“I don't have time to read…” -- “I don't know what to read…” -- “Can I just watch the movie version instead…” -- “Reading is just too much work…” -- “I don't like reading since it was forced when I was a kid…” According to national surveys, these are the top five reasons adults don't read regularly. March is National Reading Month. And while the focus is for all ages to enjoy reading, there's usually a bigger focus on children. But what about adults? Why should they read? How do you ditch the distractions or past experiences blocking you from reading? And how do we find reading material that will interest me?

Hello and welcome back! On today's episode of the Orton-Gillingham Podcast, Katie and Esther share tips on how to “spring forward” through springtime burnout that affects teachers and students.   But first, we have a contest winner to announce!  March was National Reading Month and Brainspring rolled out a contest for a chance for listeners to win a $500 donation to a library of their choosing. To enter, listeners were to comment on our Facebook contest post the book they are currently reading. Names were collected and placed into festive Easter eggs to be drawn on this episode of our contest.   We drew the name, and the lucky winner is...   FRINZETTA BOMAN!   Congratulations, Frinzetta! Marketing will be reaching out to you soon to set up a donation of $500 to a library of your choosing from Brainspring.    Now back to the topic at hand. Have you ever experienced springtime burnout? Around this time of year, the weather is getting nicer (hopefully) and it's darker later, and teachers and students are preparing to finish up the school year. There's end of the school year meetings, events, testing, and if you're dealing with a senior in high school especially, all motivation has gone out the window. Because of this, it's important to take some time out of your busy schedules to take care of yourselves and de-stress. How exactly do we do that? We have some ideas! As you may have noticed, our hosts are dressed and ready for a spa day! They have their robes on, hair pulled back, and ready for some self-care. Join in on the fun by having your own spa day by breaking out the face masks, candles, and wine (for adults only, in moderation!) and get ready for a well-deserved break from springtime burnout chaos. Spa days not your thing? Don't worry, we have more ideas! Reading is a great way to escape from reality for a bit. If you are itching to keep your hands busy, you can try doodling or some children and adult coloring books as well. And another great way to keep your hands busy while de-stressing is gardening, which is perfect since Earth Day is just around the corner. It's also a great way to get some sunshine since the weather is nicer! If you are a canine lover, this next tip is PERFECT for you. Petting a dog can help de-stress after a long day, and we demonstrate with our furry friend, Gimbal! Gimbal is a sweet Australian Shephard who we had the pleasure of meeting in the studio. He was such a great costar for this episode! Last but certainly not least, one of the best ways to de-stress is just spending time with those closest to you. Get a group of friends together and play some games or partake in any of the ideas listed above! The big point we are trying to get across is that it is important to take some time to de-stress and take care of our mental health, especially during such a time where a lot of us are struggling with springtime burnout. In our next episode, we will be diving deeper into the subject of mental health and the importance of it, but for now we hope these tips will help you out!   Don't forget to check us out on our social media platforms to stay up to date on all Brainspring news and check out our YouTube channel to see footage of Gimbal with our hosts during this episode.   Have any questions or comments you would like to share?

As Women's History Month and National Reading Month comes to a close, it's important to take a moment to reflect on the remarkable achievements of women throughout history. One woman whose story deserves recognition is Shirley Verrett, an African American opera singer who broke barriers in the music industry.Verrett's life and career are chronicled in the book "I Never Walk Alone: The Autobiography of Shirley Verrett," co-written by today's guest, Dr. Christopher A. Brooks. This inspiring memoir details Verrett's journey from her humble beginnings in Louisiana to her rise as one of the most celebrated opera singers of her time. Throughout her career, Verrett faced many challenges, including racism and discrimination. She was often told that she could not perform certain roles because of the color of her skin. Despite these obstacles, Verrett persevered, paving the way for future generations of African American singers.As an internationally-recognized biographer, Christopher Brooks has produced several book-length manuscripts including I Never Walked Alone: The Autobiography of an American Singer (with the late Shirley Verrett, John Wiley 2003 now available in Kindle version, 2011); Follow Your Heart: Moving with the Giants of Jazz, Swing and Rhythm and Blues (with Joe Evans, University of Illinois Press 2008; second paperback edition, February 2011), and Dangerous Intimacy: Ten African American Men with HIV (with Christopher Coleman, Linus Publications, June 2009). In "I Never Walk Alone," Verrett shares her struggles and triumphs with candor and grace. Her journey serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of breaking down barriers. The book is filled with behind-the-scenes tales of this diva's great performances, roles, and collaborations, offering insight into her stormy personal relationships as well as her private struggles and critical decisions. Featuring forewords by such figures as Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Zubin Mehta, and Claudio Abbado, this richly detailed book paints a vivid picture of a magnificent survivor and an indelible artist known around the world as the black Maria Callas. Her story reminds us that, even in the face of adversity, we can achieve great things.Dr. Brooks provides valuable insight and context throughout the book. His contributions shed light on the cultural and historical significance of Verrett's accomplishments, and his collaboration with Verrett gives readers a deeper understanding of her story.As we celebrate the end of Women's History Month, let us remember the trailblazing women who have made a significant impact in their fields, like Shirley Verrett. Let us honor their achievements and continue to strive for a more equitable and just world for all.Become a Box Office Circle subscription member for access to the video with a presentation about the life of Shirley Verrett by Dr. Brooks!

