Anne Buchanan brings together a unique combination of restorative justice principles and practices to support people who want to find a better way to work through conflict, disagreements, and misunderstandings whether through our legal systems, schools, faith-based communities, families or organizations, her practice is based on the belief that repairing relationships should be the primary focus for finding transformative solutions to confusing and difficult conflict situations. Her expertise includes program development, training, and facilitation, services with the goal of building happy, healthy relationships as a foundational approach to repairing harm, healing, and transforming conflict. Anne's approach is designed to address the underlying influences that are harming individuals, families, and groups of people within our communities, leading to a deeper understanding of the issues that lay a foundation for sustainable healing solutions. In this episode Dr. Gaye Lang and Anne Buchanan discuss: The end result of tolerance Tolerance that transcends training Addressing an issue in a circle The role of the facilitator in circles Key Takeaways: The end result we hope for in tolerance is that everybody could feel that they belong. Tolerance needs to transcend program or training, it has to be deeply embedded in our hearts. Talk individually first to a person who is presenting the challenge, then address the issue in a circle. Make sure that everybody has the opportunity to express how they see the issue. The outcome is 100% based on how the people in the circle would respond to the process. The facilitator only facilitates and manages the flow of the process. “[Tolerance is] critically important for not only my work, but my life and in the world. I need to get to know you and to get to know you means I have to be in a relationship with you and I have to do it in a way where I listen and I am able to step forward in a way that provides dignity…” - Anne Buchanan Connect with Anne Buchanan: Website: https://www.croirestorativedialogue.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-buchanan/ Email: annegbuchanan@gmail.com Resources: “So You Want to Talk About Race” by Ijeoma Oluo: https://www.amazon.com/You-Want-Talk-About-Race/dp/1580056776 “Lead from the Outside: How to Build Your Future and Make Real Change” by Stacey Abrams: https://www.amazon.com/Lead-Outside-Build-Future-Change/dp/1250214807 “Colorizing Restorative Justice: Voicing Our Realities”: https://www.amazon.com/Colorizing-Restorative-Justice-Voicing-Realities-ebook/dp/B08DWLW8H7 Connect with Dr. Gaye Lang: Don't forget to subscribe to the show, so that you don't miss a single episode; and please leave a rating and review.

Happy 2021, lovely listeners! It's our favorite time of the year: Urban Fic Month. (Okay, so we were still a little hungover from 2020 and this episode is a tad late. Forgive us!) This year, we read a classic: The Cartel, by Ashley & JaQuavis. There's money, romance, murder and a lot of anti-Haitian sentiment. It's uncomfortable. There's also some "sexy" farting (or should we say queuing?), a graphic castration and a whole lot of colorism. Get the alcohol ready, because this one is wild. Trigger warning for a mention of rape and discussion of homophobia starting at 1:07:40. If you wanna be part of the cool kids club, head over to Pateron and sign up. You’ll also get access to bonus materials including video and podcast outtakes. As always, a very special thank you to our Patrons: Adoria, Ali, Brittney, Bryonna, Catherine, Ellen, Emily, Erica, Frank, Heather, I Found This Great Book, Jennifer, Kat, Katie, Maria, Martel, Melissa, Montara, Sylvia, Terri, Therese, Whitney and YM.

