Send us a Text Message.As human beings, we are all more than just one thing. We each hold more than one identity, and our cultural and ethnic backgrounds play huge parts in how we experience the world. Today In the Den, guest host Sara LaWall dives into the intersection of Latinx and Queer identities with two special guests, Gabe Morales & Alex Carmelo.Special Guest: Alex CarmeloAlex was born in Galveston, TX, and raised in the city of South Houston. He was brought up by his grandparents. Their strong dedication and discipline made him the person he is today. Alex was the first person in his family to graduate from high school and attend college. His life journey has included some tough times, but he continues to fight not only for himself but the community he serves. As an openly gay Latino/Hispanic, he is truly passionate about helping the community. His first leadership position was as the executive liaison for Houston Millennials. He currently sits on the board of directors of the National Hispanic Professional Organization, Houston Dia Los Muertos, and the Houston Livestock show. Alex truly believes that as he empowers himself, he can help others become leaders. Motto: “Don't talk the talk, walk the walk.”Special Guest: Gabriel MoralesGabriel is a 34 year old first-generation Houstonian. After years of yearning to study, practice, and work hands-on in the field of art, he was lucky enough to stumble upon a graphic design course at the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD), where he found his calling. Soon after, under the leadership of his graphic design professor/mentor, Gabriel joined the inaugural Graphic Design Research Initiative program at UHD, where he worked alongside his professor and a select group of fellow students to gain real-world experience in design projects with non-profit organizations. Gabriel was then invited to interview for a graphic design student position at the UHD Advancement & University Relations office, where he was offered a full-time position, after graduating with a BA in Fine Arts. Gabriel has been designing with UHD for eight years now and has since earned the title of Manager of Graphic Design. Outside of work, Gabriel does freelance design and spends his free time hanging out with his family, best friends/roommates, and his cat, watching movies, and singing along to musicals.

One of the most hotly contested issues of our time - the US-Mexico border - stretches more than 2,000 miles. It's protection is led by a thin-line of overworked and underfunded US Border Patrol agents. Vincent Vargas, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the US Army's 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, later served with the Border Patrol. His new book, BORDERLINE: Defending the Homefront, which publishes November 14, 2023, provides a thorough insiders look at just how dangerous defending the border is. Vargas, who was one of the stars of the FX TV series, Mayans, hits on some key issues about the border situation including: *Border Patrol has more agents of Latino/Hispanic heritage than any other race, debunking the myth that all BP agents are racist *DC law makers don't know the challenges on a day to day basis for BP agents nor do they have the boots-on-the-ground experience *The border is two issues simultaneously: immigration AND homeland security *Dealing with dangerous water rescues as well as violent drug traffickers and human trafficking coyotes *He has great empathy for those making the dangerous journey to try to get to America for a better life as his own grandmother came to the US as a young girl as an undocumented immigrant *He is straightforward about the BP mission - sympathy aside there is a job to do to protect the border and the security of America *He points out the overlooked US policy to assist in helping immigrants to become US citizens legally *Vargas notes that it is the US's job to educate and facilitate safe and legal entry for those wanting to come to America for a better life

People that hadn't ever been to Milwaukee had no clue what it was like. 12:33 - Just the fact that someone has a different perspective and can help you avoid certain pitfalls and look at the market in a different way, produce and launch products in a different way, that is an asset that comes with diversity and that is a real business reason to look at DEI.22:28 - I'm seeing hope and change in environments that would have been or that I would've thought would be cold and unwelcoming and exclusive. And it's changing right before my eyes. I'm not having that experience anymore, and there are many, many more people saying that they aren't having that experience either, and that gives me a lot of hope for the future of Milwaukee and our business community.

