I don't get the chance to meet people like Franklin Rossman often enough. Someone who had found a big part of his life of sharing his art to improve young people's lives who are too often overlooked by public education. Franklin shares a fascinating story of growing up and the role music played in his life which led him to the role of Regional Director, New York for Guitars Over Guns. Check out Franklin's music HERE @franklinrossman @guitarsoverguns Franklin Rossman Bio: Growing up, Franklin Rossman always knew one thing—he was going to make his mark in Hip-Hop! As a kid, the Brooklyn, New York native soaked up all of the culture and sounds around him. JAY-Z, the Notorious B.I.G. and Nas helped to inspire Franklin's musical tastes and aspirations. With that, Franklin began creating, and his first works were a series of mixtapes under the stage name, The Incomparable Shakespeare. Franklin established himself as a talented lyricist early on with appearances on Sirius XM's Sway In The Morning, Showoff Radio with Statik Selektah, and MTV. He's performed alongside Hip-Hop luminaries including Slick Rick, The Lox, and has collaborated with the likes of Kool G. Rap, Sean P, and others. In addition to music, Franklin is intimately involved in education. He developed and piloted a Hip-Hop ELA curriculum. His work explores literacy through Hip-Hop, bringing a socially and culturally relevant approach to learning across schools and community organizations. For multiple summers, in partnership with Harlem Children's Zone, he helped coordinate literacy-based programming at Columbia University. With over a decade of experience in the classroom and the entertainment industry, Franklin remains committed to youth development. Guitars over Guns Mission Statement: Kids are awesome. They're creative. They're fearless. They're bursting with energy and hungry for knowledge. They know how to make the most of every opportunity. But kids from our most vulnerable communities don't always have the chance to discover just how awesome they can be. These kids are filled with promise. They have big dreams and bold stories to tell. And yet, due to circumstances and systems beyond their control, they don't always know that they have the freedom to choose a path of their own. At Guitars Over Guns, we're changing that through music, because we believe that music, combined with strong, consistent mentorship, can reshape the trajectory of a student's life.

EPISODE SUMMARY:Most people have never heard of a human milk bank. This is an opportunity to learn about a source of nutrition that just about everyone has experienced, but knows little about. Human milk is more than a source of nutrition, it is a medicine for premature infants who will not only survive but thrive if provided with human milk during their earliest days of life. Linda Harelick, MBA, DrPH, has a deep-rooted interest in social impact, shaped by her early experiences as a registered dietitian, which exposed her to the intricate interplay of environmental, cultural, and societal factors on individual potential. Seeking a shift into management, she pursued an MBA from Columbia Business School, a stepping stone to her role at Kraft Foods. Here, she managed strategic planning and marketing for renowned brands like Maxwell House Coffee and Post Cereal, culminating in leadership of Global Consumer Services. Eager to reconnect with health promotion, she attained a doctorate in public health from New York Medical College, propelling her to become Director of Operations and Communications at ChildObesity180 at Tufts University. In this capacity, Linda harnessed her managerial acumen and public health expertise to propel a startup nonprofit into a prominent entity in the fight against childhood obesity. Displaying an unwavering commitment to child and family well-being, she joined Harlem Children's Zone, entrusted with extending the successful Healthy Harlem initiative nationwide. Presently, as Executive Director of the New York Milk Bank, Linda enthusiastically spearheads the provision of pasteurized donor human milk to preterm infants and medically fragile babies, furthering her mission to enhance the health outcomes of the most vulnerable.Name of your organization:The New York Milk BankWebsite: www.nymilkbank.orgFacebook: @nymilkbankInstagram : @nymilkbankLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-new-york-milk-bank#breastfeedingisbeautiful #breastfeedingsupport #BreastfeedingLife Tune in for this sensible conversation at TalkRadio.nyc

How can we reduce the staggering costs of incarceration and invest instead in the potential of our youth? Is there a way?Geoffrey Canada is an advocate for education and social justice. He drew attention to the high incarceration rates in certain neighborhoods and communities by displaying a map of Manhattan with clusters of red dots indicating where people were in jail. He challenged wealthy individuals to invest more in education, pointing out that the cost of incarcerating someone was significantly higher than the cost of educating them. He believed that investing in children from disadvantaged backgrounds could lead to a better future for them, their families, and society as a whole.Guild CEO Rachel Romer and best-selling author Adam Grant speak to Geoffrey Canada, an American educator, social activist, author, president of Harlem Children's Zone and founder of the William Julius Wilson Institute on the topics of investing in children, developing a wide range of skills, and employee recruitment and retention. Key takeaways from our conversation with Geoffrey:Investing in education and wraparound services can be beneficial for kids: Geoffrey emphasizes the financial benefits of investing in education and wraparound services and compares the cost of prevention to the cost of incarceration, which can be very high. Therefore, it is important to invest in education and wraparound services to prevent kids from ending up in jail.Companies should focus on hiring from their local communities: Geoffrey believes that companies should make an effort to hire employees from their local communities, rather than importing employees from other areas. This promotes equal access to opportunities and helps to level the playing field for people from all demographics.Investing in frontline workers' skillset leads to cost savings: Geoffrey highlights the importance of investing in the skillset of frontline workers, which can lead to significant cost savings for a company in the long run. Soft skills and tacit knowledge are crucial for people to advance in their careers, but are often not taught. Therefore, businesses should focus on teaching these skills to their employees to promote growth and development.Join us for a provocative conversation that will expand your knowledge on the topics of investing in children, developing a wide range of skills, and employee recruitment and retention. This episode will empower you to view situations from a different perspective, motivate and inspire you to expand your skill set, and more.More resources from GuildAbout Geoffrey Canada:Geoffrey Canada is a renowned American educator, social activist, and author who has dedicated his life to transforming education in underprivileged communities.

