Melanie Miller knew she wanted to be a real estate professional when she was a kid. She watched Egypt Sherrod on TV every day.

Never Alone Act H.B. 236 - No one should die alone because of government mandates During the COVID shutdown, hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living centers forced the elderly, infirmed, and those hospitalized into isolation without the support of family, loved ones, or clergy. At the time of the COVID shutdown, the Ohio Christian Alliance received numerous reports of medical neglect and isolation of those who were in hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living centers due to the state government mandate (under the health emergency). The effects of the shutdown were much greater than was the spread of COVID-19 itself. We received heart-wrenching stories of individuals whose family members died in hospitals and nursing facilities without anyone present with them to hold their hand or to give them comfort. Rep. Melanie Miller of the 67th  House District and Rep. Beth Lear of the 61st House District are co-sponsors of H. B. 236, the Never Alone Act. In this broadcast we hear proponent testimony by Reps Miller and Lear and expert testimony from Dr. Malek on the need for this legislation.  Call your state representatives and urge them to support the Never Alone Act, H.B. 236.  Read the bill at this link

On our next episode, Steve and Melanie Miller will share with us the medical miracle that changed their lives, and why they have so much to be thankful for this holiday season. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

The 95th Academy Awards is upon us!

Other Best Picture nominees in addition to those three films: “The Banshees Of Inisherin,” “Women Talking,” “Triangle Of Sadness,” “The Fabelmans,” “All Quiet On The Western Front,” “Tár,” and “Elvis.” Other categories covered include Best Animated Feature, Best Documentary Feature, Best Supporting Actress, and more!

Melanie was born and raised in Antelope County, Nebraska. She lived on the East Coast for thirty years where she attended seminary, was ordained in the United Church of Christ and served churches in Maine, New York and Virginia. She returned home fall of 2015 and is raising cattle, preaching, writing, building community and her dream home. SEASON 2 EPISODE 22 Pastor and cattle producer Melanie Miller candidly shares her experiences of growing up in fundamental conservative religion, how it influenced her thinking and how she began to discover her voice and gain confidence in her knowledge, and expertise. She says the fundamental harmful message that women receive through religion is that Eve is the problem of everything. Listen to how she feels this myth has shaped religion, female experience, and has deeply shaped the fabric of our culture of misogyny and patriarchy. She shares how during seminary she began to deconstruct the beliefs that had been given to her as foundational and true in her youth and let go of the superiority that had been indoctrinated into her. She chose to live a path of authenticity and not hide the fact that she believes in the fundamentalist religious framework and that she believes that the old framework does enormous harm to women and men. She recognizes her role in uniting people together through finding common ground and expanding perspectives and mindsets.

Do you know your ideal customer?More than their age or their demographic, do you know their challenges and desires?Because once you know these things, and have a genuine care to help them, everything flows. I'm shaking things up a little today to share an episode from The Profit Lovers Podcast where I had the privilege of being the guest to chat with my good friend, Melanie Miller. We talked about how I create a warm feel to my brand and my thoughts behind attracting my ideal customer. Melanie and I talked about my focus when it comes to creating a beautiful customer experience and how I approach this in everything I do, from live events to online courses. We agreed on the importance of really caring about the people we serve, knowing their pain points, their hopes for the future and how understanding these things not only helps you serve them better but also filters into your marketing and messaging. We also get quite personal toward the end and talk about why I'm so optimistic about life and business. I hope you love this conversation and feel inspired to really hone in on your audience and what you hope for them to experience.

On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson explores the depth and breadth of California's cinema-centric offerings with three guests representing distinct aspects of the industry. First, Johnson connects with Ana Santiago, an assistant curator at the brand-new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, for a preview of what's in store for visitors to the long-awaited museum. Santiago says visitors can see famous film artifacts up close, like the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz and the famous Rosebud from Citizen Kane. They can even watch an old movie shot on rare nitrate film in a state-of-the-art theater. Next, Johnson talks to California Film Commissioner Colleen Bell, who offers insight into how the state became the center of the movie-verse for both filmmakers and cinephiles. (Hint: California's fabulous weather and longstanding reputation as a creative and innovative hotspot play a big role.) Finally, Johnson chats with TMZ Bus Tour guide Melanie Miller about some of the fun to be had tooling around town looking for A-listers and checking out celebrity hangouts. The two-hour tour covers highlights in Hollywood, West Hollywood, and Beverly Hills—and Miller shares a few great stories featuring popular celebs.

Dr. Melissa K. Miller, 2019 ICS Faculty Fellow and Associate Professor of Political Science at BGSU, discusses her research on women in politics. Dr. Miller shares her findings from her analysis of media coverage of the unprecedented number of women running for office during the 2018 election cycle. Dr. Miller explores how media coverage influences voter perception of mothers running for office. Transcript: Introduction: From Bowling Green State University and the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society. This is BG Ideas. Musical Intro: I'm going to show you this with a wonderful experiment. Jolie S.: To the BG Ideas podcast. A collaboration between the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society and the School of Media and Communication at Bowling Green State University. I'm Jolie Sheffer, an associate professor of English and American culture studies and the director of ICS. Today I'm joined by one of ICS' faculty fellows, Dr. Melissa K. Miller. She's an associate professor of political science and affiliated faculty in the department of women's gender and sexuality studies here at BGSU. Her current research is focused on women who are mothers who ran congressional campaigns in the 2018 midterm elections. This is the first extensive bi-partisan study of mother candidates and we're thrilled to be here to discuss her research. Thanks for joining me, Melissa. Melissa M.: Thanks for having me. Jolie S.: The 2018 midterm elections really put the spotlight on women running for political office. Can you talk to us about what initially drew you to focus on candidates who were also mothers? Melissa M.: I really have always been interested in the intersection of women, media, voters, campaigning. Gender and politics is a study of my research and I'm an expert on American politics. What happened? I go all the way back to 2008. A friend and colleague of mine, Dr. Jeff Peak, he's a presidency scholar. I'm a gender scholar within the political science department and we decided to do a collaborative project where we content coded press coverage of the presidential candidates back in 2008 and we thought what a great slew of candidates to look at. I of course was most interested in looking at how Hillary Clinton was covered by the press in her 2008 attempt to get the democratic nomination. Melissa M.: He was interested in all the candidates as a presidency scholar and so we did a press coverage study of Hillary Clinton and it was amazing to do. We published our results in the journal called Politics and Gender and there were some real gendered aspects of her coverage that really jumped out. In the midst of that campaign, from my perspective as a gender scholar, I was so pleased to be able to study Hillary Clinton's press coverage. We content coded 6,000 news articles about the democratic race specifically to look at her coverage and then come around August, John McCain, the Republican nominee named Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor as his running mate. And so suddenly our study is underway and it was like we'd won the lottery. Melissa M.: At least it felt that way for me. Holy cow, now I can study a Republican woman also competing not for president but as a vice