Meillä Suomessa rikoslain säännös uskonrauhan rikkomisesta kieltää Koraanin polttamisen. Onko lainkohta tarpeeton, ja pitääkö uskonrauhaa kokonaisuudessaan muutenkaan enää edes suojella lailla? Mikä on pyhyyden suoja? Ja mitä islam itse sanoo Koraanin pyhyydestä? Tutkijatohtori Tuomas Äystö tutki väitöskirjassaan vuosina 1999–2019 uskonrauhan rikkomisesta annettuja tuomioita. Hänen mukaansa säännös on epämääräinen etenkin pyhän määrittelyssä. Helsingin yliopiston rikosoikeuden professorin Kimmo Nuotion mukaan koraanin polttamisen kieltämisen lainkohta on ongelmallinen kriminalisointiperiaatteiden ja sananvapauden näkökulmasta. YK:n ihmisoikeuskomitea on useasti vaatinut Suomea poistamaan uskonrauhan rikkomisen lakipykälän, koska se rajoittaa sananvapautta. Keskustelemassa ovat tutkijatohtori Tuomas Äystö, Helsingin yliopiston rikosoikeuden professori Kimmo Nuotio ja Helsingin yliopiston islamilaisen teologian yliopistonlehtori Ilkka Lindstedt. Lähetyksen toimittaa Pauliina Grym.

If your back has been hurting and you haven't been able to find relief, or you have chronic recurrent arthritic pain, it may be time to explore new options. On this episode of Back Talk Doc, Dr. Sanjiv Lakhia hosts a solo episode to reframe how patients should be thinking about osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. He proposes that patients move away from thinking of these conditions as the inevitable result of wear and tear, and instead look at them through the lens of metabolic dysfunction. Using a framework focusing on food and supplementation options, Dr. Lakhia discusses the connection between what we put in our bodies and the pain that we feel. Two of the biggest culprits for inflammation in the North American diet are gluten and dairy. Studies have shown that removing these from your diet can reduce back pain. Dr. Lakhia discusses the benefits of adding collagen, EGCG, melatonin, and a botanical nutrient combination that uses cannabidiol and a fatty acid known as palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). Each supplement is backed by research and has shown promise for treating back pain. “I think those are some really exciting options to consider beyond the typical thought process of just vitamin D, turmeric, and fish oil,” says Dr. Lakhia. For those interested in learning more, check out the 14 Day Challenge that is available on Dr. Lakhia's website.

 Anu Rask Saarna Hyvän toivon kappelissa 20.11.2022 Tuomiosunnuntai (Kristuksen kuninkuuden sunnuntai) Evankeliumista Matteuksen mukaan, luvusta 25 Jeesus sanoi opetuslapsille: ”Kun Ihmisen Poika tulee kirkkaudessaan kaikkien enkeliensä kanssa, hän istuutuu kirkkautensa valtaistuimelle. Kaikki kansat kootaan hänen eteensä, ja hän erottaa ihmiset toisistaan, niin kuin paimen erottaa lampaat vuohista. Hän asettaa lampaat oikealle ja vuohet vasemmalle puolelleen. Sitten kuningas sanoo oikealla puolellaan oleville: 'Tulkaa tänne, te Isäni siunaamat. Te saatte nyt periä valtakunnan, joka on ollut valmiina teitä varten maailman luomisesta asti. Minun oli nälkä, ja te annoitte minulle ruokaa. Minun oli jano, ja te annoitte minulle juotavaa. Minä olin koditon, ja te otitte minut luoksenne. Minä