Stephen spent years in the business sector, founding and running companies, which helped organizations celebrate and inspire their employees.  He first found meditation through Buddhism and after years of personal practice, Stephen recognized that wellbeing needed to be shared with the world in a more approachable, accessible way.

Encompassing all of Mike Bloomberg's giving, Bloomberg Philanthropies includes his foundation and corporate and personal philanthropy as well as Bloomberg Associates, a pro bono consultancy that works with mayors in cities around the world. During our conversation today, Cathy encourages us to embrace the obvious and, as a mentor once told her, “be open to people who sees things that you don't, but should.” Cathy wants to encourage us to approach things with a conversational, exploratory, “how could we make sense of this differently” attitude. She encourages us to stop looking for moonshots and begin to embrace the obvious - what's in arms-reach, accessible, and available to us. To this point, Cathy concludes with an example from a friend at the Harlem Children's Zone who, during the pandemic, came to a realization of just how obvious the solutions really were. As always, we are grateful to our friends at CueBack for their continued support of The Fundraising Talent Podcast.

Public schools, for all their flaws, are centers of power and potential for teachers and parents. As a historian, Dr. Jones draws parallels between Booker T. Washington and Geoffrey Canada of the Harlem Children's Zone. In the aftermath of civil rights struggles, both accommodated the powerful and opposed collective efforts for systemic change.

By 2009, Rajaratnam was the 236th richest American and managed $7 Billion at Galleon. However, on October 16th of that year, he was arrested by the FBI for insider trading, which also caused the Galleon Group to fold.

Educators have the power to change the lives of the students they work with – but they also work within a system. That means there are also opportunities to change that system to make it work better for the educators and students it serves. That's the mission of Geoffrey Canada, renowned thought leader, activist and advocate for education reform. Three decades ago, Canada founded the Harlem Children's Zone, touted by the New York Times as “one of the most ambitious social-policy experiments of our time.” According to the Harlem Children's Zone website, the Zone was created with a clear mission – “to end intergenerational poverty in Central Harlem and lead the way for other long-distressed communities nationwide and around the world to do the same.” That mission has been brought to life through opportunities. Early childhood, education and career programs, community outreach, wellness initiatives and more have helped provide clearer pathways toward “mobility and prosperity.” That vision aligns with the goal Canada said he's built his life and career around, and he spent this episode of Change Starts Here's You First Summer Series exploring that mission with host Dustin Odham. “I have always been passionate about trying to bring the American dream to children who grow up in places where that dream seems to have disappeared,” he said.

Can a global pandemic provide a platform for change? If you are Kwame Owusu-Kesse, CEO of the Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ), the answer is a resounding yes. With a pre-existing, comprehensive, platform aimed to combat racial inequity and bridge educational divides, the Harlem Children’s Zone was in a uniquely well-prepared position when COVID hit. Able to identify the immediate and long-term needs of their community members, HCZ focused on a 5-pronged approach. Comprehensive and strategic, Kwame’s plan, designed to serve the local Harlem community, was quickly scaled for national use.  Kwame explains how his journey as the child of Ghanaian immigrants was forever changed as the result of a little luck in a little church basement. He took that luck and turned it into opportunity and from that opportunity and hard work, Kwame has successfully transferred his experience in the private sector to benefit the public sector. Kwame shares how he and the HCZ are dedicated to taking luck out of the equation so that every child experiences the freedom and independence that comes with opportunity.

