Episode Highlights:06:48 - Our 20th anniversary kickoff celebration is called, "In the room and at the table," and because that's where our communities need to be. It's not good enough to just be in the room. You have to be actually at the table when decisions are made, so you can voice your opinion. You can give your perspective. You can influence decision-makers.12:52 - The reason I do all this writing and the reason I do a lot of these podcasts is because we need to share our stories. Because the traditional media, the traditional outlets don't often cover or want to cover, or just traditionally don't cover these types of stories. And so, we as communities need to tell our stories jointly. And we need to tell stories of solidarity. We need to tell stories of collaboration.14:20 - It starts with the youth. It starts with educating young people, whether it's high school or college, but most importantly, at the elementary school level, so that they know that we've been, from a very young age, that we've all been working together.Contact Links Juliette MayersLinkedInWebsiteJuliette's BooksInspiration Zone Newsletter Sign-UpLeverett WingEmail-Leverett WingEmail-Commonwealth SeminarCommonwealth Seminar website

What is health and why do we get sick? In this episode, we're going to discuss what makes up a person's health and the risk factors of disease and why those health drivers overly impact black and brown residents of Erie and Monroe Counties. By the end of the podcast, you will be able to identify the social determinants of health and understand how those social determinants of health have an impact on your health. Welcome to the Healthy Illness podcast. Health is multifaceted, with only 30% attributed to personal health behaviors, while the remaining 70% is influenced by social determinants of health. These include economic stability, education quality, neighborhood environment, access to healthcare, and social support systems. These external factors shape our ability to make healthy lifestyle choices and access necessary healthcare services. This episode is brought to you by Hustle for Health Programs, with support from Health Research Incorporated and New York State Health Department. SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH  Social Determinants of Health - Healthy People 2030 | health.gov Social determinants of health (SDOH) have a major impact on people's health, well-being, and quality of life. Examples of SDOH include: Safe housing, transportation, and neighborhoods Racism, discrimination, and violence Education, job opportunities, and income Access to nutritious foods and physical activity opportunities Polluted air and water Language and literacy skills SDOH also contribute to wide health disparities and inequities. For example, people who don't have access to grocery stores with healthy foods are less likely to have good nutrition. That raises their risk of health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity — and even lowers life expectancy relative to people who do have access to healthy foods. Just promoting healthy choices won't eliminate these and other health disparities. Instead, public health organizations and their partners in sectors like education, transportation, and housing need to take action to improve the conditions in people's environments.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Resiliency Within celebrates the legacy of Martin Luther King. This year, on Martin Luther King's Day, Dr. Brenda Ingram, who has made significant contributions to our collective understanding of Resilience, Recovery and Resistance will be my guest. She has co-authored a chapter in the book titled Black Women and Resilience: Power, Perseverance, and Public Health. The chapter she contributed Resilience, Recovery, and Resistance: Black Women Overcoming Intersectional Complex Trauma will be the focal point of discussion. When examining the pervasive issue of racism and its profound collective trauma experienced by people of color, it becomes evident that the concept of resilience may require a more nuanced definition and a broader perspective. Within communities of color, resilience can sometimes be perceived negatively when it exclusively emphasizes the psychological strength of individuals, inadvertently perpetuating the existing racism status quo. To truly address the healing process from racial trauma for communities of color, resilience must encompass an element of active resistance.

S3 Ep 3 | According to a new study, Black and Hispanic real estate developers together make up less than 1 percent of their industry. This gap in the real estate industry isn't just a representation crisis, it's also a huge missed opportunity – the study estimates a more diverse industry could create more than $100 billion in new revenue. Investing in systemic change could close this gap and actually bring lasting economic growth to many communities. US Bancorp Impact Finance, a subsidiary of US Bank, has taken a lead role in addressing systemic issues by investing in community development across the nation. In this episode Miranda Walker, US Bancorp's Affordable Housing Impact Capital Manager, shares how they are creatively working with CDFIs and BIPOC led developers to uplift local communities.About Miranda.Miranda Walker joined U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance in 2022.

