durée : 00:05:02 - La lutte enchantée - par : Camille Crosnier - Chef du gouvernement de l'île de La Barbade depuis 2018, cette avocate détonne sur la scène internationale où elle n'hésite pas à interpeller ses homologues sur l'inertie face à la crise climatique. Elle voudrait même rencontrer Donald Trump en face-à-face.

In the time since she became Prime Minister of Barbados in 2018, Mia Mottley has become known as a moral force for action on climate change. The Bridgetown Initiative, which she launched at COP26 in 2021, transformed the conversation around climate finance – pushing rich nations to do more to support developing countries struggling with the impact of climate change. But as the US retreats from climate action, her bold vision faces new challenges. At the Sustainable Energy for All Global Forum in Barbados, she tells Akshat Rathi why she remains optimistic, and she spoke about the role of pragmatism in tackling the climate challenge.

Recorded Live at the UK COP Pavilion and moderated by Tom, ‘From Call to Action: the Bridgetown Initiative and delivering Global Financial System Reform' is an inspiring conversation between Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley and Foreign Secretary, UK, David Lammy. Mia Mottley called the world to action when she released the initial Bridgetown Initiative at UNGA in 2022. Now in its third iteration, the Bridgetown Initiative brings together an ambitious and holistic set of calls for reforms to make the Global Financial System more inclusive, more shock-responsive, and better scaled to meet the financing challenges and needs for developing countries. The UK is ready to stand up to face those challenges head-on. As a G7 country with the largest sustainable financial centre in the world, a track-record of delivering financial innovations and influencing the global debate, a key voice in the governance of the System, the UK has a strong track-record and platform to deliver. And deliver we must: the global financial system needs to deliver a fairer deal for developing countries. This conversation is a frank discussion between two leading voices to understand the problems, identify solutions, and drive reforms to create a world free of poverty on a liveable planet. Huge thanks goes to UK COP Pavilion for allowing us to use their audio recording of this conversation.

“How can survivors feel safer in a new romantic or sexual relationship? Survivors should consider practicing cautious optimism. First dates can be exciting, encouraging, and nerve-wracking, but it's also critical for a survivor to trust their gut when red flags emerge. And, the wise and common advice still applies: Meeting in a public place when just starting to date someone can offer an easy exit and prevent strong feelings of vulnerability. It's also critical for survivors to develop a definition of consent and consider their boundaries when it comes to different and/or new sexual activities. Examining feelings of shame and victim-blaming with a professional can be one of the biggest steps in developing these boundaries. How can partners support survivors? “Partners can be supportive by educating themselves on how survivorship can affect sex,” Mottley explains. “It's important to understand the survivor's needs and triggers. It may take some patience.” As always, communication is the best place to start, though it is up to the survivor to disclose and begin the conversation. “I think it's great to agree on some communication methods (verbal and nonverbal) and check in regularly (before, during and after),” she continues. “I am a firm believer in survivor-centered approaches, so being open and honoring where the survivor is at any given moment is essential.” Already a taboo topic in many communities, sex can be tricky to discuss in the healthiest of situations; for assault survivors, this stigma might feel magnified. Partners can help by practicing clear, proactive communication that affirms the survivor's experience, articulates the boundaries of the relationship, and offers a willingness to be patient. For example, a good message might sound something like, “I understand how your experiences might make sex difficult, but I want you to know that I respect your boundaries and am willing to wait as long as you need to begin exploring this.” At the end of the day, however, the most well-meaning partner cannot heal a survivor's trauma. The return to sex and romance isn't a matter of outside reassurance and needs to prioritize the inner-struggle of the survivor.” -https://www.caase.org/sex-after-sexual-assault/. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

