An episode that tries to make it make sense.In Episode 124 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, “Justice for Victor,” we confront the tragic police killing of 17-year-old autistic Puerto Rican teen Victor Perez and the systemic failures that led to his death. Centering voices from the Black neurodivergent community, this powerful conversation demands a reimagining of autistic justice beyond white-centered narratives. This episode is a call to action for the autism and neurodiversity movements to prioritize true equity, accountability, and liberation for all.Here's what we cover in today's episode: * In this powerful and somber episode, Angela is joined by Black autistic advocates Faith Clarke and Darren Calhoun to discuss the heart breaking murder of Victor Perez, a non-speaking autistic Puerto Rican teenager.* On April 5th, Victor Perez—a 17-year-old autistic, disabled Puerto Rican teen—was shot by police in his own front yard. He is no longer with us. And now, his family is left to grieve in a system that failed him at every level.* Darren Calhoun is a justice advocate, worship leader, and photographer based in Chicago. He's the co-host of the Second Sunday podcast, and his work bridges communities across race, gender, and neurodivergence. Darren is a powerful voice for intersectionality and faith-based inclusion, and he's someone who speaks truth with clarity and compassion.* Faith Clarke wrote her best selling book Parenting Like a Ninja with Angela and it was based in part on her experience as a business owner and mom of a non-speaking autistic son (and a couple of other neurodivergent humans too).* We are especially grateful to Tiffany Hammond who you might remember from our Monster's High episode a couple of weeks ago — whose writing on her fidgets and fries Instagram in response to Victor's death called me into deeper reflection. Her words were a turning point for us.* Victor's Go Fund Me: https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-victor-perez“quotes”Victor is not the first. He joins a growing list of young, Black and Brown neurodivergent lives—Stephon Watts. Elijah McClain. Ryan Gainer.Their stories demand justice.This episode is about what happened. What should have happened. And what needs to happen next—if we truly want a movement that's rooted in liberation for all of us.

In this episode, we talk to brilliant return guest and organizational health and teamwork specialist Faith Clarke about celebrating difference, shifting the narrative of cultural norms, and creating a restorative work culture.All of the data says that environment trumps individual effort every day of the week (when it comes to results). So how can we remove things that harm and habituate things that actually feed people's souls? "A restorative work culture is a culture people don't have to recover from." We have to give space to the full human at work so we can have the capacity of the full human at work. What we've been doing is stripping humans down to machines – and that model is no longer working for most people, teams, or companies.Listen in for a conversation that is full, rich, necessary, and will keep you thinking about when, where, and how to change things to our benefit.—Organizational health and teamwork specialist, Faith Clarke is committed to helping business leaders cultivate a values infused, inclusive culture where people feel like they belong so that they can deliver on their business and social impact promises.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For and this Toe Tag.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is normally a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you at the heart of mystery. Today is a bonus episode we call a Toe Tag. It is the first chapter from a fresh release in the mystery, crime, and thriller genre.Today's featured release is Rise to Rebellion by Julie Bates TG Wolff ReviewRise to Rebellion is a historical mystery. July 1776. Jeremy Butler is called to investigate threats to the Congress delegation. The attacks seem to come from nowhere and everywhere at once and no one within the households are safe. Jeremy finds an unlikely ally in Hannah White, a Quaker, a widow, and a businesswoman. Together, they unknowingly corner the villain, only to have to fight their way out. Bottom line: Rise to Rebellion is for you if you like mysteries equally braided with historical and women's fictionStrengths of the story. The premise of the story is one of the shining stars. Set in July 1776, the war for Independence is palpable to all. Everyone has a side and being on the side of the patriots isn't the easy decision history leads us to believe. Bates shows us the working class side of Philadelphia through the household of Hannah Payne White and the farm where Faith Payne Clarke has returned to. The storytelling of the life of unmarried women, freed persons, and enslaved persons humanizes the history, showing us strong, capable people doing what they can to not just survive, but live and thrive.Bates certainly did her research in the history and culture of the era. It, too, is a shining star. A note from the author talked about her commitment to historical accuracy and the one liberty she took with the story to make it doable for Jeremy. She apologizes to history buffs who may be confused by the change. As someone who calls out unreasonable timeframes, I appreciate she noted it and took steps to make the story plausible.Jeremy Butler's story is the mystery. As described, he has gone to Philadelphia to investigate incidents affected members of the Continental Congress. John Hancock and Benjamin Franklin believe someone is working to subvert their cause.Faith Clark's story is women's fiction. Faith returns home to visit her dying mother, reuniting with the father and siblings she left behind when she married and moved to Virginia. There is some intrigue—the discovery of a murdered neighbor and of an unknown oldest sister—but the story arc is focused on Faith coming to terms with her upbringing and her mother.Hannah Clark's story is a mix of drama, romance, and mystery. She picks up with question of an unknown sister and follows down leads as she is juggling running her business selling china settings and taking care of her guest, Jeremy Butler, who returns far too often bleeding form some place or another.All three characters are engaging and likeable. I am sure readers will vary on which character and storyline is their favorite.This is the third book in the Faith Clarke Mystery series. I have not read the first two. This story stands alone, being set a year after the second, and is a different location.Where the story fell short of ideal: There are a few places where RISE TO REBELLION falls short of an ideal historical mystery. While this is part of the Faith Clarke mystery series, Faith's storyline is women's fiction and is only present for about half the book. At that point, her sister Hannah picks up the storytelling, taking it in a different direction. The mystery would be more accurately characterized as a Jeremy Butler mystery. The story alternates chapters between Jeremy and Faith/ Hannah. Mystery lovers may be left wanting more. Readers who like multi-faceted stories will enjoy the mystery, historical, and women's fiction weave of the story....

