Inspired by feminist anthem, Beacon Rising marches on Lisa Andretta loves singing in the car but never figured she could be a real vocalist. After joining the Beacon Rising Choir, she found her voice. "When I went to my first rehearsal, I instantly fell in love," she says. "I had no idea something like this existed." The chorus, which started in 2017 with 13 members, now has 70, says founder Gina Samardge. Its next concert is May 18 at Beacon High School. Beacon Rising is a "resistance choir," Samardge says, open to women and nonbinary singers. A feminist anthem from the 2017 women's march in Washington, D.C., "Quiet," by Milck, inspired the choir's formation. The song includes the lyric, "I can't keep quiet for anyone anymore. … Let it out now." Cellphone videos of flash mobs performing to the song went viral and Samardge responded. "I needed to sing it with other women," she says. Her activist roots are reflected in the choir's repertoire, with songs that preach love, acceptance and a fight-the-power attitude such as "The Hymn of Acxiom," by Vienna Teng; "Refugee," by Moira Smiley; "On Children," by Ysaye Barnwell (with lyrics by Khalil Gibran); and "People Have the Power," by Patti Smith. "The 2016 election spawned a lot of choirs," Samardge says. "Singers always tell me that this is a healing force in their lives." A trained music educator and curious musician who lights up when speaking about playing clawhammer banjo, Samardge conducts the choir and arranges some songs. She came to Beacon in 2010 after getting priced out of Brooklyn. "I grew up in a small town in Ohio [Marion] and there is such a stronger community feeling here," she says. Samardge and her husband, musician Andy Reinhardt, who assembles the band that accompanies the choir, are childless by choice. Yet she's touched the lives of many youngsters in Beacon and beyond through Compass Arts, a grassroots organization she founded that runs programs in the schools and from the First Presbyterian Church on Liberty Street. Compass Arts initially rented a 1,000-square-foot space at Beacon Music Factory, then expanded to the church's Fellowship Hall, which features a stage, kitchen and new flooring installed by the nonprofit. In 2023, when the Beacon City School District called with an arts emergency - the middle school drama club had no teacher - she arranged for three visiting artists to structure a 10-week afterschool program teaching dance and choreography, improv and theater games and a glee club-style singing and movement class. "I remember being 18 years old and saying to my mother, 'I only want grandchildren,' and she said, 'Well, that's not how it works,'" Samardge says. "But I was at an event and some teenagers waved to me, and it turned out that they had attended a bunch of [Compass Arts] programs. I realized that somehow, someway, I got my wish. These kids are my temporary grandchildren." Beacon High School is located at 101 Matteawan Road. Tickets to the May 18 concert start at $20 ($10 seniors, teens; $5 ages 6-12; free ages 5 and younger); see compassarts.org/beacon-rising. The doors open at 1 p.m. for a free event with community organizations, a raffle and bake sale, followed by the concert at 2 p.m.