presidential running mate. So we also, Jeff Peak and I, did a study of how Sarah Palin was covered and in both Clinton's coverage and Palin's coverage back in 2008 there were real gendered coverage markers. Their gender was mentioned at a disproportionate rate. Their marital status was mentioned at a disproportionate rate. In Hillary Clinton's case, her press coverage was much more negative than her male rivals and the content of that negative coverage was highly personal. Really personal descriptives that were very negative about her. Melissa M.: For Sarah Palin, her coverage was very distinguished by the fact that she was objectified. Her appearance and clothing was mentioned off the charts relative to Joe Biden who was the democratic counterpart on the democratic ticket. So fast forward, we published these two studies, one about Clinton, one about Palin and a couple of years go by and I get an email from a couple of scholars who are interested in publishing a book on the intersection of motherhood and politics. And they reached out to me knowing my work on the 2008 campaign and the two Clinton and Palin studies I'd published. And they said, "Would you be willing to write our chapter on mothers running for political office and their media coverage?" Melissa M.: I said, "Absolutely." So I did a deep dive back into that 2008 data and I wrote a book chapter really dissecting going back into all the articles and looking about how their motherhood status was portrayed in 2008 and it was fascinating and it suggested to me right away that motherhood can be both an asset and a liability on the campaign trail. So for Hillary Clinton in 2008 her daughter Chelsea was an adult. Chelsea was out on the campaign trail. Chelsea was viewed positively. The coverage in the media was that she was sort of an asset to her mother, really effective on the stump. For Palin, it was scandal, scandal, scandal with her kids and it was a different, she had young children. The youngest was a special need infant. She had five kids. There were three separate scandals that the press really sort of harped on. Melissa M.: One was the pregnancy of her teenage daughter. One was the use of state funds as governor of Alaska to take her kids with her to official events. And the third was the use of Republican campaign funds to pay for clothing for her kids. It was a real negative in her coverage. Over the course of that research too, of course, I'm soaking up and reading everything. There's very little scholarly work on mothers and how they're treated on the campaign trail, so what I'm finding is more press coverage accounts and what I find is that for instance, Lisa Madigan, the Illinois attorney general was badgered by the Chicago Sun Times when she was considering running for governor. Already elected to statewide office by the way but badgered by the press for how could she raise young kids while being governor. Jane Swift, this is going back to 2001 so a little bit further back, was Lieutenant governor ascended. Melissa M.: She was next in line. The governor leaves office mid term. She ascends. She's vilified in the press because she's eight months pregnant with two twins. One set of twins. I said that wrong. You go back a little further. Patty Murray was derided as just a mom in tennis shoes by a Washington state legislator when she was not yet running for office but she was lobbying her state legislature to save an important preschool program in the state of Washington. While she went on and took that derisive comment by a male state legislator and made it a campaign slogan and ended up running for office and eventually won a seat in the US Senate. So as I'm reading all of this for this motherhood chapter in the book that was published recently, it's called Mothers and Others, I just thought, oh my goodness, more work has to be done. Melissa M.: There've been so many strides that have been made frankly in terms of women's press coverage but it seemed to me that it's still problematic. I think the media and possibly voters have not yet grappled with, is it okay for a mom to run for high office if she has young kids and questions would be raised about the appropriateness of this. In a way that in my own view and studying press coverage, those kinds of questions are not typically raised about men with young children. So I wanted to do a project. Jolie S.: And with that project, what are the kinds of women you're talking about when you are following candidates on the campaign trail? Do they share similar demographics, political affiliations or other characteristics? Melissa M.: I'm actively trying to interview both Republicans and Democrats. It's a little bit harder to find Republicans because there were not as many women who ran in 2018. The big surge of women's candidacies were among Democrats but I still nevertheless have already interviewed two Republican women. Melissa M.: They tend to be in their late 30s, early to mid 40s. There are women of color. I've interviewed one already in my sample so far and it is important to me to try to get as many different types of women amongst this group that I get their stories from. I mean I'm looking for where I think the challenge is greatest. So I'm really looking for mothers who have kids that are anywhere from infant stage till around 12, 13 years old. So I have women who've raised as little as $40,000 for their campaign to as much as $8 million. So there's also a range in how viable their candidacies were. The mother who only raised $40,000, I will tell you was the nominee of the Republican party. She did not raise a lot of money. She was running in what we call a blue district and she was very candid about saying that she felt she didn't get a lot of hostile questions about the raising of her kids. She said, "I don't think anyone thought I could win so it wasn't an issue." Melissa M.: I've heard that from a couple of women. At the other end of the spectrum, I have candidates who raised hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars all the way up to around $8 million, women who came very, very close to winning. And so I think so far I've got a good mix. It's not the kind of large end statistical study where I'm trying to get a representative sample but I am purposely trying to get a variety of mothers who come from different backgrounds and experiences and also from different parts of the country. So already I have women candidates from the South, the Northeast, the Midwest, and the West. So it is nationwide. And what I'm finding so far is what appear to be some regional differences and what appear to be some generational differences in terms of whose concerned about their ability to serve as mothers. Jolie S.: On that question of the generational differences, I mean one of the things that seems really striking about the 2018 midterms and what's been happening since then, is that a wave of younger candidates won and so the face of the woman in politics has now a generation younger than maybe what most voters were thinking of. And do you have a sense either through your teaching or through some of your other outreach activities of what effect that is having on young voters? Maybe folks who this is their first time able to vote that they're in their late teens or early 20s. Melissa M.: So in 2018 there was a surge of women candidates who ran and a lot of them were younger. This was a huge exception to the rule. So what we know from the gender and politics literature is that women tend to wait longer to launch their first campaign. Why? Precisely because they're having families. They're having their kids and it's not until the kids are raised, grown up, much older that they start to entertain the idea of running for elective office. Men don't do it that way. So there are plenty of examples for generations of men with young little children, babies who nevertheless run for public office and get elected. Melissa M.: So the fact that sort of the face of people running changed is part because of gender, part because of age and at the intersection of that is motherhood. So suddenly you have women who were socialized. If they're in their 30s and 40s I mean, these are women who were raised at a time their mothers were working perhaps full time. Also, perhaps involved in civic activities and other things so they are noticing. And I think the 2016 election, particularly for the democratic women that I've interviewed, it was an eyeopener. Melissa M.: And one of the things I ask every one of my interviewees, and in part it's sort of an icebreaker to start the interview at the general level, what motivated you to run? A lot of these women, particularly the Democrats, it was the 2016 election. It was the big disappointment they felt and it was the sense that I need to do something. They were so disappointed and concerned about the outcome of the election. They felt I need to do something and what will I tell my kids when they're older if I didn't step up. So motherhood I'm learning is really an impetus for a