What if the moment that nearly broke you became the turning point that clarified your calling? We open our sixth season with a candid, hope-charged conversation about rescue, refuge, and the quiet courage it takes to be still long enough to hear God's next step. Joined by New Hope Girls' U.S. director, Jeri Purdy, and board member Rob Wallstrom, we trace a story that moves from personal surrender to national transformation in the Dominican Republic.Jeri shares how stepping away from a beloved role led to a hard reset—complete with failed plans, forced stillness, and a rebuilt rhythm of prayer and Scripture. Rob adds the lens of Hesed, the Hebrew picture of covenant love, and shows how that theology becomes practice: immediate care for girls in crisis and the deeper work of restoration that rewrites identity. Together, we explore how New Hope Girls serves children as young as two, walks with them through education and adulthood, pays a living wage to women artisans, and keeps families close with on-site daycare. The mission reaches weekly into the barrio to serve 300 girls and, remarkably, now partners with the DR government to help reform national rescue and protection protocols with a Christ-centered, trauma-informed approach.Along the way, we talk about discerning God's will without needing the next 45 steps, why stillness is not weakness, and how closeness to a good God births patient, bold leadership. If your heart beats for justice, adoption, anti-trafficking, or faith that actually changes lives, this story will stay with you.Be part of the movement: pray for caregivers and girls, support artisans by shopping their work, or become a monthly hope champion. If something stirred you, rewind, write it down, and ask, “Lord, what are you saying to me?” Then subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the hope.

This week on DanceSpeak, I sit down with Brian 'Footwork' Green, a master teacher and influential figure in street and club dance culture whose impact spans generations. Recorded live in August 2025, this episode captures Brian's unfiltered thoughts on musicality, lineage, and what often gets misunderstood about street dance. We explore competition versus convention culture, the realities of the dance economy, and the difference between who you are and the artistic name you move under. Brian speaks honestly about off-beat dancing, “auto-tuned” movement, teaching, trends, and what gets lost when dance drifts away from the heart. The conversation also touches on race, representation, and identity in dance spaces—layered, nuanced, and rooted in lived experience rather than soundbites. Insightful, funny, challenging, and deeply grounded in culture, this episode is for dancers who love dance enough to think about it, question it, and keep it alive.

 Starting in the autumn of 2025, the US began attacking small civilian boats in or near Venezuelan waters, summarily executing over 126 people. January, 2026 began with it kidnapping Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife, and bringing them to the US. This month, just weeks after the kidnapping, Haymarket Books published the immensely useful and urgent book, Venezuela in Crisis. The historical range of the book begins with the regime of Hugo Chavez and ends with the 2024 elections in Venezuela.We are immensely fortunate to be able to speak with the editor and translator of this collection of essays, Anderson Bean, and two of its contributors, Emiliano Terán and Simón Rodríguez.  The key argument of the book is that, even by his own admission, Chavez was not able to completely transform Venezuela into a socialist state. The book explains the roots of this failure, despite the inspiring successes of Chavismo. It then tracks an ever-increasing neoliberal and oppressive trend carried forward by Maduro, which is characterized by burgeoning extractivism, corruption, and suppression of human rights.  We end by calling on socialists and progressives everywhere to resist the tendency to side with Maduro's false claims to socialism, and to focus instead on building solidarity with the people of Venezuela.Anderson Bean is a sociology professor at North Carolina A&T State University, a member of the Tempest Collective, and a North Carolina–based activist and editor. He is a contributor to Venezuela in Crisis: Socialist Perspectives (Haymarket Books) and the author of Communes and the Venezuelan State: The Struggle for Participatory Democracy in a Time of Crisis (Lexington Books).Simón Rodríguez is a Venezuelan socialist writer and journalist. He was a student organizer and later became professor at the Universidad de los Andes. When he was a member of the national leadership of the Socialism and Freedom Party, he ran as a candidate for the National Assembly in 2015. He is a founding member of Laclase.info and Venezuelanvoices.org and has published articles in Humania del Sur, NACLA Report on the Americas, The New Arab, and Rebelión and on dozens of electronic outlets, and his articles have been translated into six languages. He has given talks and lectures in Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. He is coauthor with Miguel Sorans of the book Why Did Chavismo Fail? A Left-Opposition Balance Sheet.Emiliano Terán is a sociologist from the Central University of Venezuela and has a master's degree in ecological economics from the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He is a PhD candidate in environmental science and technology at the same institution. He is also an associate researcher at the Center for Development Studies in Venezuela and a member of the Observatory of Political Ecology of Venezuela

