Aodhan O'Faolain, High Court reporter, on a ruling that a young Ukrainian girl brought to Ireland by her mother following the outbreak of the war against Russia should be returned to her native country.

About 60 years ago, a young man who grew up poor on the Red Lake Reservation revolutionized snowmobile design. While working at Polaris, Andy Wells — then just 20 years old — came up with a design to move the engine from the back of the sled to the front. “It just made sense,” he saidPolaris immortalized Wells' achievement by naming the snowmobile after him — the Lil Andy.  He could have had a big career with the company. Polaris management encouraged Wells to go back to school and return when he was finished. But Wells had other plans.  He left, first to become a teacher for a couple of decades, and then to start his own multimillion dollar business. Later Wells combined his two biggest passions — engineering and helping others — to create a free apprenticeship program for anyone who's Indigenous. Making a difference Before joining Wells Academy in Bemidji, Red Laker Lisa Butcher lost her job. Today she's operating one of the most sophisticated precision machines in the world that is worth millions and making high-end components. She's been with the program about a year.   “I have a love for learning and whenever I can prove myself to do something better than what I even thought I could do I'm there, I'm doing it, this has just been the perfect job for me,” Butcher said. “I needed something to support my family and it did that.” Beltrami County in northwest Minnesota is the second poorest county in the state. It's county seat — Bemidji — sits between three reservations. Growing up on Red Lake, Wells said he had help when he was young. “That's why I was able to go forward. Some of them didn't. And some of them had failed in the public systems. And they needed a second chance, I realized that I had the ability to maybe help at least a few of them,” he said. Wells Technology focused on making tools. By 2008, it had outgrown its humble two-stall garage where it started, to include 32 employees and $54 million in revenue. But early on, Wells noticed a growing problem. “We were getting a lot of applicants coming to our door, looking for work. And they really weren't qualified. They had dropped out of high school, and they didn't have any industrial skills,” Wells said. “A lot of them didn't even have transportation, they were riding with a friend or someone they knew. And it was a really difficult challenge.”Wells called them “employment-challenged applicants” and felt the hiring process was unfair to them. “In a competitive world, they had been turned down by other possible opportunities. And I kept feeling that maybe I could do something if I could see desire. And if I could see that they were trustworthy. Maybe I could do something about it,” Wells recalled. “And I began teaching them one by one.”Word gets outWells' mission worked — really well. Initially the company was only able to train one or two people a year, and Wells says it was expensive. But word got out.  “Other corporations liked what we were doing. And they said they would be willing to actually give us a small grant,” he said. “It was something that we had to do. We were training only one or two a year and with the help from some of the other corporations we were able to double that.”  He used the money to create the nonprofit Wells Academy and soon began training up to five workers a year. He said it works for everyone, including the financial supporters. “They can help humanity plus get some future employees,” he said. “So, we're trying to be a model.”Opening in Red Lake And then things went one step further: In November 2020, after years of dialogue with Red Lake Nation, Wells Academy opened an apprenticeship program on the reservation at the Oshkiimaajitahdah community center in Redby. Wells supplied the equipment needed to increase accessibility for those living on the reservation.  The center's executive director, Jerry Loud, said he admires Wells Technology because it doesn't give up on people regardless of their past. "Where other employers won't even take a look at them. Andy will take them on and give them a second chance. And that's really our mission here at Oshkiimaajitahdah is getting people on a new path, a new journey, because we all made mistakes, right?" said Loud. “We've been fronting part of it; Andy's been fronting part of it. But now we need partners to continue on and to grow this. So that's really what I would like to see.” More than just a certificate Assistant executive director Eugene Standing Cloud said the program is about more than just a certificate. “It's getting these individuals to understand that they can accomplish pretty much anything, getting them the confidence, getting them the organizational skills to show up every day, participate, ask questions, learn a new skill, a new career. And I think that's, that's really a huge goal,” Standing Cloud said. In Redby, students learn how to manufacture fasteners commonly found on medical equipment. Robert Altaha, 23, said he heard about the program from his sister. Before that he was doing child care. “I just decided to change my life. I got bored sitting at home doing nothing. Because sitting there with kids all day can get tiring and exhausting,” Altaha said. “I was sitting there with like, eight kids a day. And it would drive you crazy at times. But I had to figure something out, to do something new.” So far three classes of three students per class have finished the program at Oshkiimaajitahdah. From there, students transfer to the Bemidji location for the final 12-month training. Wells Academy has graduated a total of 105 students since it opened.   After the program is complete Wells will either hire the graduates or help them find work at a different company — even if it's a competitor. He said the metric for success is job placement. “I think that it just keeps the whole thing more fair. So it doesn't look like we're doing this just for us. We're really not,” Wells said. “I do it because it was my time in life to give back."  ‘Making life better for others'One of the people Wells has helped is Leech Laker Logan Cloud. He's the oldest of four boys. Cloud said his parents are in their 70s and are experiencing medical issues just as his brothers are transitioning into adulthood. Graduating from Wells Academy has given him the ability to support his family's needs. “That's something that really needs to be looked for in Native Country, is that understanding of a family dynamic, that we're not a 9-to-5 family, that whole dynamic is foreign to us,” Cloud said. “We're a unit, we're a lodge, we're not a picket fence with all that other crazy stuff that you see on TV, our family is completely different.”  Wells says the Red Lake funding is geared toward Indigenous prospects, but the apprentice program at Wells Academy in Bemidji is open to all. And that's the model he's trying to encourage businesses across the U.S. to take up. He says it's an approach that can help fight poverty while strengthening community.  “My motivation every day is to get up and make life better for other people. I think it's a very satisfying thing. It's a joyful thing to see that you've done something that makes other people's life a little better,” Wells said. “It's different than pleasure. Pleasure is kind of a central thing. You can take a boat ride or an airplane ride or go see a movie or something like that. That's just temporary pleasure, but happiness and joy are found in the heart.” 