When Stacey Abrams won the Democratic primary in Georgia’s gubernatorial election two years ago, System Check hosts Melissa Harris-Perry and Dorian Warren wrote an article for Time Magazine (https://time.com/5290333/stacey-abrams-georgia-governor-race-southern-democrats/) , saying, “If Abrams can win the general election and become the first black woman governor in U.S. history, in a Southern state that sits in the heart of the old Confederacy, it will be a powerful symbol of the capacity of black women to be the face — and not just the backbone or helpmate — of American politics.” It turns out, Abrams did not have to win the Governor’s mansion to bring about this change, she has been able to revolutionize the Democratic Party and the state of Georgia even without the electoral victory. Georgia has a brutal racial history: Slavery, Jim Crow, racial violence, and massive voter suppression all are party of Georgia’s story. That history isn’t going away overnight—the Center for Public Integrity called Georgia (https://publicintegrity.org/politics/elections/us-polling-places/georgia-hotbed-for-voter-suppression-tactics/) a “hotbed for voter suppression” just last month, warning that voter purges and other suppressive tactics could help sway this year’s presidential election. But in the end, it was Stacey Abrams, and the deep grassroots organizing that she has been building for nearly a decade, that made the crucial difference in 2020. Georgia went blue for the first time in more than 25 years, and now holds the balance of national power in its hands as both Georgia Senate races head to runoff elections on January 5, 2021. How did Abrams—and the countless activists, organizers, door-knockers and phone-callers her work has touched—bring about this monumental realignment in American politics? On this week’s episode of System Check, your hosts Melissa Harris-Perry and Dorian Warren dig into the dual realities of Georgia’s history, highlighting both the enduring marks of white supremacy and the resilient movements for racial justice woven into the state’s fabric. They talk to the grassroots organizers whose years of organizing, mobilizing, and strategy have created new models of system change. Nse Ufot, Executive Director of the New Georgia Project (https://newgeorgiaproject.org) Action Fund has spent years working to expand democracy by registering nearly 1 million eligible but unregistered African American, Latinx, and Asian American Georgians. (https://www.pushblack.us/news/overcoming-voter-suppression-nse-ufot) She tells us why music, food, and childcare—and drag shows—are important tools of organizing. Georgia is the epicenter of the New South, and the racial makeup is no longer confined to the Black/white paradigm. Genny Castillo, Regional Engagement Director, Southern Economic Advancement Project (https://theseap.org) , and Aisha Yaqoob Mahmood, Director of the Asian American Advocacy Fund of Georgia (https://www.asianamericanadvocacyfund.org/about) , tell Melissa and Dorian what the state’s changing demographics mean for the future of politics in Georgia, and across the country. Tune in to find out why Genny wants you read pages 63 to 65 in Stacey Abrams first book, Lead from the Outside, and why Aisha’s dad invited Stacey Abrams to his daughter’s wedding. This week’s final word goes to Renee Montgomery (https://reneemontgomery.net/) : A star of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, Montgomery stunned sports fans this summer when she announced she would sit out the 2020 season to concentrate her energies on the voter mobilization efforts in Georgia. And she isn’t done yet: after all the runoff elections are still 8 weeks away. System Checklist Transforming analysis into action, our hosts give listeners three action items this week. First, help us make a playlist inspired by the work Georgia has already done and the work Georgia is tasked with doing between now and the January 5, 2021 runoffs. Think of this as a sonic organizing tool to remind the people of Georgia they are not alone, Georgia is on ALL our minds as we try to save and strengthen American democracy. Share your choices to our Twitter (https://twitter.com/SystemCheckPod) and our Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/SystemCheckPod/) . Use the hashtag #SystemCheckPlaylist Second, even if you are not in Georgia, you can experience the wise counsel and learn the key strategies of Stacey Abrams by checking out her two best selling political strategy books Lead from the Outside: How to Build Your Future and Make Real Change (https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250214805) and Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America (https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250257703) .

With Joe Biden taking a razor thin lead in George and a run-off election expected to decide who controls the Senate, many credit Stacey Abrams with making sure that every vote gets counted and likely delivering Georgia for the Democrats. Today's episode is a re-release of my 2019 interview with Stacey Abrams in which she discusses why she refused to concede defeat in the 2018 gubernatorial race, why she believes widespread voter suppression tipped that election to her opponent, and how she's continuing the fight for voting rights and fair elections through her organization Fair Fight Action. She explains the careful balancing act of being a woman of color in a position of power, why minority politicians undergo way more financial scrutiny than their white colleagues, and how the Republican Governors Association mocked her for daring to seek higher office as a woman. Order Stacey Abrams' new book Lead from the Outside: How to Build Your Future and Make Real Change on Amazon, Audible or wherever books are sold.