number of these women. It's because I'm a mother that I felt I needed to do something to better my country. Going back to your question, I think I've gone astray Jolie, so remind me if I haven't. Jolie S.: How do you see young people today who are in their late teens or early 20s sort of responding to that 2018 surge? Melissa M.: First of all, I think young people are beginning to much more readily envision politics as an important sphere in which they can be involved almost without question. The women that I've interviewed, those who were able, who ran campaigns that were quite competitive, they raised hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. They had staff. Well guess what? Political staff, whether you're male or female running your campaign tends to be staffed by younger people. I'll never forget what one of these democratic women told me. She was a mother candidate and I ask as I do each of them, did you decide to sort of broadcast that you were a mother? Did you decide to showcase that in your advertising, on your website, in your speeches and so forth? And this particular mother had. She ran, as several of them had as a "working mom." Working mom is the phrase that's in the advertising at the website and so forth. Melissa M.: And I said, "What did your staff think about that?" And she just laughed. She said, "I'm not sure I quite understand why." She said, "Because I've got all these 20 something millennials, they're single, they don't have kids. They totally wanted me to run as a mom." she said. So they felt that broadcasting their motherhood softened them a little bit. Look, I'm a mom. Look at my happy family. I think they found it helpful and certainly their millennials staffers encouraged them to broadcast their motherhood. Jolie S.: Part of this research study involved you being on the trail and sort of having close interaction with some of the campaigns. So can you talk about sort of what that experience was like and how that has shaped this research maybe differently than some of those more macro level studies you've done in the past? Melissa M.: Absolutely. So I ended up only doing one campaign observation. It was phenomenal. It was fascinating. In brief, I was embedded for three days on a campaign, a congressional campaign on the West coast. I was with the candidate. This candidate had raised several hundred thousand dollars at that point, went on to raise several hundred thousand dollars more and I had set up the observation weeks ahead. It involved airfare of course so you do this kind of thing. And listeners, maybe as dismayed as I was when I arrived, the campaign was out of the home at that point and that's common by the way. In the interviews I've done subsequently, that's very common that the campaign is the office is at home. I arrived at the door on the appointed morning. The candidate was very gracious and meeting me at the door, but apologetic. Apologetic because they had canceled all of the scheduled activities, events with voters for the next couple of days. Melissa M.: Why? Because, she was considering dropping out. Why? Because, she was facing intense pressure from the party. She happened to be a Democrat. The party had held its endorsement meeting and she had not gotten the endorsement of the democratic party and she was getting intense pressure to drop out and she apologized. "I know we set this up in advance. I didn't want to cancel. You're not going to get to see me with voters as much." So of course as the scholar, my heart sinks initially. In a way Jolie, how valuable was that for me to be still invited in. I observed, listened in on every meeting with campaign manager, spouse, outside paid consultants over speaker phone. We did go to a couple of meetings with local elected democratic politicians as she was trying to decide whether to stay in or not. Melissa M.: Do you know what's interesting? She is one of two candidates that I have interviewed, and this happened to be an observation for whom her motherhood status as a mother of three young kids was a huge problem. She faced so many thinly veiled critical questions about who will raise your kids and the candidate that the party endorsed was a single woman with no children. Now I know having studied politics for so long that the reason a party chooses to endorse one candidate over the other those reasons are complex. But it is interesting that she told me that her opponent... She was literally being told by Democrats that your opponent, Republican voters, if one of you is going to become the nominee and we're worried if it's you with your little kids, Republican voters will never vote for you because of their traditional values and so forth. Melissa M.: So it's hard to pinpoint exactly how much that entered into the party's endorsement decision. She ended up not being endorsed. It was a grueling scene to watch the decision. She ultimately decided to stay in the race. She ultimately did not win the nomination so she did not go on to the general election. But that campaign observation was absolutely eyeopening for me. First of all, to see what it's like to run a campaign out of a private home when you have three little kids. I'll never forget they had devoted a room on the second floor, obviously a bedroom rather oversized so that was nice, into an office with kind of office Ikea office furniture. But you could hear the comings and goings of the part time nanny that they had. You could hear dad who had fortunately a flexible work schedule changing the diaper, possibly a pull up for those of you who know the difference amongst our listeners, singing old McDonald. Melissa M.: There we are sitting in the war room, not me, I'm just listening, but the candidate's having difficult conversations about whether to stay in the race and all of this is going on. One of the factors that entered in her decision to stay in the race was, I'll stay in, but we have to get an office outside of the home. This is too much conflict to have inside the home. So in addition to the observation, I interviewed her at the end of the observation as sort of a separate matter and I asked her about that. I said, "You mentioned conflict in the home. What do you mean by that?" That could be shouting matches. She said, "No, just people involved on campaigns are type A personalities. It's hard driving. Quick decisions have to be made. We have to hash out strategy. Staffers can disagree over what neighborhood we ought to canvas in and the like." So it was more it was important for her who had three small children under the age of five to get an office and about a week after the observation they did get an office. Jolie S.: Can you elaborate a little bit more on how this research then can be put into the hands of potential candidates and campaign workers to maybe help them think differently about what some of those options are? Melissa M.: Yes. It's a great question because I've always been about doing research that has public implications and trying to get the important findings of this kind of research out to the public. And first I think is just to publicize mothers of young children are now running. They are running. This may be new in many districts in many places but it's happening. It will eventually begin to normalize. The more women with young children run the more it will become normal. So, that's one thing. I'll also say, I alluded to this earlier that the stereotypes about a woman's proper place when her children are young is at home with maybe a regular job but certainly not Congress. What I'm finding in my interviews is that those kinds of stereotypes being raised by voters tend to be projected by older voters so not younger voters. Cultural change is slow unfortunately. We like to speed it along and I think my research can speed it along. Melissa M.: So part of the plan is of course it's not journalism. I mean I'm not on a 24 hour deadline. As I continue to do my interviews and then begin to write and publish in academic outlets, I'm definitely planning to do outreach. There's a group that I have discovered called Vote Mama. This is a fascinating group. It has just been established, I believe early 2019 by a mother of young children who ran in the state of New York. She ran out on Long Island. Her name's Luba Shirley and she actually asked the FEC, the Federal Elections Commission to approve her use of campaign funds to pay for childcare for her children so that she could run. Melissa M.: Nobody had done this before and in fact, when I was observing my candidate on the West coast in that three day embedded experience I had, she lamented that the understanding was the FEC won't allow you to use your campaign donations to pay for childcare, which she thought was outrageous because she said, "Running is a full time job and I had to take a leave of absence from my job." she said, "So that I could run and now I can't possibly run effectively without childcare." And she was advised by her male campaign manager not to make a request to the FEC