Freedom to Roam in Nature is an essential human right. For guest Chad Brown [http://www.Chadocreative.com], mother nature played a significant role in his healing from the war trauma he experienced as a navy service member. In his desire to activate healing through nature, art, and sport, he founded two non profits, Soul River Inc. and Love is King and explores storytelling through his photography and documentary filmmaking. Soul River Inc. [https://soulriverinc.org/about/] focuses on forging strong connections between at-risk inner city youth and veteran mentors, inspiring both confidence and purpose through their programing. We will discuss how they use cultural expeditions, called deployments, to bring these teams to threatened wild spaces, providing mission-driven experiences where advocacy and outdoor education meet. For his nonprofit Love Is King [https://loveisking.org/], Chad's vision is to eliminate the fear of marginalized communities being in nature while developing diverse environmental leaders whose voices are part of natural policy making decisions, such as being at the table of white lead conservation groups. The programing has made them an active voice with the Alaska Wilderness League on protecting the Arctic and their Indigenous communities from oil drilling and development. Chad is also a documentary-style portrait and adventure photographer, with assignments leading him all over the world, and in particular into the Alaskan Arctic. He also makes films; one in particular is called Blackwaters [https://blackwatersfilm.com/], which follows five black outdoorsmen of diverse backgrounds into Gates of the Arctic National Park.

People who live behind a vast number of aging levees in the United States are more likely to be people of color and have less education compared to those who don't. And that leaves them more vulnerable to flooding and the impacts of climate change. Reporter: Emily Zentner, California Newsroom A state bill that would require many employers in all kinds of industries to take steps to protect workers from violence at their jobs, has cleared a key hurdle and is headed for a full vote of the State Assembly.  Reporter: Farida Jhabvala Romero, KQED

Because of its unique geography, the United States is particularly vulnerable to nearly every kind of natural disaster: tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, blizzards, and more. And these natural disasters are getting an unnatural boost with climate change. Also, some Florida sugarcane growers near the Everglades still use the archaic method of burning fields to remove the tops and leaves before harvesting the sweet cane stalks. Communities of color nearby assert they bear a disproportionate burden of the smoke and ash pollution with adverse health effects. And over the past four decades, sperm levels among men in Western countries have dropped by more than 50%, and female fertility is also declining. Some chemicals that disrupt hormones are key culprits, including those found in plastics, cosmetics and fracking solutions. -- Join us on September 14th for a Living on Earth Book Club event with author Dorn Cox about regenerative agriculture!

Known Holdings is out to break the logjam once and for all. “Our goal is to shift capital through all of the ways of wealth creation” says Valerie Red-Horse Mohl, who cofounded Known in 2021 with Natalie Molina Niño, Jim Casselberry and Ushir Shah.  “We manage assets, we deploy assets, and we shift capital to focus on eliminating the racial wealth gap.” Known is the rare Black, Indigenous, Latina and Asian American-owned asset management firm. It has quietly attracted assets from impact investors looking to shift capital for greater impact. “We have big ambitions to really shift capital in significant ways,” Red-Horse Mohl tells ImpactAlpha's David Bank on this week's podcast. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/impact-alpha/message

Without question the last 2-3 years have lit a fire under businesses, brands, governments and individuals with regard to how to think of and interact with diversity. In fact, the acronym of the early 2020s has to be D-E-I … Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity.  While that refers to far more than just race, a good portion of the conversation around DEI circles around people of color. In the influence marketing space, that conversation has driven progress around the pay gap from white to black or brown creators, representation in influence marketing campaigns and sensitivities for businesses and brands to ensure they are not just checking a box, but changing behaviors.  Without question, the conversations have led to progress. And that's a very good thing. As an aside, if you don't think progress in this category of our world is a good thing, I'd rather you didn't listen to this podcast.  Still, there's much more progress to be made. I've made it a point to come back to the topic of diversity, equity and inclusivity, the conversations around race and how we can collaborate and cooperate more than not. Why? Because these conversations are what will continue to move us forward as an industry, a community and a species.  Monique Russell happened upon me recently. She's a dynamic speaker, trainer and communications guru who hosts a podcast of her own that focuses on diversity and inclusion and understanding black cultures. Her perspective is that it is incumbent upon us all – regardless of color or race – to do our own diversity, equity and inclusivity work to build unity.  The show is called Bridge 2 U. It is now a member of the Marketing Podcast Network and a sister show to Winfluence in that regard.  As such, I asked my new podcast partner of sorts to join us on the show. Today we're going to talk to Monique Russell about communications, including the practice of influence marketing and marketing overall, through the lens of diversity.  And you know me … I'm just dumb enough to ask the hard questions in hopes we land at an answer that bridges those gaps.