Join us for a conversation about challenging carceral social work through the development and practice of an abolitionist social work. As demands to defund the police often look to social work as an alternative, panelists Tanisha "Wakumi" Douglas, Mimi Kim, Kirk "Jae" James and Cameron Rasmussen discuss the cautions of and possibilities for abolitionist social work. Social work, historically and today, has been deeply embedded in systems of carceral control. With social work's legacy of ties to policing and oppressive family regulation through the child welfare system, the social work community is actively imagining and working towards a social work rooted in abolition, turning to traditions of resistance that also characterize its history. This conversation, organized by the Network to Advance Abolitionist Social Work (NAASW) in partnership with Haymarket Books will look at challenging carceral social work through the development and practice of an abolitionist social work. The Network to Advance Abolitionist Social Work (NAASW) is a group of social workers from different parts of the US, building a year-long initiative to support abolitionist work in the field of social work. The initiative includes ongoing political education, research / knowledge generation around carceral and abolition social work, developing an online hub of abolitionist social work resources, and broader organizing and advocacy efforts to build abolitionist ideas and practices into social work. ---------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Tanisha “Wakumi” Douglas is the daughter of an undocumented immigrant who served 33 years in prison.

Summary:Our guest today is Brian Tobal. Brian used to be a teacher at the Harlem Children's Zone, then worked as a researcher, and then he spent the last few years building lots of educational software, and curriculum for schools, universities and businesses. Now, Brian has started SchoolHouse with his co-founder, to have parents get together and create microschools or learning pods in their own homes or in flexible spaces.In this episode, Brian and I discuss what it takes for an educational program to find product-market fit. This means that the students are happy and engaged, they are succesfull in their learning goals, and the experience is amazing for everyone involved, so that they all keep coming back for more.Listen and take note of how to find this magical fit in any learning experience you create.In our discussion, we cover:06:38 - "The founding principle is that the teacher's attention is the most valuable piece in the educational brew or ecosystem. If you really want to have a high quality educational experience, you'd increase the amount of teacher attention that each child is receiving."09:21 - "The bet was that we could take outstanding teachers and give them high autonomy, and it would produce better educational outcomes. And that turns out to be true."13:45 - "You're abstracting away whatever's unnecessary, you're matching the right teacher (with the right philosophy and experience) with the family and what they're looking for. And then a group is formed around that. So it's a bit like product-teacher-market fit. Market being the family. You're basically making sure that the right teacher and the right family are interacting ."23:04 - "The most interesting thing to me is that when we removed all the prescriptive schedules and cells and bells, (I can't remember who said that, but I thought it was a good phrase), they move faster. That's interesting. Let's push on that. Let's use that."27:37 - "Maybe the way of thinking about it: If you have an assembly line, attention doesn't matter. If you're a sculptor, attention is everything. And our teachers aren't on an assembly line anymore. They're working with the marble in front of them."Here are some resources mentioned in our discussion:Can a School Have Product-Market Fit? by Brian TobalWhat is the Orton-Gillingham Approach?Bloom's 2 sigma problemLive Q&A with SchoolHouse CEO Brian TobalWhere to learn more about Brian:Twitter - https://twitter.com/briantobalLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-tobal-a4946911Website - https://www.getschoolhouse.com/Email - brian@getschoolhouse.comWhere to learn more about Enrollhand: Website - www.enrollhand.comWebinar - https://webinar-replay.enrollhand.comOur free Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/schoolgrowth/

The research is clear: for too many Americans, zip codes determine destinies. In other words, the places in which we are born and grow up have a greater impact on our life outcomes than any other single determinant, including genetics.

When they sleep better we sleep better. Children can experience difficulty falling asleep for a number of reasons.

One way to help them sleep better is to teach your child to practice mindfulness. Many parents practice mindfulness and experience the benefits. In this podcast episode, we are talking about how mindfulness can help children sleep better and a sweet little book that will help children practice before bedtime.

As a leader in the yoga and mindfulness world for 14 years, Jennifer has been inspiring and teaching children, their caregivers, and teachers how these powerful practices improve our mental and physical well-being. As a mother of two young daughters, she understands the importance of children achieving peaceful rest, so they will be equipped to face their over-stimulating and pressure-filled world. Her latest project, Thank You Body, Thank You Heart, is the perfect nighttime practice to calm and connect with our bodies in a meaningful way. There are many things that will shape a child's relationship with their own body,” says Cohen Harper. “Many of them are outside of our control, but the more we can do to create a healthy identity early on, the more resilient our kids will be when faced with wildly competing messages about their worth. One consideration is that often, as our kids get older, they relate more and more to their bodies based on the way it looks. Actually, I find the world already relates to my young daughters based on how they look! If we can remember to help kids orient to their body in terms of function and feeling, we can help them become more embodied people, with better self-awareness, and an increased ability to understand and meet their own needs.

Show Notes and Questions In what way can we teach kids that their unique body, mind, and heart have a role in bringing peace to the world around them? How can we help our children to have a healthy relationship with their bodies? Your book is almost like a meditation guide to encourage our children to be grateful for everything the body is capable of, is that your intention, do some of these ideas come from your yoga practice? Along with your book, do you have any other suggestions for young children who may experience some night time anxiety or trouble sleeping? You seem to balance it all so well motherhood entrepreneurship, staying physically fit with yoga, how do you do it?