olin alasti, ja te vaatetitte minut. Minä olin sairas, ja te kävitte minua katsomassa. Minä olin vankilassa, ja te tulitte minun luokseni.' Silloin vanhurskaat vastaavat hänelle: 'Herra, milloin me näimme sinut nälissäsi ja annoimme sinulle ruokaa, tai janoissasi ja annoimme sinulle juotavaa? Milloin me näimme sinut kodittomana ja otimme sinut luoksemme, tai alasti ja vaatetimme sinut? Milloin me näimme sinut sairaana tai vankilassa ja kävimme sinun luonasi?' Kuningas vastaa heille: 'Totisesti: kaiken, minkä te olette tehneet yhdelle näistä vähäisimmistä veljistäni, sen te olette tehneet minulle.' Sitten hän sanoo vasemmalla puolellaan oleville: 'Menkää pois minun luotani, te kirotut, ikuiseen tuleen, joka on varattu Saatanalle ja hänen enkeleilleen. Minun oli nälkä, mutta te ette antaneet minulle ruokaa. Minun oli jano, mutta te ette antaneet minulle juotavaa. Minä olin koditon, mutta te ette ottaneet minua luoksenne. Minä olin alasti, mutta te ette vaatettaneet minua. Minä olin sairas ja vankilassa, mutta te ette käyneet minua katsomassa.' Silloin nämäkin kysyvät: 'Herra, milloin me näimme sinut nälissäsi tai janoissasi, kodittomana tai alasti, tai sairaana tai vankilassa, emmekä auttaneet sinua?' Silloin hän vastaa heille: 'Totisesti: kaiken, minkä te olette jättäneet tekemättä yhdelle näistä vähäisimmistä, sen te olette jättäneet tekemättä minulle.' Ja niin he lähtevät, toiset iankaikkiseen rangaistukseen, mutta vanhurskaat iankaikkiseen elämään.” * * * Kaverini osti kirjamessuilta pienen lehtisen, jossa on 1800-luvulla eläneen pappi Johannes Kronstadtilaisen neuvoja kuukauden jokaiselle päivälle. Olemme viettäneet marraskuuta aloittamalla aamut Johanneksen ajatuksilla. Kahdeksantena päivänä johannes kirjoittaa: “Älä anna itsesi nukkua pitkään: pitkä uni veltostuttaa sielun ja ruumiin, se tekee kylmäksi Jumalaa kohtaan ja synnyttää laiskuutta ja välinpitämättömyyttä rukoukseen.” Tämä vei omat ajatukseni viime viikon teemoihin, valvomisen sunnuntaihin. “Valvokaa siis, sillä te ette tiedä päivää ettekä hetkeä” jolloin juhlat siis alkavat. Ja tänään on viime viikosta sitten edetty kirkkovuoden viimeiseen sunnuntaihin. Vanha loppuu, uusi alkaa, joulu tulee. Nyt eletään hyvin tiheää aikaa kirkkovuodessa. Kirkkovuoden viimeinen sunnuntai. Tuomiosunnuntai. Kuulostaa uhkaavalta ja jotenkin vanhanaikaiselta, hämmentävältä. Hämmentävä on myös tuo teksti jonka luin, ja pelottava. Yhdet lähtevät iankaikkiseen elämään, toiset ikuiseen rangaistukseen. * * * Nyt ollaan kuitenkin ihan ytimessä, elämän ja kuoleman kysymysten äärellä. Otetaan elämä vakavasti. Tää on uskonnonfilosofi Sami Pihlströmin erään kirjan nimi: Ota elämä vakavasti – negatiivisen ajattelijan opas. Mua tämä kirja ja sen ajatukset ovat kiehtoneet pitkään. Tässähän luodaan tämmöinen vastakkainasettelu kaikkien positiivisen ajattelun ja selfhelppi -oppaiden kanssa, ja sitoudutaan negatiiviseen ajatteluun. Mutta se tarkoittaa Pihlströmillä vain sitä, että otetaan vakavat asiat vakavasti. Filosofi ajattelee, että hyvyyttä voi ymmärtää tutkimalla pahuutta, vapautta ja vastuuta voi ymmärtää tutkimalla syyllisyyttä ja elämää voi ymmärtää tutkimalla kuolemaa. Lähestytään mekin näitä vaikeita