POPULARITY
The chief foreign correspondent of The Sunday Times and bestselling author of ‘I am Malala' and ‘The Girl From Aleppo' visits the South West. Christina Lamb's work is defined by determination and curiosity to vividly convey life in areas of danger and conflict. How else would the rest of us know about the injustice, the violence, but also the hope that can be found in those dark places? What is the point of bearing witness to the atrocities of war? What difference can journalism make? As one of Britain's leading foreign correspondents, Christina Lamb has never wavered from giving a voice to the unsung heroes of war, often women like the cyclists in Kabul, the Zimbabwean lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa, and the famous Malala. In this talk, Christina Lamb speaks about the defining moments of her career as an author and journalist: travelling with the Mujahidin, the resistance fighting Soviet occupation in Afghanistan during the Cold War, being in a 360 Taliban ambush, and surviving a bus bombing at an assassination attempt on Pakistan's Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. After 38 years of reporting from the most dangerous places on earth, Christina shares why she still goes to war, asking what we can learn about humans, conflict, and resilience. CHRISTINA LAMB Author and Foreign Correspondent Christina Lamb is one of Britain's leading foreign journalists as well as a bestselling author. Her despatches with the Afghan mujaheddin fighting the Soviet Union saw her named Young Journalist of the Year at the age of 22. She has since reported everywhere from Iraq to Ukraine, Israel to Zimbabwe and been awarded Foreign Correspondent of the Year seven times as well as Europe's top war reporting prize, the Prix Bayeux, the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from both the Society of Editors and Women in Journalism as well as the Chesney Gold Medal for promoting the understanding of war, previously awarded to Henry Kissinger and Winston Churchill. She has always particularly focused on what war does to women, and her book Our Bodies, Their Battlefields about sexual violence in conflict was described by leading historian Antony Beevor as ‘the most powerful book' he had ever read and recently recommended by Queen Camilla in a speech. She has written ten books including co-authoring the international bestseller I Am Malala. She is a Global envoy for UN Education Cannot Wait, Honorary Fellow of University College Oxford, on the board of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, and an Associate of the Imperial War Museum and was awarded an OBE in 2013.
Episode SummaryThis episode of the Sunny Side Up Specials discusses overcoming impostor syndrome and cultivating inclusion for women in the tech industry. The speakers shared their diverse career journeys and experiences navigating the challenges of being women in tech. They discussed ways to challenge stereotypes through representation and open conversations. Advice was given on overcoming impostor syndrome through self-confidence, seeking help, and gaining experience. The speakers also suggested ways companies can better support women, such as providing resources, encouraging innovation, and promoting women into leadership roles.

Since joining as an intern, she has taken on increasing responsibilities while advancing her knowledge of the technology industry. Stella is committed to challenging stereotypes through representation and encourages women to embrace learning experiences outside their comfort zone. Key takeaways - Speaking up about experiences and having open conversations can help break down stereotypes - Finding representation and a support network boosts confidence and combats impostor syndrome - Companies should provide processes to encourage innovation from all employees Quotes"I think representation is such an important factor in fighting stereotypes. And it's not only for yourself but for other women to see that there is an example out there, there is representation out there." - Stella Wei. "What I would love to see is companies normalizing and rewarding trying new things and taking risks. Women are taught to be so much more risk averse than men." - Jennifer Hughes. “Companies need to start leading by example and we hear that we need more women in the tech industry, we need more women in STEM and stuff. But it's when the companies start creating these opportunities for women, I feel, that's where it motivates these women to try out something new.” - Ashwini Manjrekar. Recommended Resource Stella Wei recommended the "Woman at Work" podcast from Harvard Business Review which covers topics on career, leadership, and personal growth for women. Ashwini Manjarekar suggested the books "Atomic Habits" for implementing changes professionally and personally, and "I Am Malala" as an inspiring read about fighting for women's education. Jennifer Hughes advised exploring TED Talks on topics like women in tech and imposter syndrome, as well as gaining perspective from listening to a diversity of speakers.