“From polyamory to asexuality, a genuine sense of sexuality and emotional health should belong to everyone. Survivors, however, often face higher obstacles and rockier terrain when it comes to reclaiming sex and/or romance after harm. While every situation is unique, we talked to experts and gathered answers to common questions survivors have while healing these parts of their identity. What are the first steps a survivor should take when they feel ready to recover their sexuality? “It definitely depends on where they're at in their healing journey, but I think a great first step is always developing awareness around their relationship with sex and sexuality,” says LeChae Mottley, a trauma therapist at Resilience. “It's also good to take some time to reflect on messaging you've received around sex and sexuality throughout your life.” She also encourages survivors to explore masturbation when they feel comfortable doing so. Solo sex can be a means of therapeutic self-discovery. “For many clients, I like to think of solo sex and partnered sex separately. Solo sex can be a great way to explore likes, dislikes, and triggers. One activity that may be helpful is developing a scale to document triggers, body sensations and emotions that come with sex,” she continues. “By ranking different activities, survivors can allow themselves to explore the safer end of the spectrum and move up from there.” What kind of sexual challenges do survivors face? To put things simply, it's complicated. “It really depends on the survivor. Sexual challenges are generally on a spectrum. On one end, folks may find themselves increasing sexual activity and on the other end some may have a deep aversion to sex,” Mottley says. “And of course, most will likely be somewhere in between.” Specific challenges can include inability to get aroused, lack of interest in sex, inability to experience pleasure or sexual experiences that are higher risk. All challenges are valid and depend on different factors.” https://www.caase.org/sex-after-sexual-assault/. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

President Xi Jinping reaffirmed on Tuesday Beijing's commitment to high-level opening-up, advancing Belt and Road cooperation and upholding true multilateralism, during separate meetings with heads of government from four countries.The president met in Beijing with the prime ministers of Barbados, New Zealand, Mongolia and Vietnam on the sidelines of the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as the Summer Davos Forum, during their official visits to China.He welcomed the countries to share opportunities from China's high-quality growth as the nation moves forward on its own pathway to modernization.BarbadosDuring his meeting with Barbados' Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, Xi said the fact that Beijing is moving forward with Chinese modernization through high-quality development will usher in new opportunities for the Eastern Caribbean country and bilateral cooperation.He called on both sides to deepen political mutual trust and support each other on issues related to each other's core interests and major concerns.It is important for Beijing and Barbados, as two developing nations, to expand pragmatic cooperation and take advantage of the opportunities presented by the joint building of the Belt and Road, in order to advance cooperation on infrastructure development, digital economy, climate change, renewable energy, agriculture and healthcare, Xi said.He appealed for greater unity and cooperation in the developing world to practice true multilateralism, oppose Cold War mentality and bloc confrontation, and safeguard the basic norms of international relations and fairness and justice in the international arena.Xi expressed China's "full understanding" of the concerns of small island developing states like Barbados regarding climate change, and he pledged to further enhance South-South cooperation in this regard, providing assistance and support to developing countries.Mottley applauded China's achievements in poverty eradication and enhancement of public well-being, saying that the Global Development Initiative proposed by the Chinese president "demonstrated outstanding global leadership" and will contribute to common prosperity and development for all nations and people, as well as to better tackling of global challenges.Barbados hopes to strengthen cooperation with China on the response to climate change, as well as water resources, healthcare and tackling the digital divide, she said, adding that her country opposes decoupling or the severing of supply chains.New ZealandIn talks with New Zealand's Prime Minister Chris Hipkins, President Xi underscored that China's efforts to seek self-reliance and self-improvement are never about closing its doors, but rather about better connecting its domestic and international markets.China, with its vast land and huge population, can only seek its development based on its own strength, he told Hipkins, who is making his first visit to Beijing since taking office in January.An open China is crucial to achieving its modernization, Xi said, adding that Beijing will remain unwavering in advancing high-level opening-up and better protecting the legitimate interests of foreign investors.Xi reiterated that China considers New Zealand a friend and partner, expressing willingness to work together with New Zealand to embark on a new era in bilateral relations and ensure the long-term stability and progress of the bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership.The two sides should continue to see each other as partners instead of rivals and opportunities rather than threats, and should consolidate the foundation for bilateral relations, he said.He highlighted the implementation of the upgraded version of the China-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement, as well as promoting trade and investment liberalization and facilitation and providing a better business environment for each other's enterprises.The two nations should jointly uphold true multilateralism and the free trade system and jointly respond to global challenges such as climate change, he said.Hipkins said his country attaches great importance to ties with China, and he called upon both sides to continue deepening cooperation in economy, trade, education, science and technology, and people-to-people exchanges.Differences should not define the bilateral relations, and what is important is to maintain candid exchanges and mutual respect and put aside differences while seeking common ground, he said.MongoliaPresident Xi highlighted the need for China and Mongolia to adhere to mutual respect for national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as respect for the development path independently chosen by each country, and to support each other on issues concerning their core interests and major concerns.He told visiting Mongolian Prime Minister Luvsannamsrai Oyun-Erdene that developing long-term, good-neighborly relations is a strategic choice made by both countries and fully caters to the fundamental interests of the two peoples.Noting that China is a partner that Mongolia can trust and rely on, Xi said that the nation is willing to continuously deepen friendly relations with Mongolia, strengthen mutual trust and cooperation and inject more stability and certainty into the region and the world.He said that China actively advances global environmental governance and is willing to cooperate with Mongolia on desertification control.Saying that China and Mongolia are both developing countries with broad common interests and similar standpoints on international and regional affairs, Xi underlined the need for both countries to firmly defend multilateralism and build a new type of international relations based on mutual respect, fairness, justice, cooperation and win-win results.Oyun-Erdene said that Mongolia adheres to the one-China principle and supports China's stance on the Taiwan question as well as issues related to Tibet and Xinjiang.Mongolia supports the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, all proposed by Xi, and is willing to work closely with China to continue to respect and support each other's choice of development paths and the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road.VietnamPresident Xi called for China and Vietnam to jointly oppose decoupling, disruption of industrial and supply chains and the act of politicizing economic and technological issues, in order to uphold international fairness and justice, during talks with Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.While enhancing bilateral cooperation, the two countries should jointly safeguard their own development rights and interests, and promote the international order becoming more just and reasonable, creating a peaceful and stable external environment for the modernization drive of both nations, he said.Facing the increasingly grave and complex international situation, China and Vietnam should uphold the spirit of equality, mutual benefit, solidarity and cooperation, join hands to seek common development, and inject greater stability into a world full of challenges, Xi said.He called on China and Vietnam, both socialist countries, to enhance the quality of joint building of the Belt and Road, strengthen the alignment of their development strategies, give play to their complementary advantages, and accelerate pragmatic cooperation in fields such as infrastructure, smart customs and green energy.The Vietnamese prime minister said that the sustained and stable development of the Vietnam-China relationship has always been the strategic choice and top priority of the Vietnamese party and government.Vietnam firmly pursues the one-China policy and supports China's accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, he said.He added that Vietnam opposes the politicization of economic issues and is willing to work closely with China to prevent and respond to various risks and challenges and avoid any forces that would divide the Vietnam-China relationship.Reporter: Xu Wei and Cao Desheng

