I don't know if you'll be able to hear it in my voice in this week's episode, but this interview with Marjuan Canady really did make my heart happy.  I love the work that Marjuan is doing at Canady Foundation for the Arts, an organization that she founded to connect professional artists to youth of color through arts education, community, live theater, mentorship, and professional development. In all things offered through the Foundation, Marjuan aims to positively impact these youth as they develop into adulthood. It's truly work that matters. Marjuan herself brings an extensive resume to the leadership role that she's playing. She is an award-winning Caribbean-American producer, director, writer, performer, entrepreneur, and educator. Her work spans theater, film, tv, children's media and literature and has been seen at The John F. Kennedy Center, Sesame Street, The Smithsonian, Harlem Stage, The Lincoln Center, the Atlas Performing Arts Center, and the Miami Book Fair. She is the CEO/ Author of the children's media brand, Callaloo Kids in which she penned four children's books while adapting these stories on to international stages and into digital media. Her resume and list of accomplishments simply goes on and on and on… but her legacy will surely be in the impact that she's having in the lives of these kids and there's nothing, to me, more admirable than that.I invited Marjuan here to talk about building relationships with sponsorships, something that she has ample experience doing. It's a CAREpoint that every organization needs to thoughtfully consider, so as you listen to this interview with Marjuan, I encourage you to be thinking about the sponsors that YOUR organization could potentially reach out to and how you might create win-win connections between them and the members you serve.Connect with Marjuan:https://www.canadyfoundationarts.org/Download Free ABC's of Cultural Literacy Guide: https://www.canadyfoundationarts.org/subscribe-abcs-cultural-literacy****ABOUT YOUR HOSTYes, there is a “real” Joy in The Joy of Membership.Founder & CEO Joy Duling has been working with leaders of associations, trade groups and nonprofits since 2005.She has also walked the same journey, serving for nearly 10 years as the Executive Director of a membership-based nonprofit which she helped launch from scratch and led to annual revenues of more than $1M exclusively from membership contributions.Joy has been widely recognized as a speaker, an online educator and a trusted advisor, twice winning the “Unsung Hero Award” from the National Association of Women Business Owners' Central Illinois Chapter.

There are so many ways for children to learn, but too often, conventional education in America confines students to specific eurocentric writing, reading, and arithmetic methodologies that have proven to be largely ineffective for quite some time now, especially when zooming in on educational experiences of Black and brown children in America.   In this episode, we're speaking with the founder of the Canady Foundation for The Arts, Marjuan Canady. She is an award-winning Caribbean-American artist, entrepreneur, educator, and literacy advocate.   Marjuan carries us through her personal journey as a storyteller and performer from her childhood, as a native Washingtonian, all the way to the present day.    We discuss the importance of culturally sound literacy for children of color, and how her series of children's books called “Callaloo Kids” contributes to the dire need for more of it.   Marjuan drops boatloads of wisdom on African American theatre history, the importance of creative arts programs in schools, the grand effect that reading to children has on their overall development as influential members of society, and how the creative arts can play a key role in helping Black and brown children discover who they are and act on it with authenticity and freedom, no matter what career path they choose in the future.   Marjuan has fifteen years of arts education experience, instructing youth from pre-school to college levels. Her original work has been seen at The John F. Kennedy Center, Sesame Street, The Smithsonian, and the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute, to name a few.   So if you've been wondering: How to teach your child to read How to get a child to read when they refuse Why is cultural literacy important How to start a drama club or bring theatre to your child's school Or how to stimulate creativity in children ... Then you're going to LOVE this episode because it answers all of those questions and so many more.   If you want to learn more about the Canady Foundation for The Arts visit: www.canadyfoundationarts.org   Instagram: @canadyfoundationarts   Where to access the FREE resources that Marjuan mentions in this episode:   CFA Literacy Guide: https://tinyurl.com/cfaliteracyguide Artsee Blog: https://www.canadyfoundationarts.org/cfa-blog   If you enjoyed this episode and want to support the podcast, you can!