asioita siis filosofisesti. Kuin Mikko Mallikas, joka tutustuu maailmaan ja ihmettelee. Oletko sinä siellä, Mikko, isä huusi äsken. Juuri sitä Mikko pohtii. Olenko minä täällä? Kenen ilmaa hengitän tässä? Mikko on jälleen pähkäilemässä. Kun henkeä vedän, muiden ilmaa saan, mutta ulos puhallan omaani vaan. Leviääkö Mikkoa maailmaan ja mitä omenanhaju aikaansaa? Olenko edelleen Veturitiellä, kun aamulla sylkäisin maahan siellä? Entä sitten mieliala? Sekin on Mikkoa iso pala. Eilen olin aika hurja, Mikko tunnustaa. Tulos oli aika kurja, yhtä mustelmaa. * * * Kirkkovuoden lopun keskeinen käsite on syyllisyys. Mihin kaikkeen olen syyllinen ja millä tavoin? Miten minut tullaan tuomitsemaan? Syyllisyyden voi jakaa neljään erilaiseen muotoon: Rikosoikeudellinen syyllisyys on melko yksiselitteistä. Lakia on rikottu. Poliittinen syyllisyys liittyy johtajien ja hallitsijoiden toimintaan. Moraalinen syyllisyys on sitä, että jokainen tekoni on altistettu moraaliselle arvioinnille, olipa se juridisesti tai poliittisesti arvioituna miten viaton tahansa. Esimerkiksi kerjäläisen ohi käveleminen ei ole laitonta, mutta se voi olla moraalisesti tuomittavaa. Ja lopuksi, metafyysinen syyllisyys on kaikkein perustavinta. Se on sitä, että jokainen ihminen on syyllinen kaikkien puolesta, Jumalan ja ihmiskunnan edessä, ja minä olen syyllisempi kuin kukaan muu. Voin olla syyllinen pelkästään olemalla olemassa. Tai olemalla paikalla, sivustakatsojana. Niin kuin Mikko Mallikkaankin teot – ne vaikuttavat aina myös luomakuntaan ja toisiin ihmisiin… “Aika jännää. Tämä on taikaa. Olen monessa paikassa yhtä aikaa. Ja yhä enemmän aina vaan minua leviää maailmaan: omenassa, piirakassa, syljessä ja mustelmassa.” …ja tää tekee kaikesta monimutkaista. Jakoa vuohiin ja lampaisiin ei piirretä ihmisten välille. Jakoviiva hyvän ja pahan välillä sijaitsee jokaisen meistä sisällä. Ja kun näitä jakoviivoja nyt mietitään, voidaan miettiä myös sitä, miksi joku meistä ylipäätään on “yksi vähäisimmistä veljistä” ja toinen on se, jonka tulee omasta hyvinvoinnistaan käsin auttaa heikompaa? Metafyysisen syyllisyyden nojalla olemme kaikki syyllisiä tähän asetelmaan jo lähtökohtaisesti. Ja tällaisen metafyysisen syyllisyyden käsittelyn paikkana on oikeuslaitoksen tai omantunnon sijasta yksin Jumala. * * * Aina ei selfhelppi riitä, tai se että asenne on kohdillaan. Maailma on täynnä kärsimystä, epäoikeudenmukaisuutta ja kuolemaa, eikä tsemppi auta. Kärsivien huuto kohoaa kohti Jumalaa ja vaatii meitä vastuuseen viattomasta kärsimyksestä aina ja kaikkialla. Mutta kuten viime sunnuntaina kuulimme, meidät on kutsuttu juhliin. Häihin. Vielä on aikaa olla valppaana ja täydentää öljyvarastot. Voimme tehdä matkaa iloiten, sillä olemme matkalla kohti suurta juhlaa. Ei ole syytä pelätä. Meidät vuohet ja lampaat tulee tuomitsemaan Hyvä Paimen. Hän, joka sanoo itsestään: Minä olen hyvä paimen. Minä tunnen lampaani ja ne tuntevat minut, niin kuin Isä tuntee minut ja minä Isän. Minä panen henkeni alttiiksi lampaiden puolesta. Minulla on myös muita lampaita, sellaisia, jotka eivät ole tästä tarhasta, ja niitäkin minun tulee paimentaa. Ne kuulevat minun ääneni, ja niin on oleva yksi lauma ja yksi paimen ( Joh.10:14-16).