Latino identities exist beyond margaritas, taco Tuesdays, and mariachi bands. With over 21 countries and territories identifying as Latin American or Latino, and over 30 million individuals from these places living outside their country of origin and creating diasporas in many different parts of the world, Latino/Hispanic identities are important and here to stay. In an effort to highlight these complexities, we created the “Identities and Belonging” series, a collection of group discussions and individual stories from advocates, leaders, community members, and creatives who identify as Latino/Hispanic and live in Georgia. We hope this series allows you, our listeners, to expand your vision of what identity and belonging can mean for Latinos here in the United States. We hope you can listen to, learn from, and celebrate the incredible people that shared their experiences with us. Join us for weekly episodes every Friday starting September 22nd. Don't forget to follow us and to be notified when a new episode comes out. ***this series would not be complete without a special message on terminology. We acknowledge that people choose to use different terms to refer to their identity. Some prefer Hispanic, others prefer Latino, Latinx, or Latin/e. We hold space for all of these terms and respect the people who use them. We will primarily use Latino but may use them interchangeably throughout our content.

Cuba's revolutionary history dates back to the early 1950's when the seeds were first planted for the eventual armed overthrow of Fulgencio Batista's government by Fidel Castro and his revolutionaries on January 1, 1959. Against all odds and despite many attempts to remove him from power, Castro remained as Cuba's leader until 2008, after nearly 50 years as the nation's leader. Our guest on this episode of Your History Your Story is historian, university professor and award-winning author, Dr. Luis Martinez-Fernandez. Luis, who was born in Cuba, is a professor of history at the University of Central Florida and has an expertise in the areas of Latin America, the Caribbean and Latino - Hispanic politics, culture and society. Luis will be discussing his book, “Revolutionary Cuba: A History” and will take us through the tumultuous period in Cuban history that includes Castro's rise to power, his alignment with communism and the Soviet Union and events such as the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis which almost led to a nuclear world war in October 1962.

