Author of the Avatar Kyoshi & Avatar Yangchen novels, F.C. Yee, and the novels' audiobook actor/narrator, Nancy Wu, join Janet and Dante to geek out! Together, they discuss team Avatar throughout history, what it's like to expand the Avatarverse with a master like Michael DiMartino, and why ‘The Great Divide' is such an important episode. Nancy talks about the cultural relevance and authenticity she feels as an Asian American and fan of the Avatar series. Then, Dante asks F.C. which of the novels is his favorite (possibly the full box set? *wink wink*), and more importantly, if the Fire Nation will ever receive any love from the books in the future.

In 2018, the writer Ling Ma published Severance, which promptly won several literary prizes but only hit the big time in 2020. The novel follows Candace Chen, who continues to go to her unfulfilling job in the middle of a worldwide pandemic that slowly fills the world with slack-jawed zombies. You can guess why it was popular. This fall, Ma is back with a new collection of stories, Bliss Montage, which imagines a number of other surreal scenarios, such as a drug that makes you invisible, a dream job that just might open a literal door into a dream world, and a manual on Yeti lovemaking. One of Ma's characters lives in an L.A. mansion with her 100 ex-boyfriends; another visits her husband's homeland, where people bury themselves alive in an annual festival in hopes of curing their physical or psychic ills. Bliss Montage's eight stories are, above all, about the fictions we tell ourselves to survive the delusions of modern life.Go beyond the episode:Ling Ma's Bliss MontageRead “Peking Duck” in The New Yorker and more about Ma's time at PlayboyIf you missed the pandemic boat: read Severance (if you're an audiobook fan, Nancy Wu's droll audiobook narration is perfect) and check out the Post45 discussion circle about the novelJeanine Basinger's original formulation of the “bliss montage” in films, from her book A Woman's ViewTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

A key responsibility for anyone in the finance function is closing the company books on a monthly, quarterly and yearly basis. And although to a layperson that may seem like a straightforward process, anyone with an accounting or finance background knows it's anything but. Filled with multiple stakeholders and dependencies, the financial close can be a complicated process for even a small organization. But that complexity can increase algorithmically with the size of the organization. In this episode of the Financial Executive Podcast featuring Nancy Wu at SkyStem, Nancy speaks about the increased use of automation in the financial close and how recent events, like the move to remote working during the COVID-19 pandemic, may have accelerated an already rapidly changing financial close process.

Jarvis Houston, the Organizing and Political Director of Sister District. Jarvis Houston has ten years of advocacy and campaign experience at the local, state, and national levels. He is a lifelong organizer and a proud graduate of Howard University. With armchair analysts portending a dark upcoming decade for Democrats, Jarvis speaks to a positive outcome of the past elections: the shift in political representation across a country and how the political climate is changing for people of color. Election night saw historic wins down ballot for candidates of color: Michelle Wu in Boston, Aftab Pureval in Cincinnati, Eric Adams in New York, and more! These victories are key to progress, but as America continues to shift demographically and Democrats stare down the barrel of the midterms it's clear: demographics do not dictate electoral wins. Jarvis discusses how recent victories are a major step forward for inclusive representation, and explain what it's going to take for Democrats to mobilize voters—demographics aside—ahead of midterms.Nancy: Website, Instagram, Twitter Welcome to Progressive Opinions of Color (POC), a podcast that creates space for people of color in conversations about economics, politics, and culture.

Nancy chats with Ashish Prashar about his time in prison for a non-violent crime, how the prison industrial complex discriminates against BIPOC, and how to move toward prison reform and abolition.When you hear Ashish Prashar's lovely soft spoken British accent, coupled with his intellectual stance on the flawed U.S. prison system, it's really hard to believe he spent an entire year of his life in a dark prison at the young age of 17 for a non-violent crime. Sadly, he's one of thousands of BIPOCs whose lives will forever be impacted by a flawed justice system (minorities rep 80% of those with convictions). Incarceration has a profound effect that reaches far beyond prison itself: Millions of people are needlessly unemployed, underemployed or homeless just because they have a conviction. And did you know more than 75% of jail suicides involve people who had not been convicted of a crime?But today, Ash is a transformational leader, innovator and justice reform activist who prides himself as the first formerly incarcerated individual to rise from reporter to press secretary for high-ranking politicians, to the c-suite of an iconic company (R/GA). Ashish fights the good fight: he's campaigned for bail reform, ending solitary confinement, and the restoration of voting rights. He sits on the boards of Exodus Transitional Community, Getting Out and Staying Out NYC, Just Leadership USA, Leap Confronting Conflict, the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice. He champion's R/GA's second chance hiring programs across its 10+ offices globally. You can also check out his contributed articles to CNN, USA Today, Business Insider, Fast Company – all focused on prison advocacy. Ashish has a lengthy career in politics as Press Secretary to the former Mayor of London, campaign leader for former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, supported President Joe Biden's 2020 US Presidential Campaign, played an integral part of Obama's 2008 US Presidential Campaign, the 2018 Midterms for a variety of Democrat candidates, and much more).Nancy: Website, Instagram, Twitter Welcome to Progressive Opinions of Color (POC), a podcast that creates space for people of color in conversations about economics, politics, and culture.

Today's guest is Greisa Martinez Rosas. She is the executive director of United We Dream (UWD), the largest immigrant youth-led community in the country. Greisa and Nancy talk about immigration reform and Democratic bid to legalize undocumented immigrants and give them a path to citizenship. Greisa also talks about the day to day of UWD and how you can get involved. Originally from Hidalgo, Mexico, Greisa migrated to the U.S. with her parents at a young age and grew up in Texas. While studying Biology at Texas A&M University, she co-founded the first undocumented youth-led organization in the conservative university's more than 100-year history and continues to be a progressive movement leader in the fight for immigrant and racial justice. Under Greisa's fearless leadership, immigrant youth and allies from United We Dream have organized nationwide to ensure Democrats in Congress included a pathway to citizenship for millions in their budget resolution. Now, the fates of approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants are in the hands of Congressional Democrats , where Sen. Schumer is leading the charge in passing a budget that would grant lawful permanent status to undocumented immigrants.

SkyStem's Head of Sales and Support, Nancy Wu, and Aquarion's Corporate Controller, Deb Kirven, explore the challenges facing today's finance and accounting function. Deb and Nancy journey through Aquarion's decision to evaluate and adopt month-end close automation while touching upon topics such as cloud solutions, change leadership and consensus building.
At the end of every month or quarter, credit union finance professionals tackle the close process, or the preparation of the credit union's financial statements for publication. It requires extensive research and reconciliation on the part of the finance team, and completing these tasks manually can be challenging. Nancy Wu, head of sales and customer support for SkyStem, says many credit unions experience pain points in their close processes. This is where automation tools can help to streamline the close process, removing inefficiencies and allowing teams to work more effectively together. For $551 million asset 121 Financial Credit Union in Jacksonville, Florida, implementing automation made the close process easier on the finance team. Chief financial officer Benjamin Munday says this led to smarter ways of working, improved morale, and happier team members. In this episode of the CUNA News Podcast, sponsored by SkyStem, Wu and Munday share best practices for identifying an automation solution that fits your credit union's needs, getting employees on board with new tools and processes, and working through potential challenges like the coronavirus pandemic.
