In this emotionally fertile Sacred Conversation with Nova Reid, producer, writer, speaker, and author of the book, The Good Ally, we commune over the vital importance for Black Women (and marginalized souls) of gathering together in safe affirmation, celebration, purpose finding, soul gardening, and healing. This conversation fed me richly in ancestor dreams. You may learn more about Nova's journey and brilliant work at novareid.com..Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have an old fashioned phone conversation. No video. No scripted, transactional, extractive, one-sided interview dynamic. Just two people with a care and curiosity for each other's journey, asking each other soulful questions, and enjoying the ancient, mutually healing art of listening deeply. Again, not an interview. A spiritual communion. The idea is for us to relax and enjoy an organic conversation, like over tea or breaking bread, and get to know each other along the way. .

Many of us know something about the post-colonization history of Australia and most have some understanding of the transgenerational impact that history has had on our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. Nonetheless, it is often difficult to know what we need to do and how we need to be as clinicians to respect indigenous culture and behave as allies to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and clients. Many of us have done "cultural awareness" training and even adjusted our workplaces to make indigenous people feel comfortable but what other changes do we need to make to be good allies?In this webinar, Dr. Jan Orman, Mim Weber (WellMob) and Angela Sheridan (WellMob) will discuss how clinicians can be good allies to their First Nations patients. Check out the slides here.

TODAY'S GUEST Today we're talking about transgender issues. Specifically, what should the rest of us know about transgender people? This is a topic that I admit I know very little about, but one that feels important at the very least, if one wants to avoid causing unnecessary pain. Language itself seems to be changing when it comes to gender, and while some resistance is natural and no generally agreed upon set of rules has been widely accepted, it's important to understand why these changes are happening and what's behind them. I can't imagine someone more perfect to talk to about this subject than Dr. Eli Green. Eli is the founder and CEO of the Transgender Training Institute. They are an award winning educator and author with over 20 years facilitating transgender related education and supporting other gender educators. Dr. Green has helped thousands of people have a better understanding of what it means to be transgender and nonbinary and how to support and affirm the transgender and nonbinary people in their lives, workplaces, and communities. Eli brings kindness, patience, and authentic connection to the topic, making the gender conversation one that seems inviting, a place you'd like to be rather than a place to avoid. We spoke in mid January 2022, and it was really the first time I felt like I had a grasp of what we're talking about. When we talk about gender and transgender rights and challenges. EPISODE SUMMARY In this conversation we talk about: Eli's childhood and early realization on how people are treated differently based on gender. How Eli recognized they were nonbinary at a young age, but not having the language for it. Eli's process of coming out as nonbinary is transgender transition, facing discrimination as a nonbinary person, including transphobia and barriers to accessing resources. The differences between gender and sex and how they are not the same. The importance of kindness and affirmation for the LGBTQ plus community. How Cisgendered people can support and advocate for trans rights. Eli's work with the Transgender Training Institute, which provides education and training on trans issues to businesses, organizations, and government agencies changing hearts and minds, and the need for systemic change to support nonbinary people. How does religion enter into the picture? What do most people still need to understand about transgender and non-binary individuals? What is the significance of the dynamism of language in this area? Understanding Gender Prejudice What stayed with me most of all is the ever present need for kindness, the need to make an effort to see things from a different person's perspective. This applies equally to cisgendered folks learning about gender dysphoria, as it does to activists understanding that ignorance does not equal malice. In both cases, the smallest gesture of kindness can open the door to a whole new way of relating and moving forward, in which specific details can be discussed from a place of trust. We already have lined up for you with thinkers, designers, makers, authors, entrepreneurs, and activists who are working to change our world for the better. We have some amazing episodes lined up for you, answering questions like: Why is prototyping essential to making truly new things? What's the value of knowing what you're about and crafting a personal manifesto? How can we find the freedom to think in an increasingly connected world?

You might think David Byrne's American Utopia on Broadway is a concert. It's not. Yet, it's not exactly a play or a musical. It's something else outside the box. The Talking Heads frontman— along with choreographer Annie-B Parsons' and a band of international musicians, vocalists, and dancers—creates a show about exploring the unconventional, especially when it comes to unconventional thought and thought processes. American Utopia made host Ruthie Fierberg wonder: How many solutions to society's conflicts might we be overlooking because we think the way we have always thought? American Utopia performer Tendayi Kuumba and experts Dr. Vinoo Alluri and Dr. Alejandro Lleras join us to explore: What problems could we solve if we used more of our minds and used our minds differently?