Your best friend from the neighborhood sends you a text mid-day, asking if you'd like to join them for a walk. The sun is shining, your legs are stiff from sitting at the computer all morning, but…“Too much work to do”. Sad face emoji. Seated at your desk, you push through your body's desire to go. That tug of war feels frustrating. You want to, but work. You want to, but the kids. You want to, but you've already committed to something else you don't really want to do. It feels like, a little too often, you're pushing away invitations to joy and peace in your life. You decide to sit with this for a moment. And you wonder…what doorways might open up if you said “yes” to more of the things you really wanted to be doing?What price are you paying for not moving forward?Our work culture, our unpaid labor culture, and the roles we perform as mothers, spouses, friends, neighbors, and volunteers are all rooted in patterns of exploitation and exhaustion. But what if you could find a way to take back a little more control? What if you could stop automatically defaulting to “no”, even in the face of a busy day? What if you could take just one step away from the paradigm that convinced you that the only “choice” you had was to say “no” to joy more often than you say “yes”? This week, Karlee shares space with Faith Clarke, an Organizational Health & Inclusion Specialist. Through her work, she provides important cultural and historical context to how we navigate the “rules” of society, shedding a necessary light to explain how this conditioning affects us. In this episode, we unpack the reasons why you might be working so hard and resting so little. You'll start looking at your time and commitments in a different way, finding more opportunity pockets for rest. You'll also hear how Faith constructs an “imaginary world” where rules can be broken, using space as an exercise to creatively find more respite.If you're ready to, in the words of Faith, “Grab the thing that's in front of you and say Okay, I can be in control of this! …then this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode:How the constructs built around our bodies affect our ability to rest (2:37)Playing with the rules in order to figure out how to break them, safely (8:21)What it might look like to find “pockets” of respite in your life (13:24)How to invite others into your privilege (14:19)Reversing the narrative of the zero-sum game (18:17)People Mentioned in this Episode:Dr. Jovana WashingtonProgramsConnect with Faith Clarke:WebsiteInstagramConnect With Karlee: Website Hosted on Acast.