On June 24th 2022 the Supreme Court decided Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization, overturning Roe v Wade and asserting that the Constitution of the United States does not confer a right to abortion. The decision marked a seismic moment in politics and culture that has affected everyone's lives, and the world of pop music is no exception. Musicians started responding immediately, from Cher to Olivia Rodrigo: on social media, at their shows, and in their music. Critic Ann Powers has been chronicling the reactions in a running list at NPR, and she joins in the second half of the episode to talk about the long history of artists speaking out—and singing—about reproductive rights.  One artist who wasted no time responding to the Dobbs decision is the singer and songwriter Connie Lim, aka MILCK. Her song “We Won't Go Back,” composed with Biianco, Autumn Rowe, and Ani DeFranco, came about after Politico published an article in May with the leaked draft of the Dobbs decision, telling the world in no uncertain terms that the Supreme Court was considering striking down Roe. MILCK found herself protesting in D.C., this time with her camera ready. The chants she heard there became the first sonic element of “We Won't Go Back.” Songs Discussed MILCK, Biianco, Autumn Rowe, Ani DeFranco - We Won't Go Back MILCK - Quiet Ani DeFranco - Play God  Poison Girls - Mandy Is Having a Baby Cyndi Lauper - Sally's Pigeons Leslie Gore - You Don't Own Me Robyn - Giving You Back Joni Mitchell - Little Green L7 - Pretend We're Dead Everlast - What It's Like Madonna - Papa Don't Preach Lauryn Hill - To Zion Megan Thee Stallion - Plan B Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever asked yourself: “Who am I? What do I stand for?” Many of us do ask these questions and when we do, it can be a catalyst that sets us on an alternative path - even though we know it might disappoint those around us. Yet, all too often, even when our inner knowing is forcing us to pay attention, life can pull us in the direction of expectations versus desire. We hesitate to follow our curiosity for fear we might let down our family and loved ones. As a result, we stay on course towards what “we're supposed to do”. But it doesn't always have to be this way. Sometimes choosing the new path is just what we need to honor our voice, culture and family. This is why I'm excited to share this conversation with Connie Lim, whose artist name is MILCK for this Best Of Conversation. MILCK rose to widespread attention after a video of an a capella performance of her song "Quiet" on the street at the 2017 Women's March exploded into the public's consciousness going viral and becoming embraced as an anthem for the movement. That moment and the impact and reach of the song led to a major record deal and collaborations as a songwriter that launched the career she's been working to build for years. But that career almost never happened. MILCK grew up in an enclave of LA, the child of immigrants from China, and was drawn to music from her earliest days. She wrote her first song at 7 years old and studied classical piano and opera. Yet the pressure of intense perfectionism and the expectation she'd eventually leave music behind to follow the family tradition into medicine led her into years of profound emotional struggle. Eventually, she hit a point in college where she decided it was time to choose herself over the expectations of others, as well as the burden of perfectionism that had caused so many years of suffering and harm. MILCK left college and went all-in on music, performing as an independent artist for years, slowly building her name, before that fateful day in 2017 that changed everything. She's now deep into writing, producing and performing her own work, while also writing with and for other artists and focusing on not just sharing her own creative voice, but also gathering community and shining the light on truth and inequity along the way.You can find MILCK at: Website | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Justin Tranter about their journey through challenging times as a kid growing up and then stepping into the world of music - first as a musician, and then as a powerhouse songwriter and collaborator.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book Sparked | My New Podcast SPARKEDVisit Our Sponsor Page For a Complete List of Vanity URLs & Discount Codes.Little Stories Everywhere See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Dave Tjiok, CEO und Founder von The Hempany. Das Stuttgarter Startup wirbt mit "Milck" für seine pflanzliche Milchalternative aus Hanfsamen und wurde deswegen angeklagt. Die vier Gründerinnen und Gründer von The Hempany haben vor 10 Monaten eine Alternative zu Kuhmilch entwickelt – hergestellt aus ausgepressten Hanfsamen. Gegründet wurde das Startup von Lena Glässel, Laura Rothgang, Chris Veit und Dave Tjiok. Jedoch Macht vor allem der Name des Produktes hier Probleme, weshalb das Jungunternehmen am Donnerstag vor das Landgericht Stuttgart musste. Ein Urteil soll erst am 10. Februar verkündet werden. Die Richter müssen entscheiden, ob das zu sehr dem geschützten Begriff "Milch" ähnelt und damit gegen die EU-Kennzeichnungsschutz-Verordnung verstößt. Als “Milch” dürfen nur Produkte bezeichnet werden, die aus Eutern von Tieren wie Rindern, Schafen oder Ziegen stammt. Das hat der Europäische Gerichtshof 2017 in einem Urteil festgelegt. Die Richter begründeten es damit, dass eine weit gefasste Auslegung des Gebrauchs von Bezeichnungen für Milchprodukte bei Verbraucherinnen und Verbrauchern Verwirrung stiften könne. Auch der Verweis auf den pflanzlichen Ursprung auf dem Etikett eines Produkts ändere daran nichts, so das Gericht.

Joanne Molinaro was deep into her career as a full-time attorney when she started blogging as The Korean Vegan, a nod to both her heritage and her curiosity about reimagining the cuisine she grew up on. She soon after launched a TikTok account that exploded and, along with her other platforms, boasts over 3.5 million fans. She's appeared on The Food Network and Al Jazeera English, been featured in the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, NPR, and CNN, and has just released her debut cookbook + memoir, The Korean Vegan Cookbook.A Korean American woman, born in Chicago, Joanne's parents were both born in what is now known as North Korea. Their harrowing journey to the states led them to settle in Chicago. From her earliest days, she was deeply aware of inequity and felt an empathic call to advocacy, along with the impulse to help guide people through a process of change. That led her into the law, which remained her central devotion, literally, until the day before we recorded this conversation. Her TikTok (@thekoreanvegan), was started largely as a coping mechanism for the isolation caused by the global pandemic. She began posting content related to politics and life as a lawyer during quarantine. However, after a single post of her making Korean braised potatoes for dinner (while her husband taught a piano lesson in the background) went viral, Joanne shifted her attention to producing 60-second recipe videos while telling stories about her life, family, and the state of the world. She discovered an entirely new channel for advocacy and artistry in this most unusual place, one that both allows millions of people to see themselves in the stories, cultures, and yes, food, of others, and also serves as a powerful mechanism to advocate for inclusivity and change.You can find Joanne at: Website | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode:You'll also love the conversations we had with MILCK about creativity, music, carving your own path and representation.My new book SparkedCheck out our offerings & partners: Theragun: A deep muscle massage treatment, unlike anything you've ever felt.