We're taking a little break this week, but we still put together this bonus episode to share fun jokes & ridiculous food puns as well as some more fun music from Hank's Granny, aka Jeanie Murphy. We also share a bit more about the famous Dogland saying, “We are all connected at our roots, and rooted in our connection.” It feels perfect to talk about connection at this time. We round out the episode with a talk about Native American Heritage Month and share a trailer from one of our favorite shows and a special song from their incredible composer. Stay past the jokes to hear the trailer for Coin Trick, https://www.cointrick.net/, a narrative series that follows 12-year-old Cassidy and the flute-playing mischief-maker Kokopelli on their adventures through a fantasy world based in Native American mythology. Coin Trick is a fellow member of Kids Listen- a great place to find wonderful family shows. We are blown away, honored, and excited to share a song gifted to us from Coin Trick's composer, Shelley Morningsong, https://shelleymorningsongonline.com/. Shelley has also written a gorgeous children's book, and it includes a free audio download that we are loving in our house. This resource from IllumiNative called "How to Center and Be a Good Ally to Indigenous People this Thanksgiving" is an excellent read. https://bit.ly/3FIELv2 We really enjoyed this article from PBS about finding ways to honor the real history of this time in the US : https://www.pbs.org/parents/thrive/thanksgiving-practicing-gratitude-and-honoring-the-real-story We are really impressed by this coverage in Teen Vogue: Land Acknowledgements: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/indigenous-land-acknowledgement-explained We create this show in the ancestral lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other Tribes of the first people who made their homes along the rivers here in what is now called “Portland, Oregon.” These groups created communities and summer encampments along the Columbia and Willamette rivers and harvested and used the plentiful natural resources of the area for thousands of years. Today, the Native community of Portland is the 9th largest urban population in the USA.

Do you know how to be a good ally? Nova Reid's new book The Good Ally might surprise you – in it she shares her experience as a Black woman in the UK and how racism affected her from as young as seven years old. But she also talks about how sometimes, well-meaning, liberal white women can cause the most harm. It's a confronting but incredibly important topic, and in our conversation today she shares why it's vital that we all get comfortable with being uncomfortable. She also tells us about her experience providing the expert commentary on race for the Royal Wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and about how to have those difficult conversations with friends and family that we'd all prefer to avoid. Let's hear about why we need to start talking… novareid.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This could possibly be one of the most important conversations I've ever had on the Podcast. Nova Reid is a Ted speaker, anti-racism activist, and author. Her incredible debut book The Good Ally is out now. I think the book should be required reading. It is informative and incredibly researched, kind and compassionate. Nova invites us to do the self-inquiry and uncomfortable work of unlearning our own racism. We chat about: What racism is Why the definition we may have in our head isn't helpful Why we have got to start having conversations with our children about race and how to do it Trauma and racism The heartbreaking impact of racism on Nova's body It really is an incredible episode. It's also important for me to say that I have so much to do in my own anti-racism work. To be honest, I have to admit to you that I was nervous about talking to Nova and having this conversation. What I'm learning is how important these conversations are, especially if you are uncomfortable. You will hear me in discomfort, with some shame and guilt. I think that is part of the importance of having these conversations and doing this work. As Nova says, there is always something to explore in what comes up for us. I hope you enjoy the episode. Please let me know what you think. As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.

Monique DeBose is a transformational entertainer. What's that, you ask? Well, she writes music, plays, and creates courses for women that change lives. I daresay she'll have that effect on you in this podcast episode too. We meander into all kinds of provocative places as we unpack how Monique's good girl conditioning has infiltrated her life, right down to what she thinks about going into a store, to how she mothers her sons. She shares generously about her own experience, as a woman of color, of how she's moving out of good girl, and into sovereign woman. How? Monique is a big believer in finding a safe, supportive community during your transformative process. She also gives us a powerful exercise to start clearing our “want” and “desire” pipes. The flow in those “want” pipes is often clogged in women with good girl conditioning. Oh, and I've woven in some music from Monique's new album, You Are The Sovereign One, to make this podcast even more transformational and experiential. Ready to step into sovereign woman?

This week we're sharing OMI with the award-winning anti-racism activist, educator, entrepreneur, TED speaker, media commentator and author Nova Reid. It's high time, she says, for white people to confront the “ugliness of anti-blackness” in Britain's colonial history, to own their shame and move towards a future of “mutual transformation” and “collective healing” Get your copy of THE GOOD ALLY from Primrose Hill Books HERE
My guest today is Nova Reid, a Ted speaker, activist and author. Nova uses her past experience working in mental wellbeing to encourage meaningful change from the inside out in many areas of how we live our lives including anti-racism work. Her work is really powerful, energising and moving and I really admire and respect everything she creates. In this episode, we also discuss Nova's new book The Good Ally: A Guided Anti-Racism Journey, an urgent call to arms to become better allies to each other. She provides such a thoughtful approach that centres around collective healing, encouraging all of us to embrace what makes us fully human and dig deep into self discovery. If you only listen to one of my Ctrl Alt Delete episodes, please make it this one! We talk about fear, shame, joy, boundaries, rest, healing, anti-racism and how to connect more deeply with each other. We laugh and we also get emotional. I loved speaking to her and going deep into the conversation about being fully human and getting to spend time together in person to record. I hope you enjoy this episode with Nova and please find the link to her book.