Latino parents, students say they face racism, discrimination at North Kitsap HighPeiyu LinKitsap SunNORTH KITSAP — More than 40 members of the Latino community gathered in the library of North Kitsap High School on Tuesday to tell high school administrators about instances of discrimination against Latino students.Participant after participant stood up and spoke, most in Spanish, offering testimonies that ranged from stories of racial bullying on school buses and on campus to not getting important school notices for parents printed in Spanish. One parent shared a story of her son being subjected to racial stereotypes, being told by a teacher he eats too many burritos.The meeting was organized by NK High Principal Megan Sawicki. Danielle Castillejo, a therapist, and her husband, Luis, parents of students at North Kitsap High School and Poulsbo Middle School, led most of the conversation and interpreted what Latino families shared from Spanish to English to the Sawicki. They also interpreted what Sawicki said from English to Spanish to the attendees. A Kitsap Public Health District community engagement specialist was at the meeting to help with the interpretation.Sawicki said she called the meeting after hearing from Castillejo and other Latino families that there was a need to better understand the experiences of Latino families and students in North Kitsap High School, and what the school can do to make them better."I may not have all the answers, but I'm hoping that we can — I can — start learning a little more from you about how things are going for you and for our kids," Sawicki told those at the meeting.Some parents said that some teachers do not respect Latino students and the Hispanic culture they belong to. Others said their students are being bullied on campus and on school buses, and when they reached out to the school to report it, their requests were ignored or not followed up on by school administrators. One parent said that a teacher told a student their performance was harmed because they had eaten too many burritos. One said students are not taught to be proud of their culture at school.Some said Latino students were not given assistance in applying for college or given information about scholarships. One shared that a student was discouraged to pursue his dream when the student told a teacher he wants to become an engineer. One claimed that Latino parents didn't get notices to attend school meetings and that none of the information provided by the school was in Spanish, creating a barrier for Latino parents who speak little English to understand what happens at school.The system needs to be changed, they said, and they urged the district to hold more meetings in the future.Melissa Ramirez, whose parents are immigrants, graduated from NKHS in June. She said she never saw any representation of her culture in her years growing up in North Kitsap and she felt she had to leave her culture to fit in at school."And the reason why I'm saying this in English is because the school system did rob me of a lot of my Spanish-speaking skills," Ramirez said at the meeting.Ramirez's parents are immigrants from Mexico and she was born and raised in Washington. Ramirez is now a freshman at Western Washington University studying business administration with a concentration in marketing, she said.Ramirez said her university has an ethnic student center that provides support for students of color, and she wishes she would have had that in North Kitsap.Julie Castillejo, Danielle Castillejo's daughter, an NK sophomore, said on Skyward, an online portal where North Kitsap High School communicates with students and parents, the system automatically put her race as "Chicano," which refers to Mexicans living in the U.S., and her main language as Spanish, instead of leaving the race and language parts blank for her to decide. Julie said she's three-quarters Mexican and one-quarter European."It was unfair for them to just assume my race and it wasn't the right thing to do," Julie Castillejo told Kitsap Sun.Charo De Sanchez, a Latino community leader and a parent who previously had a child in the district, told the Kitsap Sun she thinks teachers should be educated to respect the Latino Hispanic community, She said students learn from their behaviors.Danielle Castillejo said that more meetings are needed to discuss discrimination and racism against Latino students."Latino students are under-resourced, so we need to create more resources, more options," she told the Kitsap Sun. "The first thing we need to have is that the teachers are able to have some training on inclusivity."In a written statement sent to the Kitsap Sun following the meeting, the North Kitsap School District said that the district is "deeply saddened" by the examples shared and that it is committed to listening to students, parents and the community to address discrimination and racist behavior."While the stories we have heard in this meeting are hard to hear, we are grateful that our students and families feel safe in talking about these concerns with us; we realize that has not always been the case," the district said in the statement. "Students and families should feel welcome and have a sense of belonging in our schools. When there are barriers to this, it is on us to have the courageous conversations to make meaningful changes."The district said providing equitable access to educational opportunities for all students is in its strategic plan and that efforts to support staff development in diversity, inclusion and equity began in 2019 and continue."We have worked in partnership with many community members, our two sovereign nations, and families to improve how we serve all students. We have increased support resources at all schools in response to concerns and needs," the district said in the statement.The district said that all secondary schools have student voice groups with diverse representation that meet with the superintendent. Creating a safe, welcoming, inclusive school where all students and their families feel like they belong is the school district's top priority, it said. It encouraged students to report concerns immediately."As we are learning from our students we continue to work to improve systems, structures and their school experience," the statement said.Reach breaking news reporter Peiyu Lin at pei-yu.lin@kitsapsun.com or on Twitter @peiyulintw. Since late 2022, KAIRE has supported and come alongside the grassroots efforts of Latino/a/x students, families, and community of North Kitsap, amplifying their concerns and self-advocacy within North Kitsap School District (NKSD). These are broadly stated as equal access to education for English Language Learners and pursuit of a culture of belonging with teacher skills development in nondiscrimination. KAIRE and Latino/a/x community have articulated these issues and proposed specific solutions, directly communicated to NKSD in the FEB 22, 2023 "Seven Solutions" letter. For months, NKSD has failed to meaningfully engage with individual families or respond with a plan to implement the proposed solutions. KAIRE supports Latino/a/ students, families, and community in their demand that NKSD meet them on theirterms. The table must be set by community, not by the District. https://www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/2023/02/06/latino-parent-group-meeting-with-north-kitsap-schools-over-race-issues/69864128007/

