What we can promise you with this podcast is a complete lack of planning, zero preparation, and absolutely no research. Scripts? Never heard of them. Everything is straight from the hip. Stuart is a full-time ninja of environmental social justice. He doesn't parade around with signs, but he stealthily champions the cause from the shadows. He alongside William your other co-host are just two dudes ready to dive into the big topics set by listeners with no forethought whatsoever. Sigurdur, from the Capital Region, Iceland sets the initial question - “What can we do to address the lack of representation and diversity in the arts?” Stuart kicks things off with “Is there a lack of representation and diversity in the arts?” He then muses about how art naturally attracts what society calls the “eccentric bunch.” Stuart, ever the diplomat, sees both sides of the representation coin. It can be a mighty force, but sometimes it feels as genuine as a three-pound note. William, not to be outdone, chimes in about trailblazers – those rare gems who are unapologetically themselves, inspiring others without even trying. He's a firm believer in the mantra: “You've got to see it to be it.” William then reminisces about the good old days, noting that there's more diversity in the arts now than in the 1990s, when music was as diverse as a beige wallpaper. He also points out that people often gravitate towards the familiar and comforting, rather than the challenging and new. But then, with a flourish, William suggests an action plan: “Go out and find something a bit off the beaten track. It might just change your life and make you see the world – and your walk down the street – in a whole new light.” Hortencia, from Humacao, Puerto Rico then asks the second question- “How can we challenge beauty standards and promote body positivity?” William kicks things off by saying, “Love your body, folks! It's what you live in every day”. You wouldn't slag off your house, would you? He then dives into the topic of fat shaming, pointing out that everyone's got an opinion on how someone else looks. “It's like, ‘Oh, she's too thin,' or ‘He's too fat.' Just let people be!” Stuart jumps in, questioning why people are so bothered about others' appearances. He reckons it ties back to Sigurdur's earlier point: people should just get on with their own lives. Stuart then suggests a bold approach: More people should adopt a bit of ‘sod it' and just get out there! William talks about how communities can support everyone by accepting differences. It's like a big family – we all have that one weird uncle, but we still love him. The conversation then shifts to ideals about hair colour, body size, and more. Stuart and William agree that we often focus on differences, but what really matters is the connection between you and the person you're chatting with. It's not about age or ethnicity; it's about the distance between you and the person you're having a natter with. What do you make of this discussion?

It is important to form one's own opinions about a country and not rely on stereotypes or preconceived notions.

Exploring supermarkets and trying local foods can be a fascinating way to immerse oneself in a new culture.

Every country has its own unique qualities and it is important to approach each one with an open mind and curiosity. Be present and let go of expectations when living abroad and traveling Embrace different cultures and understand that what may seem strange or different is just a part of their culture Consider house sitting as a way to travel and experience different places Sound Bites: "I was feeling really unchallenged, unfulfilled, and kind of everything I've been dealing with my whole life just kind of came crashing down" "We took the risk and actually like made the step first before we got the blessing" "I don't know what's in Japan. I don't eat sushi. I don't eat ramen. I don't watch anime. Like it didn't really speak to me" "We loved Malaysia so much, even being there during monsoon season." "There's some aspect that is just so liberating when you're in a place like that."