The Message in a Book exert today comes from, Lead from the Outside: How to Build Your Future and Make Real Change by Stacy Abrams. Stacy might be most well known recently for her 2018 run for Governor of Georgia and her 11 years spent in the Georgia House of Representatives, 7 of those years as Minority Leader. But what you may not realize is that she's also a non-profit CEO, serial entrepreneur, and has authored multiple romance novels. She's managed to have success without necessarily "niching down" and instead has found success in a wide range of areas within her multiple passions. In this episode, you'll hear about a question she asks that builds on what we talked about yesterday with the understanding of what you want. If you're still not sure what that is, this question today might help you start to gain some clarity by giving yourself permission to break the "rules."
I'm super excited about today's guest: Caitlin Landesberg formerly Caitlin Looney. We aren't sure if we are related but if our interest in business, endurance sports and beer are any indication, then I'd say we are sisters! I love today's special story because it's one of transparency, inspiration, hard work, and courage. Caitlin is a former college tennis player turned trail runner. Caitlin was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease rendering her unable to consume gluten. That meant her favorite post-run beers were off the list. She couldn't find a good tasting gluten free or gluten removed beer, so she took it upon herself to learn how to brew her own beer. Outfitted with a homebrew kit that was a gift from her husband and a can-do attitude, she got started. What happened next was as she calls it "a happy accident." Her recipes became wildly popular and in high demand. She founded her company, Sufferfest beer that was beer for athletes. Upon inspection, I found that the beer had delicious twists to like black currant or sodium to help aide recovery. Another thing you may not know is that Caitlin was one of Strava's first employees and the former Director of Marketing. Armed with knowledge of how to build a brand and how to build community, she applied what she learned and has created a wildly successful business. In this episode, you'll learn how she built Sufferfest beer from nothing, how to build community, what is gluten removed beer, some of the interesting rules in the beer industry, how she dealt with setbacks, the acquisition of Sufferfest by Sierra Nevada, the difficult duality of being a mom of very young children and a CEO, and we even talked about pregnant athletes and pregnant career women and what that is like. Topics Discussed in the Podcast how she built Sufferfest beer from nothing, how to build community What is gluten removed beer? rules for creating a product in the beer industry how she dealt with setbacks the acquisition of SufferFest Beer by Sierra Nevada duality of being a mom and CEO why she felt she had to hide her pregnancy to her early investors how Caitlin defines success Listen Now Resources Sufferfest Beer Sufferfest Beer on instagram Follow Caitlin Landesberg on Instagram Caitlin's interview with Outside: How to be a working parent Athlete Coalition Podcast Sponsor!

Leadership is hard. Convincing others—and often yourself—that you possess the answers and are capable of world-affecting change requires confidence, insight, and sheer bravado. Political leader Stacey Abrams took the stage to share her awareness of the experiences and challenges that hinder anyone who exists beyond the structure of traditional white male power—women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and millennials ready to make a difference. Abrams presented insight from her book Lead from the Outside: How to Build Your Future and Make Real Change, asserting that knowing your own passion is the key to success, regardless of the scale or target. Abrams used her experience and hard-won insights to break down how ambition, money, fear, and failure function in leadership, while offering personal stories that illuminate practical strategies. Join Abrams for a conversation that shares what she has learned collected over the course of her impressive career: that being in the minority actually provides unique and vital strength, and differences in race, gender, and class are surmountable. Stacey Abrams is an author, serial entrepreneur, nonprofit CEO, and political leader. After eleven years in the Georgia House of Representatives, seven as Minority Leader, Abrams became the 2018 Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia. She has founded multiple organizations devoted to voting rights, training and hiring young people of color, and tackling social issues at both the state and national levels; and she is a lifetime member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Abrams is the 2012 recipient of the John F. Kennedy New Frontier Award and the first black woman to become the gubernatorial nominee for a major party in the United States.