Monique Farook, the host of the award-winning Infertility and Me podcast, joins Julia to discuss her journey through infertility. Monique faced a multi-year battle with infertility in which she grappled with feelings of shame and anger, experienced racial discrimination by her doctors, navigated a tubal blockage, hypothyroidism, surgery, and natural cycle IVF.   We discuss her decision to return to the medical system following a loss of trust in the medical community following experiencing racial bias in her fertility treatment.  We laugh about the challenges of raising toddler boys and celebrate that her podcast reaches the unseen and underserved communities facing infertility.  In addition, she candidly reveals her story about her marriage, her medical diagnosis, and the premature birth of their son. Don't miss this honest and sometimes emotional episode of Stork'd.     IN THIS EPISODE:   [00:00] Julia shares Monique's accomplishments  [05:09] Monique discusses why she started her podcast and the difficulty of finding podcasts created by women of color  [12:02] The journey of navigating infertility and the discrimination Monique felt, and how this situation affected her marriage  [23:25] Monique finally accepted that God wasn't punishing her; it was a medical problem  [28:32] Making the analytical decision of why you want to be a mother  [30:17] Raising children to become decent human beings that will have an impact on the world  [34:41] The process Monique and her husband went through to become pregnant  [39:12] A son is born and is in the NICU for 129 days  [45:12] Monique speaks about listeners of her podcast. Women need to discuss their grief  [46:31] Monique shares her definition of family    KEY TAKEAWAYS:    Anger, denial, and even jealousy of another woman who can become pregnant are all natural emotions when going through infertility.   Blaming the inability to become pregnant is not a punishment from God. It takes time to see the issue as a medical problem, not a punishment.  It is critical to decide why you want a baby.  Just wanting a cuddly baby isn't reason enough.  Being a mom becomes a job for a lifetime.     RESOURCE LINKS:    Stork'd - Facebook     Stork'd - Instagram     Stork'd- YouTube     Monique Farook - Website    Monique Farook - Instagram    Infertility and Me Podcast    BIO: Monique Farouk is a wife, mom, women's health, and infertility advocate.

She started the podcast after her path to motherhood was disrupted by female-factor infertility. Through the podcast, Monique has reached thousands of men and women from all over the world—passing the mic to other survivors to share their stories authentically. Monique's podcast was featured in Apple iTune's "New & Noteworthy" editor's picks in March, April, and May of 2022.

James Lowry has devoted most of his professional life trying to bring corporations and minority communities closer together. While Lowry views many of the corporate diversity efforts in the 1960s and 1970s as charity, he says companies are finally starting to create business-driven initiatives supported with resources and leadership commitment. Lowry talks about how corporations and communities alike benefit from supplier diversity, leadership diversity, financial inclusion, racial equity, and minority business enterprises. He also looks back at that a career that spans volunteering in the Peace Corps, working with Bobby Kennedy in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a troubled Brooklyn neighborhood back in the 1960s, and roaming the corridors of corporate power.

In the second hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Wednesday, February 8, 2023, we hear from mental health professionals about how to help

Activists are outraged by the United Arab Emirates' decision to appoint a high-ranking oil executive to lead the 2023 UN climate treaty negotiations in Dubai. It's the latest example of how fossil fuel interests are deflecting progress in the treaty process.  Also, some Florida sugarcane growers near the Everglades still burn their fields to make harvesting easier, and people of color downwind claim adverse health effects from the smoke and ash.  And in addition to the devastating human toll of Russia's war on Ukraine, marine scientists have documented recent mass strandings of dolphins and porpoises in the Black Sea. A key suspect is military sonar, which can disorient cetaceans that use sound to navigate. -- Thanks to our sponsor, Four Sigmatic: Don't miss our special offer to get 30% off your order of premium organic coffee blended with superfood mushrooms.