Journalists, it's often said, write the first drafts of history because they are the first recorders and commentators of current events and social realities. And the last couple of years have been a meaty first draft. A global pandemic, a rise in authoritarianism, economic chaos, war in Europe, and now Artificial Intelligence that will write essays for you, and probably one day curate podcasts. Has the world gone upside? Will it right itself? Instead of searching fro the prolific crystal ball, Dr. Luis Martínez-Fernández suggests that we get the historians involved to understand how broader social processes connect these issues, and how crises have been handled in the past. Can the perspective of history seriously work to guide societies out of crisis and chaos? Tune in to find out. In When the World Turned Upside Down: Politics, Culture and the Unimaginable Events of 2019-2022, award-winning historian and nationally syndicated columnist Luis Martínez-Fernández adeptly examines current U.S. and worldwide events from the intersection of opinion journalism, chronicling, and historical writing. This rare combination of methods and approaches offers readers unique insights on how history sheds light on contemporary matters and how our present preoccupations shape the way we look at and understand the past. The book, thus, invites readers into a dialogue between past and present, and at times, the near future. Dr. Luis Martínez-Fernández is a historian, university professor, author, consultant, and public speaker, whose fields of expertise include Latin America, the Caribbean, education, and Latino/Hispanic politics, culture, and society. Born in Havana, Cuba and raised in Lima, Peru and San Juan, Puerto Rico, he holds B.A. and M.A. degrees in History from the University of Puerto Rico and a Ph.D. in History from Duke University. Dr. Martínez-Fernández has vast experience as consultant in the areas of education, diversity, transcultural communications, outreach, media, and publishing. A Pegasus Professor of History at the University of Central Florida since 2004, he is recognized as one of the most prolific and influential scholars in the field of Caribbean history.

I never knew there was a difference between the labels of Latino & Hispanic. I always considered them one in the same. Latin-x is a new term being thrown around too, and I think that all these labels cause a bit of confusion for most of the Latino/Hispanic culture. I went around the Houston area and asked Latino people four questions: 1) What is the difference between Latino & Hispanic 2) Have you ever heard of the term Latin-x 3) Does the Spanish Language oppress females in the Latin American culture? 4) Do Hispanics look down on people who don't speak Spanish?

