Angela Dalton lives in Oakland, California, has a background in producing online kids' games, and is a published children's book author Angela's books center Black children as main characters in ways she wishes she had seen when she was growing up… which is another reason I loved sharing conversation with this woman: she had a frustrating, unsatisfying, unfulfilled area of her life, and rather than complaining about that deficit, Angela has been developing constructive countermeasures for today's youth. Dalton is a member of the Bay Area BIPOC Book Creators, the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, and the 12×12 Picture Book Challenge. Her most recent picture books, RUBY'S REUNION DAY DINNER (published by HarperCollins) was released in May of 2021. SHOW THE WORLD! (Published by Viking Books for Young Readers) was released in April of 2022. Scheduled to be released in 2023, by HarperCollins publisher is Angela's next book, TO BOLDLY GO: HOW NICHELLE NICHOLS AND STAR TREK ADVANCED CIVIL RIGHTS. Resources recommended by Angela: A crystal clear and mercifully concise article on Critical Race Theory (CRT), titled “Why are some states outlawing critical race theory in schools?” Another resource article in this show's notes is titled, “27 Mistakes White Teachers of Black Students Make and How to Fix Them.” It's not an article to make you feel guilty… just to increase awareness. Awareness that's helpful to all of us. The next article is from the School Library Journal which provides an overview of diversity in Children's Books. As Angela described in our conversation… not even close to providing adequate representation of all the diversity that exists in our nation. Also, Angela wanted us to Learn more about Monique W. Morris' book, “Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in School.” A reviewer for the Washington Post wrote that Pushout is truly a book “for everyone who cares about children.” And very importantly: Chapter 510. Described by an 11-year old Chapter 510 participant as, “A magicked-up safe and creative space for Oakland's young artists to come together and create.” Even if you don't live in northern California, this place and the great work they're doing with under-served and under-represented youth demonstrates what the best of humanity can bring out in others who are ready to blossom and grow. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nini-white/message

In this episode Christina Sorenson, 2019 Sorors Justice Fellow at the Juvenile Law Center, shares how she has turned the pain from growing up in the foster care system into a passion for helping create space for youth caught up in the child welfare system. She acknowledges that her experience was traumatizing, yet it was contrary to what Black youth, especially Black girls experience.  References made in this episode as well as follow up resources:  Pushout: by fellow Soros fellow – Monique Morris Fostering Change Network Alumni Coaching program - Ran by Shalita O'Neale, a foster care alum and change agent powerhouse for any current or former foster youth looking for mentorship.  No Place For Kids 1988: Iowa Admin.

One piece of dismantling and rebuilding the justice system starts with our schools, which can be an onramp to the criminal justice system for Black girls, who in increasing numbers are subject to criminalization starting in our schools. How did we end up with schools that are based in fear, rather than love, and how is that leading towards the adultification and criminalization of Black girls in particular?Dr. Monique Morris joins us to look into these questions, as well as the paths forward to a better future. Dr. Morris is an award-winning writer, social justice scholar, professor, founder of National Black Women’s Justice Institute, the executive director of Grantmakers for Girls of Color. She is also the author of several books, including "Pushout," which PBS recently adapted into a documentary of the same name. We will explore the ideas in "Pushout," and the profound injustice Black girls face in our schools and our country. Dr. Morris is interviewed by Dr. Douglas E.

Thanks to Juliette for the recommendation!This documentary based on the book, Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools written by Dr. Monique W. Morris brilliantly documents the stigmatization and marginalization of black girls within the educational system. During our review, we discuss the impact of first-person accounts, cultural competence in educators, disproportional punishment, and the over-maturing of adolescent black girls. Throughout our conversation we also share our own experiences within the educational system and the added complexity of being mixed within those systems.

This week we have an important discussion with Dr. Monique Morris about her work examining violence against Black girls. Her documentary Pushout centers the voices of Black girls to tell their stories about their lives and how they want to be seen. Monique Morris, Ed.D. is an award-winning author and social justice scholar with three...