Hope From the Margins was born from real encounters—encounters with people the world often overlooks, and with Jesus where He chooses to dwell.In this episode, I share the story behind the movement and the book Hope From the Margins, a journey that began on the fringes of society and continues this week as I travel with colleagues to Rome to present to Pope Leo and the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development.My life was forever changed the day I encountered Jesus in a dump in Mexico City. That moment ignited a mission that has taken me to the margins across the globe—Africa, India, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and throughout the United States—where I met Christ in the poor, the disenfranchised, the disabled, the sick, the mentally ill, the lonely, the elderly, and those forgotten by society.Along the way, this work has grown into a collaboration with doctors, bishops, social workers, missionaries, healthcare professionals, farmers, survivors of abuse, and pro-life advocates—united by one desire: to share the hope we ourselves have received with the world.This is not a story of us and them, as the world so often insists. As today's Gospel and the Scriptures remind us, we are called to be light—to shine so that love can be experienced. Showing up matters. Because when we do, an explosion of grace happens.Most powerfully, I've learned this truth: it is on the margins that we are evangelized. It is there that we receive hope from our brothers and sisters—and encounter the living Christ.This episode is an invitation to see differently, love boldly, and believe that hope is alive… especially on the marginsCheck out my books on Amazon as all book purchases help to further the global mission work and current book project HOPE from the MarginsBOOKS-The SAINT Next Door-FIRE Burning WithinSOCIAL MEDIA: @ef3lifeLearn more about Hope from the Margins:

This week on the HowToBBQRight Podcast, we're back from vacation, and let's just say things got absolutely NASTY down here in the South (00:24). We've eaten plenty of great food over the years, but some of the BEST food we've ever had might have been in the Dominican Republic (03:34). Super Bowl Sunday is almost here, and we are beyond PUMPED for football, food, and BBQ (06:18). Y'all have been patient, and don't worry — we're officially back to recording new BBQ videos (15:28). If you're cooking pulled pork, we're sharing the BEST way to keep it hot, juicy, and ready to serve for a crowd (18:18). The most important step in finishing a pork butt is doctoring it up the right way, and we're breaking it all down (23:10). Everyone loves classic buffalo wings, but Malcom just created a BRAND NEW chili crisp wing recipe that will absolutely blow your mind (32:42). Tyler whipped up some fajita hot dogs, and they've officially made it onto our must-cook list (46:50). We found some quick and easy TikTok cooking tips that we're planning to test the next time we fire up the grease (50:23).