Saamelaiskäräjälaista puhjennut ilmiriita on jumiuttanut hallituksen työtä. Lain valmisteltua on johtanut oikeusministeri, RKP:n puheenjohtaja Anna-Maja Henriksson, joka vieraili keskiviikkona Poliitiikkaradiossa. Henriksson sanoo yllättyneensä hallituskumppani keskustan toiminnasta, kun se on vastustanut lakia. Hän sanoo, että keskustalle annettu mahdollisuus äänestää punaista on poikkeuksellinen. Pääministeri Sanna Marinin mukaan keskustan kanssa oli sovittu, että saamelaisten oikeuksiin liittyvä laki voi edetä riitaisena, ilman keskustan tukea. Keskustan puheenjohtaja, ministeri Saarikko kuitenkin syytti Marinia pelisääntöjen rikkomisesta. Kumpi on oikeassa, Marin vai Saarikko? Vetikö keskusta maton Henrikssonin alta, kun se jätti saamelaiskäräjälain hallituksessa pöydälle ja jarrutti sen etenemistä? Miten Henriksson vastaa lain arvostelijoille? Toimittajana on Antti Pilke. Suora lähetys.

Black Feminist Rants lives up to its name in this episode with host, LaKia Williams, discussing (or ranting, depending on how you view it) her recent experiences starting therapy, finding an identity outside of the reproductive justice movement/non-profit work/organizing, and the need for Repro organizations to pay employees a living wage. LaKia discusses her recent conversations in therapy surrounding feeling like her entire identity is centered around the work she does, something that she believes is common for young Black women, who are taught that they need to succeed at any costs. LaKia discusses working through unlearning this and the pains that comes with it. – If you are interested in submitting to be a BFR Storyteller for the upcoming Black Youth Sexuality Season, visit this link for more information.

February is the month for celebrating Black History in the USA. In this podcast episode Tracy continues with her virtual visit across 'the Pond' with her very first interview. The interview was recorded on New Year's Day on the 'Facing Purpose Radio Show' in the US hosted by Elder Lakia Barnett. In this the second part of this interview, Tracy shares what inspired her to create the multi-media platform that is ‘Stories to be tolled' reveals the one thing that the stories couldn't do without and what is the ‘ultimate' learning journey for all her users.

At times, small parts of the recording are omitted and so the full transcript is provided below: LB: Hello, hello, hello! We are back from our commercial break with the lovely Ms Tracy Williams all the way from the UK. So Ms Tracy, I was reading in your bio that you have multi-media platforms explain to me about how that works how you kinda started to expand from just being an author to doing other things that you do. TDW: Well, I think the multi-media learning platform is really the educationalist side of me. The stories are the author element of who I am. You know, I spent about 18 months writing the stories, so I was just in a creative writing flow for about 18 months and you know, to be really honest once I had finished the stories Lakia, I had both a sense of elation and achievement but I also had a sense of deflation as well. Because the British Empire has such a lot of moving parts to it, I didn't want the stories to sit in a vacuum. Because once I'd published them it would be ‘Well, who are the stories for?' Who are your target audience? Why have you written them? Ok, I've written them because I've been inspired to write them but there's got to be a proof of concept about it.  When I was writing the stories which must have been back in 2017, 2018 there wasn't really that much of a heightened awareness to learn more about the subject of the British Empire, it was very much a taboo subject (to be really honest, if I'm really honest about it). It was an ‘uncomfortable truth' so to speak that nobody really wanted to talk about or look really deeply at. I knew that it was important enough to have a platform and that it should be taught in our schools. It should be read to children at story time or at bed time at home. I just felt that, the stories themselves, although they were good, it couldn't be left in a vacuum there needed to be some context to it so that any learner from 9-14 years and upwards would be able to read and understand but within a context and so that's why I decided to create a learning journey to go with the stories. So, at the back of the stories there are various questions that the learner can then go upon, they can start carrying out their own learning journey, their own research after they've read the story. There's a chronology, so a list of key dates that come up in the actual story and then there's an activity that I call ‘build your vocabulary' because vocabulary is such a difficult thing to learn and to teach. I decided to pick out phrases and words within the stories that children and young people would be able to go off and find out more about and understand how to build their vocabulary and be able to apply that new vocabulary to new learning. I then decided to go a step further and create the learning platform which is initially where everything lives relating to ‘Stories to be tolled' The stories can be purchased there (I'm actually on the website now) and we've got other things like mini-documentaries, which are just like mini films that I've created and learning journeys that continue, are an expansion or a continuation of