Black girls, and other girls of color, experience discriminatory, racist and unfair treatment in school, including suspensions, expulsions, referrals to law enforcement and arrests on school campuses, at rates that exceed the average public school population— and far exceed those experienced by their White female peers. On today's episode, we will be hearing from Dr. Monique W. Morris, a bestselling author, social justice scholar and the founder and president of the National Black Women's Justice Institute. Her impactful new and very topical national documentary, "PUSHOUT: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools," exposes the alarming numbers of African American girls facing unfair and inequitable treatment in schools across the country and also outlines initiatives to help them cope and heal. PUSHOUT is based on two of Dr. Morris's books, "PUSHOUT: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools" and "Sing a Rhythm, Dance a Blues," and exposes a new and troubling trend: African American girls are the fastest-growing population in the juvenile justice system and the only group of girls disproportionately experiencing harsh discipline at every educational level. On this episode, we will explore how gendered racism is experienced by Black girls in school and the implications this has for Black women in working life, and importantly what we can do to fix this issue.   Get a copy of my book "The Fix: Overcome the Invisible Barriers That Are Holding Women Back at Work" https://www.amazon.com/The-Fix-Overcome-the-Invisible-Barriers-That-Are-Holding-Women-Back-at-Work/dp/1982110929 You can buy the audio book here: Audible: https://adbl.co/2sLCbEH Google Play: http://bit.ly/38w03er   -- To check out episodes you missed or learn how to partner with us, visit thefixpodcast.org Sign up for my newsletter: thefixpodcast.org/newsletter Check out my website: michellepking.com This show is produced by Hueman Group Media.

Our black girls are being targeted in the schools for being who they are. The way they wear their hair, their body shapes, how outspoken and intelligent they are etc. Teachers can't handle these girls so they are kicking them out. When girls get kicked out of school it leads to criminal activities. The girls get arrested, then they have a record . This must be stopped. Women in this country need to help us fight for the rights of the black girls. Stop racism now! We can't afford to leave our girls behind. They need our love and support. When I watched the film PUSHOUT criminalization amongst black girls I became very angry! What must I do to help? What can you do to help?

God is calling us to push out from the shallows and to move out deeper as a church. All the conditions change when you push out deeper. When we step out in obedience it can often be a scary place, but it’s the place we experience incredible provision from God. The context of blessing is obedience. God is calling us to put a fresh commitment down. There is nothing more important than loving Jesus in our lives. Jesus is saying “Follow Me!”

Amanda and Jenn discuss romantic comedies, books about strong women, non-murdery true crime, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Sadie by Courtney Summers, Mirage by Somaiya Daud, and Chica Chocolate.   Feedback For Bess who wants full cast audiobooks: Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo both have great full cast recordings and I think they would work well for someone who liked His Dark Materials. --Insider Sibyl For the same person, anything by Tamora Pierce. At least one of her books was specifically written for audio and at least some were done by the company Full Cast Audio, who frankly has a lot of good middle grade fantasy stuff. --Insider Alanna   Questions   1. Hello! I’m a huge fan of your podcast! I was hoping you could help me find some books to get me through a sort of stressful time. For the next two months I’m going to be working three jobs in two states - with 7 hours of travel each way when I switch states every week! I’m hoping to find some lighthearted yet well-written romantic comedies to help me de-stress during the long bus rides. I am open to almost any genre, as long as it’s smartly written. I love Jane Austen (though not Austen retellings unless they involve zombies), Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Eleanor Oliphant, and This is Where I Leave You. Stardust is my favorite Neil Gaiman novel. I was less keen on Attachments and Eligible because they felt a bit heavy handed/cheesy. It’s been tough to find the right balance of lighthearted without being too sugary, so I would love any suggestions! Thanks! --Andrea   2. Hello, ladies! I'm looking for a book about strong women that has a specific flavor to it. I can't describe it exactly, but books that have that feeling that I've read are The Help and Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe. I love books that focus on women's relationships with each other, bonus points if it's historical fiction. Thanks in advance! --Therese   3. Hi, My mother retired a couple of years ago, and has been using some of her newfound free time to read a lot more. I am one of her main sources of reading recommendations, and am wondering if there is some stuff out there that I am missing that she might love. My recommendations tend to mostly be SFF, historical fiction, and non-fiction, with some YA that usually overlaps with SFF or historical. She also reads mysteries, but I am not looking for recommendations in that genre at this time. One of my main goals in my recommendations has been writer and character diversity: there are enough recommendation lists out there of books by straight white guys. We are also both white women, so I feel that it is important for us to educate ourselves on the stories and perspectives of people different from ourselves.