In this episode of Gracias, Come Again, we sit down with actor, comedian, and stand-up comic Jason Andors, a New York City native whose career has spanned decades in the U.S. comedy and acting world, and who is now going viral across the Dominican Republic under his beloved alter ego, El Tiguere Vacano. Jason takes us back to his upbringing in NYC, born to Jewish parents but raised in a city that shaped his deep connection to Black and Latino culture. He opens up about a journey that surprises many, from being a trained ballet dancer, to performing on the Black comedy circuit, to ultimately finding a second home and a second chapter in the Dominican Republic. We go all the way into la cultura. Jason talks about how he fell in love with the DR, how the island embraced him right back, and how he now lives there part-time creating viral content that Dominicans genuinely love. He shares stories of acting alongside legendary Dominican actor Manny Perez, finding real love on the island, his appreciation for Dominican women and Dominican food, and even how he got his two elderly Jewish parents to jump into skits that ended up going viral. The conversation also highlights his nonprofit work and his deep commitment to giving back to the Dominican Republic through building homes, giving away toys, and supporting communities in need. Jason speaks from the heart about why his desire to give back to the island is bigger than words, and how important it is for him to show respect, not exploitation. We talk about the moment he decided to fully lean into becoming “Dominican,” from doing dembow, to immersing himself in neighborhoods that even some locals avoid, all in the name of understanding the culture from the inside out. Jason also shares what it was like being a judge on Dominicana's Got Talent, and how surreal it feels to be embraced everywhere he goes, with fans stopping him for photos and love. This episode is funny, honest, and deeply cultural. It shows how Dominicans and Latinos embrace anyone who truly loves and respects the culture, and how Jason Andors is not playing Dominican culture, he is living in it, celebrating it, and making people laugh along the way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this solo episode, Valeria shares why she's intentionally choosing a quieter year, and what that really looks like in a world that constantly asks us to be louder, faster, and more visible. She reflects on her approach to 2026 - why she doesn't want it to be a “bigger” year, and how focusing on less distraction has brought her more clarity and joy. She also recaps a recent trip to the Dominican Republic with her boys, opening up about how different traveling feels now that her kids are older. And how those slower, more present moments reminded her of what truly matters. Throughout the episode, she shares practical shifts she's making - like using the Be Present app, protecting offline moments, and choosing opportunities that expand her life, not just her calendar. From living more offline and rethinking her relationship with social media, to finding balance as a creator whose work exists online, Valeria explores the tension between visibility and peace. And why not everything meaningful needs an audience while it's forming? This is a good listen for anyone craving more calm, fewer distractions, and a slower, more intentional way of living.

This week, Thom Francis welcomes Judith Kerman to the mic. She shared her work as the featured reader at the Third Thursday Poetry Night at the Social Justice Center in Albany, NY, on August 21, 2025. +++++ For over 20 years, Dan Wilcox has hosted the Third Thursday Poetry Night, welcoming poets and writers from all over the region and beyond. This open mic with a featured reader series has seen hundreds of poets take the stage and share their work with a vibrant audience of artists, writers, and creators young and old. Whether it's your first time reading poetry in public or you have been around the local literary community for years, the Third Thursday Poetry Night always feels like home. Last August, poet Judith Kerman was the featured reader. As host Dan Wilcox noted on his blog, “She began, & continued, with poems that pretend to be, or are, definitions, from her book Definitions; her first example was “Diaspora" in nine small parts, images, obliquely, historically responding to the dictionary definition.” She continued with the philosophical “Algorhythm” and “Canned Soup,” a prose poem and meditation on soup. She wrapped up her set with “Scoliosis,” “Why I Never Married,” and one final definition poem, “Israel,” in 10 tiny parts. Judith Kerman is a poet, performer, and artist who has published ten books or chapbooks of poetry. Her most recent work, Definitions, was published by Fomite Press in 2021. She has published two translations from Spanish: A Woman in Her Garden: Selected Poems of Dulce María Loynaz (White Pine Press, 2002) and Praises and Offenses: Three Women Poets from the Dominican Republic (BOA Editions, 2009). Kerman was a Fulbright Scholar to the Dominican Republic, where she translated poetry and fiction by Dominican women. She was also awarded the Abbie M. Kopps Poetry Prize and an Honorable Mention from the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award.