each of the stories. If you went on the website now and clicked on the ‘learning journey' menu you will see the titles of each of the four books that are out now as well as four new titles that I'm going to be planning to launch this year. If you clicked on to ‘Caribbean Wind' there would come up an alternative chronology, suggestions for biographies, historical sources, You tube videos and I'm developing an art gallery of alternative history. So, there's something for all types of learner and it just feeds into my overall vision for ‘Stories to be tolled' that we can take something that in a lot of ways is a difficult and emotive subject to explore and to learn about and we can deliver it, we can approach it in a way that is both thoughtful, engaging, imaginative, interesting and just to break down some of the taboos about the subject area because I feel when you're ignorant about a subject area, the more you are ignorant the more fearful you are. The more prejudiced you are and the more ignorance there is around the topic and so that is what the multi-media platform is there to do, to help the ordinary person, help the ordinary learner engage and hopefully something on it will spark their interest to continue or develop their own learning journey about whatever aspect of the topic they want to find out about so that was the rationale behind the learning journey and it's growing all the time. It's something that I'm really proud of, its' quite unique. LB: So yes that is really, really interesting you have your background as an educator, a teacher and you're really incorporating these things into everything that you do and it leaves no room for confusion when people see you and they hear about you, they know what you stand for. So when people are getting these books Tracy what do you want the readers to take from this? When they're reading your books what do you want then to learn and take from reading this collection of books? TDW: I think the one thing that I want them to learn about is to understand that the world is multi-faceted, the world is interconnected and it's not interconnected because we have all this technology and we have all these social media platforms. The world is interconnected because this one phenomenon that took place over a period of 400 years is really the key to understanding how the world is today. It's the one thing that can provide that link to a lot of international relationships between countries, the way that countries define their foreign policies with each other. The way that various Diasporas have developed and emerged out of displacement of indigenous people from their home lands. I know that these are difficult subjects to look at but I feel that these are some of the main things that readers need to understand and to learn about as they're reading the stories. I get so many readers saying to me' Tracy I never knew about this or I never knew about that.' ‘I never knew that the Empire Windrush used to be a German Nazi warship that was used in WW2. I never knew anything about the early period of European discovery and how Britain came about its first encounter of the Caribbean.' ‘I didn't know it was a failed colonial exercise carried out by Scotland that caused the unification of Scotland and England.'  Many of us seem to think that it was when Elizabeth 1st died and James 6th of Scotland became James 1st of England and united the two countries but stories really do dispel a lot of assertions, a lot of assumptions that ordinary people like myself and like you make about history we are taught at school and then you realise that a lot of it is not necessarily fact, it's just coming from a certain perspective and I thought ‘right, that's my strapline.' That is actually how I got the strapline ‘history is a matter of fact…or perspective?' because there are so many perspectives in history. We only hear about the perspective of the conqueror, of the victor, you never hear of the perspective of those who have gone past and those who have died and are not here to tell their tale.  So the stories is that balance of perspective and just lets the reader know ‘look, regardless of what you've been taught in school, regardless of your formal education, quite often it's what we go out and learn for ourselves that helps us have a much more balanced view of the world we live in and a greater tolerance and a greater understanding of why things are the way they are today.' Why there are issues and seemingly unsolved problems in certain parts of the world and more of an empathy for indigenous populations that are going through a tumultuous time because we can then use these stories to really un-pick and understand what the roots of these issues are. So that's what I want readers to take away. (Copyright Tracy D Williams 2022)

February is the month for celebrating Black History in the USA. In this podcast episode Tracy makes a virtual visit across 'the Pond' and shares the first part of her very first interview. The interview was recorded on New Years Day on the 'Facing Purpose Radio Show' in the US hosted by Elder Lakia Barnett. In this episode Tracy shares what was the turning point for her in her educational career, the cause of self-doubt when she debuted as a podcaster and what is important to her as she balances her role as a school leader with the many 'hats' that she has to wear.