Welcome to the official one year anniversary of Dive Right In! We are so excited to be sharing this milestone with all of our listeners as we provide exclusive Instagram content, our brand new Newsletter, and this one-of-a-kind commemorative episode! To kick off this episode, we reminisce on why we started our podcast with the goal of creating a community. We speak to how much of a journey this entire experience has been before sharing some hilarious behind the scenes moments! It is so humbling to look back and reflect on our early episodes which have really shaped our podcast today. We then take a walk down memory lane and highlight a few iconic Dive Right In episodes. We first highlight our episode with MILCK where we discuss empowerment, what speaking to MILCK was like, and even listen to a snippet of her episode. We also laugh about some good memories we made while recording with MILCK. It was truly and incredible experience. Next, we look back on our episode with Sophie Frieden, a remarkable Jewish advocate. We highlight how we have grown through interviewing Sophie and the impact she had on our podcast. Our episode with David Leopold was also one for the highlight reel. We take a moment to reflect on how we were feeling gearing up for our episode on immigration with David and how cool it was to talk with him. The last segment we highlight is from Loralei Cook as we discuss the importance of having an episode dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community and how we continue to talk about the episode to this day. A special tribute is also given to Honest + Jazzy and how that prepared us to take the leap to rebrand. It was so fun to look back on all these episodes and talk about the podcast as a whole!

Connie Lim, whose artist name is MILCK, rose to widespread attention after a video of an a capella performance of her song "Quiet" on the street at the 2017 Women's March exploded into the public’s consciousness going viral and becoming embraced as an anthem for the movement. That moment and the impact and reach of the song led to a major record deal and collaborations as a songwriter that launched the career she’s been working to build for years. But that career almost never happened. MILCK grew up in an enclave of LA, the child of immigrants from China, and was drawn to music from her earliest days. She wrote her first song at 7 years old and studied classical piano and opera. Yet the pressure of intense perfectionism and the expectation she’d eventually leave music behind to follow the family tradition into medicine led her into years of profound emotional struggle. Eventually, she hit a point in college where she decided it was time to choose herself over the expectations of others, as well as the burden of perfectionism that had caused so many years of suffering and harm. MILCK left college and went all-in on music, performing as an independent artist for years, slowly building her name, before that fateful day in 2017 that changed everything. She’s now deep into writing, producing and performing her own work, while also writing with and for other artists and focusing on not just sharing her own creative voice, but also gathering community and shining the light on truth and inequity along the way.You can find MILCK at:Website : https://www.somebodysbeloved.com/Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/milckmusic/Check out our offerings & partners: Sleep Number: Adjustable Firmness, Comfort And Support On Each Side.

Together with American Songwriter and Sean Ulbs of The Eiffels, we had the pleasure of interviewing MILCK over Zoom video! For Los Angeles-based singer and multi-instrumentalist MILCK, music is a sanctuary. In her words, “Music is the one place where I can simply be me. When I’m singing my lyrics, I don’t have to be feminine enough, strong enough, American enough, or Asian enough—I can just be a soul that yearns to feel free.”MILCK’s life took a 180 degree turn after a cell phone video of her performing her song “Quiet” with a choir of 25 strangers at the 2017 Women’s March went viral. Soon it was being echoed and interpreted by groups around the world, from the US to Sweden to Ghana. “Quiet” was named Billboard’s #1 protest song of the year and earned distinction as part of NPR’s “American Anthem” series. And in 2018, it brought MILCK to the March’s main stage in New York City, where she performed alongside the legendary Yoko Ono.Having “cemented her status as one of music’s voices for the women’s movement,”  MILCK just released, “Somebody’s Beloved,” a haunting and timely new song she wrote amidst protests for Black Lives Matter. Featuring MILCK’s previous collaborator, Bipolar Sunshine as well as a diverse choir, the song will arrive alongside an equally poignant and moving music video, created in partnership with the TN-based non-profit, One Family Memphis.LISTEN/WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “SOMEBODY’S BELOVED” HERE (under embargo) “When Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Nina Pop, and George Floyd’s murders sparked a global uprising, I faced the harsh reality that as an Asian American woman, I am both a beneficiary of white privilege, and victim of systemic racism. To understand how I could be a more active part of the US’ healing from racial injustices, I started to do more research about systemic racism. As I researched Tamika Palmer and listened to her talk about the memory of her daughter, “Somebody’s Beloved” started coming through me. “Somebody’s Beloved” is a delicate yet powerful song that we hope can at least soften the vitriol that is prevalent in today’s polarized culture.”  – MILCKMILCK first made waves with her global anthem “Quiet” which went viral at the inaugural Women’s March, eventually becoming the sonic parallel to the #MeToo movement and being named Billboard’s #1 protest song of the year. Given the current sociopolitical climate, “Somebody’s Beloved” will surely resonate with everyone fighting for long overdue racial justice in America.We want to hear from you!