Faith Clarke is a mother, Organizational Health and Team Effectiveness Specialist, Co-founder, and CEO of an educational organization that supports families with children living with autism, an author, and podcast host for Peak Performance Team talks about her passion for helping organizations committed to healthy workplace culture, create a space and place for everyone to bring their best selves to work.  And how she specializes in helping organizations create a work environment where people feel good together, even when differences are exposed.  We talk about the value hierarchy, decolonizing the workplace, how we handle human emotions at work and if we can really bring our true selves to work.   Faith addresses her work from the lens of a mother of a child living with Autism. Her experience of creating new spaces for her son, which often meant being separated from others, led her to challenge the way we integrate differences in the workplace and identify what needs to be dismantled to create structures that value all employees.  Faith discusses the benefits of organizations hiring people based on their alignment with the organization's mission and values first and then the skill set required to do the work. Faith also shares how her son helped her increase her awareness about what it means to show up in the world differently, how to communicate without the use of words, and the importance of being compassionate to all. She openly shared the importance of spirituality in her life, her commitment to self-care, and her emotional health. 

What if work was nourishing and energizing - a place where humans were not resources and people genuinely loved being there? That's the shift we're making. And, if you cannot get on board with that, then your company/your business becomes obsolete because the change IS happening. In this episode, I talk to Organizational Health and Teamwork Specialist, Faith Clarke about building spaces where people feel like they can thrive. We get into: - This idea of the "traditional workplace". For who? And, for what? What are we keeping alive that maybe doesn't serve anybody anymore? - Managing ourselves to create safety and trust. The ability to have a conversation and manage my own responses (to my not knowing/lack of understanding of what someone else needs and is going through). - Restorative work vs scaling. What's the difference and why does it matter? - Human-centered work. What do we believe about people and how certain people can be treated? "Every cycle of disruption creates something new. And, I think, we are living in a cycle of disruption right now - where people are acknowledging that they can be different from the people around them, things can be different... And, they are going to pursue spaces where they're honored. All of us, together, can create more of what's needed." - Faith Clarke ----- To find out more about Faith, visit faithclarke.com.

Today Faith and I discussed how she is Redefining Motherhood by truly being present with her own wisdom and accepting self-compassion. Join us for our beautiful conversation where we speak to ‘letting go' of the exponential external wisdom and focus on tapping into our own inner wisdom and intuition on the journey of parenting. Faith started her career as a computer programmer on Wall Street, but quickly identified her passion for teaching. Her fascination with human motivation and her personal experiences as a mom of a child with autism led to her doctoral studies in performance psychology. She has also taken her talents a step further, writing a best-selling book and becoming the Co-founder/CEO of an educational organization helping families with autistic children.

Organizational Health and Inclusion Specialist Faith Clarke knows all about how to put together a strong team. Faith looks for a collection of personality traits in her teams: archetypes that embody the characteristics of what she's looking for. Supporting people today has more to do with fostering independence than it does with caregiving, and Faith calls this a “liberation movement role.” This was Faith's second time on the podcast and Genia was happy to have her back to talk about all the above and more, including how she prepares job ads to attract the right sort of candidates; how to integrate home support workers into the private spaces of family life; and how to help teams pivot in the direction they want to go if their staff members are lacking some important skills.

