Who better to take us on this journey than Baratunde Thurston, host of the PBS series “American Outdoors” and the podcast “How To Citizen.” Baratunde has traveled the United States from the Okefenokee Swamp to Death Valley, meeting people of all types and exploring their habitats with them. Baratunde shares his insights – that we Americans love the world around us and nature makes us feel better, both in body and mind.

Can you heal pain by focusing on joy? Baratunde Thurston gave what's been called “the greatest TED talk of all time.” He's written about being Black in America, he's got a podcast about community involvement called How to Citizen, and he's got a television show that explores the beauty and diversity of America. There's a duality running through all of this work, and in Baratunde's personal life: mourning and celebration. From the early death of a parent, to men's emotional health, to violence against Black men and boys, to the healing power of play and community, this week's episode is a fascinating discussion of both grief and celebration - and why you don't get one without the other. In this episode we cover: Baratunde says he's “wired for optimism” - which makes identifying his own grief… complicated Transactional emotions - for example, feeling your grief so you can “get beyond it” The need for Black male role models How you can lose a parent at a young age and not recognize the impact until you're an adult Why seeing other people be good parents can bring up grief What it's like to see violence against people who look like you - over and over and over Black joy and mens' community (plus the hashtag #BlackMenFrolicking) Why is it hard to play as an adult - and find other adults to play with? How to use your powerpoint slides to keep emotions in check (and why Baratunde isn't using slides in his talks anymore) The nature of our interconnectedness as a species and a planet Notable quotes: “I'm looking at other joyful, hopeful ways of being that don't require waiting for someone to (change), or accepting suffering as the main narrative. Those don't fit me anymore. And so I acknowledge parallel paths to freedom - things like joy and silliness.” - Baratunde Thurston “We're about men's business which is stoicism and pain and suppressed human experiences. That's what it is to be a man.” - Baratunde Thurston “My hope is grounded in our creative possibility, in our own creativity. We can be destructively creative, but I also think we can be beautifully, you know - hopefully, creative.” - Baratunde Thurston About our guest: Baratunde Thurston is an Emmy-nominated, multi-platform storyteller and producer operating at the intersection of race, tech, democracy, and climate.

What does it mean to be a citizen of this world, of our community, and of our future? What does “citizen” mean, anyway? And what is the role of schools in growing citizens—or what should it be?The current reality facing schools is one of rapidly changing social and political conditions that affect educators, students, and communities as a whole. Whether it's a question of how personal choices impact collective health, or finding the right balance in helping a school community process and respond to current events, school leaders are grappling with the role of educators in teaching citizen behavior in the classroom. Does our current “civics” curriculum go far enough in helping students identify ways they can become engaged members of a thriving society? Or is “civics” just the tip of the iceberg, leaving the larger topics of developing personal agency and community engagement unexplored in our schools?In this episode, Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon are joined by Baratunde Thurston, award-winning writer, activist, comedian, and host of the podcast How to Citizen With Baratunde. Together, they explore the idea of changing our mindset about the word “citizen,” from engaging with it as a noun to treating it as a verb—a set of guiding principles that can be translated into actions each person can take to contribute to society. Rather than thinking about “citizen” as describing where someone is from, Baratunde argues that we should think about it as describing how people behave as members of a community, and that schools should take an active role in helping students develop proactive citizen behaviors that will serve them, and their communities, well.Baratunde shares his “four pillars” of How to Citizen, as well as personal stories about how his experiences as a student at an independent school shaped his own worldview and citizen behaviors. He also explores ideas about the different ways in which school leaders, educators, and students can understand the concept of power and how both individuals and institutions can exercise power effectively. Lisa, Tim, and Baratunde delve together into questions about how schools can create environments that encourage students to clarify their own perspectives, engage in respectful debate, and find ways to participate in creating the change they want to see in their communities.Some of the key questions Tim and Lisa explore in this interview about growing citizens and developing thriving citizen behaviors at school include:How does teaching students “how to citizen” fit into our broader ideas about the purpose of schools?Why, and how, should school leaders encourage the active teaching of “citizen” as a verb at this particular moment in history?How can schools provide appropriate opportunities for students to practice personal agency and changemaking?What's the difference between teaching civics and teaching citizening—and how can schools become more deliberate about including both?Resource List:Baratunde's Podcast: Listen to How to Citizen, the podcast that inspired Tim and Lisa's conversation with Baratunde about the role of schools in growing citizens.Baratunde's Newsletter: Sign up to get regular updates from Baratunde and learn more about his work.Living While Black: NBC's Brian Williams called Baratunde's TED Talk “one of the greatest of all time.”In This Episode:“I think the founding of public education, citizenship was a key element. And I remember always wondering, like, what did we mean when we said school was a place where we would create citizens? And are we in fact doing that? Have we ever really done it effectively? And for whom or what, who did we think of as a citizen and what opportunities were available?” (2:19)“(To be a citizen) is not just to be born in a certain place and inherit rights and privileges, but to live in this practice of self-government. We're trying to live together. We're trying to live together with a lot of difference and we're trying to rule ourselves. Not be ruled by others.” (3:08)“We're taught your power is your vote. And your vote is your voice. And it's partially true, but it's not the whole story.” (4:49)“It's such a basic concept, but educational institutions are not just there to educate the students. Everyone should be learning. And I think if you're the leader of a school, that does not exempt you from learning, and that's true in every domain where there's this kind of structural power.” (25:01)Full TranscriptAbout Our Guest:Baratunde Thurston holds space for hard and complex conversations with his blend of humor, wisdom, and compassion.

Carl Sagan seemed prophetic in his prediction of where the U.S. was heading. Unfortunately, he hit the nail on the head. MSNBC's Brian Williams referred to a piece with a Carl Sagan message about Star Wars that Dr. Jason Johnson found in his Twitter feed. He then read a prescient quote from Sagan's book "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" that follows. “I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness… The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” The above quote is what we have been talking about for some time now. America currently continues on that path. Most importantly, we must acknowledge that America will likely continue on that path unless we have independent media and activists to mitigate the willful, deliberate, and purposeful misinforming of Americans. It is an uphill battle but a winnable battle many of us intend to win.--- If you like what we do please do the following!
