Helene Johnson (1906-1995) was an African-American poet during the Harlem Renaissance. She is remembered today for her poetry that captures both the challenges and the excitement of this era during her short-lived career. For Further Reading: Helene Johnson, Poetic Voice of the Harlem Renaissance Toward an Understanding of Helene Johnson’s Hybrid Modernist Poetics Poets: Helene Johnson ORAL HISTORY INITIATIVE: On Helene Johnson & the Harlem Renaissance This Black History Month, we’re talking about Renaissance Women. As part of the famed cultural and artistic Harlem Renaissance movement, these women found beauty in an often ugly world. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Adrien Behn, Alyia Yates, Vanessa Handy, Melia Agudelo, and Joia Putnoi.

James Navé here. It's my pleasure to welcome spoken-word poet, actor, and teacher Jahman Hill www.jahmanhill.com to the Twice 5 Miles microphone speaking on the idea that You've Already Found Your Poetic Voice, which is the title of this show. I first met Jahman when he signed up to compete in one of the LEAF Poetry Slams I've been hosting at the LEAF Festival every May and October for the past 25 years. Of course, when a new performance poet shows up, I always hope the poet will be a dazzling stage performer. More often than not, at the LEAF Festival, this proves to be true. Jahman's performance chops quickly became apparent when he stepped up to the mic for the first time. I suspect you know what I mean. You've probably been at a venue when a performer stepped on stage, and within one minute, you knew you were in for a terrific experience. When Jahman walked onstage, you could see he had a dancer's physical control over his body movements. When he started performing his first poem, he understood subtext, emotional connection, and voice projection. In addition, he had crafted his content with the poetic structure designed to unfold with ease, as if he were having a conversation with ac close friend. Beyond Jahamn's onstage skills, he loves teaching. In this interview, Jahman and I unpack his great stories around teaching young students how to connect with their creative urges. Next, we touch on some of the pressures Covid-19 has imposed upon the teaching profession and upon his students. Finally, because Jahman and I have been vaccinated for Covid-19, we talk a bit about our philosophies around why we think a vaccination approach is the best way to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Rest assured, you'll hear no heavy-handed opinions, only thoughtful reflections on our motivations. I hope you enjoy listening to the show as much as I enjoyed talking to Jahman about poetry, life, and what will happen next.

Henry Tapper is the CEO at Agewage, a firm committed to helping people understand their pension pots, and the Founding Editor of the Pension Playpen, which provides guidance on pensions.  He has been involved in financial services for his whole career, and is a high profile advocate for pensions education and transparency. We start with Henry's background, his year on a herring fleet in Iceland and how he fell into selling financial products because he couldn't find another job. We reflect on the staggering differences between training for such roles then v. now, and how this ties back to the value for money discussion that is now pervasive in asset management.  Henry is a high profile voice in the cause of creating fairer, more transparent pension solutions, and his initiatives AgeWage and the Pension Playpen, a procurement website, which was set up to help employers choose their workplace pension. AgeWage is designed to help people feeling confident about the pensions decisions that they're taking and to make use of investment data in a way that they can understand. This returns to the topic across this series of financial literacy, and how it is essential across every age group. We mull on the importance of the industry reporting on the outcomes of the work done for ordinary people in a way that ordinary people can understand, and end with some beautiful quotes from some of Henry's favorite poets. Series 4 is brought to you with the kind support of Federated Hermes, Inc., a leading global investment manager. Guided by their conviction that responsible investing is the best way to create wealth over the long term, their investment solutions span equity, fixed-income, alternative/private markets, multi-asset and liquidity strategies and a range of separately managed accounts, distributed through intermediaries worldwide.

Sekou Andrews is a very passionate and motivating person. I first heard about him on the Tim Ferriss Show, and when I watched one of his TED Talks I knew I had to have him on the show. Sekou and I had some scheduling complications, and then some technology issues, but we ultimately made it happen and I'm so glad we did. He's talks with us about what it means to be a warrior, his routine before a speaking engagement, and how we can all get the best out of ourselves. If you're inspired by Sekou, you need to check out his webinar that he's hosting on October 18th. Click here for information on that event. Thanks for listening and be sure to thank Sekou on Twitter for joining us. @SekouAndrews @TimLawson21 @LockNLoadJava

Sekou Andrews defies every preconceived notion you might have in your head about the voice and role of poetry in business, society and life.In his words, when he "tells people that, before creating a new inspirational speaker category, he was a successful 'full-time poet,' you would think that he had said 'full-time mermaid,' or 'freelance unicorn' based on the reactions he gets."A former elementary school teacher turned musician, national poetry slam champion, Sekou discovered the power of delivering larger ideas, stories, missions and even strategies to audiences not by traditional keynote or slides or visuals, but by meticulously crafted spoken word performances.He calls this "Poetic Voice" and Sekou has now presented to everyone from the world's largest organizations to Barack Obama, Oprah, Maya Angelou, Quincy Jones, Larry King, Hillary Clinton, Norman Lear, Sean “P-Diddy” Combs, and Coretta Scott King and family and so many others.In today's episode, we explore Sekou's remarkable journey, his exploration of acting, music, teaching and poetry, how he unbridled words from beat to make the leap from musician to poet and how he literally created an entirely new speaking category and is now turning around and teaching others how to discover their own Poetic Voices.

Sekou Andrews is inspiring the business world one poetic presentation at a time. As the world's leading Poetic Voice, Sekou creates personalized poetic presentations that give voice to the messages and missions of organizations and help them tell their most powerful stories. He is the creator of this cutting-edge category of speaking that combines strategic storytelling, inspirational speaking, spoken word poetry, and the power of theater and comedy to make events into experiences, and transform audiences of informed receivers into enrolled responders. Sekou does more than inspire us with his story; he inspires us with our story.
