Katie Vogel of the Henry Street Settlement, as well as Jimmy Fay and Salonee Bhaman of the Close Friends Collective join us to discuss. *This segment is guest-hosted by Tiffany Hanssen. 

Design your look, design your life. Rambler Studios is a creative platform for raw talent. It offers young people a safe space where they can discover what they're good at and find a sense of belonging – and maybe a career in street fashion. Started by Carmen van der Vecht in Amsterdam in 2010, it has branched out to New York's Lower East Side. It operates there under the wings of the Henry Street Settlement, a philanthropic institution dating back to the late 1800's. In the same basement in a social housing project where he himself learned to sew, fashion coach Andres Biel helps kids create and market their own ideas – “with some help from TikTok!”. On both sides of the Atlantic, the young people in the program say: “The most important thing I'm getting here are life skills.” This is the third episode of the four-part bi-weekly Future 400 podcast series from the Dutch Consulate in New York, created and presented by John Adams Institute director Tracy Metz. It marks the 400th anniversary of the founding of New Amsterdam, the city that became New York.

ABOUT JACKÉE HARRY Vivacious, witty, and completely unforgettable, Jackée Harry was born to entertain.Born Jacqueline Yvonne Harry on August 14, 1956 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and reared from the age of nine in Harlem, New York, by her mother, Flossie, Jackée landed the lead role of the King in her school's production of The King and I at the tender age of fourteen. Upon graduation from New York City's High School of Music and Art with a distinction in Opera, Jackée attended the University of Long Island, where she earned her B.A. in education. Jackée began her career as a history teacher at Brooklyn Technical High School but left after two years to pursue acting. She studied at the Henry Street Settlement on the Lower East Side and made her professional acting debut in 1973 in Richard Wesley's Goin' Through Changes; not long afterward, she made her Broadway debut in A Broadway Musical as Melinda Bernard. Other Broadway performances include The Wiz, Eubie!, and One Mo' Time. In 1983, Jackée made her first television appearance opposite Morgan Freeman in the daytime soap operaAnother World. A year later, she landed her iconic role of Sandra Clark on the NBC sitcom 227. As the breakout star of the series, Jackée became the first African American to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series and was also nominated for a Golden Globe. Her performance on227 inspired NBC producers to create a television pilot for her entitled Jackée. After departing from 227 in 1989, she starred opposite Oprah Winfrey in the critically acclaimed adaptation of Gloria Naylor's novelThe Women of Brewster Place. In 1991, Jackée joined an all-star cast led by Della Reese when she played the role of Ruth 'CoCo' Royal in The Royal Family.

Jackée also made guest appearances onAmen, Designing Women, Dave's World, Hollywood Squares, 7th Heaven, and That's So Raven, before joining the cast of Everybody Hates Chris in 2006. Hollywood success did not lead Jackée to turn her back on theater; in 1994 she returned to the stage as Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill followed by stints in For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide and The Vagina Monologues. In 2003 she played the role of the Madam in The Boys From Syracuse on Broadway. Jackée also performed before sold-out audiences across the nation in the stage play The Cleanup Woman, which is called "one of the highest grossing gospel stage plays of all time" and fronted an Off-Broadway limited-run of NEWSical: The Musical.Beyond acting, Jackée is a vocal champion of healthy living, education, and philanthropy. She is proud to be a spokesperson for the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund, and a Global Ambassador to the Women's International Center. The National Congress of Black Women presented her with the "Woman of Substance" Award in 2010.In addition to recurring roles on Let's Stay Together, Baby Daddy, Girl Meets World, and The Cool Kids, Jackée starred on the CW's The First Family and OWN'sThe Paynes. She was nominated for a Nollywood and African Film Critics Award for her role in the motion picture The Man in 3B.

ABOUT DAYS OF OUR LIVES ON PEACOCK For the past 58 years, Days of our Lives has remained a staple daytime drama. It has weathered political and societal shifts since the mid-1960s and proudly introduced its first Black family, the Grants, in the mid-1970s.

