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

Despite increased attention to the mass and over-incarceration of Black men, the plight of criminalized Black women and girls remains overlooked, underreported and under analyzed. Reversing this troubling trend is the goal of this year's adult Mission Study, Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools.On this episode of Faith Talks we discuss Pushout with the Rev. Vanessa M. Williams, author of the leader's guide for the study at this year's Mission u events.Visit http://www.unitedmethodistwomen.org/FaithTalks to find out more and register for upcoing Faith Talks events.

In this Conversations episode, I speak with Denise Pines, a longtime community health advocate and media pioneer who also has become trusted resource for women as they pursue midlife wellness. She's the co-visionary and CEO of Tea Botanics and inspiration of Hot Flash Tea. Founder of WisePause, a pro-aging health and education platform, and The FemAging Project, which provides research and reports to the health and tech industry in addressing innovation for women ages 40+. Denise is on the Board of Directors for the Federation of State Medical Boards and Osteopathic Medical Board of California and she's the immediate past President of the Medical Board of California. If that wasn't enough, she's the co-founder of Women in the Room, an award-winning filmmaker who has produced 11 documentaries including the award-winning film, “PUSHOUT: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools.” Her next documentary, Anthony Fauci, will air on PBS Spring 2022. I call her a BOSS. Listen and you'll understand why.

This year, 2021, is the 120th anniversary of the first mission study, published in 1901 by the Central Committee on the United Study for Foreign Missions. Finding Peace will continue to be a book Mission u participants study together in 2021, along with Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools, Bearing Witness in the Kin-dom: Living Into the Church’s Moral Witness Through Radical Discipleship and the youth and children’s studies Becoming Peacemakers in a Culture of Violence and Responding to Violence. The 2021 theme is “There’s Far More Here,” based on 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. Many of this year’s Mission u events will be online as Mission u teams continue to keep participants safe in the ongoing pandemic while still bringing people together to learn and grow.The Mountain Sky Conference has hosted a Mission u in 2021, over four Sunday afternoons in February. More than 273 people of many ages registered across 16 states according to Cathy 
Speich-Ferguson, dean of the Mountain Sky Mission u. “We sent out invitations to all of the churches in our conference and to our United Methodist Women presidents and advertised on a national church site listing events. We shared the free event on our conference website calendar and our conference United Methodist Women website calendar,” Speich-Ferguson said. “Our conference normally would have 40 to 70 folks attend a Mission u — mostly retired and older folks — when we met in person. This virtual event has fantastic participation and is easier for folks who can’t travel, can’t get out of the house, have kids, or other barriers to participation.”While we yearn for the chance to be together in person again, we can follow the example of creative and committed United Methodist Women members to continue offering the chance to transform in our learning, to continue the century-long mission to open eyes and hearts, for, as Irene Barnes stated at the 1900 missionary conference, “Prejudice has to be overcome.” ---This episode originally appeared in the May/June 2021 issue of response, the award winning magazine from United Methodist Women.Visit www.UnitedMethodistWomen.org to find out more.

There's long been a gap in the quality of care men and women receive. Women's bodies are less understood, their health issues less researched, their solutions have frequently been "treat women as small men," their pain poorly treated or ignored, and on and on and on. That discrepancy in care is exponentially worse if the woman is Black or a woman of color; worse if she's poor, worse if she's a transgender woman; worse if she's past reproductive age. There are women, men, and organizations out there that feel like part of our family — the family that's working to improve health care for women. Denise Pines is one of that family.  She is is the co-visionary and head task master for Tea Botanics, a company that makes tea for hot flashes, among others. An award-winning marketer and serial entrepreneur, Denise has participated in 10 startups. She is founder of WisePause, a pro-aging health and education platform and FemAging 2020, a report that introduces a new industry sector, FemAging Tech. Denise cofounded Women in the Room Productions who produced the award-winning film PUSHOUT: The Criminalization of Black Girls in School. Denise is the current President of the Medical Board of California. In this conversation with Gennev CEO Jill Angelo, Denise and Jill talk about the discrepancies in care and how many in the medical community are starting to recognize and close the gap.

It's our last episode of the ZD Semester! In keeping with the season, Alyssa and Brendane discuss #BlackGirlMagic via the popular Netflix holiday movie Jingle Jangle (SPOILERS)! We discuss the origins of the phrase via CaShawn Thompson and her coinage of the hashtag Black Girls ARE Magic and how it is both celebration of Black women and girls making a way out of no way and critique of a society determined to leave us behind. We read Savannah Shange's incredible essay "Black Girl Ordinary" which teaches us to celebrate the everyday achievements of everyday Black girls. Then, we deep dive into the wonderful world of Journey Jangle - is she really the epitome of the carefree Black girl or is she just another mule for the uplift of a Black man? Listen and find out! Finally, we discuss the problems with Black women having to "save" American democracy - AGAIN. Listen all the way through for a little surprise that will help you in our book giveaway! Discussed in this episode: “Black Girl Ordinary: Flesh, Carcerality, and the Refusal of Ethnography” (Savannah Shange, 2019) Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools (Monique W.

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.

Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools is an examination of the experiences of black girls across the country whose intricate lives are misunderstood, highly judged "by teachers, administrators, and the justice system "and degraded by the very institutions charged with helping them flourish. In her new book, Morris shows how, despite obstacles, stigmas, stereotypes, and despair, black girls still find ways to breathe remarkable dignity into their lives in classrooms, juvenile facilities, and beyond.

On the next Another View an open and honest conversation with author and journalist Monique Morris, author of "Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools". In her book, Morris shares compelling stories of girls who have been marginalized and degraded, according to Morris, by the very institutions designed to teach them to be successful in society. She talks about how zero-tolerance policies and judgment only serve to alienate girls who are already struggling with issues like poverty and difficult home lives. She also offers solutions that will allow Black girls to live and learn with dignity, respect and opportunity.

Are we meeting the needs of black girls in our schools? In this interview with author Monique Morris, we talk about her book Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools, the 2016 selection for the Cult of Pedagogy Summer Book Study. Dr. Morris explains how far too many teachers lack the cultural competence to understand and meet the needs of black girls, the damaging long-term effects of this dynamic, and what we can do to change this.

Black Girls have double challenges in successfully navigating school, dealing with both racism & sexism. Monique W. Morris, author of Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools explores both the problems and the solutions. She is co-founder of the National Black Women's Justice Institute and author of 3 other books, including Too Beautiful for Words: A Novel.

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.
