Alim Braxton, a convicted murderer who admits his guilt, has been incarcerated in North Carolina prison for more than thirty years, spending seven years in solitary confinement and many more on death row. He was once hopeless, but after his conversion to Islam many years ago, he began working for redemption by advocating for prison reform and the exoneration of innocent inmates. Braxton is also a rapper, and just released his first album, along with a book, Rap and Redemption on Death Row, co-written with UNC Chapel Hill musicologist Mark Katz. On this special episode, Commonweal's Claudia Avila Cosnahan speaks with both Braxton and Katz about Braxton's spiritual and artistic journey.

In this episode of the True Love Knots, we have Evan Marc Katz, a dating coach based in Los Angeles. He coaches successful women on dating and relationships. He started his career writing one of the first books about online dating in the early 2000s. Today, Evan and Maria discussed the unique challenges that strong, successful women face in dating. They emphasized the importance of personal growth, self-awareness, and a step-by-step approach to dating and relationships. Tune in to learn more! Standout Quotes: "Good relationships are fundamentally easy. And they require effort, like a garden you need to keep watering.” "You can't have a relationship if you don't have chemistry. No chemistry no sex is a nonstarter for a long-term relationship. The problem is the beginning, it overrides everything." "My job is to provide some modeling and then mirror this behavior back to people. I try to be a good, solid man in the lives of women who don't have much experience with good men." "If anything, I want fewer marriages and better marriages. I don't want people to get divorced. While dating, I want to ensure that people can identify this as a future divorce." "No one has to change who they are to find love. They need to fix their broken man picker." “Everybody deserves love, but they need to love themselves first.”[Maria Romano] Key Takeaways: Focus on how potential partners treat you over time, not just initial chemistry and infatuation. Pay attention to red flags. Gain life experience through dating different people before rushing into an engagement or marriage. Take time to learn about yourself. Identify what you want in a long-term partner and healthy relationship rather than settling for less. Work to attract quality matches. Consider coaching or therapy if you feel stuck in a cycle of unhealthy dating patterns. Help is available to improve your relationship skills. Make self-care and personal growth ongoing priorities rather than blocks to finding love. Committed partnerships require two whole people.

He wrote all eight of President Clinton's White House Correspondents' Dinner speeches. I saw Mark's wit up close a long time ago...at summer camp in the early 1970's. He made me laugh then.

Nobody outside of the Kremlin—and maybe inside the Kremlin, too—knows exactly what happened over the last weekend. We do know that Yevgeny Prigozhin led something that looked like a rebellion against Vladimir Putin's government. Columns of troops and tanks turned toward the motherland and elements of the Wagner Group made it inside of 200 miles from Moscow. What did Prigozhin really want? And what happened to end the crisis? And is the crisis really over?Joining us today is Mark Katz of George Mason University.

