In January, Wheeler Elementary School debuted a special sign outside on its playground and the school's staff has already seen students benefiting from these signs.
A few days ago I sat down with Portland City Councilor Candace Avalos to have a conversation about policing and transportation. Avalos, who represents an area east of I-205 including Lents in southeast and the Portland Airport, is a first time member of city council, but she's no stranger to local politics. She was chair of the Citizen Review Committee, where she served for six years and became a well-known advocate for police accountability. Prior to being a city councilor she was executive director of Verde, an environmental justice nonprofit.I met Councilor Avalos in a conference room at Midland Library on SE 122nd Avenue. The impetus for our conversation was the new Community Board for Police Accountability or CBPA, a new, high-profile venue for oversight of the Portland Police Bureau. More than just a committee, the new, 21-member board will have a significant budget, will hire its own investigators, and will issue binding decisions. It's crucial that this new CBPA have at least one member who understands how transportation issues relate to public safety and policing. It's my hope this interview encourages someone in our audience to apply for one of the positions. You have until April 14th to get your applications in. Here's the link to the application.
A new survey of 500 Irish third-level students conducted by TELUS Digital Ireland reveals that an overwhelming 85% of students plan to remain in Ireland after completing their studies, highlighting a strong commitment to contributing to the country's workforce and economy. The research - conducted for MTU's LGBTQ+ FLAG week sponsored by TELUS Digital - provides key insights into the career aspirations, workplace preferences, and values regarding diversity, inclusion, and social responsibility of students in Ireland. When asked about their ideal workplace, nearly half (45%) of respondents indicated a preference for large multinational corporations. Meanwhile, 24% said they want to work for small to medium enterprises (SMEs), 16% expressed a desire to be self-employed, and 11% said they would like to work in start-ups, the public sector, or government. Commenting on the research findings, Logan Davidson, Global Account Manager, TELUS Digital Ireland, said: "As businesses continue to evolve, it is vital to understand and align with the expectations of new graduates to attract and retain top talent in Ireland's competitive job market. At TELUS Digital, we are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace where everyone feels empowered to be their authentic selves. This commitment extends beyond our offices into the communities we live, work and serve. That's why we're honoured to sponsor MTU's LGBTQ+ FLAG Week, reinforcing our belief that inclusivity is not just a principle we uphold - it's something we actively practice. Through meaningful initiatives and engagement, we strive to create a culture where both our team members and communities can thrive." Diversity and inclusion remain a priority for Irish students entering the workforce, with 73% emphasising mental health awareness and support as the most critical aspect. Additionally, 60% consider gender equality to be a key workplace value, while 44% prioritise disability awareness. Furthermore, when asked about the importance of diversity in senior leadership, 46% stated it was important to them, while 25% considered it slightly important. Sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) also play a crucial role in employment decisions, with 59% of students stating they are more likely to apply to organisations that continuously promote sustainable and responsible business practices. "For me, being part of a diverse workplace means feeling seen and valued for who I truly am," said Mattilie Browne, third-year Software Development student and Chairperson of the MTU LGBT+ Society Cork Campuses, "As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it's incredibly empowering to know that there are companies out there - like TELUS Digital - that genuinely care about creating inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive. Diversity in the workplace isn't just about representation; it's about fostering an environment of mutual respect, understanding, and support." An increasing number of students expect companies to take a stance on social issues, with 80% agreeing that workplaces should actively address external societal challenges such as racial injustice, inequality, accessibility, and the digital divide. Students remain optimistic yet realistic about their job prospects post-graduation. When asked how long they anticipate securing a job, responses were as follows: 53% expect to find employment within four months. 42% anticipate it will take around eight months. 6% believe it will take up to a year. Since 2007, TELUS Digital and its team members have impacted the lives of more than 1.6 million people across the globe through our volunteer activities and charitable giving, including Community Board donations.