I am excited first of all to be in the land of the living I have had one heck of a week, you guys! I think the last show I was fine and then the next time I pump the round, I got sick you guys! My whole house but Praise be to God I am sitting here well and I'm back to doing what I love to do and also what God tells me to do. So I just wanna say ‘happy new year' to all of you guys and praying that you're healthy, well and praying for your healing if you are not feeling well in your body on this beautiful Saturday night. This is January 1st CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! I can't because 2022 is here. So I'm excited about our guest on tonight. All the way form the UK. How can you all say we touching down in the UK like that's super dobe but anyhow, I am excited about her, she is an author, a podcaster, she does so many different things. We like to call this a woman with many, many hats so without further ado, let's go ahead and introduce Tracy Williams! Welcome to Facing Purpose! TDW: Hi everyone! Hi Lakia, I am so grateful to be on the show! Thank you for giving me this opportunity, tonight and you know, it's the first night of the Year for us so I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity for me to kick off 2022 with an interview, so thanks for having me. LB: Yes! and I'm so, listen I love your accent Tracy, your accent is beautiful. I've never been to the UK. I've heard about the UK but I've never been there. Would like to go one day if I can get the nerve to sit on a plane that long ok. Everybody who knows me knows I'm not a friend of planes at all but we're gonna break that this year but I would be excited to visit that place one day, one day I have to go. So, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself to everybody Tracy? TDW: I'm Tracy Williams, I write under the pen name of Tracy DW because, as you said I'm a woman wearing many hats. I not only write stories for children and I do podcasting but I'm also a singer songwriter as well and writing songs was pretty much how I got into writing from a very young age. But having said that, I've always been an avid reader, I've always had a passion for history and it is from those two things that my stories or my story series called ‘Stories to be tolled' is actually born from.  I have been in education, been working in the British education system for many years now and I currently work as a Deputy Head teacher in a school in East London which is the equivalent of a Vice Principle, I think, in the States. After having many years of teaching black history month in October (because we have black history month in October over in the UK), I just became a bit despondent  with the way that black history was being conveyed and was being, or not being taught in schools. There was a particular focus in black history month on American history rather than British history so I thought ‘ you know, I'm gonna do something about this.' I've always had a passion for the British Empire and Britain's colonial past and it has been something that I feel has been a missing link within our education system, particularly in our British education system and I just got the idea for writing some stories that I hoped would inspire children and would inspire people to learn about the topic in a more imaginative, though provoking and engaging way.  So, as I began to do my research I did a timeline and structured my stories chapters and story titles around that and. One day in January, actually several year ago back in 2017 I sat down at my desk and began to write the stories as I began to write I just felt ‘WOW' this is a major piece of work and it really does deserve a platform. Now at the time I hadn't thought u of the name ‘stories to be tolled' it was just a set of stories but as I began to write it just started from there and I felt it deserved something more. That's how I built the website around it and placed min documentaries and additional learning journeys and then last, but not least the podcast series came along and it just opened up a whole new world it gave a different dimension to the stories.  