Eduardo Holguín, is a Dominican creative director, photographer, and art director, and the founder of By Holguín, a forward-thinking creative studio shaping the future of media and storytelling. In this episode, Eduardo opens up about his journey from the Dominican Republic to the United States, growing up in a well to do family, and making the intentional decision to carve out his own path in America. He breaks down what it really took to build his career on his own terms and how community, culture, and mentorship played a critical role in his success. Eduardo shares the story behind landing on Forbes 30 Under 30, crediting the support of a fellow Dominican woman who believed in his vision and helped open doors. Together, we challenge the tired narrative that Gen Z is lazy, discussing how this generation is working harder than ever, creating opportunities, and kicking down doors in industries that were never built with us in mind. The conversation also dives into his work with global brands like CoverGirl, the rise of a new generation of creatives redefining journalism and media, and how Eduardo is building platforms that center underrepresented voices. He talks about what creative leadership looks like in 2026, how culture drives innovation, and where he sees his work evolving next. In a moment of raw transparency, Eduardo also opens up about his hair transplant journey and how sharing that experience on social media has sparked conversations around masculinity, vulnerability, and self-confidence, helping straight men reclaim their hairlines and their confidence without shame. This is a must-watch interview for anyone interested in Latino excellence, creative leadership, Gen Z culture, and the future of media, storytelling, and representation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many relationships are running on invisible agreements we never consciously chose — unspoken rules, assumptions, and habits that once worked but now quietly drain our energy. In this episode of Hi Felicia, I'm joined by Elizabeth, a seasoned relationship coach who helps women reset the unseen contracts shaping their closest relationships — without guilt, burnout, or blowing everything up. Elizabeth breaks down how to recognize when an old agreement is no longer aligned, how to initiate an empowered conversation that actually lands, and how to decide — with clarity and confidence — whether to rewrite the terms or untether entirely. This is not theory. This is language, frameworks, and tools you can use immediately to restore vitality, intimacy, and self-trust in relationships of all kinds. Elizabeth is a relationship coach with over 20 years of experience supporting women, couples, executives, and creatives across the globe. Her client work spans New York, Spain, Sweden, and the Dominican Republic, where she has helped burned-out women rebuild their lives and businesses, guided artists through major career comebacks, and supported partners navigating relationship repair or conscious uncoupling.

This first episode of 2026 of The Color Authority podcast features an in-depth conversation with Salvador Reyes and Josefina Larrain of the Mérida-based studio Reyes Rios + Larrain Arquitectos. The discussion centres on the studio's philosophy of "living heritage," where they restore historic Yucatecan haciendas and manor houses not as static monuments, but as functional, contemporary spaces that preserve ancestral knowledge and memory.Design Studio based in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, founded by architect Salvador Reyes Ríos and Josefina Larraín Lagos. Since 2001, they have equally devoted themselves to contemporary architectural design and restoration of old haciendas, manor houses, buildings, and heritage sites, adapting them for new, compatible uses. A local and modern sensibility, combined with a comprehensive approach to architecture, interior design, furniture, landscaping, and construction coordination, characterizes their new buildings and restoration/reuse projects. Other contributions to Mexican architecture include the revival and reinterpretation of local materials and techniques, such as Chukum-based mortar and structural concrete blended with red earth known as kancab. Reyes Ríos + Larraín are also recognized for creating an original architectural language that has shaped the contemporary identity of Yucatán's built environment, as well as the ongoing experimentation with local materials and processes. Their work has been featured in specialized books and magazines across the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America, earning both national acclaim and international visibility. The book Place, Matter, and Belonging, published in two editions by Arquine in 2017, is the first monograph dedicated to their body of work. The studio is currently designing projects in Mexico, United States and Dominican Republic.Support the showThank you for listening!