On Sunday, December 1st, the world will come together to honor and recognize World AIDS Day 2024, “Take the rights path: My health, my right”, a day dedicated to remembering those we've lost, celebrating the resilience of those living with HIV, and recommitting ourselves to the fight against this global epidemic. This day is not just a time for reflection but a call to action—a reminder that while significant progress has been made in treatment, awareness, and prevention, the work is far from over. By recognizing this day, we not only combat the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS but also reaffirm our collective responsibility to ensure equitable access to healthcare, education, and support for all. Together, we can continue to move closer to a future free of HIV/AIDS. In “WE SEE YOU”, meet Dr. Maurice O'Brian Franklin, a distinguished Public Policy and Public Administration Adjunct Professor at California State University, Northridge. Currently, he holds pivotal positions, including membership in Manhattan's Community Board 10, where he represents Central Harlem and provides leadership in the Landmark and Transportation, Health and Human Service Committee. He is also the Second Vice-President of the Harlem Hospital Community Advisory Board, a Board member of the Prince Hall Medical Foundation, and the Chair of Health and Wellness for the founding Chapter of One Hundred Black Men in Harlem. Additionally, Dr. Franklin serves as a community advisor to the City University of New York, Graduate Center's Harlem Strong Community Mental Health Project. Recognized for his influential public opinion columns, Dr. Franklin received accolades from the Oklahoma Press Awards in 2023 for his article critiquing the police killing of Tyre Nichols, underscoring his commitment to social justice and advocacy. Dr. Franklin, as the second openly gay executive staffer for the SCLC, founded three nationally recognized nonprofit organizations: Los Angles, California based, The Black AIDS Institute (BAI), the National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC), and Second Sunday.

And that is, I don't know if that's a superpower or just an obsession, but really constantly looking for creative ways to do that is really what my primary mission and work is.In today's world, effective giving can create far-reaching impact, amplifying each dollar's potential to transform communities and save lives. During this episode of Superpowers for Good, I spoke with Frank Fredericks, Executive Director of One for the World, about this high-impact approach to philanthropy.Frank shared a compelling truth: “The latest research shows the most highly effective organizations can be a hundred times or even more effective than your average nonprofit.” This revelation underpins One for the World's mission, which seeks to drive donations toward top-performing charities vetted through rigorous evaluation, including by GiveWell. This process identifies organizations where donations make a substantial impact in areas like global public health and poverty alleviation.One area where this approach shines is in malaria prevention. “Two of the four organizations on GiveWell's list are…focused on malaria,” Frank explained, highlighting that Against Malaria Foundation and Malaria Consortium use cost-effective strategies like distributing bed nets in malaria-endemic regions, ultimately saving lives at minimal cost per intervention. But the impact isn't limited to specific diseases. Frank noted that initiatives like New Incentives provide timely support to families needing help with child vaccinations, building community resilience.This episode illuminates a powerful philosophy: by giving smarter, we can do more with each dollar. Through One for the World, donors can channel their resources into strategies that measurably reduce suffering, especially for vulnerable communities. As Frank noted, we may be closer than we think to a world without extreme poverty—if we commit to giving effectively.tl;dr:* In today's episode, Frank Fredericks highlighted the transformative impact of effective giving, explaining how directing funds to the most effective charities can multiply the impact of each dollar by up to a hundred times.* Frank described how One for the World leverages research by organizations like GiveWell to identify charities with proven life-saving outcomes, particularly those focused on issues like malaria prevention and childhood nutrition.* The conversation underscored the power of targeted philanthropic strategies, with Frank emphasizing cost-effectiveness metrics, such as dollars per life saved, as a critical measure for meaningful impact.* Reflecting on the global decline in poverty and preventable diseases, Frank conveyed optimism that, with continued support, these challenges could be largely eradicated within a generation.* Frank encouraged donors to keep an open, evolving approach to philanthropy, continually assessing new evidence to maximize impact and achieve sustainable change on a global scale.How to Develop Connection-Building As a SuperpowerFrank's superpower lies in his talent for connecting people, ideas, and resources to reduce human suffering and expand human flourishing. He sees himself as a conduit for impactful change, fostering relationships and opportunities that multiply the positive effects of social good. This superpower, he notes, is as much an obsession as it is a skill—one he uses consistently in both his personal mission and professional roles.Frank illustrated his superpower through a consulting experience with a baby skincare startup. The team initially assumed that hypoallergenic products were the primary selling point. But as they engaged with working mothers, they uncovered a deeper emotional need: these mothers valued products that allowed them to demonstrate their care for their children, even while balancing careers. Frank's curiosity-driven approach revealed an unexpected market insight, enabling the team to reshape its strategy around a genuine connection with their target customers.Tips for Developing This Superpower:* Seek Personal Connections – Prioritize relationships in your work and make it personal. Show genuine interest and empathy toward those you work with.* Focus on Persuasion – Cultivate persuasive skills. Remember that knowledge alone isn't enough to drive change; creating understanding is essential.* Embrace Exploration – Stay open-minded and curious. Adopt a “lean startup” approach, continually testing assumptions and being ready to pivot based on real insights.By following Frank's example and advice, you can make connection-building a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileFrank Fredericks (he/him):Executive Director, One for the WorldAbout One for the World: With the mission of scaling the effective giving movement addressing global poverty, One for the World inspires young professionals to commit 1% of their income to highly effective charities.

