Theatre's new show “Dastak: I Wish You Me” indoors this weekend. The dance performance is a collaboration with playwright Sharon Bridgforth and cellist Spirit McIntyre. Ananya is a contemporary dance theater company focused on global social justice. “Dastak” contemplates migration and loss through “four elemental journeys,” according to the dance company's website. The Farsi term for knockings, dastak refers to the idea that global social injustice prompts a knocking at your door. Ananya Dance Theatre's show “Dastak: I Wish You Me” is Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 9 p.m. at The O'Shaughnessy at St. Catherine University in St. Paul. The theater requires masks as well as proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the performance. Teaching artist Maria Asp loves Z Puppets Rosenschnoz's web series, “Say it, Sing it, Play it!”  The three-part series is a hybrid of live-action, puppetry, animation and song, and is in Cherokee. Designed for ages 3 and up, the show follows best friends Turtle and Wabbit as they travel in their spaceship, unlocking clues to help save Grandma Turtle. Asp called it a delightful series whose pacing and repetition make it easy for all ages to learn some words in Cherokee. It was created by Chris Griffith, an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation, as a way to answer a 2019 state of emergency call to keep the Cherokee language from being lost. The show stars Griffith and Shari Aronson and is directed by Anishinabe artist Julie Boada. The digital show streams through the Ordway Theater's website for the month of November.  Tribal members of any nation, as well as Native American schools or organizations, may sign up to see the show for free. Courtesy of Lisa Bergh "Pasture," from Lisa Bergh's exhibition. Artist Naomi RaMona Schleisman recommends a visit to the Kaddatz Galleries in Fergus Falls to see Lisa Bergh's exhibit, “Dear Diary.” Based in New London, Minn., Bergh has worked with painting and sculptural installations. This new body ventures into textiles, using canvas and heavy plastic combined with embroidery and rivets to create a tension in each piece that invites viewers to look closer. Schleisman loves the vibrant colors of the pieces. “It's like you're having this private conversation that Lisa has created with these forms,” said Schleisman. “Dear Diary” runs through Nov. 18, both in-person and online, with a closing reception on the final evening.

Few athletes hold the distinction of setting all-time records in both high school and college. Tyzashia Holt was one of them, rewriting the record books at Humboldt High School and St. Catherine University. The kicker? Holt didn't play a single minute of hoops until she turned 14. Holt's progression from novice to expert included career scoring records in high school and college, and she became the first woman in St. Catherine school history to earn a triple-double. Holt's next chapter in basketball will come as an assistant coach for South St. Paul girls basketball, part of her efforts to mentor the next generation of athletes. Get ready for a lot of memories, a lot of laughs, and a dose of inspiration for anyone considering a path in basketball! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tsbtelevision/support

The toxic influence of social media and society standards cause many people, especially women to develop body dysmorphia and eventually an eating disorder. The goal of our project is to eliminate the stigma around eating disorders and body dysmorphia in the East African community. In our video podcast, we dismiss common misconceptions most people have about Eating Disorders and Body Dysmorphia. This video includes a spoken word piece titled “Digesting Hidden Truths”. Interested in learning more?  How Organ Systems are affected by Eating Disorders Cardiovascular System: How the heart pumps and regulates the circulation of blood within the body is dependent upon the amount of calories that is consumed. With fewer calories, the heart has less fuel for its activities.  Digestive System: Gastroparesis which is known as slowed digestion occurs.  Neurological System: The brain consumes one-fifth of the calories the body makes. When actions like fasting, dieting, self-starvation, etc… are occurring,  enough energy will not be delivered to the brain. This can cause difficulties in concentration and sleep.  Endocrine System: The body hormones are made from the fat and cholesterol we intake when eating. Lack of these nutrients can cause detriments to hormonal levels.  Statistics  BDD is more common than disorders such as schizophrenia or anorexia nervosa. Approximately one in fifty people are diagnosed with BDD. The common misconception that black women are less susceptible to eating disorders is false. In fact, studies have found that Eating disorders in the black community develop at the same or higher rate when compared with white women. Black teenagers are 50% more likely than white teenagers to have bulimic behavior, such as binge-eating and purging. Black Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) with eating disorders are half as likely white people to be diagnosed or receive treatment.       Links  US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health-Body dysmorphic disorder Center for Discovery Eating Disorder Treatment-Common Myths About Body Dysmorphic Disorder US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health-Prevalence of Eating Disorders among Blacks in the National Survey of American Life  National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders- Eating Disorder Statistics National Eating  Disorders  Association  Common Health Consequences of Eating Disorders     Meet the People Behind the Project:  Asha Omar is an intern at the Young Women's Wellness and Leadership Initiative.