00:05Welcome to Mosaic, your Novant Health podcast for diversity, inclusion and equity. You'll learn more about the mosaic of similarities and differences that make us stronger, and how health equity benefits us all. Piece by piece, we're telling the stories of the beautiful mosaic of Novant Health. 00:24Welcome, this is Becky Knight and I have the privilege of working with Novant Health BRGs. Business Resource Groups (or BRGs) play a critical role in our goal to embed diversity, inclusion and equity throughout the organization. BRG's are groups of team members gathered around a dimension of diversity. We currently have 14 groups, a few of which include pride for LGBT team members and allies, veterans, Latino/Hispanic and coexist our interfaith BRG. The newest addition to our big lineup is rebound, whose vision is to create an open and supportive environment to raise awareness of mental health and substance abuse diagnoses. We'll hear from the founder in just a moment. But first, I wanted to share some sobering statistics. Yes, our health care workers are heroes, for sure. But first and foremost, they're very human. Health care has always been a rewarding, but demanding calling and the recent past has showed us just how demanding it can be. While others waited out the pandemic at home our frontline workers faced it head on. From June to September 2020. Mental Health America surveyed health care workers to get a feel for their mental health and wellness. They have responses from over 1100 health care workers. And the statistics are pretty sobering. 93% of healthcare workers were experiencing stress 86% reported experiencing anxiety 77 reported frustration 76 reported exhaustion and burnout, and 75%. So they were overwhelmed. Clearly, our helpers need help. To find out more about this Business Resource Group and how it is supporting team members and the community. I have with me, Sarah Arthur. Sarah, can you share about your personal and professional background a bit. 02:30Thank you for having me. I act as the manager of community engagement here at New Hanover and previous to this job, I worked as a inpatient social worker, and a clinical social worker doing therapy with patients in the community. So I've always been really engaged and passionate about working with people that have a diagnosis of mental health or have struggled with substance use. I also have a connection with my family. Several members of my family have struggle with substance use disorder, alcoholism, opioid use disorder and bipolar disorder. So growing up as a child, you know, I truly remember several events that were pivotal to awaken me to this population and what my family was truly dealing with. One particular event my house almost caught on fire, because my cousin had taken too many opioids and was nodding off while smoking in our house. So I, you know, I struggled in the beginning as to whether I really wanted to work with people that has substance use disorder and pushed through that to find that I care about them so much, not only because they are part of my family, but because I can truly understand where they're coming from. 04:06How did those experiences inform your decision to try to start this group? 04:12So this BRG started because I feel that there was no voice for these employees within our system. I knew that we had patient family advisory councils for a lot of our different Institute's like our behavioral health hospital or Cancer Center. And also I knew about these BRG's that focus on different populations to give them a voice within our system and I just saw where this was truly missing. 04:48Was there anything surprising about the process of starting the BRG? 04:53It has taken quite a while to get people willing to join, especially leaders within our organization, because they didn't want to be treated differently for being a part of the group. But it's definitely taken off. And I've been amazed at how comfortable people feel at sharing their story and how supportive they feel about other employees that maybe have gone through an issue with employee health because of a certain medication they're on or they've been talked about by other employees because of some different behavior that they may be experiencing because of their mental health disorder. So I think that you know, the sky's the limit with this group. We named it rebound because truly those in recovery rebound higher. That's kind of our slogan for this group, just to give some hope for a lot of people, we have a lot of family members that have joined the group as well, and gotten support as they work to support their family and themselves. 06:10Thank you, Sarah, for persevering and for getting this rebound BRG off the ground, your tenacity, and your compassion is quite evident. So thank you for sharing that story with us. And I hope you'll join me to talk on the next episode about what the BRG is doing in the future, what your plans are and how those plans will impact both our team members and our community. Thank you so much. 07:34Thanks for listening to mosaic your podcast for diversity, inclusion and equity and Novant Health. Stay tuned for our next exciting episode.
Lupe Rodriguez joins us on this episode of The Face of Latina Professionals to talk about her own experience with and passion for culture and how she turned that into a career. Growing up in Berwyn, IL, Lupe talks about how she grew up immersed in a very Latino community. “Berwyn is an incredibly Latino/Hispanic area. That was really nice because I grew up with people who looked like me and had my same culture.” When she turned 14, her family relocated to Lockport, IL, a predominantly white community. It was a culture shock for her. Lupe shares how that's when she started to realize the dichotomy of her identity. She recognized that while her family was originally from Mexico, they'd been in the United States since 1908 and they had adopted very American values. “When I moved to Lockport, I realized, oh, like my family is actually more like these families, but I wasn't used to being surrounded by people like that. [In Berwyn] They're like, oh, but you're like a white Mexican. I never really understood what that meant until moving to Lockport. I wasn't accepted by the Latin Americans because I was too white per se, but I also didn't really fit in with the white students because I had never grown up in that environment.” Navigating a dual identity without feeling like you truly belong anywhere, Lupe learned a lot from her experiences. The biggest lesson for her? Never judging anyone by what they look like or where they're from. Throughout this journey as a young girl, she found a passion for culture and dreamed of one day flying to foreign countries and having foreign friends. Eventually Lupe went on to become a flight attendant and had the opportunity to move to Dubai where there were very few Americans. “Everyone's like, oh, well you don't look American. And I'm like, well, what does that mean? Everyone's like, oh, you're Latina and they would start speaking Spanish to me. They automatically assumed that I was either from Latin America or Spain and it was another really weird transition.” Tune in to hear more about Lupe's story, how she became a flight attendant and how traveling the world has adjusted her perception of her own culture on this episode of The Face of Latina Professionals Podcast.
This week on the man about town podcast the story starts in South Stockton with a young Latino boy who idolized his father a musician as in households where there is music being introduced you start picking up things here and there and in that home on hunter st. where you could hear any kind of noise from a gunshot to siren to who else knows in the '60s.. But it is there that one of Manteca's most beloved music teachers was imitating dad practicing and noticing he had the talent and feels for instruments to where he could pick them up and play them. I always say savant when I see those types, I have a friend like that. Just hear and play.. Moving all over the valley as a traveling music teacher in Tracy. Lathrop Manteca and landing at the home of the lancers for the next two decades teaching music. he was Director of activities/administration. This guest is “East union”.. and along with a couple of guests are the reason the lancers became the lancers and a certain amount of respect built up to the school by these folks. He now travels around with one of Stockton's oldest mariachi bands after retiring and RV'ing and traveling all around. Nowadays he's been married 60 years he's a grandpa to many and still a shining example for the community and I am sure he would want me to say or include him being Latino Hispanic whatever word you use. I still say, Mexican..A shining example of a young kid from the barrio who made good and has affected thousands of kids over numerous years by just using that horn and experience to make the lancer kids better all the way around.. He is one of the originating members of Los Elegantes a popular band who has had many reincarnations and to be quite honest, I don't have too many lancer friends. Or know a whole lot of em, But I consider him a pal, now and as you will see He is a treasure to the town and is in the EAST union hall of fame put there last week. He was already in the city of Manteca's hall of fame. so here comes Jose Barron. this week's guest On the man about town podcast that I call the Manteca Podcast Let's go..

