Psalm 16:11

Luís Gimenez, mais conhecido como Balu, é brasileiro, mas vive há 20 anos em Sydney, na Austrália. Balu começou por trabalhar num talho, mas tem hoje o próprio negócio.

Edith Targonski arrived to the United States from Peru when she was 19 years old. Her sister had arrived a few years before and she was so happy about being reunited with her, but unhappy to speak English. She had visited the U.S. numerous times prior to her move but didn't know much English and lacked confidence in her speaking skills. She soon met a fellow immigrant from Poland, who arrived at 17 years old with his parents. They fell in love and got married. Edith and her husband created a beautiful family blending and honoring their individual cultures from South America and Poland, while building their own family traditions. They learned English and raised their children in an English speaking household but also exposed their children to Spanish and Polish for them to have the opportunity to communicate with their grandparents and broaden their horizons. Since arriving twenty seven years ago, Edith has been very motivated to learn, grow her career and serve the community. She earned a special education degree from Sacred Heart Univ, and was an effective classroom teacher for many years. Currently, she serves as a passionate advocate for families who have children with special needs. She is a business development consultant. She has been a dedicated volunteer to many organizations, giving credit to her father for her need to give back and learning this from watching him. She has graduated about 9 senior citizens who have achieved citizenship under her tutelage at the Stamford Senior Center. She currently serves in the role of Editor-in-Chief of Latincolors magazine, which is a bilingual magazine that is widely circulated throughout Fairfield County, CT. and Westchester County, NY. The mission of Latincolors is to bridge both geographical and cultural communities and celebrate the accomplishments and endeavors of the people, agencies, groups and organizations making a positive impact in the community. It is available in both English and Spanish and is a free publication and available online. Like many other guests on the podcast, she was enrolled in the PLTI (Parent Leadership Training Institute). She has been a facilitator for People Empowering People-PEP and currently serves on the Design Team. In addition, she serves on numerous other boards in the community, all of them serving the immigrant and Latin communities in different ways, while raising her 3 children to be passionate, giving and kind people.

John 16:12-15

Alvin and German conduct a great conversation with actor, educator, and creative visionary Aaron Morton '03. A dynamic presence in both performance and pedagogy, Aaron's career bridges the worlds of television, film, theater, and education—always with a commitment to uplifting voices that are too often left out of the frame. As an actor, Aaron has worked with groundbreaking creators including Ava DuVernay and Lena Waithe, and gravitates toward bold, character-driven narratives. His work spans a wide range of mediums, from commercials and video games to stage and screen, grounded in a deep foundation of classical technique and contemporary realism. Off the stage, Aaron brings the same passion to the classroom as an Acting Professor at BMCC and Marymount Manhattan College, where he is dedicated to training the next generation of performers with a focus on authenticity, personal storytelling, and craft. His commitment to representation in the arts also led him to found Bridge To Reality, a nonprofit that mentors high school students of color and aims to expand their access to careers in the arts. After Colgate, he continued to hone his craft, earning an MFA in Acting from Columbia University. At Colgate, Arron earned a B.S. in Computer Science, was a four-year student-athlete on the football team during a historic era, and a proud member of The Commission.

Vicki and Krystel return for part 2 of their conversation on building multicultural skills into any counseling approach. In part 1, they explored cultural humility and intersectionality.

In this unplanned but timely episode, Ken & Kris take a detour from their scheduled topic to explore a powerful truth: everyone has a backstory. Whether it's pain, struggle, hope, or transformation—there's always more beneath the surface.Centered around the idea that “stories tell the story,” this conversation dives into the role of personal history in shaping how people receive (or resist) the message of Jesus. The better way of Jesus isn't just taught—it's lived out in the real, messy, meaningful narratives of everyday people.You'll hear reflections on how empathy opens doors for evangelism, why leading with compassion matters, and how understanding someone's backstory can reveal the best way to share the gospel.

New Federal Multicultural Minister Anne Aly says that social cohesion is not entirely up to multicultural communities. It comes as the government announced plans to open an Office for Multicultural Affairs to sit within the Home Affairs Department. But it falls short of a landmark report's recommendation to create a standalone department for Multicultural Affairs, Immigration and Citizenship, which also raised concerns about how migrant communities feel they are being monitored, rather than supported, by the Home Affairs department.

