Latoya stands for living with integrity and works diligently to ensure that integrity is upheld whenever she can. This is one of the reasons she started her company Youthhype, to help disenfranchised youth have access to the same resources as other youth. LaToya attributes her strength and tenacity to the example and teachings of her mother, who beat the odds and relocated her family to the suburbs in her early twenties. Seeing her mother set and achieve high goals helped LaToya to understand anything is possible. LaToya aims to achieve her goals by any means necessary, as her mentor Malcolm X proclaimed. Being guided by this principle gives her the resiliency needed to keep going when faced with opposition. LaToya shared about her experiences with colorism growing up, and how this prolonged her journey in finding herself. Not feeling like you belong can deter you having an identity. Because of this LaToya makes sure she does not treat people this way, and is diligent in assessing her motives and intentions when interacting and responding to others. LaToya chooses to be compassionate and respectful as opposed to aggressive and combative in her dealings, as she has learned that this approach yields better results.

You may be aware that in March, the New York City Department of Education made the monumental decision to close New York City public schools to help curb the spread of COVID-19. Can you think of a better time than now for students to be enhancing their emotional resilience skills? And, if you think that social emotional learning is just for kids, you would be wrong! Coach Colette and the Start Within Podcast team are excited to join the global movement to celebrate the importance of social emotional learning (SEL) on the first annual International SEL Day on March 27, 2020. This special, Friday episode of Coach Chat is a conversation with Daniel Trinidad, the Restorative Justice Coordinator at Urban Assembly Media High School. You will hear from Daniel how implementing SEL has not only improved student wellbeing and academic outcomes, but also has enhanced the overall culture and environment in the school. You'll also hear how he has improved his own social and emotional wellbeing using the framework for himself. ************************** The Urban Assembly was founded in 1997 under the mission of advancing students' economic and social mobility by improving public education. In partnership with the NYC Department of Education, the UA has created 23 small, career-themed middle and high schools throughout New York City.

And finally, my interview with Keiko and Claudia! Making my way into Morocco, but thanks to my guests for coming into the studio a few weeks ago to record these amazing conversations for you all to hear.Today's first interview is with Keiko Sono, an artist, turned permaculturist and universal basic income supporter. Keiko's work has "one fundamental goal: to connect us to the world—to other beings, the natural environment, or objects; in present, past or future; in absurdity, wit, or utter beauty." She uses visual media, video, and text to create events and projects that focus on connections. She and I get to speak about why she left art and how she fell back in love with it, the work that she's currently doing to connect people to people and people to place, how permaculture principles now shape her life and something she's very passionate about, universal basic income. You can find all the details on her Catskill Waters Project including links to the Youtube channel and podcast here, https://catskillwaters.org/.At the midpoint of today's show, you will hear my interview with Claudia Abbott-Barish, Restorative Justice Coordinator at the Dutchess County Meditation Center. I heard her speaking at a screening for the film Circle Up (thanks for the hot tip Rashida Tyler) and knew I needed to have her as a guest. Claudia has been a natural mediator since childhood and is a community organizer at heart. Her preoccupation with systemically unheard voices in society began while organizing around various issues of environmental, racial and political injustice. Her current focus is on social disciplinary practices and how to shift from punitive and isolating to restorative and collective. She believes in the power of people and the transformative impact of sharing stories and being heard. She is driven by a desire to help create effective alternatives to punishment and incarceration that focus on community healing and understanding, over policies that separate people from their families and support systems. She's an inspiration to me and a gem of a human being who has immense wisdom to share.What a gift these two women are.

This week, we're presenting two stories about responsibility in science. Whether we're working in a classroom or the White House, we all have some level of responsibility for others. And sometimes we have to ask ourselves -- are we doing enough to live up to those responsibilities? Both of our stories today explore this idea. Part 1: On her first day working in the White House under President Obama, microbiologist Jo Handelsman receives some bad news. Dr. Jo Handelsman is currently the Director of the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as well as a Vilas Research Professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor. Previously, she served President Obama for three years as the Associate Director for Science in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). She received her Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Molecular Biology and has served on the faculties of UW-Madison and Yale University. Dr. Handelsman has authored over 100 papers, 30 editorials and 5 books. She is responsible for groundbreaking studies in microbiology and gender in science. Part 2: After a confrontation with a student, math teacher Sage begins to question whether she's the ally she thought she was. Sage Forbes-Gray has been an educator for 15 years teaching middle school pre-algebra, high school algebra and English as a second language in Spain to a variety of ages. Sage is the Restorative Justice Coordinator at her school, supporting students and staff in resolving conflict and building community. She is currently in her third fellowship as a Math for America Master Teacher and has been an active community member for the past 9 years. In her free time, she and her spouse, Amber, can be found running, biking, or exploring the world near and far with their kids, Dante, 6, and Elio, 3. Note: This June, The Story Collider is celebrating Pride Month by highlighting stories about the intersection of science and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer issues. Each of our five weekly episodes this month will include one of these stories, and you can follow us on Twitter and Instagram this month as we also share highlights from our back catalog as well.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On the second episode of Restorative Conversations, I interview Andrew Hancock, Restorative Justice Coordinator for Darlington (North East England), and Stephen Twist, a barrister and restorative practitioner in Darlington. We talk about the growth of RJ in Darlington in recent years, the development of the Darlington Restorative Justice Hub (formerly Darlington Neighbourhood Resolution), the recruitment, training and supervision of volunteer facilitators, and the differences between practicing law and practicing restorative justice.