In an age where information is everywhere, it seems we know very little about how to have a discussion while practicing respect and curiosity. It seems it's easier to talk about leadership than it is to demonstrate it. We all need to do better. For our country certainly, for our personal and professional relationships definitely, and for the next generations, emphatically. Lindsey Cormack helps us understand how to raise a citizen. Lindsey is an associate professor of Political Science and Director of the Diplomacy Lab at Stevens Institute of Technology. She earned her PhD in Government, currently serves as the Secretary for Community Board 8 in Manhattan, and she created and maintains the digital database of all official Congress-to-constituent e-newsletters in the DCInbox Project. Her book, How To Raise a Citizen is a practical guide to becoming better civic role models by showing how to have conversations about the important functions of government, citizen participation, and political issues with children of all ages, even in these polarizing times. The way that children learn best is by experience and observation. Who do you want your kid to become? Do you want them to be kind, curious, brave, confident? Do you want them to be a leader in some way? Well, then for the love of them and this country, demonstrate it.

In this episode we're going to chat with someone who understands the value of a good civics education. This comes at a time when observers are rating the US as a flawed democracy, and a current presidential nominee has been indicted for insurrection. Gerrymandering of districts is rampant, voter suppression bills are common, and a significant minority of voters seem to feel this is just fine.

She earned her PhD in Government from New York University and is raising a daughter on the Upper East Side. She currently serves as the Secretary for Community Board 8 in Manhattan.

In this latest episode, we speak with Dr. Lindsey Cormack about ways parents can support their children in becoming engaged citizens. Lindsey is a civics expert and the author of the book HOW TO RAISE A CITIZEN (And Why It's Up to You to Do It). We speak with Lindsey about how Americans' civic knowledge is alarmingly low; how young voters struggle to navigate the complicated system of voter registration, and that civics instruction receives the lowest number of K-12 hours out of any subject. Further, as Lindsey notes, we have a culture of considering political talk to be taboo which means many adults, on both sides of the aisle, aren't having productive conversations with children about government issues. Because of this, Lindsey speaks to how parents and caregivers can create a solid foundation of civics knowledge for their children and provide them with strategies and necessary know-how to be able to raise engaged and informed citizens. Lindsey Cormack is an Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of the Diplomacy Lab at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey.

In an America riven with both civic discord and ignorance, how can we nurture a next generation of responsibly informed citizens? That's the all important question Lindsey Cormack addresses in her new book, How to Raise a Citizen. There are no magical tricks to learning how to be a good citizen, Cormack says, no clever shortcuts or miraculous new technologies. Instead, it's up to all of us to take responsibility for giving our kids the necessary knowledge to understand the workings of our democratic system. And that all begins at the local level, she insists, where the real business of American democracy gets done on a daily basis. Lindsey Cormack is an associate professor of Political Science and Director of the Diplomacy Lab at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. Her first book, Congress and U.S. Veterans: From the GI Bill to the VA Crisis investigates the differences between legislative efforts and lip service paid to veterans by members of the US Congress. Her second book, How to Raise a Citizen & Why it's Up to You to Do It, aims to reinvigorate multigenerational political discussion and governmental know-how after examining the somewhat dire state of civic education in the United States. She earned her PhD in Government from New York University and is raising a daughter on the Upper East Side. She currently serves as the Secretary for Community Board 8 in Manhattan. Her research has been published in Political Behavior, Congress & the Presidency, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Political Science Research and Methods, American Politics Research, Politics & Policy, Politics Groups & Identities, Politics & Gender, The Journal of Gender Studies, Energy Economics, The Legislative Scholar as well as in popular outlets including the New York Times, The Washington Post, FiveThirtyEight, ProPublica, Roll Call, The New York Post, NBC News, the LSE USCentre, and The Hill, and more.