She has founded multiple organizations devoted to voting rights, training and hiring young people of color, and tackling social issues at both the state and national levels; and she is a lifetime member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Abrams is the 2012 recipient of the John F. Kennedy New Frontier Award and the first black woman to become the gubernatorial nominee for a major party in the United States.https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9781250214805Learn more about your ad choices.

In episode fifteen, Tim & Tuesday share insights on their many rapid-pace leaps and lessons over the last year. The Outside’s team, delivery, story, and facilitation is a constant iteration.1.15 —— SHOW NOTESTues: We are one year into The Outside as a business.Tim: We started this [The Outside] saying, ‘We’ll give it two years and see how it goes and run some little experiments…’ We have landed four really significant, major, long-term pieces of work. Two in Europe, one in Canada and one in the United States.At the end of this calendar year, I hope our calendars give us just enough of a breather to stop and be like: Where are we at? Where did we come from? and Where are we going?Tues: Okay, questions for us on our one year:What are one or two highlights from the first year of The Outside?How has this launch year felt?What are you most looking forward to or trembling about?Favourite podcast from the year?What advice would you give yourself on this date last year?Tim: Genuinely wake up everyday with a feeling of tiredness and excitement.Tues: I feel like I am changing shape - getting bigger, wider and deeper.Tim: How do we structure the business? How do we not become a big studio? How do we really stay nimble, adaptive and network-based? Pulling together teams of outrageously competent and brilliant people. What’s just enough structure to hold that?Getting a sense of what it means to be “Outsiders” beyond just you and me. Trembling at the scale and speed at which we are growing. Looking forward to determining our organizational structure. Excited for the building of this thing.Tues: Trembling at the pace and travel of this work but the work is exciting. Tim: A core principal of The Outside was around family. We’re having to figure this out and continue to make part of our organizational design.Tues: We have to hold each other in the overwhelm of things to do and share that but we also have a tendency towards excitement. Then we have to be like “wait a second; hold on.” Both of us have to do that for each other. My favourite thing about this podcast is that it gives us time to reflect together out loud. Time to understand my own knowing about what’s happening and to share that with you in a really ongoing way. Tim: Eat well! Sleep well! Enjoy your children!Tues: Relax. You won’t have it all figured out but you will have just enough figured out to go forward.Poem of the day: Won’t You Celebrate With Me by Lucille CliftonWon’t You Celebrate With Mewon't you celebrate with mewhat i have shaped intoa kind of life? i had no model.born in babylonboth nonwhite and womanwhat did i see to be except myself?i made it uphere on this bridge betweenstarshine and clay,my one hand holding tightmy other hand; come celebratewith me that everydaysomething has tried to kill meand has failed.Song: “Functions On The Low” by Rough SqwadSubscribe to the podcast now—in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher or anywhere else you find podcasts.

Stacey Abrams has become a political superstar since running for governor of Georgia in 2018 and delivering the Democratic response to President Trump's State of the Union this February. We talk about her private meeting with Joe Biden, the rumors of a Biden-Abrams ticket in 2020, and what issues she’d campaign on if she does run for national office. She discusses making history as Georgia House Minority Leader and her party’s nominee for governor, why she refused to concede defeat in the 2018 gubernatorial race, and why she believes widespread voter suppression tipped that election to her opponent. She explains the careful balancing act of being a woman of color in a position of power, why minority politicians undergo way more financial scrutiny than their white colleagues, and how the Republican Governors Association mocked her for daring to seek higher office as a woman. Stacey also admits to being a Star Trek: Next Generation "super-fan" and reveals what the show can teach us about outsider politics. She shares her personal philosophy of "work-life jenga," talks about moonlighting as a successful romance novelist, and opens up about finally making time for dating and romance in her own life.

Stacey Abrams made Georgia history in her unsuccessful run for governor. Her campaign turned out a record number of black, Latino and Asian voters. She's rumored to be on former VP Joe Biden's short list should he run for the Democratic nomination in 2020. Abrams herself has not yet ruled out a run for president or a challenge to GOP incumbent David Perdue. Right now, she's focused on promoting her book, "Lead from the Outside: How to Build Your Future and Make Real Change," available now.