I Am Malala I Am Malala Full Book Introduction When Malala Yousafzai was born in Pakistan, she was a normal girl, but she went on to resist terrorists and advocate for women's right to education. As a result, she was shot in the head by armed militants at the age of 15, but she miraculously survived. Her story moved the world, and she won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize at only 17 years old. How did she have the superhuman courage to face death, and how did she maintain such strong convictions in her fight for equality? Let's experience this brave and visionary tale together. Author : Malala Yousafzai, Christina LambMalala Yousafzai, born in 1997 in Pakistan, became well-known when she published an article on the BBC website at age 11 that argued for children's and women's rights to education. When she won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, she was only 17 years old, making her the youngest person to ever win the prize. Christina Lamb is a well-known British war journalist who started covering Pakistan and Afghanistan in 1987. She has been named Britain's Foreign Correspondent of the Year five times, and she has received Europe's highest honor for war correspondents, the Prix Bayeux-Calvados. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book, I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban. In the beginning of the 21st century, most people living in peaceful countries enjoyed comfortable lives, and they saw the right to education as a given. They could hardly imagine that, under the same sky, many corners of this world were full of war. The dark places were overrun with fear. Citizens of those countries were being tossed between endless oppression and torment, and countless children were yearning for education and equal treatment, but they struggled in vain. They may have been impacted by poverty, illness, or war, but all of them wanted the world to hear their voices, and the author of this book, Malala Yousafzai, was one of them. Malala was born to a normal family in the Swat Valley of Pakistan. When frequent terrorist activity broke out in Pakistan, and an anti-government organization, the Taliban, controlled their small village in the Swat Valley, she refused to be silent. Instead, she stood up to her oppressors and fought for the right to an education. She was regarded as the terrorist organization's enemy, a label that put her life in jeopardy. She was shot by a terrorist at the age of 15. After miraculously surviving, she became the youngest person to ever win the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17. I Am Malala, the autobiographical account of these experiences, was on the New York Times best-seller list for over a year. In the book, she reveals a terrorist organization's evil deeds and darkest facets, giving an account of her extraordinary struggle to secure women's right to education. Time magazine commented, “In trying to silence this Pakistani schoolgirl, the Taliban amplified her voice. She is now a symbol of the struggle for women's rights all over the world.” Malala mentions in her book that there are 57 million children in the world who have not been able to attend elementary school, and Pakistan is one of the countries where this problem is most serious. In 2014, the World Bank released a report that showed there were 7 million people in Pakistan who were deprived of education, and two thirds of those people were women. Most of the people who have lost out on schooling don't have basic arithmetic, reading, or other language skills. A UNESCO survey found that the main barriers that stand between children and education

Malala Yousafzai's activist work championing the educational rights of girls led to her being shot by a Taliban gunman in 2012, when she was just 15 – but she refused to be silenced. She came to the Southbank Centre to launch her memoir I Am Malala on Sunday 20 October 2013, appearing in conversation with former Southbank Centre Artistic Director Jude Kelly. The following year, Yousafzai became the youngest ever Nobel laureate. In our recording of that talk, hear Yousafzai speak about sibling rivalry, her love for the landscape of her home in Pakistan's Swat Valley, and, of course, her belief in the power of education. 'We need to change the ideology. We need to tell people what the real power is. You are not powerful if you have a gun, because through guns you can only kill. You are powerful when you have a book, when you have a pen, because through pens you can save lives. And that's the change that we want to bring in our society.'

The decorated war correspondent Christina Lamb (Farewell Kabul, I Am Malala) has written a harrowing history of what war does to women. Our Bodies, Their Battlefield is her attempt to tell the true story of the injustices down to women in wartime. And shamefully, rape and sexual violence have become commonplace in many modern conflicts as a weapon of terror and humiliation, and as a way of carrying out ethnic cleansing.