As a political science professor at Stevens Institute of Technology and author of the book *How to Raise a Citizen*, Lindsey shares her experiences and research on how parents can foster civic responsibility in their children. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including education, the role of social media, and practical steps for parents to prepare their children for active citizenship. Key Takeaways: 1. Importance of Civic Education: - Lindsey emphasizes the need for parents to step in where schools may fall short in providing comprehensive civic education. She highlights that most U.S. students receive limited education on government, often only in their senior year, which may not be sufficient for understanding and participating in the political system. 2. Raising Engaged Citizens: - Lindsey's book, *How to Raise a Citizen*, is aimed at parents, caregivers, and educators who want to equip their children with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate and influence the political system. The book also addresses the mental health and college admission benefits of being an informed and engaged citizen. 3. Starting the Conversation at Home: - Lindsey suggests that parents initiate political discussions with their children by asking open-ended questions like, “What have you heard about this?” This approach helps avoid confrontations and encourages a healthy exchange of ideas, especially when dealing with information from social media platforms like TikTok. 4. Social Media and Political Content: - The conversation highlights the challenge of dealing with political content on social media. Lindsey recommends that parents engage with their children by asking them to share what they're seeing online and discussing it together, fostering critical thinking and a better understanding of different perspectives. 5. Preparing for College and Beyond: - Parents are encouraged to help their children register to vote, understand the different levels of government, and read the U.S. Constitution to better prepare them for active citizenship and the college experience. These steps can also ease the transition to college by fostering socialization and involvement in community activities. 6. Practical Tips for Parents: - Lindsey provides actionable advice for parents, such as helping their teens register to vote early, encouraging them to participate in local politics, and facilitating conversations about political processes. These efforts help build the skills needed for college success and lifelong civic engagement. Closing Thoughts:Shellee and Lindsey conclude the episode by encouraging parents to take an active role in their children's civic education. By fostering an understanding of government and politics early on, parents can help their children become informed, engaged citizens who are well-prepared for college and beyond.