Why did I want to talk with Mayra Dias Gomes, AKA May Valentine in the Nation Wrestling Alliance? It is how she has recently utilized her notoriety to share her addiction and trauma recovery to inspire others and let them know they're not alone. Mayra has had a stellar career thus far. She became a best-selling author at the age of 17 in her Native Country of Brazil. She is the oldest daughter of acclaimed playwright Dias Gomes and actress Bernadeth Lyzio. She was encouraged by her family to express herself artistically, sadly at the age of 11, she'd experience her first major trauma when her father was killed in a car accident. We talk about how this trauma led her down the path of substance use and a string of bad relationships that included her being raped and everyone blaming her for the occurrence. Mayra shares that she found a book on illicit drugs and set off to try them all. We talk about the twists and turns of her life that included a career in TV music journalism, a multi-time published author, and a vast modeling career, in which she became the February cover and centerfold of Playboy Denmark. Mayra is open about her transgressions, as well as the moment over 3 years ago while training to be a professional wrestler when she knew it was time to put the bottle down as her anxiety was out of control. We also talk about how her past appearance in a Smashing Pumpkins music video, and Billy Corgan Front Man for the Smashing Pumpkins who owns the NWA, National Wrestling Alliance reached out to her, and the character of May Valentine was born. Mayra's goal is to demonstrate that a SOBER LIFE is an exhilarating one, and anyone can reap the benefits. This is Mayra Dias Gomes Knockin' Doorz Down.

SoCal has long been home to Armenian Americans, but now more of them are migrating in the other direction to build stronger ties to their heritage in Armenia. The Hillside Villa apartments in Chinatown were under a city covenant to provide housing for decades. That covenant has expired and tenants are fighting for a way to stay. A 700-foot section of train tracks in San Clemente is still vulnerable to landslides and sand depletion.

Half-and-half. Cream and coffee. Almost every mixed-race family develops their own, sometimes bizarre, metaphors to explain their kids to the outside world. Chicana feminist, playwright, poet and author Cherríe Moraga prefers the term “mixed blood.” Her recent memoir, Native Country of the Heart, is a tribute to her powerful and complicated Mexican mother, Elvira Moraga. It's a more seasoned reflection on the concepts she first explored when she co-edited the groundbreaking anthology This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color in 1981. Her essay “La Güera” focuses on straddling identities as a mixed-race queer woman who's light-skinned — or güera in Spanish. Moraga says people sometimes perceive her as white, despite her deep ties to her Mexican culture and heritage. In the essay, she explores the privilege she experiences in the world because of her phenotype, but also her vulnerability as a working-class woman and as a lesbian. California Report Magazine host Sasha Khokha and KQED correspondent Marisa Lagos spoke to her at her home for the series “Mixed: Stories of Mixed-Race Californians.”