Motorists in Austell pulled over for faulty tail lights, broken rearview mirrors or other damage to their cars could now be in for a gift card instead of a ticket. Thanks to a partnership between Advance Auto Parts and the Austell Police Department, officers responsible for traffic citations have $500 worth of gift cards from the auto shop. Instead of making drivers pay, the city will pay drivers to be safer on the road, giving them a gift card to fund repairs so that they comply with the law. Austell Police Chief Scott Hamilton was joined by other officers in the city's police department Thursday at the Advance Auto Parts on Veterans Memorial Highway to announce the collaboration. Mark Strenta, an Advance Auto Parts vice president, said this is the company's first partnership with any Cobb city, and the first to happen in one west of Atlanta. Advance Auto Parts already has similar partnerships with Sandy Springs and Lilburn, and Strenta hopes to expand to Peachtree City soon. Cobb County leaders were in the schools Thursday to read to students as part of Read Across America Day. Established by the National Education Association in 1998, Read Across America now offers year-round programming to encourage reading among students, and it does so by promoting books that students can both see themselves reflected in, as well as those that present experiences that may be different from their own. It also still marks March 2 as Read Across America Day, and all of March is National Reading Month. Smyrna Mayor Derek Norton read to fourth-grade students at Norton Park Elementary to recognize the event. As part of her “Read Across Cobb tour,” Cobb school board Nichelle Davis read to “Smyrna Elementary STARS” to celebrate the day. Another Cobb school board member, Leroy Tre' Hutchins, read to students at Riverside Elementary in Mableton.  Kennesaw State used three straight 3-pointers deep into the shot clock, including what may have been the biggest shot in the program's Division I history, to hold off Lipscomb 80-71 in the semifinals of the ASUN tournament at the KSU Convocation Center on Thursday. The Owls will now host the conference championship game for the first time. They will get a rematch with co-regular season champion Liberty on Sunday at 3 p.m. with the winner earning the automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. It will be the first time KSU will play in the title game, and it will be the first game to be shown on national television from the Convocation Center, as ESPN 2 will broadcast it. If the Owls win on Sunday, they will clinch a spot in the NCAA tournament for the first time since the program moved to Division one. The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, stretching along the river for 48 miles through metro Atlanta, posted its highest ever number of visitors in 2022, the National Park Service announced Thursday. Some 3.5 million people are estimated to have visited the recreation area last year, representing an increase of about 9% from 2021. That outpaces the river's park service neighbor in Cobb, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, which had about 1.3 million visitors in 2022. Among all National Park Service units nationwide, the Chattahoochee ranked 21st in attendance. The park service said to avoid crowds, visitors are advised to visit NPS dot gov. A Cobb County police officer was involved in a car wreck Thursday morning. Police spokesperson Shenise Barner said the collision occurred around 7 a.m. near Atlanta Road at Bingham Street, in the Fair Oaks area. There were complaints of minor injuries, but Barner said this was not a “major crash.” Cobb's Selective Traffic Enforcement Unit is investigating the incident.

White Passing: What Does That Mean?