My debut book, The Good Ally is OUT NOW via your favourite bookseller or online: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-good-ally/nova-reid/9780008439484 In this episode it's just you and me kiddo wrapping up and reflecting on an incredible season. Going solo to share more about my author journey and barriers to author success. I also talk about healing and why courage and vulnerability are necessary to be anti-racist AND, I treat you to a little exclusive reading from my debut book The Good Ally. The Good Ally is an urgent call to arms to become better allies - and, in turn, human beings - against racism, and provides a thoughtful approach centering collective healing to do so. It is a book for those against persistent racial injustice, hungry to expand their knowledge and understanding of systemic racism in Britain and beyond. It intricately uncovers the roots of racism and its birthplace, anti-Blackness. It is for those who not only want to be able to better recognise both subtle and overt forms of racism in action, and to examine their powerful role in it, but who want to know what to tangibly do about it. The answer often lies within. Full of punch, humour and hope and packed with searing research and case studies – some toe-curling, some blood-boiling – The Good Ally will show you how, with knowledge, a dose of self-interrogation and a lot of courage, we can broker privilege and create powerful change.

In this episode I have the pleasure of talking to campaigner, writer and speaker, Gina Martin, who is best known for founding and running the national campaign to make upskirting illegal and changing English and Welsh law by creating the Voyeurism Act. Gina's first book Be The Change was published in 2019 and is a practical guide for activists starting out. Recently named one of the Evening Standard's 1000 most influential people in London, Gina is also an ambassador for UN Women UK and advocates for regular people creating change in their communities. Gina and I had an honest conversation about activism and what triggered her involvement leading the Upskirting Campaign which ended up changing the law. We talk about sexual assault and power, being an influencer vs and activist, anti-Blackness and the different standards that are held for white women who are campaigners and Black women and how human rights issues are deeply connected. We also talk about the impact of social media, racism in the law and most importantly the role you have and how can you impact change.

In this episode I have the pleasure of talking to Kym Oliver, writer, speaker and the 'Official Goddess' for The Triple Cripples - a platform dedicated to highlighting the narratives and increasing the visibility of Black, Brown & Indigenous Melanated People, living with Disability. Kym is dedicated to illuminating her ‘lived experience' with a long-term condition; examining its psychological, emotional, practical, social, cultural, structural and interpersonal effects, in order to create a blueprint for a more equitable future for our planet. She is determined to be the change she wishes to see. Kym and I had an incredibly honest and powerful conversation about living while black and disabled, the importance of not trivialising representation and disability and worthiness. We talk about racism, class, gender and ableism and how their intrinsic links to white supremacy and why intersectionality in anti-racism is so important. Additionally, why curiosity, and being on a constant journey of becoming and discovering, is vital for anti-racism. Surrendering to the work, always learning and un-peeling anti-blackness. We also talk about more about how The Triple Cripples came about, the work founders Kym Oliver and Jumoke Abdullahi are doing and how you can support them.

If you want to know what's going to win an Oscar in a couple years, you should talk to film and TV producer Franklin Leonard. Since 2005, he and his team at https://blcklst.com/ (The Black List) have circulated an annual list of the best screenplays floating around Hollywood that haven't yet been made into movies. But films that make it to the Black List — such as Argo, The King's Speech, and Promising Young Woman — often find later success. When he's not making movies or helping screenwriters win trophies, however, Franklin is a soccer obsessive, a student of history, and a leader trying to educate himself about good allyship.

This episode is sponsored by The Hopper (www.thehopper.tech).In this week’s episode, I have the pleasure of talking to the incredible author, historian, and British Civil Rights activist, Stella Dadzie, whose career has spanned over 40 years. Stella is a founding member of OWAAD (Organisation of Women of African and Asian Descent), a national umbrella group for Black women that emerged in the late 1970s as part of the British Civil Rights movement. She is often described as one of the “grandmothers” of Black Feminism in the UK. We talk about when Stella consciously became an activist, her work as a historian, researching trauma and self-care, the erasure of Black Women’s experience in the academic record, the erasure of their role in civil rights, education and ‘white noise’ debates and how we can all cling onto hope.So much Civil Rights and anti-racism activism has been led by incredible Black women, including Stella Dadzie and it is an honour to bring this episode to you.