This week, Brooke welcomes Jamie and Celia on Disabled and Proud's Disability Pride Month special. They discuss their personal experiences with disability pride, unlearning ableism, and the challenges faced by the disabled community. Jamie shares a journey of overcoming internalised ableism and finding empowerment through meaningful employment, while Celia emphasises the importance of corporate responsibility in promoting disability inclusion. They highlight the need for tangible action, accountability, and ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive society.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Disability Pride is about change, hope, and amplifying diverse voices to celebrate the diversity of disability experiences. Disability Pride is not about enjoying being disabled but accepting oneself and being proud of the community's strengths and achievements. Unlearning ableism promotes inclusivity by addressing the impact of ableism on individuals and providing tools to navigate and challenge it. Overcoming disability is not a realistic goal, as disability is a part of one's identity and should be accepted rather than overcome. Corporate responsibility during Disability Pride Month should focus on tangible actions, such as running anti-ableism audits, supporting communities, and investing in disability inclusion beyond tokenism. BEST MOMENTS "Disability pride is about celebrating the work that's going on. So actually, I'm not celebrating Pride to the fullest, not because of my own fault, but because again, society isn't taking it on board." "I think for me that is the pride because I think if I didn't get into this role, I probably wouldn't be sitting here today. Like I probably would have out alive myself a long time ago." "It's not my accountability and responsibility. It's your burden of accountability and responsibility. And I think the natural tendency to applaud someone halfway through, you know they've done the bare minimum." "It's not about tokenism, flying a flag. Great, it's a starting point. As I said to Jamie the other day, I'm not going to applaud you until you've finished." VALUABLE RESOURCES https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/disabled-and-proud/id1621152878 HOST BIO Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability. Each week this podcast highlights an awesome disabled guest speaking about their own disability; why they are proud to be disabled and why they are proud to be themselves.  The conversations in this show will look at what challenges these amazing people face socially, mentally, physically and life in general. This show is raw, open, honest, funny, welcoming and educational.  Disabled & Proud does exactly what it says on the tin! And whilst we are creating this space for disabled people to be unashamedly themselves, without the need to conform to society, this is also not about toxic positivity. This show will be shining a big, bright light on disability without it being “Paralympic or pity”.  As you will hear disability is WHOLE, COMPLETE & PERFECT and whilst the topic of disability can be quite heavy - and we definitely don't shy away from the bad days - this podcast is also about having fun too! Our aim is to play a part in reclaiming the word disability - turning it from inadequacy to perfection!INSTAGRAM! https://www.instagram.com/disabledandproudpodcast/?hl=en: https://www.instagram.com/disabledandproudpodcast/?hl=en

EP 125: PRIDE- Celebrating Diversity & Inclusion While Creating Awareness of LGBTQ Issues In this episode, Jose Miguel Longo discusses the significance of Pride Month and the ongoing issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community. He highlights the importance of creating awareness and education around LGBTQ+ issues, including discrimination, mental health, and anti-trans legislation. Jose emphasizes the need for allies to stand up and support the community, and provides tips on how to create inclusive spaces at work and support LGBTQ+ youth. He concludes with powerful quotes from Harvey Milk and encourages listeners to celebrate diversity and stand together. Takeaways Pride Month is not just a celebration, but an opportunity to create awareness and education around LGBTQ+ issues.

Allies play a crucial role in supporting the LGBTQ+ community by educating themselves, participating in LGBTQ+ events, and creating inclusive spaces at work. Supporting LGBTQ+ youth and advocating for inclusive anti-bullying policies is essential. The fight for LGBTQ+ rights is ongoing, and it requires individuals to come together, stand up against discrimination, and demand equality.

On the one hand, "Jewish cuisine" or "Jewish food" is difficult to define, because it is influenced by the foods in the many countries where Jews have emigrated to, and it's as diverse and adaptive as the Jewish people themselves.  On the other hand, there is indeed something we can call "Jewish food," characterized by a rich tapestry of flavors, ingredients, and cooking techniques, and influenced by the dietary laws and culinary traditions found in Jewish religious texts. Jewish cuisine celebrates diversity while at the same time serving as a unifying element for a commuity that has been dispersed across the world.  Let's explore this together in today's episode.  —————— Support this podcast today at JoyfulVegan.com/Donate Visit my website: JoyfulVegan.com Join me on an all-inclusive vegan trip: JoyfulVeganTrips.com AFFILIATE PARTNERS: Nama Juicer — Use this link and coupon code COLLEEN20 and get 20% off my favorite juicer.