“Y es así, que después del domingo doce de septiembre, ya no tendremos un servicio religioso a la una de la tarde en la Iglesia de Todos los Santos… Y... seguiremos soñando con un nuevo y emocionante futuro... y espero que seas parte de ese sueño. Soñaremos con una nueva oportunidad de reunirnos para el servicio religioso en español. Soñaremos con nuevos maneras para que los miembros latinos-hispanos de esta congregación reclamen el poder que es legítimamente suyo en el servicio religioso y en la vida de la iglesia. Soñaremos en grande y soñaremos juntos.” “And so, after Sunday, Sept. 12, we will no longer have a 1 pm service at All Saints Church… And … we will continue to dream of an exciting new future … and I hope you will be part of that dreaming.

The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified health disparities in the U.S., from high blood pressure in under-resourced communities to sharp declines in breast and cervical cancer screenings among Hispanic, American Indian, Black, and Asian Pacific Islander women through the CDC's National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program. The deeply-entrenched inequities have continued to persist over the last two decades, with Black and Latino/Hispanic people persistently reporting the highest rates of poor or fair health, a new Yale study shows. This hour on Where We Live, we look at cancer disparities among communities of color: Incidence and mortality rates, barriers to screening, and access to treatment. We also discuss how hospitals and nonprofits are reducing the gap, and enabling access to affordable, farm-grown food in high-risk communities below the federal poverty line.

It's National Hispanic Heritage Month, and we're marking the occasion by talking with members of the Nemours' Associate Resource Group, known as Adelante.

The group's name has particular meaning for this high-energy, forward thinking ARG. Carol Vassar, producer

Jazz Crabs is a band of crazy cool crustaceans that keep the pace with juicy Columbus, Idaho 7, Mosaic, and Citra. These hip hops emerge from the murky seas with solo-worthy notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and pine. But wait, there's more...We teamed up with the Ohio Hispanic Coalition and artist Ariel Peguero (@apegdesign) to bring you Las Pilas - a Mexican Dark Lager with Plantains. Inspired by the maduros served throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, this beer is brewed with Olotillo Mexican heirloom corn and swaps caramelized plantains in place of caramel malt, resulting in a slightly sweet yet crisp dark lager. Las Pilas is derived from the phrase “ponte las pilas” or "put on batteries" - a motivational saying referential to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Latino/Hispanic community. Proceeds from this beer proudly benefit the Ohio Hispanic Coalition.