because if word got out in her district that she was asking the FEC to use the campaign funds, it would come back to bite her. Melissa M.: Little did she know that on the other coast out on Long Island, there was a similar mother in a similar position who for whatever reason did decide to ask the FEC and she got permission. And so I think about a dozen candidates in 2018 both women and men, interestingly enough, using the new FEC ruling began to use their campaign funds to pay for childcare. That is a huge breakthrough. That the woman who filed the case with the FEC and won that case has since founded this Vote Mama organization. It is specifically designed for democratic women mind you, so it's not bi-partisan, but it's to elect democratic women who are mothers of young children up and down the ballot. Melissa M.: She believes this founder of Vote Mama as well as the women I've talked to, they say we need government to represent us. This is true for Democrats and Republicans. Why can't mothers of young children. They have a unique perspective. They should be at the table. It's been absolutely fascinating to hear about their lived experiences and learn from them. And I absolutely hope and plan for my moms on the run study to be educational and informative to campaign professionals, to politicians and party members. I do think 2018 with the record number of women elected, I think that women now have the attention of the parties. So I do think both parties will realize that putting women on the ballot can be a win. Putting women with young children on the ballot can also be a win as we've seen from the 10, 12 women who are mothers of young children who were elected to the US House of Representatives in 2018. Jolie S.: Thanks so much, Melissa. We're going to take a quick break now. Thank you for listening to the BG Ideas podcast. Introduction: If, you are passionate about big ideas consider sponsoring this program. To have your name or organization mentioned here please contact us at ics@bgsu.edu. Jolie S.: Today I'm talking with Dr. Melissa K. Miller about her research on mothers who ran for Congress in the 2018 midterms. We have a student who has a couple of questions. Would you say your name first and then your first question? Christina: Yes. Hello. My name is Christina and I am an MPA student at BGSU. My first question for you, Dr. Miller is, have you talked to the spouses of these women to see how they have supported them? Melissa M.: That is a great question. I talked to the spouse of one woman. The woman that I embedded in her campaign for three days. So I literally met the spouse on day one. I saw the spouse every day. I mentioned earlier in the podcast, this was a campaign where this particular mom candidate was being kind of pushed out. There were activists trying to push her out, so I got to observe the brain trust trying to make a final decision. Was she going to stay in the race or not? Her spouse participated in that. At the end of the observation period, I asked him, having met him, "Can I interview you?" Melissa M.: And he had me do that. He let me do that. I was so pleased. His interview as well was about 60 to 90 minutes long. I did it a few days after returning to campus and his insights were amazing in part because you heard from his perspective what the discussions he had with his wife were like when they were trying to decide how would they make this work. I mean they had real decisions to make about their jobs, their schedules, if either of them could go part time, whether they could afford a nanny and the like. It was because I had the opportunity to talk to him that in every subsequent interview I've done, I am only interviewing the mom candidates, but I always ask, "What is the role of your spouse on this campaign?" And I've seen a real variety of roles, Christina. Everywhere from full blown partner advising me at every turn. Melissa M.: My husband's taken over everything in terms of household and childcare and all that. This by the way, was from a mom who, what she described prior to the campaign was they really had a partnership thing going. It wasn't she was fulfilling a traditional role of doing the majority of housework. They were partnering. And at the other end I had a mom in a very traditional marriage who her husband was very supportive and he would do additional school pickups and that kind of thing but she literally complained to me. Did not do any extra dishes. Didn't do any meal preparation and you could tell, I mean, she told me in a discouraging sort of disappointed tone, she said, "I doubt there are a lot of men out there who are running for Congress who get home at the end of a very busy day to a sink stacked full of dirty dishes and laundry all over the place. Melissa M.: So I found that fascinating because her husband fully supported her running, but she was in a household where she still had to do all of the regular chores, those gendered domestic chores that traditionally women have done. So we saw a real difference. And I do think in every case though, it was a negotiation between mom, candidate and spouse. How were they going to make it work? And several of these women also indicated to me that they perceived at least that dad candidates out there didn't have to have these same kinds of negotiations. So, that's been very illuminating. Speaker 6: How have the narrative surrounding children on the presidential campaign for say, Clinton, Bush and the Obama's compared? Melissa M.: It's a great question because really if we just as individual voters, listeners we think to ourselves, what do we know about campaigns? Well, what your average American knows about campaigns is what they see every four years in the most high profile campaign in the country. So your average voter, that's what they know of campaigns is what they see. And unfortunately, for reasons that I gave at the outset, what they see may discourage women of young children from running. For instance, Sarah Palin and the treatment of her children and how she was really put under the microscope and her parenting was really subjected to just, oh, tons of criticism. And we can debate some of that, the scandals. Some of that press coverage may have been warranted and important. Melissa M.: But what's interesting to me is in that very same election, Barack Obama, just a candidate back then a US Senator from Illinois, had young children. I think they were aged maybe seven and six, six and nine or something along those lines. And because I studied his press coverage alongside Hillary Clinton's, I can tell you there was very little mention of his kids in his press coverage far more for Clinton, way more for Palin. The fact that he had young kids and was running for president was not an issue for him in the way it was for Palin or frankly in the way I've learned it was for women who ran for Congress in 2018 simply because society has different expectations about women's role in the household when there are young children versus men's. Another thing you mentioned the Bushes. I might also bring in President Trump and his young son Barron. Occasionally and fortunately it doesn't happen very often, but occasionally the children of these high profile politicians, elected officials will really be attacked. Melissa M.: I think this happened in a couple isolated cases for the Bush girls when George W. was in the White House. It's happened a few times for Barron, President Trump's son. That's most recent. Also, perhaps most visible because now we're in the Twitterverse so all over social media and one nice thing I see is that there's always a big backlash when the children of a politician get attacked or criticized. Another example that comes to mind toward the end of the Obama administration, his daughters now teenagers appearing at some public events with their father, the way they dressed was criticized. And the good news is, at least in the mainstream media, there's a real backlash where you have reporters saying... Jolie S.: That's off limits. Melissa M.: Absolutely off limits. What worries me though is when there are these high profile examples of presidents' kids who get dragged into the media or made fun of or victimized somehow online. There are mothers out there and fathers as well, I would imagine, who don't want to get into it. They don't want to subject their kids to that kind of scrutiny. So I do hope that the project that moms on the run will at least elevate awareness that women with young children can run. They do run, they are running, they're winning. And again, as I said earlier, women running with small kids for office, whether it's US House of Representatives or lower level office, it's just what women do just like men with young children do. Again, however, cultural change is slow, which is why I think it's an important study. It's an important time to be studying this, to push cultural change along a little bit, I guess would be my broad goal. Jolie S.: Thank you so much for being here with us today.