I offer a content warning as we explore themes of suicide and drug use. Racist and homophobic language are also used to depict some of Daniel's lived experience. We discuss everything from mental health, gender expression, racism in liberal friendships and toxic masculinity. We also explore our shared commitment to collective healing through anti-racism work. Daniel also led powerful protests in Bristol during the Black Lives Matter resurgence following the murder of George Floyd in summer 2020 and we talk about what that period of time was like for him, what has changed and what has stayed the same.

"The world around us just needs to realize the power that we hold to create inclusive environments for everyone." -Loralei Cook Welcome back to Dive Right In with Jackie and Hannah! This week, we start off the episode by defining our terms and explaining some of the common definitions associated with the LGBTQ+ community. We believe that education is the key to informed activism, so by providing definitions, we hope to spread more awareness and inclusivity for the often marginalized Queer community. We also touch on the origins of the word "Queer" and how it has been reclaimed as a force for good. Jumping into our interview with Loralei Cook, an LGBTQ+ activist and one of the founders of the Queer on Campus organization, we discuss how being a Queer woman has impacted her. We then dive into discussing her organization, Queer on Campus, and the positive change it has had on people around her. It is amazing to see how young people are changing the world and we further this by discussing how to become a better ally and the importance of promoting equality for all. We also focus on representation and how the LGBTQ+ community is affected by the U.S. Healthcare system. We conclude the interview by discussing the hope and improvement the Biden-Harris Administration will bring in the upcoming months and years. Following our interview with Loralei, we wrap up by discussing the ideas of appropriation versus appreciation and the steps we plan on taking to address internalized homophobia. Thank you all for tuning in, and we we will see you all next week!

This week on the Uncharted Veterinary Podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and Stephanie Goss tackle not one, not two, but THREE questions from the mail bag. Links: Upcoming Events: https://unchartedvet.com/upcoming-events/ Swag: https://unchartedvet.com/swag The Three questions we addressing today are: 1. I have a question about increasing office call/exam fees. (I haven't done this since opening) Do we just do it and then answer questions when asked? Do we tell clients before we do it? When is the right time? Do we increase across the board? So many questions… but the idea of changing something like this that we look at every day is overwhelming to me. Thank you! Dr. Talking About Money Stresses Me Out 2. How do I deal with clients who've been sent to collections? Do I automatically send them a termination letter once the account goes to collections, or just flag them in the system should they try to come in again? What happens if they get scheduled again BEFORE someone reads the chart (Shhhhhh… I am not speaking from experience) Sincerely, Manager who Hates Dealing With Money 3. Stephanie and Andy (note who gets top billing ;) , I have a situation in my hospital that I think I know the answer to, but I wanted to ask for guidance. It may be a topic too sensitive for your podcast... The techs get to play their personal Pandora or Spotify in the treatment room where clients can't hear it (especially during curbside when no clients are in the building). I have been letting them play explicit lyrics since clients can't hear, but I've heard several rap songs drop the N-word. Some context: all of the staff are Caucasian and we are in an area that leans conservative. 1) Is this okay to allow? 2) Is there an easy way to not allow this with making them turn on the non-explicit setting on their service? I enjoyed your “How to make Saturday's better” episode about allowing staff to choose their own music, which made me think this could be a topic you would have insights to share.

“I was trying to make sure that none of my identities were distracting from the message and being able to represent my company well.” - Isaac Rocha Diversity and inclusion does not begin and end with race.

How can we be an ally in an ever-divided world? I had the most incredible and thought-provoking chat recently with global motivational dynamo Ricardo Gressel, aka Warrior Ric. In our discussion, we addressed why Warrior Ric, who hails originally from the America's (like yours truly), has a deep connection to South Africa, as well as his hopes for a better future for all its citizens. A graduate of Stanford University holding more 20 years of marketing and communications experience building blue chip brands across Africa and America, Ric now works in motivational speaking, specifically as a motivator for participants of obstacle course races (OCR). Ric honestly believes that doing things such as obstacle course racing is a perfect metaphor for helping us overcome everyday life challenges. He says that true greatness comes from within. We spoke about “failing forward,” and humans innate fear of change and of failing. Lastly, Ric shared his thoughts and views on the global war on racial injustices, on Black Lives Matter, and how we can all become better allies for the disadvantaged and oppressed. It was a true honour to speak with such a powerhouse of motivation and knowledge and I look forward to following Warrior Ric's journey in helping others reach their highest selves. The next awesome event he is an ambassador for is the Spar Women's Virtual Challenge themed “Be Sunshine.” I signed up for this challenge and I encourage you all to do so too! I think we can all learn more about the world by walking in each other's shoes for a bit. Happy listening!
