John Gibilaro and Chelsea Dowling came on the show to discuss their personal journeys with mental health and how it got them into the work they are doing today with de-escalation. The company John founded, Peace Talkers is a leader in the field.  John was first exposed to de-escalation and crisis intervention in the 1990’s while working in the juvenile justice field.  In 2001, John became a New York City Teaching Fellow and spent the next 12 years as a teacher and dean in Brooklyn and Queens, New York. In 2012, John became an assistant principal with the primary duties of social emotional development, safety, and security. Recently, after becoming a parent to a child with a neurological diagnosis, John has begun working with families to help keep the peace where it matters most.  Chelsea Dowling is the Market Development Manager for Peace Talkers. She is also a student pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice, focusing her studies on changing the incarceration rate of the mentally ill. She is an advocate for mental health awareness, having struggled with depression and anxiety since she was 18. Her and John have been working together since 2019, and she loves being able to help schools and families through Peace Talkers. She believes the more people talk and are open about their own mental illness struggles, the less alone others will feel.    John Gibilaro: john@peacetalkers.com www.linkedin.com/in/john-gibilaro-m-s-ed-74b931113  Chelsea Dowling: chelsea@peacetalkers.com  Peace Talkers: 917-765-9559 www.peacetalkers.com www.facebook.com/PeaceTalkersTraining  www.instagram.com/peace_talkers_inc  For more information: www.stigmatizedpodcast.com Our Team...

This week we present two stories from people who were faced with barriers to their education. Part 1: Eager to succeed in her Physical Chemistry class, Shaniece Mosley is thrown off by a professor's attempt at a compliment. Part 2: Lelemia Irvine struggles to get through his PhD program as he's constantly told that his identity as a Native Hawaiian is incompatible with academia. Shaniece Mosley has been a teacher for eight years, and currently teaches chemistry, AP Chemistry, and science research at Midwood High School in Brooklyn. After attending Northeastern University and SUNYAlbany, where she received a B.S. in Chemistry, she attended Pace University where she earned an M.S. in Secondary Science Education. A former New York City Teaching Fellow, Shaniece is now an MƒA Master Teacher. She enjoys spending free time with her husband Dan and their 2 year old son Greyson. Lelemia Irvine, PhD, EIT, is kupukaaina, a lineal descendant from the aboriginal families that sprouted out of the land of Waiʻanae, Oʻahu. Dr. Irvine is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Hawaiʻi at West Oʻahu. He is now at his dream job as a professor but the road to get there was not a breeze. Dr. Irvine is the first Kāne Kanaka ʻŌiwi (Native Hawaiian male) to earn a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering program at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in 2019. In his doctoral research, he studied the physics of stormwater within a bioswale using predictive and computational approaches. As far as we know, presently there are less than 10 Native Hawaiians with a PhD in any engineering discipline in the world. Dr. Irvine is a self-described Rain Farmer, a term he coined, when his father, who has dementia, ask him “boy, what you studying in school?”. As a rain farmer, he seeks to connect sky to aquifer thru the physics of fluids and indigenous engineering ways of knowing. Dr. Irvine shares his personal journey as an empowerment tool for others to co-navigate and constellate the village of higher education systems. Learn more about your ad choices.

We have all had a dream or a goal that we wanted to accomplish, but then told ourselves “that's not for me!” “I cant possibly do that!!” In this episode of Blooming is a Habit (BIAH) S1: E6 How to Prepare Girls and Women for the Future, Cristina Jacobs Easton, the Upper School Principal at Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women (BLSYW) helps us remember that 1. You belong wherever you want to be. 2. You can do anything you put your mind to, but this comes with hard work, perseverance, and self reflection. 3. Success is not achieved by being fearless, but by being so committed to your dreams that you take action even while scared, and find ways to cope mindfully. 4. Girls and women can better plan for their future and be their best selves when they are open and honest about the challenges and success they experienced throughout their academic, personal, and professional journeys! 5. There is no such thing as perfection. Mistakes help all of us learn and grow. These lessons start in school. Let's make it foundational material! Guest Bio Continued.

Dia Bryant's interests in education sparked when she was just four years old, but her passion was set a full blaze upon setting foot in a New York City classroom in 2004 when she began her first year as a New York City Teaching Fellow. After serving in the capacities of teacher, math coach and new teacher trainer, Dia realized she had a growing appetite for solving complex problems in communities that mirrored life in her hometown, Detroit. Urban education would serve as an integral part of life for eight years before she founded and led Vista Academy in 2013, a middle school serving East New York Brooklyn focused on quality academics and character education. Though many children thrived in Dia's classrooms, she found it hard to ignore the deep-seated inequities that created variance across districts, neighborhoods, schools, and classrooms. These inequities often served as the root cause of poor student achievement, large amounts of teacher turnover, punitive discipline practices, low expectations, and inherently opportunity gaps. These factors drove her to continue her studies, and has inspired her to more deeply center courageous equity, in pursuit of excellent schools. Most recently she sees racial and socioeconomic integration an integral lever for change in human capital, systems design, curriculum, and disciplinary practices.Upon Graduation in 2020, Dia intends to impact a major American city in her quest to create diverse and equitable learning environments for children, adults, families, and communities.