Interview with Jeffrey Wilson, President and CEO, Precipitate Gold Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/precipitate-gold-tsxvprg-barrick-partnership-grows-to-22m-as-regulatory-path-clears-6789Recording date: 22nd January 2026As gold approaches $5,000 per ounce, Precipitate Gold Corporation has positioned itself for an aggressive exploration campaign across two promising Dominican Republic projects. The junior explorer recently closed a C$6.5 million financing in early January 2026, bringing its treasury to C$9.5 million with no underlying work commitments on its 100%-owned properties.The most significant development for Precipitate has been the dramatic de-risking of the Dominican Republic as a mining jurisdiction through neighbor GoldQuest Mining Corp.'s success. GoldQuest's share price surged from C$0.16 to over C$2.00 in twelve months as the company advanced its Romero project through environmental approval toward a bankable feasibility study. This progression validated that projects in the Dominican Republic can advance to production, opening capital access for regional explorers.Precipitate's recent financing was notably supported by Dominican investors who watched their peers profit from early GoldQuest positions. According to President and CEO Jeffrey Wilson, wealthy Dominican business individuals who passed on GoldQuest at lower prices are now seeking similar opportunities in the district.The company has identified two near-term drill catalysts. At Pueblo Grande, which surrounds Barrick Gold's Pueblo Viejo mine, Precipitate discovered an untested chargeability anomaly following comprehensive review of historical data. The company plans to test this target with 5-8 drill holes at 100-350 meter depths in a permitted, accessible area with geophysical characteristics similar to Pueblo Viejo mineralisation.At Juan de Herrera, adjacent to GoldQuest's Romero deposit, Precipitate has advanced four to five targets to drill-ready status through twelve months of geochemistry, mapping, and geophysics work. The 40-kilometer shared claim boundary with GoldQuest positions the company within the same geological district for potential "string of pearls" style mineralisation.Wilson emphasized that all factors have aligned for the first time in Precipitate's 13-year history: drill-ready targets, strong gold prices, capital availability, and responsive market conditions following years of disciplined capital preservation.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/precipitate-gold-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Faedah Totah is a walker. So when she traveled to Damascus, Syria in the 2000's, she ditched the car and sauntered the streets to really take in the beauty of the old city. She soon came across a neighborhood that sparked her forthcoming book, Palestinian Refugees in the Old City of Damascus. Also: The report card is out for America's stormwater infrastructure. Spoiler alert: it's a grade that probably would've gotten us all grounded by our parents. Tanjina Afrin explains where America is failing and why effective stormwater management is such an important but largely forgotten public amenity. Later in the show: As the Cold War drew to a close in the 1990s, the Hispanic Caribbean was rocked by what Elena Valdez calls “crisis moments.” She says these “crisis moments” sparked important changes in representations of sexuality and gender in the public sphere - especially in the urban spaces of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.

Jackie's life and work are rooted in the profound belief that every individual deserves a "brave space" to show up authentically, fully, and without judgment. As the Executive Director of a Hospice Home and the founder of Lega-C Healing by Jackie, she dedicates her days to guiding others through life's most delicate transitions with grace, intuition, and deep compassion. Her professional path is inextricably linked to her extraordinary personal journey. A survivor of orphan trafficking from the Dominican Republic under the guise of international adoption, Jackie was brought to the United States as a child, after the death of her mother, separated from her twin and everything she knew. She spent years navigating the complexities of identity and belonging, a quest that eventually led to a series of powerful reunions: first with her U.S.-based siblings at age nineteen, and later with her twin, her biological father, and her remaining siblings at thirty-two. These experiences of loss and reclamation shaped her into a gifted Community Builder, Death Doula, and intuitive healer. Jackie understands the weight of being "un-homed" and has turned that history into a sanctuary for others, helping them find peace and presence even in the face of the unknown. Beyond her clinical and spiritual leadership, Jackie is a mother of three, a wife, and a dedicated artist. She finds her own healing and inspiration in nature, whether she is exploring the outdoors or translating the beauty of the world into her creative work. Her life is a living testament to the power of resilience and the enduring legacy of healing.

In episode 221, host Galit Friedlander and guest Kim Holmes (widely respected director, choreographer, dance educator) explore the roots of house and hip-hop culture through lived experience, mentorship, and time spent inside New York City's party and club scenes before these styles became widely visible. Kim shares her journey into dance, discovering house at a young age, and learning directly with pioneers like Marjory Smarth during a formative era that shaped how she moves, teaches, and thinks about longevity. Together, Galit and Kim reflect on what it meant to come up in spaces where culture was built in real time—long before social media or conventions—and how being “the it kids” back then came with both opportunity and responsibility. The conversation also moves into technique, recovery, listening to the body, trusting timing, and how mindset and intuition quietly guide long careers in dance. Originally recorded in 2019, this episode feels especially relevant today as dancers revisit foundations, lineage, and what it truly means to sustain a life in dance beyond trends.