Episode Notes On this episode, Jeff and Bruce come on strong with the questions and Michael Tiedemann, CEO of Alvarium Tiedemann, takes them in stride. There's so much to unpack, from the inception of the Tiedemann Advisors to its journey of rebranding and going public. Jeff is curious about Michael's lack of interest in private equity. Bruce wants to know what the heck Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop have to do with Michael Tiedemann. And of course the bigger questions: Does an RIA go public? If so, when? And do you misalign with your clients by going public? They note that the company is not just an RIA, but also has real estate and asset management businesses, and discuss why merging three businesses privately has its own set of major challenges. Michael admits he has overall geopolitical concerns over the next three years. He also expresses the company's position on acquisitions and how it's maintained a high level of organic growth. Guest Bio: Michael Tiedemann is Chief Executive Officer of Alvarium Tiedemann I AlTi. Michael began his career working for Tiedemann Investment Group (TIG) as an emerging markets research analyst. In 1994, he joined the equity research group at Banco Garantia, one of Brazil's leading Investment Banks, living in Brazil for two years. Later Michael ran their equity sales and trading operations out of New York where he worked closely with Garantia's top-ranked Hedge Fund-of-Fund Group. In 1998, when Credit Suisse acquired Garantia, he remained there, heading up their sales trading efforts for Latin America, until he left to start Tiedemann Advisors in 2000. Michael has been a selected speaker at a number of financial and regulatory associations around the country. In 2012, the Henry Street Settlement honored Michael for his contribution to charitable causes, and most recently in 2017 Michael received the Impact Award for his contribution to fighting poverty by the River Fund of New York.

We're back again with Theresa Young, the Director of Helen's House, a shelter operated by Henry Street Settlement. She discusses the hardships of going through the Prevention Assistance and Temporary Housing (PATH) system, families' struggles when entering the shelter system, and mental health triggers.

There is no such thing as effortless success. Learn from the trials and tribulations of a female tech founder, Andrea Gerson. THIS WEEK'S TOPIC:Positive change is possible in your own lives and careers. Andrea is proof of that. She now knows that her past does not define her future and she wants to help you realize the same. Learn how she overcame a number of obstacles to go from a Community College dropout to Columbia with a 4.0 GPA to NYU for her graduate degree to eventually finding her "zone of genius" as one of the top-ranked professional resume writers in the country and recent tech founder.*Note: some listeners may find content around depression and suicide triggering. If you are in need of help or support please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Available 24 hours at1-800-273-8255.THIS WEEK'S GUEST:As one of the top-ranked professional resume writers in the country, Andrea Gerson has crafted impactful hiring materials for thousands of clients – many of who have gotten hired at organizations like Google, Apple, and the United Nations. She even created a resume for a Chief of Staff in the Obama Administration!A social worker by training, Andrea started her career in the nonprofit workforce development sector. She spent six years working with NYC-based agencies, helping people from high-need communities to create resumes and get hired in self-sustaining roles. She became really good at writing resumes. Like, really really good. (side note: She was the #1 resume writer in Yelp in New York City for 10 years straight.) After one too many friends asked her to review their resumes in exchange for a beer, she launched her website, ResumeScripter.com. This was in 2011, and she was still in school. By the time Andrea finished her Master's program, resume writing had evolved into her full-time job. 100% of her clients have been through referrals and online reviews, and her clients average 40% salary bumps.By 2019, Andrea had been writing resumes full-time for private clients for five years. The repetition started to seep in, and she began to feel less and less energized and purpose-driven in her work. To reconnect with the equity-minded reasons she originally got into the field, Andrea started pitching herself to workforce nonprofits as a trainer and consultant. She landed a six-month consulting gig to train 50 job counselors on all things resume-related. Through these sessions, she saw firsthand what she recalled from earlier in her career: Job counselors at these nonprofits were spending way too much time writing resumes that were not actually positioning their participants for much beyond minimum wage jobs. Andrea felt like this was a huge missed opportunity to intervene in the cycle of economic inequality. So she and her employee created a digital platform that made her resume writing tactics, industry-specific content, and templates easily accessible to these counselors. She launched the tool as an online subscription service in 2020, and organizations like Goodwill and Henry Street Settlement have already signed up. Andrea's currently working on an improved version of the platform, and a version for individual job-seekers will be launching in the fall of 2022.Support the show

Chinese-American Jeanie Tung shares with Analiza her Boss Mama story about being a rebel. Jeanie had rebel parents who married even when their parents forbid them to. Jeanie was born in Taiwan and moved to the U.S. when she was two. When she was four, a teacher told Jeanie's mom that Jeanie was a piano prodigy. Jeanie worked hard and got a seat at Julliard. There, Jeanie realized that her heart was not into piano.  She changed careers and went to law school, graduating from the University of Wisconsin. Jeanie practiced law for a few years but again, her heart was not into being an attorney. She leaned into her passion for advocating for Asian American rights and became a leader at different advocacy organizations. Jeanie is currently at the Henry Street Settlement helping marginalized New Yorkers find jobs. Jeanie shares her journey time and time again of facing pressure from her family and society to follow the typical route to success.  In Boss Mamas, we talk about the importance of trusting yourself and your authenticity and listening to your heart. Jeanie is a great example of this. Jeanie also shares her journey to realizing she is polyamorous and how she parents her daughter through her daughter's own choices.  Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/ep-23from-piano-prodigy-to-polyamory-and-values-aligned-work-with-jeanie-tung