Guest: Ponga Liwewe, former Zambia Football Association Genaral Secretary  We spoke to former Zambia Football Association Genaral Secretary Ponga Liwewe about Enock Mwepu who is hospital after taking ill while while in his native country. The 25-year-old was forced to retire from football in last year because of a hereditary heart condition.

Join Cherríe Moraga and Martha Gonzalez for a conversation in celebration of the 25th Anniversary Edition of Moraga's classic Waiting in the Wings: Portrait of a Queer Motherhood. In a series of journal entries—some original passages, others revisited and expanded in retrospect—Cherrié Moraga details her experiences with pregnancy, birth, and the early years of lesbian parenting. With the premature birth of her son—when HIV-related mortality rates were at their highest—Moraga, a new mother at 40-years-old, was forced to confront the fragile volatility of life and death; in these recorded dreams and reflections, her terror and resilience are made palpable. The particular challenges of queer parenting prove transformative as Moraga navigates her intersecting roles as Chicana mother, child, lover, friend, artist, activist, and more. With an updated introduction and other additions, including an afterword by Rafael Angel Moraga, this revised 25th anniversary edition of Waiting in the Wings is thoughtful and emotive, with prose that is sharp and beautifully written, from the voice of a beloved and incomparable writer.

Nadia Shpachenko — Invasion (Reference) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Nadia Shpachenko by “People are still trying hard to stay positive. People are powerful there and they believe in victory. They're just trying to continue living their lives but don't want to leave,” says Ukrainian pianist Nadia Shpachenko. “The people that I talk to want to stay. They feel like this is their country and want to help as much as possible. Shpachenko wants to help, too. As a concert pianist from Ukraine, she became a hero to those in her homeland when she was the first and only Ukrainian to win a Grammy. She lives and teaches in California, but her heart is in Ukraine with her family and friends.  That's why her latest recording, Invasion, featuring compositions from Lewis Spratlan, is dedicated to the Ukrainian people and all proceeds support them. The music reflects the many moods the Ukrainian people experience daily. “I wanted to do something more,” she said. “Not a one-time thing, but a project that would be ongoing where I could raise money, and awareness and promote the work of Ukrainian artists. I was already planning to release a CD with Spratlan, who wrote many pieces for me during the pandemic. But on the first day of the war, we talked and decided that he would write a large piece about this war.” Why did Spradlin choose a unique combination of instruments for the featured track? “He chose the mandolin because he wanted to have a folk element. There is a Russian folk song feature at the beginning. It signifies the Russian forces arriving before they invade Ukraine. The saxophone just has such a specific character. It often has melodies that are heart-wrenching but also passionate and kind. Each instrument has an exceptionally unique sound that fits the character assigned to that instrument. With the piano, I sometimes play with my fists. It has a huge sound at times. “This piece is not what many people expect as a war piece. It is quite hopeful. It has many elements that describe Ukraine as a country or as it used to be. The middle section is very wistful, beautiful, and poetic, and it signifies nostalgia for what used to be. It is in remembrance of the beauty of Ukraine. “The other works are also influenced by this war and my experience. I had been learning and recording the pieces since the invasion started. Many pieces are directly connected to the war. For example, there was a video of high school seniors in Kharkiv dancing in dress clothes in front of the ruins of their high school. They were dancing the waltz. So there is one waltz-like piece on the album.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, Jacob's on-stage presence has proven himself as a natural entertainer and people are starting to notice the excitement built around his name. With over 250 performances in 2021, fans have seen him perform at festivals and showcases nationally such as Whiskey Jam, Country Thunder and KNIX BBQ and Beer Festival, as well as on stage opening for artists such as Lee Brice, Parker McCollum, Big & Rich, Chris Janson and more. Originally from Gilbert, Arizona, Jacob started chasing his musical dream after graduating high school in 2015. He tried to book as many shows as possible in coffee shops, cafe's, and any restaurant that would let him play for a few hours. Soon enough he built up a strong band in the Phoenix area, and began working his way into the best venues and festivals around. Jacob has played all across the United States and also internationally with recent performances in Mexico and Turkey. For him, he believes country music doesn't just belong in the south. 
Jacob says, “making music is the highest privilege. Every moment spent on stage, talking to fans, writing and recording music, all of it just makes sense to me. I couldn't be more appreciative of every person who has believed in my crazy dream. This is truly the best job and I can't wait to showcase what else I have up my sleeve…”