Transformation of Banana Republic: Jeanne Jackson reflects on her leadership at Banana Republic, where she took the brand from being perceived as a stepchild to becoming a formidable brand within the Gap portfolio. This transformation involved assembling a high-quality team and pushing against opposition to lead the brand into the e-commerce space.2. Transition to Retail Career: Jeanne's journey into retail wasn't initially planned. She had intended to enter the consumer packaged goods industry but was convinced by someone in the retail sector, Frank Arnone, to explore a career in retail. This encounter shifted her trajectory, leading her to successful roles at various retail companies.3. Learning and Leadership Development: Jeanne attributes her leadership skills to lifelong learning and accumulating experiences. From her early exposure to extemporaneous speaking in high school to her experiences in business school, including the Harvard Business School method's case study approach, she developed the ability to assimilate data quickly and make decisions convincingly.4. Selecting Board Positions: Jeanne shares her approach to selecting board positions, emphasizing a deep understanding and passion for the brand. She believes in contributing meaningfully to the boards she joins, bringing strategic thinking, leadership, and a clear path to impact. She emphasizes the importance of diversity in the boardroom.5. Career Highlights at Banana Republic and Nike: Jeanne expresses pride in her work at Banana Republic and Nike. At Banana Republic, she played a crucial role in turning the brand into a significant player within the Gap portfolio and was an early advocate for embracing e-commerce. Her time at Nike involved joining the company's board and later leading the direct-to-consumer business, significantly impacting the company's trajectoryin that space.6. Consumer Focus from Disney: Jeanne Jackson highlights the importance of consumer focus, a core competency she developed during her time at Disney. The strategic work at Disney emphasized understanding how consumers felt about the brand, their interactions, and motivations. This consumer-centric approach became foundational in her subsequent roles at companies like Victoria's Secret, Banana Republic, and Nike.7. E-commerce Motivation: Jeanne Jackson explains the motivation behind embracing e-commerce during her time at Nike. She observed the high consumer demand in San Francisco, attributed to the availability of broadband. Recognizing that consumers would want to buy products online, the decision was made to meet consumers where they were and be ready for a broader audience as broadband adoption increased nationwide.8. Technology as a Base Level: According to Jackson, technology is a crucial aspect of any business strategy, especially in the realm of e-commerce. She emphasizes that technology is a baseline requirement for running a successful e-commerce business, covering aspects like quick checkout, easy navigation, and efficient inventory management.9. AI in Retail: Jeanne Jackson acknowledges the significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in retail. She anticipates that AI will bring another level of capability to the retail industry, and those who neglect its integration may miss out on valuable opportunities. The discussion also touches on the potential impact of AI on job roles, with Jackson suggesting that while some roles may be replaced, there could be opportunities for higher efficiency and smarter use of human resources.10. Evolution of Retail: The conversation delves into the evolving landscape of retail, with a focus on digitally native brands. Jackson expresses excitement about these brands that have captured consumer attention, especially those that emerged or gained momentum during the pandemic. The discussion highlights the changing strategies of brands, including considerations of omni-channel approaches and the exploration of various channels to reach customers, even mentioning the challenges and uncertainties associated with selling on platforms like Amazon.
Portlanders passed a ballot measure in November 2020 to overhaul police oversight with more than 80% of the vote. And exactly how to do that is what the volunteer members of the Police Accountability Commission have been meeting for the better part of two years to do. That commission presented its findings and roughly 100-page report to the city council this summer. The city council will be voting Wednesday on whether to adopt a modified version of that PAC report and give the city attorney the authority to decide what will be submitted to the DOJ. The federal agency must ultimately approve elements for how a new Community Board for Police Accountability will work. That’s because the city is still subject to a federal settlement to address DOJ findings that officers used excessive force on people experiencing mental illness. That agreement included changes to a variety of police policies including the process for investigating officer misconduct. Dan Handleman is a co-founding member of Peace and Justice Works, and a member of the PAC. He joins us to provide an overview of the process, his perspective and what comes next.
As I celebrate my 43rd birthday, it's a time of great reflection. The theme of this year continued to be "The Year of The Opposite.” It's a good time to look back and reflect on what went well and what didn't. Health TriumphsThe year started with a momentous occasion: running my first half-marathon distance on my 42nd birthday in Las Vegas. As the year unfolded, my health milestones were significant. In September 2022, my risk of dying from a cardiac event in the next 10 years showed a dramatic drop from 16% to 2%. Even my doctors were amazed; in that same month, they stopped all my medications and my medical conditions had been resolved! This was one of the proudest days of my life. Year Of The Opposite - Travis Stoliker's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Continuing my health journey, I achieved a new low weight 177 lbs and raised my VO2 Max from "Below Average" to "High." One study suggests that this cut my risk of dying at any time in half! (Reduction in All Cause Mortality.) With a commitment to running, I logged 1,000 miles in 365 days, and I achieved a sub-7-minute mile along the way. I couldn't have imagined this a year ago when I was incapable of running a short distance around the block. Daring FeatsMy "Opposite Challenges" ranged from physically demanding feats to mind testing experiences. Running continued to be my favorite work out activity. I ran 1 mile backwards, which is way harder than I expected and also incredibly good for your knees. I tackled a 2,000,000 Scoville hot wing by completing the Hot Ones Challenge. I taught myself how to hold my breath for 2 minutes and 44 seconds and I broke my personal record in the 41 degree cold plunge by being able to stay submerged up to my neck for 14 minutes. Cold plunging is one of the best feelings that I have found in the world. I LOVE it! I will be writing a full post about it soon. Professional AchievementsIn the professional sphere, Saddleback BBQ, the restaurant I co-own, received the Michigan 50 Small Businesses To Watch Award which is the most prestigious business award in State. We also accepted the “Certificate of Pure Achievement” from the state of Michigan and we were also honored as the Greater Lansing Business Of The Year. These accolades weren't without their challenges, though. Our Pizza place on Pennsylvania had the front window smashed and the cash register stolen and a brazen robbery where our mobile pizza oven was stolen from our west side location. Luckily, we were able to recover the pizza oven in another city 50 miles away. Community InvolvementCommunity involvement is very important to me so I volunteered for new positions to serve. I joined the Community Board of Ele's Place which is an incredible non-profit that helps children that are dealing with the death of a parent. My 5 year old, Lane, started Kindergarten this year and I was appointed to Trustee of the Haslett School Board. Which also led to my first time expelling a student… not fun. I will be sharing more about my experience on the school board in a post soon. Personal Growth and SkillsOn a personal growth front, I got a Concealed Carry Pistol Permit, learned how to make donuts at Sprinkles Donuts, and even tried my hand at walleye fishing. All of these activities might seem disparate, but they're united in the fact that I would have never done these before my year of the opposite. They were pushing me out of my comfort zone and I was challenging myself. It also led me to meet new people and get a better respect for the views of others. Coping and Self-ImprovementThis year wasn't without its emotional challenges. As you may recall, every night I rate myself on a scale from -2 to +2. +2 representing an amazingly awesome day. -2 representing an awful terrible day. Luckily, last year I was able to turn my mood around quickly after my friends passing by pursuing the Year Of The Opposite. My average rating for age 41 was .72. Which meant that I was in the happy range. Unfortunately, my rating for age 42 slipped a little to .58. Looking back at my journals I can see what happened…After my first Year Of The Opposite was completed in March of 2023, I relaxed some of my rules. I drank alcohol on 18 days and I would occasionally use marijuana with friends. I was trying to test to see what impact this would have on my happiness and performance. Well, the results are in, and they aren't good. There is a inverse correlation between my happiness and me using alcohol and marijuana. My happiness ratings consistently go down in the days following my use of these substances. I was pretty surprised by how stark the effect was. TravelLast year I did a 360 review where I had friends, family, co-workers and business partners rate me and provide feedback about my performance anonymously. I then fed that information into artificial intelligence to have it create a new years resolution list. One of the things that continually came up was that I didn't travel enough. So this year we tried to travel at least once a month. We travelled to numerous places in Michigan and also visited Nashville, Chicago, North Carolina, Buffalo, Pennsylvania, Las Vegas, and Cleveland. (The Schvitz in Chicago and Cleveland are amazing. Thanks Laur!) In summaryIn summary, my 42nd year was a transformative one. I became healthier, braved new challenges, achieved professional milestones, and contributed to my community. As I turn 43, I'm not just a year older but immeasurably enriched, eagerly looking forward to what the next year has in store.

