Sara Mraish-Demeter is an artist, educator, mother of three, and founder/CEO of Art Resource Collaborative for Kids (ARCK), a nonprofit delivering creative programs with social justice themes in Boston Public Schools since 2012. Born in Jordan to Palestinian refugee parents, she came to the United States at age 15 and Boston was where she first experienced real support and opportunity. In Boston, Mraish-Demeter quickly learned that none of her schooling transferred from Jordan, so she had to go back to school and get her GED. It was through this incredibly low point in her life that put her in an environment to realize that the lack of arts in school prohibited kids from expressing herself. What first seemed like a nightmare, led to her calling. She has now made it her life's mission to promote cross-cultural inclusion and understanding among Boston's children. She is passionate about using art as a vehicle to reimagine education and unlock each child's full potential. With ARCK, she has forged many partnerships with schools, businesses, institutions, and artists to bring youth voices to the wider community through projects such as “I Am, We Are,” a collaborative public art mural, and “Walls that Speak,” a showcase of immigrant students' stories. Internationally, during the summers of 2013-14, she led art workshops for Syrian refugee children in Jordan. Mraish-Demeter was named a 2016 EXTRAOrdinary Woman of Boston by Mayor Walsh's Office of Women's Advancement and selected for the Power Launch inaugural Social Change Fellows cohort. She is an active member of the Beacon Hill Circle for Charity, which supports Boston children and women, and a former board member at the Center for Arabic Culture. She holds a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in French and completed the Nonprofit Management and Leadership program at Boston University. In this episode, Mraish-Demeter dives into her story, inspiration for founding ARCK, the many lessons she's learned across her wide range of experiences throughout her life, and so much more.

Good morning, thanks for starting your Tuesday with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’re down a few people this morning, but we shall carry on and get this Tuesday started in our usual way. Sunset tonight will be at 7PM, the first time this year it crosses the 7 o’clock threshold - great for regular folks, not so great for nocturnal creatures like ourselves. After approval by the Senate, Mayor Walsh is on his way to DC to become labor secretary for the Biden administration. And a little trolling by Dodgers fans is taking place outside of Fenway Park. Thanks for waking up with us as always, and thanks for supporting GBH during our Spring Pledge Drive.

Be sure to tune in a couple weeks from now for a special episode covering the Boston City Charter, including a look at this year's special election debacle after Mayor Walsh left his post to join the Biden administration, leaving it open before his term ends. This week, the Massachusetts vaccine rollout continues to receive criticism from various groups. Teachers pushed back on the Baker administration's decision to bump teachers back in the vaccine queue. Meanwhile, people trying to register newly eligible adults 75 and older for a vaccine appointment are reporting long wait times, difficulty navigating the website, and not enough vaccination location options. -- Boston Globe Senior Opinion writer Kimberly Atkins stops by to break down what she expects to see from the Massachusetts delegation under the new Biden administration. She anticipates seeing representatives and senators from the Bay State "being the forward face of a lot of policy and politics in the year ahead." She discusses the possibility of filibuster elimination, but says, ultimately, "What most people in Massachusetts and beyond are concerned about is, can Congress get stuff done? They don't need to eliminate the filibuster to do their jobs.”

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh delivered his final State of the City address Tuesday night. He has been nominated as President-Elect Joe Biden's Labor Secretary. WBZ NewsRadio's Carl Stevens reports.

We close out Tuesday’s show by opening lines, talking with listeners about whether an inauguration ceremony could be held safely in light of last week’s attack on the Capitol building.
In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, discusses new Labor Secretary nominee, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh. With the Democratic sweep of the Georgia runoff elections, and his election victory now certified by Congress, President-elect Joe Biden named Mayor Walsh as his nominee for Secretary of Labor. The next Labor Secretary may have an outsized role, especially early in a Biden-Harris Administration, with challenging issues like an the COVID-19 pandemic, high unemployment rates, a recession, a stagnant federal minimum wage, and morale erosion at the Department dominating his to-do list.
The Cleveland Browns head coach has COVID and many are upset with the interim coaches, Mike Priefer, past comments. Mayor Walsh can't stop hurting restaurants, so he's out there making up things.