“White passing” and “white presenting” are terms you've probably heard before when people are talking about being multi-racial, but what do they even mean? And where did they come from?   I talked to Dr. Gabriel Cruz, a lecturer in the communications studies department at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, about this topic.   Dr. Gabriel A. Cruz received his Ph.D. From Bowling Green State University and focuses his research on intersectional critical race analysis of popular culture as well as white nationalist rhetoric. His work appears in multiple books and journals, as well as his pop-culture podcast “Office Hours With Dr. C.”   I came across Dr. Cruz through the work he shares on TikTok (@dr._c) and Instagram (@gacruz_phd). If you don't follow him already, you should. His videos tackle topics in a way that makes them easy to understand and easy to share with others in your life. I've learned so much from him, both on social media and through this interview.   In this episode, Dr. Cruz explains: Where the term “white passing” comes from. The difference between “white passing” and “white presenting.” How to talk to children about their privilege as “white passing” individuals while also affirming their identity/struggle as someone who is multi-racial. Where white presenting people fit into the conversation about cultural appropriation.     Ally Elementary   Parents have been asking for a practical, interactive way to implement the anti-racist strategies that I lay out in the First Name Basis Podcast. So on March 29th Ally Elementary registration opens up again! And we're also excited to announce that we will be launching our new program, Ally Elementary Jr., for kids in preschool through second grade at the same time.   During this five-week program parents will work together with their children to create a culture of anti-racism in their home, and I will be there to guide them every step of the way. We will use hands-on activities to teach our children about everything from the untold story of how race was created to how they can disrupt racism in their everyday lives. I am so excited to watch the families in our community make a meaningful transformation and improve their communities through anti-racist action.

The day has served not only as a time to encourage children to read, but as a day to honor and revere Dr. Seuss — which, because of his racist work and attitudes, is inappropriate.   The sentiment behind this celebration — fostering a love of reading in children and emphasizing resources available to help facilitate that — has always been and will always be important, but it is time to pivot in how we celebrate this holiday.   First Name Basis is here to help.

When something tragic happens, we often look to those around us — whether it's people we know in real life, people we listen to on the news or people we follow on social media — to help us process and understand what's going on.    And there's a phrase I've seen pop up over and over again among influencers (specifically white people on social media who consider themselves parenting experts) that makes me want to lose my mind.   “What you need to be doing right now is loving your children.”   Don't get me wrong: Loving your family is and always will be important. But when they say that, are they encouraging you to do anything differently than what you are already doing? To change anything? To take action to make the world a better place?   If your favorite parenting expert is telling you to do nothing and you believe them, you're selling yourself short.    What I want to help you see through this episode is loving your family and activism go hand in hand. You have so much power to model what it means to be an activist, to teach your children to make a difference and to invite them to take action right along with you — all of which is one of the best things you can do for these little humans that you love so dearly.   Diverse Book Challenge   It's National Reading Month, and we want to help you celebrate!   For years, National Reading Month and Read Across America Day has been celebrated on or near March 2, which is Dr. Seuss' birthday.

March is NATIONAL READING MONTH. In celebration of National Reading Month CAN WE TALK FOR REAL co-hosts Teresa (Terry Boi) Jackson and Michelle E. Brown welcome LaWayne Childrey to the show to talk about his book “Peeing Back the Layers: A Story of Trauma, Grace and Triumph.” His book was selected as one of the top six autobiographies of 2015 by the Colorado Independent Publishers Association. This book tells Childrey’s story - how a troubled, black, gay youth from the Deep South grew up to become one of the most respected news journalists in the country. Childrey is also a recipient of the national Edward R. Murrow Award for Journalistic Excellence. The award is given by the Radio Television Digital News Association honoring outstanding achievements in electronic journalism. Murrow Award recipients demonstrate the excellence that Edward R. Murrow made a standard for the electronic news profession. Childrey has also won numerous Mississippi Associated Press Broadcasters awards for his reporting with Mississippi Public Broadcasting. In 2014 the Alabama Community College System selected Childrey as its most outstanding alumnus in the institution’s 50-year history. The ACCS awarded a $5,000 scholarship in Childrey’s name to a deserving Alabama high school senior. During the same year, Childrey was named alumnus of the year for Jefferson State Community College in Birmingham. In his compelling autobiography Childrey demonstrates his ability to persevere during times of immense adversity.