Today, I'm joined by Head of the New York City office for Lendlease Development, Melissa Román Burch. Melissa is a leading property executive and developer in New York with twenty years of public-company real estate experience. In our conversation, we discuss how growing up in Ohio, attending college in Cambridge, and living her adult life in New York City has shaped her outlook on real estate. We touch on the role of academic institutions as economic generators for the cities in which they're situated and the connection between community and higher education. Melissa shares the three main lessons that she learned from her time on the Pacific Park/ Atlantic Yards project, a massive mixed-use commercial and residential development in Brooklyn. We discuss getting buy-in from the community, learning how to build in a dense urban environment, and understanding the nature of public-private partnership. Melissa's currently working on the Claremont Hall renovation and provides some details on the background, challenges, and opportunities that she's seeing with the project. We get into the New York City phenomenon of air rights and Melissa shares how the team is monetizing 300,000 aerial square feet to weave together the gothic collegiate style into modern living. Melissa also shares the importance of incorporating community feedback and local organizations on development projects, namely through the lens of the 1 Java Street project. Lendlease is transforming a vacant, single-story industrial warehouse into 850 units of housing, 30% of which will be affordable. They are also redeveloping the waterfront into an esplanade that will be open to the public. As property and rental prices skyrocket, housing access is top-of-mind for Lendlease. We round out the conversation by discussing the core purpose of Lendlease and what drew Melissa to join the team. Because Lendlease has construction, development, and investment under one roof, they're set apart from almost every New York City developer. She describes some of the significant carbon reductions that they're making towards their goal to be absolute carbon zero by 2040. A lofty goal, but Melissa believes it's achievable given their resources and dedication to the mission.About the Guest:Melissa is the Head of the New York City office for Lendlease Development where she spearheaded the Sydney-based firms' entry and expansion into the New York market and originated a pipeline of large-scale, ground-up developments for the firm. Before joining Lendlease in 2015, she worked at Forest City Ratner for 12 years, where she oversaw the Pacific Park/Atlantic Yard project featuring the Barclays Center.

We are in the process of closing out Season I, and we thank all of you for your support throughout this journey. Our latest episode focuses on co-parenting during the pandemic, as this is a topic that affects both of us. We were joined by Tera Gurney, former director of Henry Street Settlement's Parent Center who continues to provide workshops for Henry Street Settlement, which are still in high demand. Tera, herself, is a parent who is also a stepmother, so she has both a personal and professional understanding of the situation. Tera's Co-Parenting workshop was always one of the most popular workshops offered. As usual, she provides some very valuable information, whether you are parallel parenting, co-parenting, or doing something in between. As Tera points out, no situation is better; it is just what works for you.

On this week's show we will take an in depth look at arts organizations, specifically at smaller arts organizations that are part of a backbone of art in New York but that many people don't know about. My guests will be Craig Peterson, Executive Artistic Director of the Abrons Arts Center at the Henry Street Settlement, https://www.abronsartscenter.org/about/; and Brian Rogers, Artistic Director of The Chocolate Factory Theater, https://chocolatefactorytheater.org/.Tune in for this fascinating conversation at TalkRadio.nyc or watch the Facebook Livestream by clicking here.SHOW NOTESSEGMENT 1Tonight's show will be on New York's art organizations. The guests are Craig Peterson and Brian Rogers. Craig Peterson is the Executive Director Artistic Director of the Abrons Arts Center. Growing up he was always interested in art and dance. He eventually moved to New York to be an artist. Craig admits his adjustment to the artistic director position was slow but he kept working at it. In 2014, he became a program director before moving to Abrons. They provide an art source for so many people. SEGMENT 2At Abrons, they provide multiple disciplinary education programs. They present art mainly across theater, art and dance. Scott is asked if there are any challenges that small art organizations may face. Being a smaller organization could possibly effect certain things but Scott confirms that there are not many differences between what larger organizations face. Theyjust want to reach as many people through art as they can. A large number of people come in from outside of the neighborhood. The art center is internationally recognized and they support international artists. SEGMENT 3The second guest is Brian Rogers who is a director and filmmaker. He was born in Los Angeles but mainly grew up in Idaho. He went to art school in Vermont then had his mind set on going to New York because that was where the action was. He later helped create The Chocolate Factory Theater and is now the Artistic Director. The venue is named the way it is because it used to be a chocolate factory. In 2004 the organization started but money was tight. Brian admits it took a while for it to get better but was glad it did. Furthermore, unlike other organizations, the Chocolate Factory Theater is run by the artists which is good for the culture of the organization. SEGMENT 4The Chocolate Factory Theater is best known as an experimental art company. They host a variety of theater, dance and music performances. Brian also does fundraising for the theater. He admits that it is very challenging for small organizations to make money because they rely heavily on donations and grants. The generosity of others is very important to them. Brian states that ticket sales make up less than five percent of their income. The give and take relationship between the city and organization is what keeps them going. 

