Episode SummaryBoarding school. Enrichment and personal growth experiences. A supportive community. Natalie Tung is creating all of this … for black and brown high school girls in Trenton. The idea took shape while Natalie was at Princeton and reflected on her own difficult experience growing up in Hong Kong. Now, just a few years later, she's hit the tipping point. Meet the budding “Sal Kahn” for minority high-school girls.Sydney Finkelstein Syd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Master's degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Professor Finkelstein has published 25 books and 90 articles, including the bestsellers Why Smart Executives Fail and Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent, which LinkedIn Chairman Reid Hoffman calls the “leadership guide for the Networked Age.” He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Management, a consultant and speaker to leading companies around the world, and a top 25 on the Global Thinkers 50 list of top management gurus. Professor Finkelstein's research and consulting work often relies on in-depth and personal interviews with hundreds of people, an experience that led him to create and host his own podcast, The Sydcast, to uncover and share the stories of all sorts of fascinating people in business, sports, entertainment, politics, academia, and everyday life.Natalie TungNatalie is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of HomeWorks Trenton, a free community-based after-school boarding program. Growing up in a numbers-driven public school system in Hong Kong, Natalie had an unhealthy relationship with learning. This relationship changed when she had the opportunity to attend a boarding school in New Jersey. More importantly, living with 40 girls at such a young age empowered her to become more empathetic and confident, and these women are still her support system today. While earning her teaching certificate as a sophomore at Princeton University, Natalie started HomeWorks with the idea of replicating this experience for girls in marginalized communities around the world. Since 2016, she has run five programs with 50 participants, raised over $1.9 million in cash and in-kind donations, and built a diverse team of 6 full-time and five part-time staff, board members, interns, and volunteers. Natalie and HomeWorks have been recognized by McKinsey & Company, Camelback Ventures, Barclays, Comcast, Hollister, TRESemmé, Echoing Green, Vital Voices, Penn Graduate School of Education, Princeton University, and more.Insights from this episode: Details about HomeWorks Trenton programThe problem HomeWorks Trenton is seeking to solveHow Natalie's school experience shaped herNatalie's conviction to help women of colorHow HomeWorks Trenton program is aligned to Natalie's missionPartners she has worked with to equip her scholars and make them ready for collegeNatalie's challenges running the programNatalie's aspiration for HomeWorksQuotes from the show:“What we are doing here is not only replicating a boarding school and bringing it to public schools and with all the benefits of the wrap-around learning and all that, but also doing so in a way that reverses the narrative that our kids need to leave their communities to be successful.”–Natalie Tung [6:29]“At the core of what we are doing, we are creating a community specifically for our black and brown girls here in Trenton to reclaim power over their cultures, identities, and experiences.“ –Natalie Tung [6:41]“I truly believe in the power of women. I believe that when women come together and when we really are at the forefront of things, magic happens” –Natalie Tung [17:39]“I was in a community of women who were my age, and just being able to live with so many different kinds of girls and to be vulnerable with each other at the age of 13/14, it was such a unique experience. It did make me more confident” –Natalie Tung [18:40]“Our values are intentionality, empathy, and community. Something that we are trying to do is making sure that we are being intentional about every single thing we do at HomeWorks, every decision, every policy we have” –Natalie Tung [22:48]“We want to build a culture where our kids feel safe, where they are here to grow. We all make mistakes but we are here to learn and just feel like we have each other's backs” –Natalie Tung [23:03]“I very much believe in the power of women and I very much believe in the power of community, and I know a lot of other who people believe in it too” –Natalie Tung [33:24]“I think the beauty about HomeWorks and about our team is that we have a really diverse group of people within our staff” –Natalie Tung [43:28]Stay connected:Sydney FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastNatalie TungLinkedIn: Natalie Tung Instagram: Natalie Tung HomeWorks Trenton Website: https://www.homeworkstrenton.org/HomeWorks Trenton Brochure: https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/62642925/homeworks-trenton-pamphletHomeWorks Trenton Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOjhQRJT7VgSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.

Students around the world are struggling to return to school in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, but these challenges are especially acute for vulnerable adolescent girls and young women in low income countries, where Covid-19 has magnified the barriers they already faced in getting an education, including HIV, economic hardship, gender-based violence, early marriage, and unintended pregnancy.  In this episode, we're looking at why education for girls, especially secondary education, is so critical for girls' health and development, and how Covid-19 threatens their ability to go back to school. Janet Fleischman speaks with Dr. Kakenya Ntaiya, a Kenyan educator and founder of Kakenya's Dream, which educates and empowers girls and works to end harmful traditional practices, like female genital cutting/mutilation and child marriage. Kakenya describes the impact of Covid-19 on the school for girls that she founded in Kenya, and how the school responded. Janet then takes us to western Kenya, where she speaks to Linda Achieng Orodo, a 19-year-old secondary school student, who participates in the PEPFAR-led DREAMS program. Like many girls in her community, Linda faced many challenges in returning to school after the Covid lockdown, and she gives us a glimpse of why secondary school is so critical for girls in Kenya.