I am honored today to be chatting with Father Daniel Rivera – an UNO Soul. He is the Vicar of St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church, Sacerdote Vicario de la Iglesia San Gabriel.Father Daniel is the epitome of community service and being a beacon of light in Loudoun County, VA. He is very humble about this and says that it is part of his faith and ministry, but he goes above and beyond his ministry. Father Daniel has been the Vicar of St. Gabriels' Church for 8.5 years. He didn't go to the seminary until he was 40 years old. He studied social work, divinity, and theology. He formerly was an engineer working in IT. Father Daniel puts his whole heart and soul into serving the people in our community that are most in need. He says that it takes a village to provide service for the community – he's an important fiber in the tapestry of our community. Thank you Father Daniel!The services are at 10 a.m. on Sundays at Belmont Ridge Middle School and at 3 p.m. in Spanish at St. James Episcopal Church in Leesburg, VA. https://www.saintgabriels.net/⚕️ Listen to Father Daniel talk about the importance of vaccines. “I protect myself. I protect my family. I protect you. We protect one another.” (3:01)
00:05Welcome to Mosaic, your Novant Health podcast for diversity, inclusion and equity. You'll learn more about the mosaic of similarities and differences that make us stronger, and how health equity benefits us all. Piece by piece, we're telling the stories of the beautiful mosaic of Novant Health. 00:24Welcome, this is Becky Knight and I have the privilege of working with Novant Health BRGs. Business Resource Groups (or BRGs) play a critical role in our goal to embed diversity, inclusion and equity throughout the organization. BRG's are groups of team members gathered around a dimension of diversity. We currently have 14 groups, a few of which include pride for LGBT team members and allies, veterans, Latino/Hispanic and coexist our interfaith BRG. The newest addition to our big lineup is rebound, whose vision is to create an open and supportive environment to raise awareness of mental health and substance abuse diagnoses. We'll hear from the founder in just a moment. But first, I wanted to share some sobering statistics. Yes, our health care workers are heroes, for sure. But first and foremost, they're very human. Health care has always been a rewarding, but demanding calling and the recent past has showed us just how demanding it can be. While others waited out the pandemic at home our frontline workers faced it head on. From June to September 2020. Mental Health America surveyed health care workers to get a feel for their mental health and wellness. They have responses from over 1100 health care workers. And the statistics are pretty sobering. 93% of healthcare workers were experiencing stress 86% reported experiencing anxiety 77 reported frustration 76 reported exhaustion and burnout, and 75%. So they were overwhelmed. Clearly, our helpers need help. To find out more about this Business Resource Group and how it is supporting team members and the community. I have with me, Sarah Arthur. Sarah, can you share about your personal and professional background a bit. 02:30Thank you for having me. I act as the manager of community engagement here at New Hanover and previous to this job, I worked as a inpatient social worker, and a clinical social worker doing therapy with patients in the community. So I've always been really engaged and passionate about working with people that have a diagnosis of mental health or have struggled with substance use. I also have a connection with my family. Several members of my family have struggle with substance use disorder, alcoholism, opioid use disorder and bipolar disorder. So growing up as a child, you know, I truly remember several events that were pivotal to awaken me to this population and what my family was truly dealing with. One particular event my house almost caught on fire, because my cousin had taken too many opioids and was nodding off while smoking in our house. So I, you know, I struggled in the beginning as to whether I really wanted to work with people that has substance use disorder and pushed through that to find that I care about them so much, not only because they are part of my family, but because I can truly understand where they're coming from. 04:06How did those experiences inform your decision to try to start this group? 04:12So this BRG started because I feel that there was no voice for these employees within our system. I knew that we had patient family advisory councils for a lot of our different Institute's like our behavioral health hospital or Cancer Center. And also I knew about these BRG's that focus on different populations to give them a voice within our system and I just saw where this was truly missing. 04:48Was there anything surprising about the process of starting the BRG? 04:53It has taken quite a while to get people willing to join, especially leaders within our organization, because they didn't want to be treated differently for being a part of the group. But it's definitely taken off. And I've been amazed at how comfortable people feel at sharing their story and how supportive they feel about other employees that maybe have gone through an issue with employee health because of a certain medication they're on or they've been talked about by other employees because of some different behavior that they may be experiencing because of their mental health disorder. So I think that you know, the sky's the limit with this group. We named it rebound because truly those in recovery rebound higher. That's kind of our slogan for this group, just to give some hope for a lot of people, we have a lot of family members that have joined the group as well, and gotten support as they work to support their family and themselves. 06:10Thank you, Sarah, for persevering and for getting this rebound BRG off the ground, your tenacity, and your compassion is quite evident. So thank you for sharing that story with us. And I hope you'll join me to talk on the next episode about what the BRG is doing in the future, what your plans are and how those plans will impact both our team members and our community. Thank you so much. 07:34Thanks for listening to mosaic your podcast for diversity, inclusion and equity and Novant Health. Stay tuned for our next exciting episode.