Acts 1:6-11

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. In this week's episode, Emily interviews painter and muralist Oscar Lopez. Oscar shares his journey from growing up in Mexico City, where graffiti first introduced him to art, to becoming an established artist in California. He talks about his murals honoring farm workers, his shift from computer science to art, and the challenges he faced as a minority artist. Oscar also discusses the importance of believing in oneself and the struggle with self-identity as an artist. His works are currently displayed at the Institute of Contemporary Art in San Jose and Fort Mason in San Francisco.About Artist Oscar Lopez in His Own Words:I am visual artist born and raised in Mexico City, where I first came into contact of the art world  in the Graffiti urban art scene. After immigrating to the USA to San Francisco, Bay area (Silicon Valley),  focusing on trying to understand our complex society through a Mexican immigrant's lens in the USA. As a Mexican native who has being affected by the influence and the interruption of my culture by international immigrants and trends of imperialistic organizations. I use a critical eye to engage with the globalization, imperialism, and capitalism that affect every corner of the two nations that share my soul. My concerns are reflected in a dialogue of the Stockholm syndrome symptoms created by the oppression and discrimination of imperialistic orders. In both sides of the border this is having a bigger impact in minorities, people of color and the workers that hold entire nations that also suffer of social and cultural amnesia. In order to survive in these societies built on the foundations of white supremacy and colonialism our ancestors have been forced for generations to either hide, directly confront, or sympathize with our oppressors, resulting in a mass forgetting of cultural and social practices. As our cultural identity and practices have been suppressed we have become hostages in our own homeland. Our collective social and culture amnesia continues to affect people of color on both sides of the border.The globalization of multicultural problems such as classism, racism, and inequality affect the social and psychological side of humanity. Since we so easily forget where we come from as individuals, as an artist I choose to remember, honor, and reclaim those roots and rights. Multicultural problems affect how we see ourselves in comparison to others, in a disengagement with our history, and in a loss of our customs. Even the color of our skin is a source of contention. These problems are intangible, invisible for many. As an artist, I want to create tangible images that reflect our psychological symptoms and demand us to confront our submission to the powers that hold us.Visit Oscar's Website:  ArtByOscarLopez.comFollow  on Instagram:  @OscarLopezArtFor more on his mural at Fort Mason, CLICK HERE. For more on his mural at the ICA San Jose, CLICK HERE. --About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

Since May is both Mental Health Awareness Month and Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we think it's fitting to reshare this episode with Jane W. Wang. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/jane-w-wang-navigates-a-multicultural-heros-journey-classic-ep-312/ What we really appreciate about this interview with Jane back in 2021 is how she spoke so openly about how she dealt with her bouts of depression. She also shared how getting back in touch with her roots in Taiwan had a part in leading her to start her coaching practice. While she no longer offers the Multicultural Hero's Journey course that she refers to in this episode, she is still actively coaching clients. It's our hope that Jane's personal story can help destigmatize mental health and create more understanding about the coaching profession.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   Jane's connection to Taiwan How being a third culture kid (TCK) has shaped her identity and life purpose Her career path before becoming a coach Why she wanted to become a coach Her personal journey, the struggles and depression that she dealt with along the way before she became a coach Why she decided not to get a degree in counseling from Columbia University and instead got certified in coaching What is coaching and how it differs from counseling or psychotherapy Jane's own experiences with coaching, being the person being coached by someone else Jane's advice on how to pick a coach to work with The challenges Jane faced in becoming a coach The depression and imposter syndrome she experienced in the process of becoming a coach How Jane dealt with her self-judgment and learned to love herself How Jane dealt with three bouts of depression What she learned from going through depression How someone can identify whether or not they themselves or someone they know is experiencing depression How Jane created her Multicultural Hero's Journey coaching program Who would benefit the most by going through the Multicultural Hero's Journey coaching program Jane's advice for people who are interested in becoming a coach What it takes to be a good coach   Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/jane-w-wang-navigates-a-multicultural-heros-journey-classic-ep-312/

John 21:1-19

Sitars and Symphonies: LA Composer Reena Esmail Fuses Indian Ragas with Western Rhythms We continue our California composers series with Reena Esmail. Her childhood in Los Angeles had two soundtracks: the Western classical music her parents loved, and the old, scratchy Bollywood tapes her paternal grandparents would play over and over. Those multicultural influences shaped what would become the driving question of her work: how do you invite people from different cultures onto the same stage to build a relationship and create music together? Composing is how Esmail has made her mark — by putting Western classical musicians in conversation with Indian artists, building bridges between violinists and sitar players, tabla drummers and western singers. She's an artist in residence with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, has composed with unhoused singers from Skid Row, and her music has been performed by major orchestras and choirs all over the world. How a UC Berkeley Professor Confronts Division With a Vision for Belonging Professor john a. powell spent much of his early life feeling like he didn't belong. At just 11 years old, he became estranged from his deeply religious family. After questioning church doctrine and not getting the answers he was looking for, powell — who spells his name in lowercase — left the church, and his father did not speak to him for five years. But that pivotal moment was the beginning of the path that led him to his life's work. powell is the director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley, where he's also a professor of law, African American studies and ethnic studies. He's the author of two recent books, “Belonging Without Othering,” and “The Power of Bridging.” powell spoke with host Sasha Khokha as part of our series on Californians and resilience.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In a culture that celebrates hustle, productivity, and packed schedules, it's easy to mistake motion for meaning. But what happens when you're doing all the right things outwardly—serving, working, leading—yet feel spiritually dry, emotionally disconnected, or inwardly empty?In this episode, we explore the sobering reality of being busy but barren. We'll unpack how a neglected inner life can undermine even the most active ministry or disciplined lifestyle, and why true discipleship must begin with the soul.You'll hear practical insights on how to:    •    Recognize the signs of a barren heart masked by busyness    •    Recenter your life around intimacy with Jesus, not just activity for Him    •    Embrace spiritual practices that anchor identity, healing, and growth    •    Restore fruitfulness through surrender, stillness, and inner transformationIf your hands are full but your heart feels empty, this conversation is for you. It's time to let Jesus disciple the part of you no one sees—so that what flows from your life is not just effort, but lasting Kingdom impact.

Have you ever thought about how stories can shape the way children see themselves and their families?This week's episode celebrates the power of representation in children's literature and the importance of honoring our stories, especially the stories of hardworking immigrant families.

She has worked with Federal, State, and County-funded programs and the Family Child Care Network in Southern California.