Chris Jackson, legendary publisher and Editor-in-Chief of One World, an imprint of Penguin Random House, is here with Valarie Kaur, one of his star authors—or, as he prefers to see his writers, who include Trevor Noah, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Jay-Z, and Mira Jacob, “superheroes.” After all, changing the country is not for the faint of heart, and Chris looks for formidable fighters. Kaur’s unique superpowers as a civil rights activist, lawyer, filmmaker, and author—with degrees from Stanford, Harvard, and Yale—have helped her win policy changes on the multiple fronts of hate crimes and racial profiling, immigration detention and deportation, solitary confinement, surveillance and Internet freedom, and more. But it was her speech in Washington DC at the Metropolitan AME Church in the wake of the divisive 2016 election—a speech where she invited us all to midwife a new nation waiting to be born from the darkness—that catapulted her into the spotlight. It garnered 40 million views and led to this stunning new book, See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love.What an incredible read! Van Jones calls it “a miracle, a blessing, a new paradigm.” Elizabeth Gilbert says: “In a world stricken with fear and turmoil, Valarie Kaur shows us how to summon our deepest wisdom.” I couldn't agree more and couldn’t put it down. Chris Jackson’s list at One World includes some of the most talented writers, humanitarians and activists in the world, including numerous National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize winners. His mission is to bring to the forefront novelists, memoirists, journalists, poets, and artists whose fresh voices challenge or even subvert the status quo and help us reframe how we see our rapidly transforming world. Chris's own writing has appeared in The Paris Review, Callalloo, The Atlantic(.com), and other outlets. You could call Chris and Valarie literary soulmates. Their story, which you’re about to hear, will be a soothing balm for any writer feeling alone and unseen—wondering if and when the rest of their superhero team will ever hear the call. In fact, Valarie had been writing this book for nearly two decades before meeting Chris and had a truckload of journals to prove it. As you’ll see, it was worth the wait! This episode is all about love: Love of ideas. Love for our histories and education—even when interrupted. Love for the systems that support us. And the ones that need to change. It’s also about taking action, even when we’re deeply afraid. Even when all we can do at the moment is love ourselves. Valarie now leads the Revolutionary Love Project, whose aim is to reclaim love as a force for justice in America. I can’t wait for you to get to know her and Chris. My guess is you’ll feel the love. Welcome.PS. To close out this episode, a big thank you, Ani DiFranco and Righteous Babe Records, for allowing us to use a song they produced for this book and the Revolutionary Love movement, coming this fall. It’s aptly called See No Stranger and features Ani DiFranco, Justin Tranter, Ivan Neville, Milck, Raye Zaragoza, Zoe Boekbinder, Princess Shaw, and Gracie and Rachel.PSS.

Good Grief with Cheryl Jones

Sometimes a moment comes when we can no longer stay silent about what we have been through. Then it's time to speak out and claim our own courage and resiliency! Such a moment came for Milck, a musician who had experienced physical and sexual abuse and pressures to meet commodified standards of beauty, especially for her music career. Finding her unique voice led to her song Quiet, an anthem for breaking out of our silence. Then, after the 11/16 election, she felt moved to gather a flash mob and perform the song at the Women's March. In a serendipitous twist of fate, filmmaker Alma Har'el captured one of the performances, propelling the song into a viral explosion! Now, Milck has created www.icantkeepquiet.org, to collect stories and create a movement while supporting the work of Step Up, which serves at risk girls.