This week we get the sequel to Episode 11: "Yay! We're All Victims Now!!". In-studio we have Jairo aka Jamal, aka Jerome, aka our friend David aka Ury, we have Emma gracing us with her insights for another week in a row, and Gaby returns to reveal her privilege level via her DNA ancestry test results. The guys play a few bonus tracks from the Pedo Jukebox, they share the joys of getting COVID tests, and Van shares some anecdotes about how dying his hair silver has been for him. Then Gabby and Van share their ancestry test results, turns out they're very privileged and have all sorts of caveman blood coursing through them. Sir Rollington also shares his results, revealing that he is far superior, with a whopping 15% African #melanatedkang. After the results the gang gets into Destination Unknown, where they talk picking cotton, guys with nice buttcheeks, Vans cat stories, the benefits of dietary man-splooge and they try to predict what will happen next in the anime clips Jairo brought in. Last but not least the news is the focus, with stories about canceled 9-year-olds, students getting suspended, Tik Tok, and Joe Biden's opinions about Latino/Hispanic people (totally not racist).

When we worship, we gather with others before God. We hear the Good News of Jesus Christ, give thanks, confess, and offer the brokenness of the world to God. So many of our worship experiences take place within a church building - it can be hard to imagine worship without candles and stained glass and pews - but there are many ways we can bring worship out into the wider world, knowing that God is out there, too. In this episode, Bishop Michael Curry and hosts Kyle and Sandy discuss worshiping on the Way of Love: Gathering in community weekly to thank, praise, and dwell with God. Bishop Curry reflects on how we can show God's love boldly in our communities while also being respectful of neighbors who believe differently. We also hear from Hugo Olaiz, associate editor of Latino-Hispanic resources for Forward Movement. Hugo tells us about a worship experience that by definition occurs beyond the church walls: Las Posadas. He explains his own practices of Las Posadas and reflects on the witness this tradition makes possible: witness to the importance of hospitality, of community, and of the story of the Holy Family. Next week on the podcast: Going into the Neighborhood to Listen Deeply Our theme and reflection music are by Ana Hernández. Jerusalem Greer writes our reflection guides. Chris Sikkema writes our shownotes and our website is by Kaleb Heitzmann. LINKS Watch Traveling the Way of Love: Worship, an exploration of the practice with the Rev.

I participated in the Nuevo Amanacer (New Dawn) conference a few weeks ago at the Kanuga Retreat Center near Hendersonville, NC. As the biannual meeting of the Latino/Hispanic ministries of the Episcopal Church, I had opportunities to practice my Spanish.Although many of the attendees are fluent in both English and Spanish, my Spanish is halting, but I greeted everyone with a hearty “encantada”.Although it can mean haunted or bewitched, it is the common response meaning, “pleased to meet you” and I remember the word as a cognate of “enchanted”.I attended the conference by myself so every session and workshop was an opportunity to meet someone new. Almost 400 people attended from all parts of the United States as well as Columbia, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Argentina, El Salvador, Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico and more. “Encantada, encantada, encantada, encantanda.”When I am at home, I have a tendency to hang around with people I know mostly through my work or church, so it was enriching to hear the variety of stories from all these new friends. Some were immigrants (including bishops) primarily from Central America. I inquired about where they were from, when they had come to America, and if they still had family in a foreign land. I listened as 2nd generation Americans told me of their challenges in keeping their children interested in church and a curious observation that their children preferred a bilingual service rather than a Spanish-only mass. Assimilating into American culture is still important as the families integrate in school, the workplace and church.I was “enchanted” meeting so many new friends. I was blessed by their spirit of recognizing the importance of God in their lives and their warmness in sharing their faith and their stories.¡Encantada! I want to always be curious to meet new people, to hear their stories, and to be enchanted with what God is doing in their life.Blessings, my friend,Agatha
