Décryptage

Depuis l'effondrement d'un auvent à la gare de Novi Sad qui a fait 15 morts en novembre dernier, la Serbie est en pleine ébullition. Déjà 4 mois de manifestations contre la corruption du régime, loin de faiblir, le mouvement de contestation lancé par les étudiants s'est répandu dans tout le pays et dans toutes les couches de la société, et la semaine passée c'est une véritable marée humaine, plus de 300 000 personnes qui ont ainsi défilé dans le rues de Belgrade pour réclamer la mise en place d'un Etat de droit dans le pays, sans doute la plus grande manifestation dans l'histoire de la Serbie. Une colère immense contre le régime du président Alexander Vucic, qui de son côté n'entend rien céder –rejetant une révolution orchestrée, dit-il de l'extérieur. Qui emportera ce bras de fer ? Le mouvement social peut-il renverser le régime ? Et quelles conséquences également pour le processus, en cours- d'adhésion de la Serbie à l'Union européenne ? Avec : - François Lafond, ancien Conseiller spécial de la France en Serbie, auteur de la note, « La Serbie et les défis à l'Occident », pour l'Institut Montaigne  - Ulrich Bounat, analyste géopolitique, spécialiste de l'Europe centrale et de l'Est, chercheur associé chez Eurocreative, auteur de la note « La Serbie, la révolte oubliée », pour le site Eurocreative

Le lancement du site est un succès en 2008 puis l'opération à la craie pour buzzer sur MeilleursAgents est un carton. Jordan Sanial tague à la craie le prix du mètre carré de plusieurs biens immobiliers parisiens dont Europe 1. L'effet d'annonce est extraordinaire. Puis vient le moment des difficultés. Depuis 2011, Sébastien et ses trois associés, Pascal Boulanger, Julien Cheyssial et Jordan Sanial surmontent les crises. Crise immobilière de 2008 puis celle de 2011. Suite à la découverte de faux mandats dans leur propre équipe, la levée de fonds prévue début 2015 échoue. En 2016, ils finissent par lever 7 millions d'euros. Ils sont sauvés de justesse grâce à Piton Capital, Aven et BPI. Alors que Sébastien cherche à faire une troisième levée de fonds, il est contacté par Axel Springer qui souhaite les racheter.

More than 9,500 Indigenous people were reported missing nationwide in 2021, according to the FBI's National Crime Information Center. The plight of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls led to a national inquiry in Canada and official acknowledgement of “race-based genocide” against Indigenous people there.As an act of remembrance and healing, Massachusetts-based Indigenous artist and domestic violence survivor Nayana LaFond created “Portraits in Red,” an ongoing series of more than 100 portraits she has painted of missing and murdered Indigenous people and their loved ones. A red handprint is usually painted on the mouth of each black and white portrait, a symbol that represents the silencing of these Indigenous victims of violence. Forty of those portraits are currently on display at the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center in Newport, including one of Anthony Tolentino, a 17 year-old member of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians who was murdered in Salem in 2021. OregonArts Watch previously wrote about the origins of the “Portraits in Red: Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Painting Project” and the exhibit in Newport, which ends on May 4. LaFond and Anthony's mother, Cecilia Tolentino, join us to talk about “Portraits in Red” and the impact they hope the project will have.

  One of the things I really feel a lot of us are really struggling with these past few years is the fact that we do not take the necessary time to really - and I mean REALLY - get to know and appreciate ourselves. ‘Self-Love' has really become a buzzword as of late and in the grand scheme of things, as is often the case, I realize that a lot of people simply toss it around cause it sounds nice. That's unfortunate. If people truly realized how much power lies in harnessing the beauties as well as imperfections that make up the sum of their wonderful being, they would probably spend a bit more time catering to that.  I say this wholeheartedly because I am witnessing a lot of people I care about sluggishly dragging their feet in the sand when it comes to their journey simply because they're being admittedly weighed down by other people's opinions of them. I call Foul. Fortunately, today's guest is a person whom I've long admired for her deep-rooted sense of self-worth, undeniable personal truth and unapologetic commitment to show up to the world as her own authentic self. Clara Luce Lafond takes no prisoners on that front. Whether you follow her on social media or have the chance to share a conversation with her off-line, there's no questioning her strong conviction that we have duty to embrace our greatness on all facets, what she calls the Light & the Dark, if we are to live our lives to the its fullest. And if such a conviction should for some reason occasionally rub others' sensibilities the wrong way - well,...tough shit. This conversation is not your typical exchange. Clara and I dive deep into certain concepts of spirituality, energy, and personal truth that might leave some of you scratching your heads a bit.  But as always, I invite to keep an open mind, both of heart and empathy, as some of the topics we discuss are worth their weight in perspective. Also, I'd like to ask for your kind indulgence as today's recording suffered some technical difficulties which resulted in some choppy audio in certain parts. But, as always, out of respect for the guest's generous time and availability, I chose to keep the editing to a minimum in order to preserve as much of Clara's powerful message as possible.  Be sure to reach out and connect with Clara directly via her Instagram page. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Connect with us // Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/awakentheawesome Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/atapodcast Telegram : https://t.me/atapodcast Email : awakentheawesome@gmail.com #StayAwesome #ATATribe

I am so delighted to introduce you to Stepha Lafond on this month's episode of The Becoming Podcast. Stepha is a life coach and mentor dedicated to helping moms navigate the space between who they are and who they are becoming. You can imagine why I just had to have Stepha on the show, right? Stepha started her practice out of a desire to put moms at the center of the conversation, with an emphasis shifting the narrative on modern motherhood to one that allows space for mamas to grow, heal and take care of themselves at all stages of their journey. Her work on Matrescence- the transition into motherhood- invites her clients and spectators alike, to explore and hold space for this common but rarely discussed phase of development, whilst taking a critical look at the unjust systems and power structures impacting motherhood and creating necessary shifts towards liberation. Stepha and I had a totally delightful, high-energy conversation, full of laughs even as we tackled some really difficult issues facing mothers today.  Stepha began by sharing her experience of the transition to motherhood, which was marked by the support of her grandmother for her first child, and then the loss of her grandmother right before her second child was born.  She shares how experiencing that kind of deep support in the early days of her matrescence made her want to offer the same to other mothers, and catalyzed her to start her coaching practice.  From there, we talk about "the things no one talks about" when it comes to becoming a mother, and some of the systemic, cultural and political influences on mothers – especially BIPOC mothers - today.  Our conversation moves into the prevalence of birth trauma, and how challenging it can be to traverse identity shift while also navigating a healing journey.  Stepha shares how mothers can "embrace the slower pace" and live in your season as a mother.  Finally, we talk about taking radical responsibility and advocating for your needs, and how we are all both members of the village we mothers so desperately need, and recipients of its care.
