Alvera Sargent is Snipe Clan of the Mohawk Nation of Akwesasne, a mother of two, and grandmother to four amazing grandchildren.

She has worked to revitalize our Kanienkeha (Mohawk) language and culture.

The opening is tentatively scheduled for September 2024. Waylon Cook from Akwesasne, is Wolf Clan of the Mohawk Nation. He is a graduate of a 2-year Kanien'keha Mohawk Immersion Language program and has been a lifelong learner of the Mohawk language. Upon graduating, Waylon was able to teach at the Akwesasne Freedom School to continue passing on language and culture to future generations. He currently works with the Friends of the Akwesasne Freedom School to help ensure the revitalization of the Mohawk language and culture. His team is currently working towards the completion of a new school building so that Akwesasne Freedom School students have a healthy learning environment for generations to come. Waylon has dedicated his career to culture and language revitalization efforts and continue to work towards reversing the effects of colonialism to the Mohawk culture and language.

Dave Eggers is a writer who does not want to be put in a box. His writing often defies easy cataloging or genre classification and he doesn't like to be specific about who his readers should be. His latest, THE EYES AND THE IMPOSSIBLE could be loosely described as an animal fable, but it isn't exactly that. And it could be described as a book that is good for younger readers, but it isn't exactly that either. Here is what we ARE certain of: It's wonderful, funny, engaging, original and full of joy! Eggers' words, his writing and his characters will stay with you long after you close the book. We also talk to his illustrator for EYES, the very talented and prolific Shawn Harris, whose inspirations and technique might surprise you.The Eyes and The Impossible by Dave Eggers A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers Her Right Foot by Dave Eggers, illustrated by Shawn Harris What Can a Citizen Do?

His latest novel, “City of Dreams”, continues the saga of “City on Fire,” which told of a mob war using as a template the story of the Trojan War, The Iliad, the Odyssey, the Aeneid and other works. In this latest novel, we follow the character of Danny Ryan, (Aeneas) as he finds himself in Hollywood, and falling in love with one of filmdom's biggest stars, which tells the story of Aeneas and Dido, with forays into the Odyssey and the greek tragedies of Aeschylus and Europides. The third volume, which shifts the locale to Las Vegas, is scheduled to be published in April, 2024. Don Winslow has stated that these will be his final novels.

Care More Be Better: Social Impact, Sustainability + Regeneration Now
Come on a journey to discover the roots of coffee in the war-torn region of Yemen with Mokhtar Alkhanshali, CEO and Founder of Port of Mokha. You'll learn how and why Mokhtar was compelled to create a socially responsible coffee company that paid growers three times the rate of open market coffees, so farmers in this oldest region of coffee growing in the world could thrive while producing internationally acknowledged, award-winning coffees of the highest quality. The resounding message you'll hear is one of conscious consumerism, voting with your dollars, paying value for the food you put on your table, and understanding its roots. About Our Guest: Mokhtar Akhanshali, CEO and Founder of Port of Mokha Historian, community organizer, and coffee innovator, Mokhtar Alkhanshali envisions a world where industry empowers rather than exploits, uplifts rather than represses. Seeking to reverse Yemen's nearly lost art of coffee cultivation, he founded Port of Mokha. Combining his knowledge of specialty coffee production, progressive infrastructure strategy and community organizing, Mokhtar has helped to reverse the declining quality of Yemeni coffee and re-establish it as the one of industries most treasured origins. Best-selling author Dave Eggers' forthcoming title “The Monk of Mokha” traces Mokhtar's journey as a social entrepreneur and his harrowing escape from war torn Yemen with his first coffee samples. Mokhtar can be found amongst his coffee farmers in remote villages or speaking around the world on topics of social entrepreneurship, community development and, of course, coffee.

19:Lauren Kashan (Sharptooth) &Femmes in Hardcore WELCOME TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST! This week, Katy Hamm returns as the host of the podcast to bring you a special chat with a very badass guest. Lauren Kashan is the lead singer for the melodic hardcore band, Sharptooth. Lauren also holds a Herpetology degree from Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland. She is a self-proclaimed Reptile Lady and works as an Environmental educator, regularly visiting schools, libraries, and other spaces where she teaches folks about reptiles and other fun creatures.In this episode, Katy and Lauren bond over their shared love of hardcore music, wanting more femme representation in hardcore, and how fighting the patriarchy often starts in the pit. Katy's return to hosting duties is a doozy this week and you are bound to love it! And you get to hear some of the kickass tunes from the new Sharptooth album, Clever Girl, which is out THIS FRIDAY through Pure Noise Records.And stay tuned later this week for an extended episode of Katy and Lauren's chat - cuz they just had SO MUCH to talk about this week!EPISODE NOTES:- Just a heads up - there is A LOT of explicit language on this episode.- I absolutely love that Sharptooth's name is a reference to Land Before Time - because it's one of my favorite movies from my childhood.- And the new album, "Clever Girl," is a reference to Jurassic Park - because after all, Lauren loves Velociraptors.- Lauren suggests checking out the Gone series from Michael Grant.- Both Katy and Lauren have recently gone through the Dave Eggars book, "The Circle," which was adapted and released as a film this year.- Another commonality among Katy and Lauren is their love for the album, "Diamond" by Stick to Your Guns. - Adding more to their shared obsessions, each also have a tattoo for the band Every Time I Die - Katy's being a quote from the song "Ebolarama," and Lauren's being an inner lip tattoo of the title of the band's debut LP, Hot Damn!- in a not-so surprising turn of events, it is not shocking to learn that the Herpetologist and massive animal/reptile lover/educator, Lauren, owns every single Animorphs book ever released. MUSIC NOTES:- This week we got to share tunes from the new Sharptooth album, "Clever Girl," which comes out THIS FRIDAY on Pure Noise Records.- You can snag all sorts of merch bundles, including CD, vinyl, and digital copies of the new album by visiting Sharptooth.Merchnow.com.- Make sure to also check out the band's new music video for the politically charged title track, "Clever Girl," on youtube!- If you like what you heard from the band, make sure you catch them on tour with Stray from the Path and Anti-Flag this winter - a tour that was very recently announced! ADVERTISING NOTE:- This week we hyped the vinyl subscription service, Table Turned!- Table-Turned is a DIY record-of-the-month club.