So often we hide our differences so we can fit in and belong. For some, doing this at work is extremely difficult or not even an option. This week, Jo and J.J. welcome Faith Clarke, Organizational Health and Inclusion Specialist who works with value-driven and diverse teams so they can deliver on business and social impact promises at the highest level. Faith is extremely passionate about inclusion for BIPOC and neuro-distinct individuals and advocating for those who “don't belong”. She discusses the importance of mental health and how her children taught her to focus more on wisdom than having control. She talks about how organizations can change one small thing at a time and the importance of listening to the underserved and those having difficulties directly rather than assuming what they need.   Takeaway: [3:46] Faith talks about the importance of mental health in parenting children with complex needs. She is a mom to autistic children, and it became very clear to her early on that maintaining her own self-care was the only way to nourish herself and her children in the process; staying in fixing mode 24/7 was never going to be sustainable.   [5:29] Faith explains why she refers to her children as neuro distinct rather than neuro-typical. We are all diverse, and it fits better because her children deal with a wide range of distinct experiences including OCD, depression, and characteristics of autism.   [8:42] The more we operate in the illusion that we are in control of everything and everyone, the more suffering we will feel. Faith talks with Jo and J.J. about mining from wisdom rather than the past. As a Caribbean woman, she quite literally has faith that she is able to handle challenging times and has a deep resilience for what life throws at her. [10:50] Half of the struggle in autism is being in a world not quite meant for you. A large part of Faith's mission is helping people create an environment that helps those who are neuro-distinct feel as though they can fully contribute in a way that fits for them. [12:29] The stuffing down of emotions like anger and sadness is often what leads to the messes that need cleaning up and the bigger reactions like anxiety or panic attacks. [17:24] Why do we have to fight for advocacy in the United States? Jo questions why it isn't just the case that if someone gets diagnosed, they get the support and information they need without so much red tape and the need to jump over hoop after hoop. Jo's jaw hits the floor thinking about the challenges built into the United States medical systems (particularly as she comes from a country with a free national health system). Faith explains that the person saying yes is often not the one being affected, and the system is built on a very old and patriarchal one with a lot of conscious and unconscious biases and blind spots. [28:09] Smart people can self-medicate their anxiety with certainty and control, and when dealing with the neuro-distinct, that can be a recipe for disaster. Instead, we are better off starting from the ground floor to make the workplace more inclusive with recommendations by the people themselves that are affected most day to day. [28:56] We come up with the right solutions when we ask the right questions to the right people. Faith says we should start with including the people actually at the table and hear what barriers they face in contributing. [30:12] It may seem too good to be true, but work can actually be restorative and nourishing. It doesn't have to be soul-draining, and when we build a workflow in a way that works with people instead of against them, we are more effective and productive. [36:42] There are some key things companies should look for to see if there really are barriers in contribution: are people disengaged, is there too much or not enough conflict?  (the point on not enough conflict is an interesting one, as this can often be symptomatic of a team environment that does not allow its members to speak up).  Does new talent start strong and then seem to dwindle their light down? Is your leadership flexible or rigid? When people make it to the top, are they able to be more of themselves and lead in their own way, or are they exhausted in a cemented system? More people than ever are opting to leave their jobs instead of settling for what they don't want, which is arguably  why we maintain the same patterns for years and years.  [42:00] We know that diversity creates better opportunity, but we are creating a defense of apathy and productivity in people that would normally be enthusiastic. [43:08] The pandemic has shown us that we can pivot quickly when it's important. Faith talks about her vision for the future, where we connect research and speed it up to commit to doing even one small thing at a time right now. [45:50] If everyone having a voice and ability to contribute is not enough to entice leadership, the money aspect surely will. Money motivates, and if we look at lost income and productivity due to not letting everyone have a seat at the table, we can see just how much is at stake. Connect With Us: Joanna Denton | Dr. J.J.

Faith Clarke, our guest in today’s episode of Live Your Dreams Awake is an organizational health and inclusion strategist.  Her personal experience as a mom of an autistic child helped her see through the lens of those needing help with adaptability issues, sense of belongingness, and in her work with small businesses losing grip of its employees, in order for them to be synergistically aligned. People with disorders are interestingly unique but they can be trained to conform. You need to be inclusive of what people are going through, but in order to do that, you must first focus on yourself. That’s self-care.  Enjoy listening! REMEMBER - “There's nothing that you would do for your good that won't be good for your kids.” This week's tip is to limit or avoid the amount of red in your kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it's linked to the wealth and prosperity of your home and life. Therefore, having excess fiery energy can have a fiery impact on your wealth and health. Start to eliminate or avoid fire in your kitchen so that you can have ease of finance and health. WHAT WE COVER DURING THIS EPISODE: Faith Clarke’s background and how does she describe her kind of work? What kind of companies does Faith like to work with? How did Faith end up doing this kind of work for organizations to boost their productivity by cultivating inclusive, high-performing teams?  To start in the work of self inclusion, we should think of self-care.