Keynote speakers for the 2019 Women of Color Leadership Summit Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johnson (Director of the Women's Center at Northwestern University) and KaeLyn Rich  (queer feminist, a direct-action organizer, a nonprofit leader, and a sexuality educator in upstate New York) discuss women of color in places of leadership, as well as collaboration across universities between women of color.     Transcript: Introduction: From Bowling Green State University and the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society, this is BG Ideas. Intro Song Lyrics: I'm going to show you this with a wonderful experiment. Jolie Sheffer: Welcome back to the BG Ideas podcast, a collaboration between the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society and the School of Media and Communication at Bowling Green State University. I am Jolie Sheffer, Associate Professor of English and American Culture Studies and the Director of ICS. Jolie Sheffer: Today we are joined by two very special guests, Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johnson and KaeLyn Rich. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johnson currently serves as Director of the Women's Center at Northwestern University. KaeLyn Rich is a queer feminist, a direct action organizer, a nonprofit leader, and a sexuality educator in upstate New York. On behalf of ICS and the Center for Women and Gender Equity, I'd like to welcome you both to BGSU. I'm thrilled to have you here as keynote speakers for the 2019 Women of Color Leadership Summit. Jolie Sheffer: The summit is designed to increase the number of women of color in places of leadership to encourage collaboration across the university as well as share the lessons and knowledge on leadership practice developed and modeled by women of color. Thanks again for joining me. I'd like each of you to give a little background on your current work, then how you came to the role you now occupy. What has been your own path to becoming a leader? Sekile? Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: That's a great question. I appreciate you asking. I often interpreted my career, up until a few years ago, I interpreted my career as being disjointed. Every time I took a pivot in my career I felt like I was adding all of these kind of disjointed parts of myself. I started as a clinician, and then I'm a researcher, and now I'm really focused on training social workers as a professor. And I couldn't quite see what the narrative was or what the arc was in my career. And then I came to Chicago and continued my work as a professor and scholar and researcher and began also doing policy work. And again, I felt like these were all very disjointed. I couldn't see that where the thread was. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And then I was interviewing for my position at Northwestern and it was within that interview that it all began to gel for me. And I realized that each and every one of these pieces, being a clinician, being an activist, working in policy, working in research, being an educator, that each one of these pieces prepared me to now step into my role as the Director of the Women's Center. And that was my narrative and it wasn't disjointed, but actually that they were building me in all these different skillsets that I would need to move into this leadership role. Because I actually like doing all of those things. I like doing research, and I like policy, and I like being able to be empathic towards people, which is a use of my clinical skills. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And I also like to educate folks and I love to be in community and in collaboration and coalition with folks. And so, all of those things are pieces oof my leadership style, and they're things that I think we actually need if we're going to be change agents, a catalyst for change within institutional settings. Jolie Sheffer: And so what is your vision now for the Women's Center and you taking over this role? You've been there a little while now. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: Yeah, so I've been there about a year and a half. And I think one piece for me is the vision is to articulate who we are and who we have been, and shining a light on the things that the Women's Center has contributed to the institution. So historicizing our work is really important to me. And then being able to then amplify it. So, that's a vision of mine. So to remind the university of what we've done and what we have the capacity for, and to assert ourselves within the institution. Another kind of vision for me, because we sit in the Office of the Provost, so we're faculty staff and student serving, is to make sure that as I think about programming that I'm thinking about programming that actually impacts the larger campus community. And so, it doesn't just kind of serve one piece. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And then I'm also the co-chair of the campus-wide task force to support gender queer, non-binary, and trans faculty staff and students. And so to also imagine the Women's Center as not only a safe space for women, but other gender and sexual minorities. And so, to expand out our notion of what it means to respond to gender inequity and not just that it focuses on women, but also trans and non-binary folks. And so, that's a real big commitment of mine. And I see myself to be leading that institutional work, and not just at the institutional, but even transforming some of our practices within the Women's Center. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And then the final piece is to always center the experiences of the most marginalized at Northwestern University's campus. It's a very elite institution. And so, how we think about marginalized communities is even amplified in that setting. So first generation students, transnational folks, gender and sexual minorities, women of color, indigenous people, first gen, and I might've said first gen already, but first gen and working class folks, all those folks are truly on the margin at Northwestern. And so, keeping them at the center of my program is really, really critical for me. Jolie Sheffer: Okay, thank you. KaeLyn, what about you? What has been your journey to the work you're doing today? KaeLyn RIch: Yeah, so a great build off of what Sekile was talking about, the Women's Center, I actually was Co-Director of the Women's Center at my university for undergrad. So I went to a state school in New York, State University of New York College at Oswego. A little rural, actually the town, the city of Oswego, was a lot like the city of Bowling Green. So I feel that like kind of downtown, one main street surrounded by rural expanse, and then one, we had a Walmart, you have a different store, but one like big store where all of the things are. Jolie Sheffer: We do have a Walmart, too. KaeLyn RIch: You have a Walmart, too? Yeah. Driving out all the moms and pops, but that's a whole other podcast. So anyways, our women's center there came out of that sort of history of women's centers. It was started in the '70s, 1974, I believe, by a group of women who wanted to respond to sexual assault and to employment issues, to wage issues, and employment access for women. And it started off campus actually and eventually came on campus. The difference is, that was a student-led, student-run organization. So both myself and my co-directors were all undergraduate students. It was funded through our student association, our student government, but it was through that, that I really began to sort of actualize myself as a leader in activist movements. KaeLyn RIch: I think activism has always been part of my personal narrative. My parents were both public school teachers, they were both union leaders. So I like to joke that I'm a community organizer and my organizing experience goes back to stuffing folders around the dining room table for my mom and dad for the union meetings, because that's sort of my earliest memory. I grew up with this sort of idea that if you want to see something changed or if you want to advocate for your rights, you have to do it yourself. KaeLyn RIch: And college was really the first time where I actualized that and internalized it. It became part of who I am, not just how I grew up. One of my first jobs was working in a shelter for women and children escaping family violence. And I made those connections through work I was doing as a student leader at the women's center as well as some of my kind of additional, that long list of things that I do come out of that time. So I was a sexuality educator for a period of time, for about five years. It was sort of a side job on top of my full-time job and I would travel around the country talking about sex ed. I did a lot of freshman orientation programs. I also did a lot of the LGBTQ, et cetera, programming and that company I worked for, Sex Discussed Here, discussed, talked about, not discussed, like you, they're most popular for the I Love Female Orgasm program. Some people might recognize them from that. KaeLyn RIch: We actually brought them to bring that program and some of their other programs, when I was a student leader. So at the women's center we'd brought this group in, it's a couple who was really doing the work, just them at the time. And then they started hiring more people and they remembered me, weirdly enough, from college all those years ago, and reached out and asked if I would be on their team. So I've been lucky to cultivate a lot of relationships and a lot of what community organizing is about is in fact about cultivating relationships and building meaningful connections between people of various kinds of lived experiences. And it all goes all the way back to the women's center. KaeLyn RIch: So similarly, I've worn lots of hats. I've tried out lots of different things, which is why it's hard to sort of define what I do. I would say professionally in terms of my day job, I've been a, I would say my skills are community organizing. What I've done is sort of professional activism. So, right now my job is Assistant Advocacy Director. I oversee our statewide offices outside of the main office in New York City. And I used to run one of those regional offices as well. And then on the side, not on the side, in addition, too, I'm also a writer. I write for autostraddle.com. It's a queer independent website for women and non-binary folks, for and by, and writing for that site is actually what got me the book deal for Girls Resist. KaeLyn RIch: So, I'm a first time author of a YA, young adult book, called Girls Resist, a guide to activism, leadership, and starting a revolution. So, Girls Resist wasn't actually an idea that started with me in a direct way.It started with, I was writing for