Para mi, la respuesta a un club de Toby no es un club de Lulú.¿Qué hacer? ¿Cómo debo comportarme? Estamos ahora redefiniendo nuestros roles y actitudes todos los días pero ese no es el problema de hoy, el problema es que un "No sé" se use para abogar por el status quo y estamos en un momento en el que o nos rendimos o trabajamos por el cambio. El tema del feminismo es algo sobre el que seguimos aprendiendo ambos géneros... en éste capitulo narramos Paulina y yo sobre nuestro descubrir cómo reclamar, aclarar porqué nos pueden mal entender, ajustar nuestras propias actitudes y apoyarnos mutuamente.Referencias citadas:Feminist fight club - https://www.feministfightclub.com/Podcast - stuff mom never told you - https://www.stuffmomnevertoldyou.com/podcasts/you-dont-have-to-be-a-cool-girl.htmDocumental Basta de Fiu Fiu - https://artificesdelcambio.wordpress.com/2016/08/17/basta-de-fiu-fiu/I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai - https://www.amazon.com/Am-Malala-Stood-Education-Taliban/dp/0316322407Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown - https://www.amazon.com/Braving-Wilderness-Quest-Belonging-Courage/dp/0812995848Gloria Steinem- https://www.amazon.com/My-Life-Road-Gloria-Steinem/dp/0345408160The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir - https://www.amazon.com/Second-Sex-Simone-Beauvoir/dp/030727778XUN women - http://interactive.unwomen.org/multimedia/infographic/violenceagainstwomen/en/index.htmlhttp://www.answers.com/Q/Compare_and_contrast_radical_feminism_and_liberal_feminismDehumanization - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-web-violence/201806/what-is-dehumanization-anyway
Malala Yousafzai is the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, an advocate for comprehensive women's education around the world, and the author of the brilliant memoir I Am Malala. In her new book, We Are Displaced, she gathers the stories of refugee women displaced by conflict, genocide, and loss. We spoke to Malala Yousafzai about the new book, her life at Oxford, and how she maintains her optimism in dark times.
There are a few things that are tough to talk about with our kids. One of the toughest, I think, is talking about the violent things that happen in the world... My guest today on the podcast is Dr. Monica Holliday Sherman. Monica is a psychotherapist in private practice in Chicago, and she completed her doctorate in clinical psychology at The Adler School of Professional Psychology, with a concentration in childhood and adolescence. She is a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, and she regularly facilitates parenting classes in the Chicago community. You can find her on Psychology Today here. She is also my friend, and someone I trust to speak to this topic from a very thoughtful, experienced place... As tough as this conversation is, it is important for parents to be talking to their kids about the state of the world. AND, as a community of parents, it is equally as important to get support from each other about how to best support our kids. My hope is that this show does just that. Resources mentioned in the interview: Video of father reassuring his young son that France is their home.Purple Wagon - "A site for people interested in parents and children, and their explorations and discussions around war, terrorism and peacemaking." Loads of resources for parents here.Helping Children Feel Safe in an Unsafe World by Eileen Kennedy-Moore, PhD Other resources: Talking With Children About Disaster also by Eileen Kennedy-Moore, PhDTalking with Children About Tragic News Stories by Ariadne Brill of Positive Parenting ConnectionTerrorism and children:Tough Conversations that Matter by Marilyn Price-Mitchell, PhD or Roots of ActionExplaining Terror to Kids is a NY Times article that covers a French newspaper for kids and how they are engaging in real conversations with kids about the attacks And more suggestions from Monica: Books are my go-to when I'm wanting to extend any of these "big" topics into ongoing conversations with my kids. Here are a few to read WITH your kids, relevant to what's going on in the world today: Finding heroes amidst terrorism. I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai (there is also a Young Reader's edition) Multicultural competency. The Cow of No Color: Riddle Stories and Justice Tales from around the World, Nina Jaffee Explaining refugees. Sometimes it helps to look to history for examples -- one of the most written about examples of children fleeing war zones is the Operation Pied Piper of 1939, when children were evacuated from London during WWII. The beloved Paddington character is even based upon these events. --The Sky Is Falling, Kit Pearson --Visitors from London, Kitty Barne (out of print) --Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe and Bedknobs and Broomsticks are both storylines based on children having to evacuate. --If your kids are American Girl fans, the book Happy Birthday, Molly! incorporates a story of a British refugee coming to live with the family after being traumatized by living through bombing raids.