Leila Mottley discusses her best-selling debut novel, Nightcrawling, with Mitchell S. Jackson at 2022 #PDXBookFest.

Youngest ever Booker prize nominee, Leila Mottley, wrote most of Nightcrawling, when she was just 17! Graham finds out how she did it and we discover if our clubbers love it as much as the judges (and Oprah) did. Plus, comedian Al Murray's passion for World War II history has resulted in a book to Command our attention and Sara Collins is in prize-winning mood with another set of ‘first-class' recommendations.IMPORTANT NOTE: Nightcrawling by Leila Motley contains references to violence that some people might find upsetting. It also talks about sex work, which might not be a suitable topic for younger listeners.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Author Leila Mottley discusses her critically acclaimed debut novel, Nightcrawling, which she wrote at 17, why she feels like her age was an advantage in telling this story, and why she's not sweating that she's never read The Great Gatsby.

Inspired by a true story from Oakland, California, Leila Mottley's first novel follows a young Black girl who is sexually abused by a group of police officers. Kiara is a 17-year-old girl who comes from a fractured, poor family, and the novel follows her story as she attempts to survive and thrive navigating so much with so little protection. In an interview with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe, Mottley talked about the rich internal world she created for her main character, adding nuance to the storylines of poor characters, and the media coverage of the case that inspired her book.

Our guest this episode is Oakland's young rising star author Leila Mottley, who at just 20 years old published a bestselling novel called Nightcrawling, whose story is grounded in a trafficking and rape scandal by the Oakland Police department. Just a few years ago our guest was Oakland's youth poet laureate, and catapulting into the spotlight, she's now become the youngest author to ever be selected for Oprah's book club.