On today's episode of the "Helping Families Be Happy" podcast, host Christopher Robbins, co-founder of Familius Publishing, husband, father of nine, author, fisherman, backpacker, and aspirational musician based in the Central Valley of California, talks to Erika Sargent. She is the founder of Multicultural Parenting, an organization that helps parents raise their children with a better understanding and appreciation of their cultural heritage. She graduated from Brigham Young University to BA in communications. Today they are discussing specific ways that parents can incorporate more culture into their homes and family's upbringing.   Episode Highlights 01:51: Multicultural parenting is an online community that works to help families raise their children with a better understanding and appreciation of their cultural heritage. It includes a blend of interviews, resources, actionable item steps and personal experiences from multicultural parents. 04:41: When Erika was looking for resources to help with multicultural parenting, she found a lack of general multicultural parenting resources. While there were options for specific cultural backgrounds, she wanted to create a broader platform that would provide support and resources for families with diverse cultural backgrounds, hence the creation of multicultural parenting. 05:04: Erika highlights that there are abundant resources for raising bilingual children but limited guidance for families seeking to incorporate multiple cultural backgrounds into their parenting approach. 06:24: Erika emphasizes the importance of providing parents with simple and actionable steps to connect their children with their cultural backgrounds. 07:01: Christopher acknowledges the significance of multicultural parenting and Erika's work and ask about practical steps that parents can take to celebrate their culture with their children. 08:23: Incorporating everyday living like music, TV programs or games and cooking like preparing recipes with cultural backgrounds or family cookbooks in everyday activities into family life can help parents celebrate their culture with their children in a natural and meaningful way says Erika. 10:25: Erika recommends using public libraries as a valuable resource. They offer a wide range of books, including picture books and nonfiction books, that can help parents teach their children about their cultural history. 11:34: Christopher mentions that many children in their area speak Spanish, and Erika confirms that dual immersion programs, where children are taught in bilingual classrooms, are growing in popularity across the United States. 13:13: Erika highlights the joy of being a multicultural parent, as it provides an opportunity not only to pass on cultural traditions but also to continually learn new things and deepen one's own cultural understanding. 13:54: Erika introduces the concept of "participate" as the last pillar in their discussion. This pillar encourages people to step out of their comfort zones and become actively involved in their community's cultural aspects. 15:05: Christopher summarizes the three pillars of their discussion: "Educate, celebrate, participate." These pillars provide a comprehensive framework for parents and families to enrich their understanding and appreciation of their multicultural backgrounds and the broader cultural diversity within their communities. 15:41: Erika emphasizes that parents can expand their horizons without necessarily having to travel to different countries. Many events, such as festivals and museum exhibits, provide opportunities to experience diverse cultures without the need for expensive travel. 17:17: Erika highlights the importance of utilizing family members as valuable resources. 3 Key Points Erika's talks about the importance of utilizing resources like libraries and culturally diverse books to make learning about one's cultural heritage an enjoyable and engaging experience for children. Erika and Christopher underscores the significance of both formal education programs and cultural traditions in helping children appreciate and understand their multicultural heritage. Erika and Christopher provides valuable insights and practical tips for parents to engage with their children's multicultural backgrounds and foster a deeper appreciation for diversity through celebration, education, and active participation in their communities. Tweetable Quotes “Multicultural parenting is built on three pillars, celebrate, educate, participate. These three pillars form the foundation of multicultural parenting, making it a valuable resource for families looking to embrace and pass on their cultural heritage to the next generation.” – Erika  “Familius Publishing offers multicultural picture books, such as "My Name Is Cool" and "The Proudest Color." They have recently released a book that explores a diverse family dynamic called "My House and My Family." These books provide an engaging way for children to learn about different cultures and family dynamics.” – Erika “Multicultural parenting is not about rigidly following a checklist but rather providing options and ideas that parents can adapt to their family's needs. It's about incorporating what works best for your family, considering your time constraints and personal circumstances.” - Erika Resources Mentioned Helping Families be Happy Podcast Apple multiculturalparenting.com Podcast Editing

In this thought-provoking episode of "Celebrating Diversity," your hosts Gary and Jason delve into embracing cultural diversity, recognizing the beauty and uniqueness within our differences. Society often places pressure on us to level the playing field when it comes to race, color, and ethnicity. While this may be well-intentioned, it can unintentionally undermine the rich tapestry of existing cultures. Gary and Jason challenge this notion, urging listeners to shift their perspectives and appreciate the depth and variety that diversity brings.Through insightful discussions and personal anecdotes, our hosts highlight cultural identity misconceptions. They shed light on the misconception that all Hispanics come from the same country and culture, emphasizing that each Hispanic national possesses a distinct cultural identity and Spanish dialect. By exploring this example, Gary and Jason demonstrate the need to recognize and celebrate the diversity within seemingly homogeneous groups.Above all, this podcast episode emphasizes the importance of embracing skin color and cultural differences. By doing so, we honor the beauty of diversity and acknowledge the multicultural aspect of the gospel. Join Gary and Jason as they encourage you to open your hearts and minds, fostering a world where everyone's uniqueness is cherished and celebrated.