Autostraddle, this column called Be the Change. And this all happened after the 2016 election. The reality is, the idea for writing this organizing column was based on my personal experience as an organizer started way before the election. It wasn't like a direct response to it. It's just an idea that I'd run by my editors and they were like, "Yes, let's do a little mini series on organizing." Then we kind of put it on a shelf and I just hadn't gotten back around to it. KaeLyn RIch: After the election, it seemed like the content that we already had planned on creating, so it was relevant then and it's relevant now, was information people wanted. People wanted to know, "How do I take action? How do I get involved?" And a lot of people were either entering activism for the first time or were coming back to it after a long time and just were really looking for this kind of stuff. And Autostraddle were also bringing it through a queer and feminist lens. So I decided to take that project off the shelf. I started writing this column called Be the Change about community organizing. Similarly, at my publisher Quirk Books, my editor there had this idea on the shelf before the election of a teen activism handbook. KaeLyn RIch: She handled a lot of YA titles, a lot YA feminist nonfiction. And similarly after the election she was like, "Okay, this is the time to find someone to work on this project." So my publisher actually reached out to me, not the other way around. It was a traditional publisher, not an academic one, and asked if I wanted to collaborate on this project, and from there it became mine. So I mean, once I signed on, and came under contract, I did all the work of writing the book and the way that it's framed is like 100% in my words and language. But the idea for it was sort of a collaboration between two people that were having similar ideas at the same time. Jolie Sheffer: What are some of the challenges, from where you sit and the work that you do, what do you see as some of the greatest challenges women of color face in terms of accessing or succeeding at leadership roles? Whether it's in the academy, at not-for-profits, in community organizing, in politics? Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: Yeah, so I'll talk, I'll take a couple of those. I think, so in addition to my academic work, maybe it's because of my role as a social worker, I've always done also community-engaged work, activist work. And so, I've been serving on the board of the Chicago Abortion Fund, actually, for the last six years, and have been both in a leadership role as the board chair and co-chair. But also, just serving on the board more regularly. I think that when I think about the Chicago Abortion Fund, and I think about the last decade, or the last 15 years, where we've had women of color at the helm as far as being the executive director of the small not-for-profit as well as being in leadership capacity on the board, I think that it's a microcosm, I think, of broader challenges. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: Which is, those spaces that serve women of color, and indigenous women most directly are also the most underfunded and under-resourced. And so, we are often doing so much with so little. And when I look at organizations like Planned Parenthood or even the ACLU, I mean, they are funded in a way that allows them to do their work. But we are most directly on the ground connected to the everyday struggles and everyday experiences of communities of color, people of color, working class communities, rural and urban, and often don't have the resources to do. But so the expectations are high that we're successful, but were not given staff, we're not given grants, we're not given the funding, the community support, the institutional support to do the work well. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And so, women of color are often seen as failures when they get into leadership capacity, leadership roles, because they didn't do well. They didn't end ... But my question is, have we been given the resources to do well? Whether that's even access to education. Many women who step into leadership roles are doing it because they see the need in their community. They roll up their sleeves, they become activists, then people see their promise, they are hired. But they aren't always given the access to education and the skills training, professional development they might need to do maybe the operation side of the work. And so, I think that ... Or, we do have all those skills but we're faced with issues around racism and sexism and a notion that we're incompetent, right? Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And so, I think from the reading of our bodies as incompetent, the lack of support that we get structurally that don't allow us to succeed, and I think the very, the complexity of issues that we also take on, we are fighting for, for instance, I'm engaged in the reproductive justice struggle. And that means that I'm not only mobilizing around abortion access, I'm mobilizing around sterilization abuse, I'm mobilizing around access to healthcare broadly, to clean drinking water, because it's toxic due to lead, high levels of lead. I'm concerned about public education, and housing access, and food security. So all of these, from environmental issues to bread and butter issues, are reproductive justice issues. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And that means women of color are often dispersed, because we're engaged in all of these struggles, right? And we see them as connected. And that means that it really impacts our capacity sometimes to be impactful in any one struggle, because we see ... and the fact that we have to choose which struggles we should be connected with, I think, is really problematic. But we often see the connections between struggles. So I think those are challenges, because people who are in the environmental justice movement or people who in the food justice movement, or the clean eating, for instance, I don't know if I even call that a justice movement, but this notion around clean eating, not looking at the larger social issues, and not thinking through the connection between social struggles means that women of color are doing that work. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And I think then, and that produces for me, burnout. That produces a sense of betrayal, that you don't see the connections between all of these. And then I also think that can impact then our effectiveness if we're burnt out, if we're not supported, if we're not getting funded in the ways that we should get funded, if we're expected to do more with less. So that's what I think is on the community level, what I've seen. And within struggles, what I've seen is some of the real, real barriers to our success, that they're not about us at the individual level, but really structurally the pieces that are swirling around us. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: From an institutional level, when I think about higher ed, I think it's the same thing, that we are often in marginalized spaces in institutional settings. It is no surprise that most women of color are in the health fields. We're in the professional fields like education, we're in social work, we're in the liberal arts and sciences, which are completely being erased and underfunded in higher ed. And at the center level, we're in the social justice education, we're in the women's centers, we're in the multicultural student center. And so, all of these spaces are the marginalized spaces. So we're marginalized people also occupying marginalized spaces within the institution. We're precarious people occupying precarious spaces within institutionalized settings. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And when you have that compounded amount of reality, that is going to impact your capacity to be a leader. And so, you're navigating what it means to live in this body, but also what it means to even navigate and live within these units within higher ed. And so I think, and then you have people also lined up outside your door. So outside my door, are my students, they're my peers, they're my colleagues, they're community members, who now see me with a particular title and think I might be able to impact their lives in ways that I sometimes and often don't have capacity to. And sometimes they're even people who are administrators who are above me, but who look like me and also need support. And I don't have, even with my title, institutional power to transform their, to change their reality, which really often has be done at a policy level or a culture shifting level. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: So I think the expectation that we even once we get into a leadership role have the capacity to transform centuries of injustice and inequity and really, is overwhelming. And also demoralizing, because you can only do what you can do within a workday. And we do make contributions, but we're expected, I think, because of our roles and our identities to somehow do bigger work and more impactful work than the next person. Jolie Sheffer: So the work isn't always visible and it isn't supported in ways that allow that capacity to build. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: Yeah. And I also think that much of the work that, and we had this conversation yesterday as we were visiting the graduate students at our graduate course, was that the work is invisibilized, because you don't see it in part of your annual review. With regard, if you're a faculty member, we know, even at teaching institutions, service is invisible. And we know that women, queer folk, people of color, first gen folks are doing the majority of that emotional labor, that service. And that is retention work. That keeps colleagues and students here. But it often doesn't count towards our annual review. If your staff, it doesn't go, there's often not a space for it on your tenure portfolio, or it isn't weighted the same. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: It matters. We know it matters, but it's not weighted the same. We're giving contradictory messages, focus on your scholarship, focus on your teaching, but also be available to students and mentor. But so I think, so it's those pieces, that those kinds of contradictory spaces, this what I call invisibilized work, versus invisible work. Because the work, as our colleague said, yes, it's very visible, but we're choosing not to count it. We're choosing not to. So that's an active, actionable thing to not count the leadership work that looks very different sometimes. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: But to count, if someone, for instance, at Northwestern, they get a patent, right? So that makes the front page of the paper. They get more resources for their lab. But someone who actually has been committed to retaining faculty, staff, and students, and Northwestern also contributes to the university's growth in development but doesn't get the same type of accolades, you know? Yeah. Jolie Sheffer: What about you, KaeLyn? From your position, your roles, what are the concerns that you really take up in terms of women of color, accessing and mobilizing leadership opportunities? KaeLyn RIch: Yeah, they're very similar in the nonprofit world, in the social justice world. Even when we were talking about working in communities and in community with folks, these same things come up. Because who we are can't be separated from the work that we do. Especially those of us that choose to work in helping, teaching social justice fields is there, and things follow us. So we can create safer spaces for each other, but there's always going to be triggers of racism and classism, and homophobia, and transphobia, and ableism, and just things that show up in those spaces, because we're all complex people. And when you hold those marginalized identities, you also really can't separate who you are from the work you're doing, sometimes. You have to really work hard at that. KaeLyn RIch: I think most superhero stories start, someone gets their superpower is because of a traumatic event in their life. And I wouldn't say that I want, I don't want to mischaracterize my love for my family by saying it was a traumatic event, but being a trans-racial adoptee was a literally life-changing event for me. So, I came here at the age of 17 months. I grew up Korean, and a very visible minority in a very rural area of Western New York, where my family was white. My sister is also adopted and Korean, but we were really the only Korean kids in our school. And I grew up with all friends that were white, all teachers that were white. When you think about sort of my standpoint, I occupy space as a woman of color, but it took me a really long time to get there. KaeLyn RIch: Even, to be honest, I identified as a feminist first, I identified as queer first, as a writer, as an activist for social justice movements, as a student organizer, all of these things. It really wasn't until I was a fully-grown adult that I came into understanding myself as a woman of color, which is bizarre to think about for white people, I think, because it's so visible on my face. Like you look at my face and you think, "Oh, well, she's Asian." But for me it wasn't so clear, because I grew up so separate from my culture. And the trauma is around being separated from who you are, and being fed instead sort of the dominant narrative, which is a white and male narrative of who our country is, how we came to be, when none of that was my history and I was completely cut off from it. KaeLyn RIch: But through adoption, not through any one person's choice, but through the system of international and trans-racial adoption, and the lack of thought about how that works. So on the flip of that, that's the superpower that came out of something that wasn't so great. The superpower I get from that, which I try to use to open doors for other people, but also is exhausting, is that I'm exceptionally good at meeting other people where they are. I'm exceptionally good at respectability politics and adopting how I talk, how I dress, how I show up, and thinking through those things very actively every day. And so that I'm not threatening to white people. KaeLyn RIch: As an Asian woman, I also get to show up differently in spaces sometimes than my black colleagues. Because the stereotypes, at least in New York State, around who we are, are so different and all of them are harmful. But the sort of microaggressions I get are very different than being seen as threatening, or as violent, or as angry. If anything, I have to do more to prove that I am strong and capable and that I'm not so like passive and like a receptacle for information. Or for honestly like white, like b.s. Sometimes people come to me and I think because Asians are light-skinned because we have a lot of racism in our own communities. There's a lot going on there. White people feel more comfortable talking to me than talking to, let's say, one of my black peers about race, about issues, because they think we're going to have some sort of kinship around there. And my kinship is 100% with women of color. And especially with queer women of color. KaeLyn RIch: That said, it gives me access to open up spaces. And for me, I choose, I don't think it is anyone's job to be, to work with gatekeepers to try to hold open those doors. A lot of people are just working on survival and that's 100% fair, and really, all we can ask of people. I choose to sort of use that earned and learned superpower to try to build bridges for people to try to take on some of that emotional labor that can be truly exhausting in order to make things a little bit better, take a little bit of burden off of someone else. KaeLyn RIch: I mean, I think it's part of, to be honest, I think it's why I've succeeded at leadership, in so many ways is because a lot of people feel like they can relate to me, right? I have that reputation, and it's afforded me leadership opportunities because there's often, often people in power are white. Often people in power are of dominant identities a lot of different ways. I've worked primarily with women in my career, in terms of leadership, but a lot of those women have been white, a lot of them have been, all of them have been cisgender and most of them have been straight, and generally come from a place of systemic privilege, systemic power, and they get to broker who else gets access. KaeLyn RIch: And I think a lot of why I've been given access, and I want to be really honest about it, is that I've learned and sometimes don't even do it intentionally, how just sort of adapt to what white people think is the right way to act or the right way to be in the world. Because I've had to do that literally from as early as I can remember in school, in life, in my family, in my relationships, I've had to navigate being the visible other, and what that means for me in terms of both self-identification and how I show up. I mean, now, obviously I'm more thoughtful and critical about it, but it does show up in everything you do. KaeLyn RIch: So how I wrote Girls Resist would've been really different than how my editor who was a white woman, like a woke, smart white woman would have written it. But she wouldn't have thought of some of the things that I thought of just off the bat. And that showed, even in the process, there were several times, because all of the staff at that publisher at that time, not anymore, were white and all the people working on my book were white. There were definitely times where I had to sort of do extra work of kind of like, at one point they were putting quotes into the book and all the quotes that they'd added were by white women, every single one. KaeLyn RIch: And I was like, which was very, the book is written in a way that's intentionally intersectional and intentionally accessible to young people obviously, but I want like trans girls to see themselves in it. I want black and brown girls to see themselves in it, and Asian girls. And queer and trans people in general. Really anyone who has a marginalized identity, even though girls is sort of very binary language. I tried to break that down as much as possible, right? So if you're on the margins, this book is about giving this information to you. When that comes up there's a whole chapter on, there's actually a whole chapter on intersectionality and what people are now in social justice fields are calling being an accomplice, but I call it sort of like meaningful allyship, like really standing up and standing with. KaeLyn RIch: And then you put in all these quotes from all these white women. And I was like, okay, I see what you're doing here. And not even like, I don't know, they were not thoughtful quotes, either. And just one example ... and my publisher was great in that they did go back and change them out when I sent sort of the email. I was like, "This and this and this is problematic. Here are some other suggestions of quotes you could use." And I did a quick Google search. It's not like this information is hard to find. I was like, how about we have like a black trans women talking about gender equity instead of, no offense to Gloria Steinem, she's great, but instead of Gloria Steinem. And even that quote was like very heteronormative, it was about men and women and like, "Behind every man," and I was like, "No, no, no. This isn't like for teens. It's also not like how we would frame this issue for people of color or for trans women, for people who are even more marginalized by the gender wage gap." KaeLyn RIch: So a lot of it is that. It's like the doing, that constant awareness, and the constant emotional labor, and the constant, especially something like a book that's going to have your name on it, you know? I couldn't let it go out in the world with just added quotes from important women, but there are lots of women who don't get that platform and I wanted to make sure their voices were included too. KaeLyn RIch: So, a lot of being in leadership is taking that step of putting yourself at risk a little bit, because there's always the risk that someone's going to think you're difficult to work with, or even as an Asian woman, or that you're too militant or you're being, I think earlier today we were talking about being feminist killjoys, but being that person that's always making things hard, and you just have to do it anyways. Jolie Sheffer: Good. One of the things that we focus on at ICS is interdisciplinary approaches to important topics, and the importance of sort of crossing over those conventional silos. So Sekile, since a good deal of your research is particularly in relation to different disciplines and intersections of race, class, and gender, could you talk about how interdisciplinarity shapes your work? Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: Sure. Sure. I'm really excited to talk about this, actually, from a teaching and a scholarship perspective. So I mentioned earlier, my career started in the professions as a social worker. So, but luckily I went to an undergrad institution that grounded my professional development or my professional skills in kind of a really critical race theory, intersectionality, liberal arts education. So I was, and I feel like liberal arts is where the beginnings of interdisciplinarity emerged. And so, I was really grounded in what it meant to be a critical thinker, what it meant to be an engaged person in your community. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And I was able to model, as a professor, what it meant to have a strong liberal arts foundation before you had your ... Because I feel like any social worker needs to know how to engage in humanity, needs to have critical thinking skills, needs to have depth in their analysis. And so, that is critical for me as someone who received that kind of education to also deliver it to the next person. After working in social work as a professor, I also began to teach in women and gender studies and in psychology. So I'm interesting in the sense that I have been an educator in a professional field. I've been an educator and researcher in an interdisciplinary field like women's studies, and also in psychology, which is a social science. So it's been a wonderful ... so, interdisciplinarity is actually at the core of my teaching and my research. And of course, in the field of women's studies, it's an interdisciplinary field. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: So how that shows up in my research is actually, I'll talk about both of my books which somehow I have not talked about. But my first book, which is an edited volume called Black Women, Mothering and the Academy, which is an edited volume that really looks at the theorization of maternity as well as the experience of maternity in higher ed. And so, myself and I believe, 12 or 13 other scholars, some in academia, some in not, wrote about, contributed chapters there. And my intention was again, to offer an interdisciplinary intersectional way of thinking about motherhood in higher ed. And so, sometimes people wrote about their experience as mothers and their marginalization as mothers in higher ed. Also as black women navigating that embodied reality. Sometimes people talked about maternalized labor. I define maternalized labor not only as the emotional labor, but also the gendered labor and this assumption that we're going to take care of the university's children. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: But using and drawing upon social sciences, drawing upon personal narratives, deciding to allow people to write in a way that incorporates their personal narrative and with research, right. And so, allowing for that fluidity, that boundless way, that disruptive way of thinking about academic work. So that's the first book. And I really enjoy just that each chapter feels very, very different from the other. And so, I think that that book represents a nice example of the benefits in the interdisciplinary. And for me, the inclusivity, because it allowed black women to write in a way that was freeing and liberatory. So in my current book, I also am doing the same thing, which is inspired by a chapter in the first book, which was written by a black queer woman who talked about being a mother and actually being a working class, struggling mother as an academic. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And so, I became really fascinated by that sub-theme that showed up in that first book about these black women who were highly educated and also receiving public assistance and receiving welfare. And so, looking at that paradox between highly educated and also poor as a black woman. And so this, the second book, which is called, currently the working title is Laboring Positions, Higher Education as a Hyper-Producer of Inequity. And so, within this book I'm doing the same kind of engagement from an interdisciplinary perspective in which I am using black women's narratives around being highly educated, and also navigating poverty and also using data from educational data, sociological data, and historical data, so both the what unfortunately we call the hard data, right? But including the narrative as well, and again, allowing them to blend and bleed together and be boundless and how I think through this work and to also be disruptive. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: One of the pieces that I took a risk, and only because I was encouraged by a black feminist who's my mentor, Julia Jordan-Zachery, who I encourage you to read any and everything written by this wonderful scholar. I struggled really hardly with finishing my final chapter, my conclusion. I just couldn't, I was just stuck. I had writer's block. And she said, "It's time for you to tell your story." Because I had been trying to stay emotionally disengaged from the work, because that is the way we are trained as scholars, particularly those of us who are in the social sciences to stay distant from our work, to be objective, use the scientific method. And so, I had been keeping some emotional distance from the work. And she said, "It's time for you to to write." Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: And so, usually you might kind of do a little testimony in the preface of your book and as the setup. But instead, I actually did it in the conclusion, and I said ... and I'd use a not very nontraditional ... I was a rule breaker. And so the conclusion of my forthcoming book actually tells my story as an academic. And it's breaking lots of disciplinary rules by doing so, even the structure of the book. And I'm lucky enough that Johns Hopkins University Press is allowing me to go on that journey. So when I sent it to the press editors, they said, "This actually traditionally fits in the preface, but I like where you put it, and I think your story matters. And I think it goes here." Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: So I think for me, that's the crux of what it means to be an interdisciplinary scholar is also just deciding to break the rules, deciding, but intentionally deciding. That there's thoughtfulness. And I actually say within the text, "I know I'm breaking the rules, I am taking a risk here, but I want you to come on this journey with me. And I think that it is part of my method." So there's a methodological intention to it that I need to include my voice in this book. And I think that I wrote the book initially as this researcher, this outsider within, but I realized that I actually am a character in my own book, and I wanted to disclose that. And I'm disclosing it here in this final chapter. Dr. Sekile Nzinga-Johsnon: So that was the kind of journey I went on. And it's, my latest, I guess, articulation of what interdisciplinary means for me. And of course, that's at the intersection of race, class, gender, and sexuality. But I would say that this book really focuses on really critically class, because I think we take up race and gender quite often in academia, but I really wanted to point out the class struggle that women of color are facing within higher ed. And that is often not, the light is not shined on. So this book really forefronts our class-based struggles and ... Yeah. So I'll just leave it there. Jolie Sheffer: So KaeLyn, I want you to tell us a little more about Girls Resist. You've talked about kind of what started the book, but how did you go about thinking through the form of the book, related to some of the things Sekile was talking about interdisciplinarity. How did you decide that a young adult book was the right approach? And then how did you tackle what that book should look like? KaeLyn RIch: Yeah, so those are great questions. I think that ... We knew from the beginning it was going to be a young adult book. It wasn't immediately apparent whether it was going to be middle grade and up or high school and up. I initially conceived that it'd be middle grade and up. Ironically, we ended up writing it for high school and up. But then now as it's getting different starred reviews and things, a lot of educators are seeing it as middle grade and up. So, my first fan mail was from a nine-year-old girl, so it really is exciting to me that it seems to be accessible to people at a lot of different levels. KaeLyn RIch: My goal, in terms of the tone of the book was not to come across as your mom or even though I am a mom, or as like this older person that knows better how to do it, but just say, "Here are the tools that I was given. This is a very basic recipe for a cake, and I'm going to hand you this same recipe, but you may do something totally different with it. You can put your own frosting on it, you can add sprinkles to it. Maybe it's not a cake. Maybe it's actually a muffin or a cookie, and you're going to like totally reinvent it. But I just want you to have a place to start." Much like a, this is a very typically gendered thing, much like someone passes down a recipe through generations. I kind of want it to be that, like, "This is my basic cake recipe. You are going to lead us into the future, making it your own in so many ways." KaeLyn RIch: So that was really the goal. I think I've lost sight of the question, but that's fine. That was really the goal for me with the book in terms of making it accessible, making it inclusive, and really making it about, like trusting that girls already know. And already hold that knowledge in their bodies as young as middle school and even younger. They know that the world's unfair. And they know that it's affected them. And then giving them the tools to say like, "Okay, you want to do something about it. So how can I help you figure out what to do next?" Jolie Sheffer: Thank you both so much.

Mandy Thomas, nutritionist and financial coach and health influencer and motivational expert, Melanie Miller join Leah and Kara this week for Episode 245 of “Low Carb Conversations with Leah Williamson and Kara Halderman”.   Sit back, relax and listen with your budget in hand while Leah and Kara talk with health experts on the latest health headlines! Financial Stress and Your Health    The 15 foods scientists claim will ward off hunger pangs and keep your diet on track     Listen in as Mandy shares her transformational story resolving her severe digestive issues through addressing her finances. She discovered that nutrition is not always the only answer; and she had to take a deeper look at her life to get to the root cause of her problems. Melanie talks about how keto gave her her life back, and eventually went on to start Keto Academy with the one and only Jimmy Moore! Leah, Kara, Melanie and Mandy first discuss a headline related to finances to physical health. Mandy gives examples of how addressing the cause of your stress can resolve the physical symptoms in your life; and gives tangible tips to getting your finances on track. Melanie talks about how she sees stress related illness in her practice all the time and ways to deflect the stress. Leah then reads a conflicting article about which foods are best for warding off hunger. The article pushes that amino acids from animal protein provide the most satiating affect, yet recommends a plant based diet simultaneously. See what they had to say about that one! And remember out secret health headline, it's a sweet treat.