I would prefer backlist recommendations I may have missed, as I am pretty good at keeping up with new releases and determining if they seem interesting to either one or both of us. Thanks! --Mary   4. Hi! I'm wanting to read more fantasy and sci fi books as they're two of my favorite genres even though I haven't read a ton of books from either. I grew up reading Harry Potter. I've recently read The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb, and mostly enjoyed them but I was very disappointed in the lack of female characters. I would love to read a fantasy or scifi book where several of the main characters are women, and that isn't graphically violent and doesn't include explicit sex scenes. I've read and enjoyed the first two books in the Southern Reach trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer (reading 3 now) and Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series. Thanks!! --Valerie   5. Hi, I'm looking for an audiobook for the Dr. I work for. He and his family with children aging from 18 to 6 years of age travel by car often. I'm looking for an adventure even a true life adventure, that would capture the attention of the children as well as the adults without a lot of swearing as they are a religious family. I know it's last minute. Your help is much appreciated --Tiffany   6. I need a recommendation to fulfill the Read Harder Challenge #2, a book of true crime. So far a lot of what I'm finding is things about serial killers or school shootings and for various reasons, books about murders, shootings, extreme violence etc are too triggering for me to get into a this point in life. But surely there must be true crime books about other topics? If it were a movie, I'd think something like Oceans 11 or Catch Me if You Can. Books about abductions or kidnapping are okay as long as they aren't too grisly or graphic. Thanks in advance for your help! --Jessica   7. Greetings, Jenn and Amanda! This is perhaps oddly specific, but I have recently realized that a premise I always love, whether in movie, TV, or books, is “unlikely group stranded together somewhere due to inclement weather.” I have always loved huge snowstorms and the resulting inability to go anywhere or do anything but hang out at home and read. I love seeing or reading about characters in a similar situation. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a snowstorm that’s keeping the characters stranded, but that’s my favorite. I am open to any genre, but prefer romantic or other interesting interpersonal plot points to scary ones (i.e. group of people stranded by snowstorm deals with deranged killer on the loose). I love your show and I thank you! --Darcy   Books Discussed   For a Muse of Fire by Heidi Heilig (out Sept 25) Secondhand Time by Svetlana Alexievich The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn The Color Purple by Alice Walker Girl Waits with Gun by Amy Stewart The Kindness of Enemies by Leila Aboulela Bone & Bread by Saleema Nawaz (TW: eating disorder) The Five Daughters of the Moon by Leena Likitalo Bannerless by Carrie Vaughn The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle The Man Who Loved Books Too Much by Allison Hoover Bartlett The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean Snowspelled by Stephanie Burgis (rec’d by Jess) The Big Bang Symphony by Lucy Jane Bledsoe

This has been one of my favorite interviews so far. I had the chance to interview Dr. Monique W. Morris. We discussed the trauma many black girls experience and her book "Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools."It's important that progressives master intersectionality in reality and in practice and not co-opt the language of intersectionality for political expediency.

Students all over Philadelphia are being pushed out of schools and right into the school to prison pipeline. This is happening because of the lack of resources inside schools and the use of harsh discipline practices that force students into the criminal justice system. But students from several organizations are fighting to end the school to prison pipeline, as members of the Campaign for Nonviolent Schools. Many of these students shared their experiences at an event called Youth Speak-Out Against Push Out. It was a part of the Dignity in Schools National Week of Action on School Pushout. This radio piece features students' voices from this powerful event. It was produced by Shayla Johnson and Andrea Jobe.

Host Theresa Edwards featured the Dignity in Schools Campaign on the Justice4Children Radio Program to discuss the National Resolution for Ending School Pushout and concrete policy reforms to end pushout.