In this episode, I talk to Faith Clarke, an Organizational Health and Inclusion Specialist.Our conversation was rich and we covered A LOT of ground, including but not limited to:- How leading through a crisis can teach you to be hyper-present- How to get to know and take care of yourself better, as a leader- How to hold collective space and honor rhythms, energy, and needs (yours and those of others, in life and at work)- How inclusion starts with usTrue diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has to be flexible. And, it has to include us first. Faith suggests that we start doing the work by asking ourselves: who's not allowed to show up IN ME in this space? From there, we can start to work outward--building that muscle at micro-levels (in our families and on our direct teams). Faith suggests paying attention to "who is at the party but not dancing." For all the good stuff, you'll have to LISTEN IN. I enjoyed this conversation immensely and know that you will too!-----To learn more about Faith Clarke and how she helps women leaders in social impact organizations cultivate peak performance, create inclusive culture, and lead thriving teams visit https://www.faithclarke.com/.

February is boundary month, so for the past few episodes, we’ve been exploring every facet of breaking, bridging, building, and most importantly, including ourselves in our boundary practice.A big part of that work hangs in the vicinity of fear. We’re afraid of how we’ll be perceived if we ask for what we need. We think it’s easier to just say “ok”. But saying “ok” only ends up being more work for you. How do we bridge the boundaries we need without letting fear get in the way?It starts with really understanding the nature of boundaries. When we’re afraid to set a boundary, it’s often because we question our authority to create it. We may be blocked by an absence of privilege or a lack of inclusivity. Today, Karlee welcomes Faith Clarke for an eye-opening conversation about boundaries, inclusion, support, and conflict. Faith is the best-selling author of Parenting Like a Ninja: An Autism Mom's Guide to Professional Productivity. From her experience as a computer programer on Wall Street, to raising a child with Autism, she’s discovered a fascination with human motivation and performance psychology. Faith is the co-founder and CEO of Melody of Autism, an educational organization that helps other families with autistic children.Her experience raising a child with needs that differ from the normative construct shed a light on how this construct really isn’t working for most people. Human beings thrive in environments that allow for connection, so we need to offer a more robust network of support. Building a better world means normalizing asking for what we want without fear.It’s time to stop wasting energy on coping, and recognize that when we create a safe place for humans to be exactly who they are, we all thrive.If you’re ready to embrace inclusivity, starting with yourself, then this episode is for you!

In this final talk on the stories of Daniel, Clarke examines how this seemingly simple story about Daniel and the den of lions points us to think critically about the place of the Christian in a society that diminishes or denies freedoms of religion and conscience. Daniel 6 calls us to seek the flourishing of society, without being ensnared by its idolatry, by looking to God in all that one does and by entrusting one's life to the one who can raise to eternal life.

My career in computer engineering and systems analysis helped me develop a systematic approach to problem solving that I applies to my current passion — helping people figure out the next steps on the path to their desired destination, and strategizing a plan to getting there. My interests in human motivation and personal experiences as a mom of a child with autism led me to doctoral studies in performance psychology and a coaching practice that focuses on the needs of autism moms navigating leadership, business, and entrepreneurship.Through striving for more my formal education includes graduate and undergraduate degrees in computer science, graduate studies in adult education and psychology, and doctoral studies in performance psychology.