Born in New Bern, NC and raised down a 7 mile dirt road deep in the woods, Chris Hollacheck grew up in the kind of setting you'd picture being in a country song. His musical journey started very early when he learned cello at 3 years old! Chris has also played piano, trumpet, baritone, and bass guitar and performed doing singing and acting in numerous plays all before the age of 18. After graduating high school, he picked up guitar in college at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. It was there that he discovered his passion for songwriting and singing country music. Once he graduated college, he moved to Nashville in 2014. After a couple years of playing open mics and writer rounds and working odd jobs, Chris decided to leave Nashville and travel the country. He started venturing in Florida and then Texas, where he played more frequent shows and gained a diverse group of fans. During this time, he released his first radio single “Knotty Thing” in January 2019. After 2 years in Texas, he decided to move back to Nashville where he ended up taking his music further. Chris released “But I Did” in January 2020, which hit #2 on the Indie World Country Charts. He's released other great hits since like “Phoenix In The Fire," "Open Road", and "Til You See The Pines." In Jan 2022 he released the upbeat love ballad "I'll Ever Need," which is quickly gaining momentum. Look out for a lot of hits in 2022!

One of the leading voices in Latino literature centers her latest work on her close relationship with her mother. Cherríe Moraga aims to preserve her mother’s stories and memories in her literary memoir, Native Country of the Heart.

Chicana writer Cherríe Moraga is the author of the literary memoir, “Native Country of the Heart.” It explores not just Moraga’s life, but that of her mother, Elvira. Elvira was born in 1914. Her father hired 11-year-old Elvira and her siblings as cotton pickers in California. As a young teen, she worked at a Tijuana casino that was frequented by Hollywood stars and mob bosses.

Legendary Chicanx Feminist Theorist Cherrie Moraga joins host Eric Newman to talk about her new memoir, Native Country of the Heart, which tells the story of Cherrie mother, Elvira, along with reflections on Cherrie's own life and the long history of the Mexican-American/Indigenous diaspora. Cherrie discusses how she came to write about her mother's life, her own coming into being as a Chicanx radical feminist artist and lesbian, and ends with some somber thoughts about our dire contemporary politics balanced by where she finds hope in this context. Also, Jacob Tobia, author of Sissy: A Coming of Gender Story, returns to recommend the super-hot, gender-shifting, pan-sexual Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl by Andrea Lawlor

We may have not posted for a while, but now we are back with a very engaging interview! For our fifth episode of the podcast we speak with Bothaina Qamar, a Livelihoods Specialist for UN Women (a United Nations organization). Bothaina was born and raised in Irbid, Jordan, went to university in Jordan, and then went to graduate school in the USA for development. We discuss Bothaina's unique, insider perspective (as compared to the foreigners that we have interviewed in previous podcasts) on the gender issues in Jordan with locals and refugees. Throughout her life she has experienced the gender impacts within her family, her friends network, and at previous jobs with organizations like CARE, Right to Play, Y-PEER, UNFPA, and more. We delve into the many cultural and logistical reasons why more women graduate university than men in Jordan, but far less enter the workforce, we touch on micro-finance opportunities, and we discuss the UN Womens' training of Jordanian women to work in the garment industry and the ways to educate their fathers to allow them to work. We also talk about Bothaina's personal life - like her experience moving away from her family to Amman, attending graduate school (Heller) as an Arab at Brandeis, which has one of the largest Jewish student populations in the United States, and her enjoyment of national parks in California. This podcast is longer than usual and it's completely worth it! Please NOTE that Bothaina's interview represents her personal experiences and views, not the official stances of the UN or her previous organizations.

I caught Steven before he left the Rez. He was here promoting his most recent production "Neither Wolf Nor Dog". The film is based on the book "Neither Wolf Nor Dog" written by Kent Nurburn. The film showcases a awesome list of local and weathered Native actors. We talk about some of the dynamics involved with outside producers and directors working in Native Country. He also gives us some of the stories that reflect in the movie. Also, the passing of Dave Bald Eagle, one of the main characters in the movie.