Synopsis OK – say you were paid to listen to and promote hundreds of new classical recordings every month and travel the world to broker new deals for a major record company. The question is, “What would you do in your spare time?” Well, if you’re a composer, the answer is easy: write your OWN music, of course. Sean Hickey’s “day job” is being the Senior Vice-President for Sales and Business Development at Naxos of America, but who also finds time to create his own chamber and orchestral works. On today’s date in 2007, for example, his Clarinet Concerto received its premiere performance at Symphony Space in New York City, with David Gould as soloist with the Metro Chamber Orchestra.

Synopsis OK – say you were paid to listen to and promote hundreds of new classical recordings every month and travel the world to broker new deals for a major record company. The question is, “What would you do in your spare time?” Well, if you’re a composer, the answer is easy: write your OWN music, of course. Sean Hickey’s “day job” is being the Senior Vice-President for Sales and Business Development at Naxos of America, but who also finds time to create his own chamber and orchestral works. On today’s date in 2007, for example, his Clarinet Concerto received its premiere performance at Symphony Space in New York City, with David Gould as soloist with the Metro Chamber Orchestra. It’s gone on to be his most-performed orchestra work, and, in keeping with Hickey’s globe-trotting, has been recorded in the Russian Federation by another virtuoso clarinetist, Alexander Fiterstein with the St. Petersburg State Academic Symphony. The work also incorporates fragments of folk tunes from Scotland as part of the creative mix.

 Today we're celebrating the birthday of Lillian Wald, an American nurse, humanitarian, and the founder of the Henry Street Settlement in New York! Amongst many of her achievements, Lillian was the primary developer of modern day community nursing, and was an advocate for education, civil rights, and communities for lower-income families. Happy birthday, Lillian! If YOU want a birthday shoutout, email us with your name, and a little bit of information about you, at TheNameDayProject@gmail.com

On this week’s program we will take an in depth look at immigrants: where they came from, why they came to New York, and how their communities impacted the City in everything from our economic ethos to our political culture. We also will look at how one particular kind of institution, the Settlement House, met the needs of immigrants, and we will explore the history of one of New York’s early settlement houses, the Henry Street Settlement on the Lower East Side. My guests will be Robert Snyder, Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Journalism at Rutgers University and the Manhattan Borough Historian, who co-authored the book All The Nations Under Heaven; and national award winning curator Ellen Snyder-Grenier, author of The House on Henry Street: The Enduring Life of a Lower East Side Settlement. Segment 1 Jeff introduces his first guest Dr. Robert Snyder the Manhattan borough historian, a professor at Rutgers, and an author. Jeff asks Robert if he was initially born in New York, which leads him to discuss his upbringing. Jeff then has Robert tell him when he became interested in history, which Robert has been passionate about since he was young. Robert talks about how his books were helpful in getting him elected as the Manhattan borough historian. Jeff asks Robert how he became involved in writing his book All the Nations Under Heaven and his research. Jeff and Robert discuss immigration and the qualities of the first Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam. They go back before the Dutch to bring up the Spanish immigrant Juan Rodriguez, who settled on Governor's Island. Segment 2 Jeff asks Robert about “the rule of twos,” an idea in his book that talks about how every significant immigration surge involves two groups of immigrants. He credits the rise of Irish immigrants to the famine of the 1840s. Jeff asks whether there were any of the Irish that became part of the nativist movement. They move on to the next wave of immigrants; the Italian and Jewish people. Robert mentions how adept the Irish became about joining the American political scene and setting the stage for the following immigrants. Jeff and Robert bring up the effect World War I and World War II had on immigration in New York and how congress at the time began to limit immigration. Segment 3 Jeff introduces his next guest Ellen Snyder-Grenier author of the House on Henry Street: The Enduring Life of a Lower East Side Settlement. Jeff first asks Ellen how she became interested in history, which she inherited from her very encouraging parents. He then asks when her work as a curator started, and Ellen talks about how her college experiences led her down this path. Ellen discusses the joys of her work and working with designers and creative people. Her work has taken her to museums everywhere, from Alaska to Philadelphia. Jeff brings up the settlement house and asks how it is different from other social service houses. Jeff asks when and where the first settlement house is, which first was built in London in 1887 and was created to help solve poverty. Ellen talks about how, by 1910, there were four hundred settlement houses in the city. Ellen mentions Lillian Wald, the nurse who founded one of the city’s most popular settlement houses.  Segment 4 Jeff and Ellen go into depth about how Lillian Wald became involved with helping the disenfranchised. She was inspired by seeing young girls home in the Lower East Side, which had terrible conditions back then. Ellen talks about the programs Lillian created for immigrants and how accepting she was of other cultures. Jeff asks about the services Lillian’s Henry Street Home offered. Jeff brings up the changing Lower East Sides neighborhoods and asks how the Henry Street Home has changed over the years.