Banking on Cultura: Where Latino Culture and Entrepreneurship Collide
Victoria Jenn welcomes Assemblywoman Amanda Septimo, an Afro-latina, making waves in NY politics. We begin with Amanda's inspiring journey from the streets of the South Bronx to political corridors, revealing the core of her leadership, her passions, and the intricate dance between principles and political necessity. The conversation then transitions to a profound look at racism within the Latino community. Touching upon the intersections of identity, representation, and heritage, Amanda opens up about her Dominican American background and the challenges Afro-Latinos often face in finding acceptance. We talk trailblazing and politics, but you know we always have some bonchinche for you. Amanda candidly shares what it's like dating as a politician and public figure who often intimidates men by just being herself. In this episode, Victoria Jenn and Assemblywoman Amanda Septimo discuss: - Amanda's transformative experience, from South Bronx activism to her role as a politician. - Dating while representin' and how she is protecting herself from political scandals - The uniqueness of New York's part-time legislature and its implications + how much politicians make $$ - The essence of political life and maintaining authenticity in a constantly evolving landscape. - Addressing racial tensions, fostering unity, and promoting comprehensive representation in various fields. - Complexities of racial identity within the Latino community. Tune in to immerse yourself in a thought-provoking discourse that spans politics, identity, dating, and the challenges + rewards of advocacy and representation. About Assemblywoman Amanda Septimo: From the vibrant streets of the South Bronx, Amanda Septimo emerged as a fiery advocate, committed to dismantling social and economic injustices. Sparking her activism at just 12, she quickly moved from recognizing problems to pioneering solutions. Partnering with The Point Community Development Corporation's A.C.T.I.O.N. program in her formative years, Amanda was a force to be reckoned with—whether halting a new jail at Oak Point or driving change in public transit. Her early endeavors didn't go unnoticed; the New York Yankees and Community Board 2 heralded her with the 2005 Youth Leadership Award. This was just the beginning. Armed with the prestigious Posse Scholarship, she stormed Vanderbilt University, wielding her platform to challenge prevailing injustices. Her unyielding spirit saw her advocate for marginalized Spanish-speaking immigrants and later, championing educational reforms with the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators. But perhaps most telling of her grit was her indomitable resolve in the political arena. After an initial setback, Amanda clinched a seat in the 84th Assembly District, proving that perseverance trumps all. Today, as a beacon of hope, Amanda Septimo continues her relentless pursuit for true equity in the South Bronx.

David makes a guest appearance on The Board Game Community Show. In this crossover episode, David and Riley nerd out about all their favorite nerdy topics, including podcast production, legacy games, and managing social dynamics at game night. David and Riley share insights on producing the Reality Escape Pod and tips for improving podcast quality. They delve into different board games, including legacy games Clank: Legacy and Aeon's End: Legacy, discussing strategies and gameplay dynamics. David also talks about Diplomacy, a board game that he considers one of the most elegant ever designed, and its impact on personal relationships. They explore managing personal feelings when playing social manipulation and deduction games, including Survivor and poker. They discuss David's moderation of a panel on games at PAX Unplugged, and they touch on non-game related interests, such as David's fascination with the video essay format and growing up with "nerdy interests." David and Riley have such a great rapport, and with their mutual interests, it's easy to see why they had such great chemistry on this show.