When the Taliban took over Malala Yousafzai’s town in Pakistan, they banned education for girls. Malala defied them, went to school and spoke out. For that, she was shot by the Taliban. But Malala survived, continued to champion girls’ education, and, at age 17, went on to become the youngest-ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Anita ByegonWhat is it like for girls growing up with a sense of shame about the normal biological functioning of their body?  And how do they cope without the availability of the feminine sanitary supplies we take for granted in the United States?Anita started her own enterprise to sew reusable sanitary supplies for the women in Bomet County.  Any donations sent here will support her efforts in providing employment to local residents, boosting the local economy and providing reusable sanitary supplies, which last for three years, to women in the Kisii area.Anita Byegon shares stories of growing up in Kenya.  She was fortunate to have parents who didn't marry her off in the 8th grade as happened to some of her friends.  She was able to get a university education and a good job.  She explained that many girls in Kenya drop out of school because they don't have the sanitary supplies they need when they have their period.  Many families have to choose between food and maxi-pads.  Naturally they choose food.  There is little knowledge and tremendous shame around the menstrual cycle.  Girls have to stay home and are too embarrassed to say why they can't go to school. In many cases, girls don't know what is happening to their bodies when they have their first period.  Anita talks about what that is like and relates the sad story of a girl who committed suicide the day she began menstruating.  Anita also relates the story of the father of 3 teenage girls who, because of the cultural shame around menstruation, had to be educated on the need for sanitary supplies.  After his conversation with Anita, he said that in all the years of viewing the family list of items for him to buy at the store, he had never seen sanitary supplies.  He honestly had no idea and wondered what his wife and daughters had done for all those years. After some years of a successful career in the city, Anita felt the desire to return to her hometown and give back.  She tells about her work with 100 Humanitarians International and Days for Girls.

COVID-19 shows that girls’ STEM education and ensuring girls in tech are supported and motivated has never been more important.

Michelle chats with Tim Griffin, Lt. Gov. of Arkansas; Jeff Weld, Iowa State Director of STEM, STEM Education Policy Consultant for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and author of the just released Federal STEM Strategic Plan; and Sheila Boyington, CEO of Learning Blade and national states chair for Million Women Mentors, about STEM education for girls. Only 24 percent of STEM jobs are currently held by women, Michelle notes. Boyington talks about being a token woman engineer and how to make girls and women more aware of STEM career opportunities and the importance of mentoring, including virtual mentoring in rural areas. Weld notes that, in Iowa, there are a variety of programs, including Scale Up, promoting diversity that are data-driven and whose impact is continually being assessed. These programs include teacher externships and initiatives that connect STEM students with professionals in hospitals and other businesses in rural and other communities. Lt. Gov. Griffin points out that coding is taught in every high school in Arkansas, producing a cultural and educational change in the lower grades as well. We’re underperforming in involving girls in STEM, according to Lt. Gov. Griffin, and there’s where the opportunities to meet national shortages in this area lie. Schools should take students on field trips to local businesses, concludes Boyington..and we need to use multiple resources to promote STEM education in general, and to girls specifically.

When access to education and work opportunity are abundant, it can be easy to take them for granted. Yet, much of the world is still working to improve access to education and economic development. In Peru, a country of 31 million people, males outnumber females in education rates and illiteracy in the rural areas can be as high as 34 percent. Domestic abuse has registered as high as 49 percent among females in certain rural areas where access to education and work opportunities are limited. Thousands of Peruvian girls stay in dysfunctional and violent homes because they have no means to support themselves. In this episode, we feature a Peruvian native turned American citizen who's on a mission to eliminate what has been seen by many as an unfortunate inevitability and leaving behind the submissive woman while setting free the true Peruvian girl.

I live with my husband and work in Mombasa. I was born and grew up in Bomet, my parents provided me with education that I needed to excel and I went through the primary and joined secondary level successful, After finishing my secondary level I joined college to get skills and now working and pursuing my bachelor in degree of commerce. I was lucky that I did not have to follow the tradition of FGM and early marriage. I come from a community that girl child education is not still not common.Poverty and backward cultural practices have continued to harden the quest for the girl child to access education. Deep in our African culture, girls are taken to be a source of wealth for the family because once they got a suitor; they are “sold off” for marriage, thereby giving the family some wealth through bride price. Once married off, the girl is meant to be a homemaker and her duty is to tend to household chores and to bring up a family.Some parents justify the denial of girls of their right to education to prevent them from bringing shame to the family through early pregnancy. Yet others believe that women who are at the same level of education as the men are a disgrace to the community because more often than not, they will not get married and if they do, it will possibly be to a foreigner. For such parents, early marriage is the best way to prevent this and at the same time preserve traditions.I am creating a scholarship program to assist the girls who need an education but who's families cannot afford to pay the fees. If you want to assist in scholarships for young girls please go to 100 Humanitarians To donate.I have a passion for my community and am working hard to assist in setting up reading classes for those who are pass the age of being able to attend school and want to learn.

GIRLS THINKING GLOBAL: EMPOWERING ADOLESCENT GIRLS  Kathy Hurley and Deb DeVries aren't girls anymore like I'm not a boy anymore... I just act like one...they don't! In fact , they are two of most respected and best people in education and  they're so concerned about girl's futures worldwide that they co-founded a new organization"Girls Thinking Global", working  to empower adolescent girls globally. Great ladies doing a great thing.  

Girls education matter! This Friday, Phionah Musumba discusses the barriers to girls' education in rural Kenya and what her organization, the Malkia Empowerment Network through The Center for Disadvantaged Girls (CDG) is doing to empower girls. "The Centre of Disadvantaged Girls has a vision to create a haven where girls, women and youth in the society, especially the community around us can identify with their very own, and together prepare themselves to face the world responsibly not only financially, but also educationally, health wise and socially." Phionah says: "I have a burning passion for the needy and less privileged in society, not because I have much, since I got nothing, but because I have been through a lot of suffering all my life, as a young girl and even as a mother." She envisions a future where "women don't have to walk tens of kilometres to fetch a few litres of water, a future where women will be given equal rights to education and leadership posts as men, where our kids don't die for lack of food and medical attention."