For many countries in the Global South, tackling today's interlocking crises – climate change, the pandemic, the rising cost of living supercharged by Russia's invasion of Ukraine – is made practically impossible by sky-high interest rates on runaway government debt. Enter Barbados.  No world leader is being invoked more at the moment than Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Mottley, along with her ambitious plan to change the global financial system to end crippling debt and build climate resilience: the Bridgetown Agenda.  For this episode of our podcast, Rethinking Humanitarianism, host Heba Aly sits down with two people close to the plan: Avinash Persaud, Mottley's special envoy on finance and investment; and François Jackman, the island nation's UN ambassador. Launched in September, the Bridgetown Initiative (as it is also known) lays out a step-by-step roadmap that begins by pressing the International Monetary Fund and other international financial institutions to unlock financing on more palatable terms for crisis-hit countries so they can better prevent and respond to disasters. It also calls for the setting up of a global mechanism to accelerate private sector investment in mitigation and reconstruction. Can this tiny Caribbean country of 300,000 people reform the international architecture around debt and disaster relief? ————— If you've got thoughts on this episode, write to us or send us a voice note at podcast@thenewhumanitarian.org.  SHOW NOTES COP27: Diplomatic baby steps amid mounting humanitarian crises Loss and damage: Views from the ground at COP27 The 2022 Bridgetown Agenda for the Reform of the Global Financial Architecture | Barbados Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade| At the UN General Assembly, calls for fairer global governance grow louder The Barbadian Proposal Turning Heads at COP27 | Foreign Policy The Barbados Rebellion: An Island Nation's Fight for Climate Justice - The New York Times

After her rent skyrockets, Kiara turns to sex work to stave off homelessness. She soon finds herself in the […]

A native of Oakland, California, Leila Mottley uses her writing as a tool to call for social justice reform and advocate for victims of sexual violence. Her acclaimed poetry has appeared in Oprah Daily and The New York Times, and her incandescent debut novel Nightcrawling was selected by Oprah Winfrey for her 2022 Book Club, making Mottley - who is 20 - the club's youngest author ever. Inspired by true stories of the exploitation of young women by police departments in the United States, including a 2015 case in Oakland and its subsequent cover-up, the book has earned widespread acclaim. “Leila Mottley's writing erupts and flows like lava,” writes Tommy Orange, “makes hot bright an Oakland that runs the city's uncontrollable brilliance… Nightcrawling bursts at the seams of every page and swallows you whole.” On October 6, 2022, Leila Mottley came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco for an on-stage conversation with Michelle Lee. The program was a co-presentation with Youth Speaks.

From the audiobook's opening line, Joniece Abbott-Pratt's narration creates an immersive listening experience. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile contributor Kendra Winchester discuss this impressive debut novel from Leila Mottley. Abbott-Pratt perfectly embodies the first-person perspective of Kiara, a high school dropout living with her older brother. Their father is dead, and their mother is gone, so they only have each other. With Abbott-Pratt's empathetic understanding of the characters, she creates one of the most moving and emotionally intimate audiobooks of the year.

Candide was Voltaire's riposte to the philosophy of Rousseau and others, which opines that all that happens in the world is for the best. Neville Jason reads this razor-sharp satire.

Oakland's 2018 Youth Poet Laureate Leila Mottley joins us to discuss her debut novel, Nightcrawling. The work, already an Oprah's Book Club Pick, has been described as “dazzling” and Leila has been named a New York Times “writer to watch.”

Seventeen-year-old Kiara shoulders too much responsibility. Her father recently died after being released from prison. Her mother is in a halfway house. Her brother avoids obligation, preferring to seek fame as a star rapper. And then there's Trevor, the nine-year-old boy who lives next door, who's been abandoned by his crack-addicted mother — but not Kiara. Leila Mottley's debut novel, “Nightcrawling,” deftly portrays the swirl of poverty and trauma Kiara faces in her Oakland apartment, which has a pool filled with putrid water and dog excrement at its center. Written when Mottley herself was only 17, it's a story that riffs off real-life events of police corruption and sexual abuse. Oprah chose “Nightcrawling” as her latest Book Club pick, catapulting Mottley's novel to the top of the best-seller charts. On Friday, MPR host Kerri Miller talked with Mottley about what she learned while writing “Nightcrawling” in her spare time between high school classes and the heavy and often unseen burdens young Black girls carry in America. Guest: Leila Mottley is the author of “Nightcrawling,” an Oprah's Book Club selection and a New York Times best seller. This is her first novel.

Inspired by a true story from Oakland, California, Leila Mottley's first novel follows a young Black girl who is sexually abused by a group of police officers. Kiara is a 17-year-old girl who comes from a fractured, poor family, and the novel follows her story as she attempts to survive and thrive navigating so much with so little protection. In an interview with Ayesha Roscoe on Weekend Edition Sunday, Mottley talked about the rich internal world she created for her main character, adding nuance to the storylines of poor characters, and the media coverage of the case that inspired her book.