U.S.-Russia Conflict: Post Biden-Putin Summit with Dr. Andrei Korobkov, Professor, Political Science and International Relations, Middle Tennessee State University and Dr. Mark Katz, Professor, Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University With Host LCDR Patrick Ryan, USN (Ret), Founding President, Tennessee World Affairs Council July 13, 2021 @ 7 pm What's Ahead in the U.S.-Russia Relationship After the Biden-Putin Summit When United States President Joe Biden and Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin met in Geneva on June 16th there was an icy cast on prospects for positive results. Yet, Biden said he did what he came to do. That seemed to have been to put Putin on notice concerning: cyber-attacks on American systems; human rights and suppression of Russian opposition; provocative military moves against neighbors like Ukraine; and observance of international norms of behavior. Going into the summit, the U.S. and Russia were deeply at odds over these and other sources of conflict. Beyond the leaders' press conferences and officials' talk show appearances there's much more to dissect and understand on what the Washington-Moscow relationship is going to look like. To better understand this important foreign policy challenge for the United States, the Tennessee World Affairs Council is convening a Global Dialogue Webinar on the topic, “U.S.-Russia Conflict: Post Biden-Putin Summit,” featuring Dr. Andrei Korobkov and Dr. Mark Katz on Tuesday, July 13, 2021 at 7pm CT. Dr. Andrei Korobkov Dr. Korobkov is Professor and Director of Russian Studies in the Department of Political Science and International Relations, Middle Tennessee State University. He focuses his scholarship on post-Soviet Russia and Eastern Europe. Dr. Katz is a Professor in the Schor School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. He has lectured and written extensively on Moscow's foreign policy. Korobkov and Katz will drill down into the summit outcomes and discuss the path ahead for the conflict-ridden relationship. And they will welcome you into the conversation. The Global Dialogue on U.S.-Russia relations will be moderated by LCDR Patrick Ryan, USN(Ret), founding President of the Tennessee World Affairs Council and a former intelligence officer. Dr. Mark Katz The TNWAC Global Dialogue is free and open to the public. Registration is available at the TNWAC.org web site and at the link here The Tennessee World Affairs Council is a nonprofit, nonpartisan educational association that promotes international awareness, understanding and connections to enhance the region's global stature and to prepare Tennesseans to thrive in our increasingly complex and connected world.

In April 2014, a cohort of twenty-five hip hop artists assembled in Washington, D.C. for the first orientation meeting of a new cultural diplomacy program sponsored by the United States State Department. Next Level brings hip hop practitioners from the United States to other countries where they collaborate with local artists in workshops and other events in short residencies. Mark Katz, a hip hop scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, proposed the program and served as its first director. Build: The Power of Hip Hop Diplomacy in a Divided World (Oxford University Press, 2019) is Katz's response to the first five years of this project. Cultural diplomacy has been part of the State Department's outreach efforts since the 1940s, but hip hop was only included in the program when Toni Blackman became a cultural specialist in 2001. In his book, Katz takes on the hard questions prompted by the legacy of American imperialism abroad and racism at home that informs hip hop as a global art form and makes a Next Level residency a complex interaction between people that have something important in common, but also much that could divide them. He uses the insights he has gleaned from over thirty residencies around the world as he considers the sometimes conflicting agendas between artists and diplomats that can complicate cultural diplomacy. While defending the value of people-to-people exchanges as a way to bring about what he calls conflict transformation, Katz takes a hard look at what is beneficial as well as difficult about these types interactions. Mark Katz is Professor of Music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the founding director of Next Level. His work centers on hip hop and the transformative effect of technology on music. In 2016 he was awarded the Dent Medal. Build is his fourth book. Kristen M. Turner, Ph.D. is a lecturer at North Carolina State University in the music department. Her work centers on American musical culture at the turn of the twentieth century and has been published in several journals and essay collections. Learn more about your ad choices.

In April 2014, a cohort of twenty-five hip hop artists assembled in Washington, D.C. for the first orientation meeting of a new cultural diplomacy program sponsored by the United States State Department. Next Level brings hip hop practitioners from the United States to other countries where they collaborate with local artists in workshops and other events in short residencies. Mark Katz, a hip hop scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, proposed the program and served as its first director. Build: The Power of Hip Hop Diplomacy in a Divided World (Oxford University Press, 2019) is Katz’s response to the first five years of this project. Cultural diplomacy has been part of the State Department’s outreach efforts since the 1940s, but hip hop was only included in the program when Toni Blackman became a cultural specialist in 2001. In his book, Katz takes on the hard questions prompted by the legacy of American imperialism abroad and racism at home that informs hip hop as a global art form and makes a Next Level residency a complex interaction between people that have something important in common, but also much that could divide them. He uses the insights he has gleaned from over thirty residencies around the world as he considers the sometimes conflicting agendas between artists and diplomats that can complicate cultural diplomacy. While defending the value of people-to-people exchanges as a way to bring about what he calls conflict transformation, Katz takes a hard look at what is beneficial as well as difficult about these types interactions.