Parents of kids with disabilities have three main needs: Need for autonomy: being able to direct our lives. Need for relationships with people we love. Need for competence: being able to express ourselves in ways we are good at and receiving some recognition from our work. Entrepreneurship can be an act of radical self-care; an opportunity to craft what is in your heart into an income generating opportunity. What can we realistically do? How does this become self-care? We need to learn to listen to ourselves. Related: When the Primary Caretaker of a Child With a Disability Gets Sick Figure out your what. Get crystal clear on the what, then you can figure out the how. Learning your strengths are the ingredients for the how. Believe you are worth discovering yourself. We cannot balance all the things. You cannot give equal time or energy to all the things you do. We need to explore all the hard feelings (like anger, disappointment, sadness) and deal with them before we can truly experience joy and happiness and all the positive things. “Your work should serve your heart.” — Faith Clarke

MEET THE GUEST: Faith is a coach, consultant, author, academic nerd, design thinker and her newest venture is midwifery. She helps passionate entrepreneurs with special needs kids birth businesses they love, that fit and finance their busy lives. “Parenting Like a Ninja”, an autism mom’s guide to professional productivity is an Amazon bestseller and reflects her own journey with the crazy chaos of special needs parenting, and the need to harness energy and be productive. She believes entrepreneurship is a perfect, mental and psychological health choice for many special needs parents, and offers the opportunity to do business differently while creating more of what our communities need. She’s excited about the growing Autastic Biz Tribe: business owners who are disrupting the status quo of ‘business as usual’, integrating business and life in alignment with the needs and rhythm of our family. Faith is a mom of three kids, of which her oldest, Jayden who is autistic. On this episode, she talks all about the joys and challenges of raising young kids before the developmental delays in Jayden was all that evident. Early on in Jayden’s life, she felt a sense of calling to be an answer to other family’s desire for strategic and holistic support. As she developed the curriculum for Jayden’s homeschool experience, she realized how qualified she was to help other families train their homeschool teachers to build rapport and make sensory connections with the student before trying to deliver any content. Faith also shares how building her own business allowed her to stop trying to “fix” the autism. Her business instead offered a sense of fulfillment and an ability to accept Jayden, regardless of his progress or regressions. As selfish as it sounds, she encourages moms to pursue radical self-care because the very best gift a mom can offer her kiddos is a happy and healed mama. In her new book, “Parenting Like a Ninja”, she documents how she went from a fragmented to a healed mama and now has the capacity to strategically direct her energy, rather than let it escape without her consent. In this episode, we cover: What life looked like raising 3 tiny kiddos, one with an autism diagnosis in the early years as well as how things shifted for their family later. How Faith used her strengths and experience to equip families with an informed method of delivering homeschool curriculum to autistic students. How practicing radical self-care empowers you to consistently give your kids the best version of yourself. “The solution for me in terms of being able to care for myself is part of the solution for him. I need to model this radical self-care for my son so that he can see that he can do for himself to help himself heal."

Faith Clarke’s son, Jaedon, was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 2. Since then, she’s been on a roller coaster of parenthood. But Faith isn’t the kind of person who just lets things happen. She armed herself with knowledge, awareness and resources — enough to go around to other parents who were unexpectedly living out the journey of Autism with their children. After Jaedon was diagnosed, Faith eventually created the organization, Melody of Autism to provided resources, community and support for other families. She wrote the book “Parenting Like a Ninja” and has become a fierce advocate for children and parents in the Autism community. In our interview, Faith speaks about how faith impacted her experience with a child with special needs and poignantly, how God showed her how her son was answering the prayers of many people. She felt God was giving her a responsibility and an opportunity to offer hope and help to others — and she took it. What I loved most about our conversation was when Faith told me why she called her organization “Melody of Autism.” She said this: “Find the music, don’t be in conflict with it — but be in alignment with it. So many therapies were trying to stop Autism and trying to control it and I shifted to try and understand my son and be in sync with him. When you an come in sync with yourself…can we step into peace and harmony and flow WITH, not against, the life we have?” Amen and amen! I think this applies to our lives in a multitude of ways and is wisdom for the ages. Faith is also a podcaster, a writer and has a new venture for entrepreneurial moms in the Autism space.