On a cold March day in 1893, 26-year-old nurse Lillian Wald rushed through the poverty-stricken streets of New York’s Lower East Side to a squalid bedroom where a young mother lay dying—abandoned by her doctor because she could not pay his fee. The misery in the room and the walk to reach it inspired Wald to establish Henry Street Settlement, which would become one of the most influential social welfare organizations in American history. Through personal narratives, vivid images, and previously untold stories, Ellen M. Snyder-Grenier chronicles Henry Street’s sweeping history from 1893 to today in The House on Henry Street: The Enduring Life of a Lower East Side Settlement (NYU Press). From the fights for public health and immigrants’ rights that fueled its founding, to advocating for relief during the Great Depression, all the way to tackling homelessness and AIDS in the 1980s, and into today—Henry Street has been a champion for social justice. Its powerful narrative illuminates larger stories about poverty, and who is “worthy” of help; immigration and migration, and who is welcomed; human rights, and whose voice is heard. For over 125 years, Henry Street Settlement has survived in a changing city and nation because of its ability to change with the times; because of the ingenuity of its guiding principle—that by bridging divides of class, culture, and race we could create a more equitable world; and because of the persistence of poverty, racism, and income disparity that it has pledged to confront. This makes the story of Henry Street as relevant today as it was more than a century ago. The House on Henry Street is not just about the challenges of overcoming hardship, but about the best possibilities of urban life and the hope and ambition it takes to achieve them.

EPISODE 295: This is a podcast about kindness and care. About the Progressive Era pioneers who saved the lives of people in need -- from the Lower East Side to Washington Heights, from Hell's Kitchen to Fort Greene. Within just a few decades – between the 1880s and the 1920s – so much social change occurred within American life, upending so many cultural norms and advancing so many important social issues, that these years became known as the Progressive Era. And at the forefront of many of these changes were women. In this show, Greg visits two important New York City social landmarks of this era --Henry Street Settlement, founded by Lillian Wald in the Lower East Side, and the Cabrini Shrine, where Mother Frances X. Cabrini continued her work with New York's Italian American population. Then he pays a visit to the Brooklyn Historical Society and their exhibition Taking Care of Brooklyn: Stories of Sickness and Health, featuring artifacts from the borough's surprising connection to medical and social innovation -- from settlement houses to the birth control revolution advocated by Margaret Sanger. If you have ancestors who came through New York City during 1880s through the 1920s, most likely they came into contact with the efforts of some of the women featured in this show. From the White Rose Mission, providing help for young black women, to the life-saving investigations of 'Dr. Joe' aka Sara Josephine Baker, leading the city's fight for improvements to public health. Greg is joined by several wonderful guests helping to tell this story, including Tanya Bielski-Braham (currently of the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh), Beckett Graham(of the History Chicks podcast), Julie Golia (Vice President for Curatorial Affairs and Collections at the Brooklyn Historical Society), Cherie Sprosty (director of liturgy at the Cabrini Shrine) and Katie Vogel (public historian at the Henry Street Settlement).  boweryboyshistory.com Support the show.