I use it to compliment the stories in terms of the research that didn't go into the stories. I script them and then turn them into a podcast series and I just invite listeners to come along with me on my learning journey. So, the podcasts provide a more dynamic slant a more dynamic dimension to the stories so here I am today talking to you I have four stories out at the moment which are available on the website ‘Caribbean wind,' Caribbean Rush,' ‘Nights at the Round  Table- the Berlin Conference 1884  and ‘Gone with the Wind?' which I'm having a special focus right now in January. Not a celebration but like a commemoration of the famous ‘Wind of Change' speech  by Harold Macmillan that was given in Accra Ghana in January in  1960, so that a little bit about me. LB: Well, that was an amazing intro, letting people know just who you are and what amazing things that you do. So tell me about your podcast. Tell me a little bit about how that kind of started and what is it about and what is it gearing towards? TDW: Well, it was something that I had never considered before. I think lock down last year, or rather in 2020 I think that was a catalyst for many people to develop some kind of ambition or aspiration. Whether it be writing a book or doing something creative because obviously we were all at home for such a long time. I never considered doing a podcast. If someone had told me two years ago ‘you know Tracy you're gonna be doing a podcast in 2020, you're gonna begin doing that' I would have never believed them but I had so much research that hadn't made it in to the stories so I thought ‘well, how can I repurpose all of this valuable content? It didn't fit into the stories. what can I do with it?' So I thought I'll create some scripts and I'll set up a podcast series and continue my learning journey and continue to share my learning journey through that. Also it provides a human element it provides a face, it provides a voice it provides a speaking platform to the stories and my format for each episode is quite similar. I refer to the stories in the content of my episodes. Some of the episodes are not linked to the stories. Some of the episodes are linked to various things that are trending. So instance when Barbados became a republic in October last year I decided, ‘right, I think that's a very apt thing to do a podcast focus.' To be honest, I hadn't learnt that much about Barbados because it doesn't really crop up anywhere in my stories so the podcasts really work to ‘fill the gap' as it were and to bridge the gap between what the stories leave out and what is either currently going on in the world relating to the post-colonial era or what's happened in the past. So that's where and how my podcasts fit in to the whole ‘Stories to be tolled' movement. LB: Well. I love how different your podcasts sound, that you make them link to the book that you're putting out and what you're speaking to and what you believe. I think that is like super cool to have a podcast like that. So, let me ask this question; has it always been easy and I know that's like ‘really Lakia, you ask me has it been easy?' I think that a lot of people don't understand the story behind the voice that you hear and behind the faces that you see. They didn't just arrive, you know, things happen along the way. So you now, do you wanna elaborate a little bit on a time when you can just remember you kinda' felt like you were just like ‘ look I don't know if I should continue doing this' have you ever felt like that? TDW: Oh yes I have had moments pf self-doubt. I wouldn't be human if I didn't have moments of self-doubt. I mean, one of the challenges I have isn't so much doing the podcasts but it's fitting it in to everything else. I'm a school leader, I'm very, very busy and even within my role as a school leader I juggle hats, several hats within that. I think it's finding a balance that works for me as an individual which I am constantly striving to do to just find the time to put the work in. As you do podcasting the more and more you do it the key is to be regular, consistent and purposeful and continue to plan your workflow so you're always several steps ahead. So for instance, I currently have ideas for the next eight podcasts which are gonna take me up to Easter this year, so you're constantly planning topics that you want to look at. I have friends and family and acquaintances who come to me and ask me to do special focuses; ‘ Oh Tracy would you consider doing ‘this' as a focus or would you consider doing ‘that' as a focus for a podcast episode.' You know, I take on board feedback and ideas that come my way. You know, I'm very open, it does have a tight format but I'm very fluid and I'm very flexible to anything that is trending and to anything that people ask me to find out more about and make a special focus of. But yes, there have been times when I've thought ‘oh my God what am I doing? What am I doing?' Sometime we get what we call ‘imposter syndrome.'  ‘There's lots of people who are far more learned and far more knowledgeable about this subject than you why are you doing this? Who is it for? Who is going to listen?' Then I realise, when I get feedback from people I feel really encouraged, I feel really, really motivated, I feel really purposeful because at the end of the day I'm an educationalist, Oh I'm a black woman, I have a voice and I can bring my perspective as an individual as well as an educationalist to that and some people just can't do that.  Also there's the authenticity, just being myself and just looking at things and giving my own point of view and just making it engaging and making it understandable and informative because that's what a lot of people tell me. They tell me ‘Oh we love your podcasts, they're really informative' they're of a high standard, they really do connect the dots and present a more global perspective about the world that we live in today and we can make connections about the past with what is currently going on today. I think people have really come to appreciate the podcasts series because it's helped them to do the same, it's helped them to make those connections . It's for people who are just like me. You know, you make podcasts for people who are just like you. Who just want to learn more about a particular topic and don't want to come under any particular stress about it. Although in a good way I take the stress out of the learning because I put the work in to make certain topics more digestible, more concise and more cohesive. So yes, it is hard at times but when I get the feedback, when I look at the numbers on the STATS, I just know, it's all worth it… And that's what helps me to keep going!! LB: Absolutely, absolutely! I think everyone needs that encouragement because some people, we see things, we have a goal set in mind but sometimes we might not always set off, you know the way that we want but I love that you use the word ‘consistency.' There's consistency beside everything we do, behind everything that we do. So we're gonna take a quick, quick break Ms Tracy and when we come back, we're gonna dive in. I wanna know more about these books because you have a collection of books but also I wanna know more about your multi-media platform. We'll talk about that right after this break.

From Lakia's own journey in media as a black woman, the advice she would give to the next generation of black females coming up in media, to all the work the BGHC is doing with the NHL to make hockey not only more inclusive for fans of the game, but more affordable to communities of color that want to play, join us for a conversation you won't want to miss!Today's episode is presented by Real Sleep.

Join Lakia and me as we discuss free coordination software and the best place to find volunteers.   I am the co-founder and Director of Finance for Positive Transitioning.  I am a CPA registered in the State of Georgia.  My position with Positive Transitioning allows me to wear many hats.  I currently work with social media, on the app and website, entrepreneurship, and wherever else I need to fit in. Positive Transitioning is my passion and I enjoy helping others help themselves.   Positive Transitioning Inc. is a non–profit organization that provides individuals reentering the community after incarceration. Positive Transitioning Inc. is a 24-hour Resource/Listening Line that services all 50 states. The Resource/Listening line is staffed by life coaches and provides individuals with the immediate support and resources that may be needed during reentry. We will also have Crisis Clinicians available for individuals that may be calling in crisis due to the stressors related to reentry. Positive Transitioning Inc. also provides individuals life coaches that will assist them in every step of the reentry process. There is a different program that is associated with each step of the reentry process. These programs consist of housing, education, employment, vocational training, obtaining government benefits, veteran's assistance, medical management, sponsorship, financial stability, family reintegration, and legal assistance.  Currently, Positive Transitioning Inc. is entirely web-based as we are hoping that this makes it easily accessible for anyone to access from anywhere. Although we are hoping to keep our organization web-based, we have team members working in 2 locations, Columbus Ohio and Atlanta GA, which will eventually become our physical locations. As we are a non–profit and depend on donations, grants, fundraising, and volunteers, until Positive Transitioning Inc. becomes more established and is able to raise donations, our team will be working on a volunteer basis.  Also, with this in mind, any days, or hours that you are available to work with us are so much appreciated. This would not be possible unless we all work together to build a Positive Transition.   Lakia S. Goodman | Director of Finance Positive Transitioning, Inc.
