Debbie Millman has written love letters before. Her 20 years of creating and hosting the popular podcast Design Matters is just one of them. Her many books, several of them established reference books in the design and branding worlds, are among others. I am guessing she's written a few to her wife the author Roxanne Gay, who contributed recipes to Debbie's newest book. While I enjoy all good love letters, Debbie's newest love letter in book form, (launching next week - April 15th) entitled Love Letter to a Garden, is one that definitely caught my eye and ear. I am going to wager that gardeners, young and old, new and longstanding, all feel that quickening of their pulse with Spring, sap rising, bulbs blooming, the new season all a bright shining blank page of possibility. It is a distinctive and palpable kind of love. With April and the season's annual returning sense of rejuvenation, resurrection, and regeneration, Debbie Millman's new book - Love Letter to a Garden – captures that particular passion many of us will recognize of falling in love with gardening…every single season. Debbie has accomplished in one beautiful seed-like book so much of what I have hoped to capture in 10 years of Cultivating Place – the WONDER of what it means to identify as a Gardener in our world, the EVERYTHING that Gardens bring to our lives. I am so pleased to welcome Debbie to CP this week. Enjoy! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud and iTunes.

Kanske är detta en modern feministisk klassiker, mycket snack har det i alla fall varit kring den här boken och det var på tiden att även vi tog den an. Anna tycker att den stundtals är vedervärdig och kan inte fullfölja projektet, Fia uppskattar istället plottrigheten och myser av detaljerna. Men tema, anda och argumentation faller oss båda i smaken. Roxanne Gay bjuder på essäer i starkt engagerande ämnen så som feminism, ras och privilegier och analyserar hur dessa skildras ur ett amerikanskt samtidsperspektiv.
There are more guns than people in the United States. About half of the guns in the world are owned by Americans. About 45,000 Americans die from gunshot wounds each year, and more than 100,000 survive shootings. We view guns as inherently masculine, and there is distinct racial coding in how we perceive guns and gun use in this country. Still the fastest growing demographic of gun owners is women, and Black women in particular. In a new essay on the Everand platform called “Stand Your Ground: A Black Feminist Reckoning with America's gun Problem”, Roxanne Gay unpacks gun culture and gun ownership in America from a Black feminist perspective.

This powerful episode in our Queer Futures series features an enlightening conversation about power structures with Jen and renowned author Roxanne Gay and co-writer Megan Pillow. The women explore not only the concept of individual power, but how we can engage in community empowerment. Together, they delve into how marginalized communities, particularly LGBTQ+ individuals, can claim their power and challenge existing power structures to create a more inclusive and just society. Discussion includes: Claiming Individual Power: How women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others can assert their power in personal and professional spaces. Challenging Power Structures: The importance of calling out abuses of power and questioning the status quo Empowerment Through Solidarity: The role of community and collective action in amplifying individual voices and driving social progress. Re-examining Power Dynamics: How rethinking traditional notions of gender, race, and power can lead to more equitable outcomes. Focusing on the Margins: The significance of centering marginalized voices and experiences in conversations about power and progress. Roxanne and Megan discuss practical steps that anyone can take to empower others around them. We're encouraged to ask ourselves critical questions about our own relationships to power and to question the power sources that infringe on the rights of others and use our individual power to disrupt them. Every small act of resistance contributes to a larger movement for justice. * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: “Power doesn't affect all of us equally and some people are able to wield power or are given power, and others have power wielded against them. There are all kinds of factors that contribute to the why of that.” - Dr. Roxane Gay “When you see an abuse of power, call it out and identify it. Oftentimes power works because nobody questions it and nobody challenges it.” - Dr. Roxane Gay "We have to use voting as one tool [to enact change], but we have to figure out other ways to be involved in our communities and to enact other forms of power, not just rely on voting as the singular tool that we use to try to enact change.” - Dr. Roxane Gay “The queer future is complicated. I think the queer future is much better than the queer past, and we are really enjoying a lot of freedom. But it's not enough and until all of us are free, none of us are free.” - Dr. Roxane Gay Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Bad Feminist by Dr. Roxane Gay - https://roxanegay.com/books/bad-feminist/ Difficult Women by Dr. Roxane Gay - https://roxanegay.com/books/difficult-women/ Hunger by Dr. Roxane Gay - https://roxanegay.com/books/hunger/ All of Roxane's Books - https://roxanegay.com/books/ Do The Work: A Guide to Understanding Power and Creating Change by Dr.Roxane Gay and Dr. Megan Pillow - https://bit.ly/45nxhvd The Power Book: What is it, Who Has it, and Why? by Dr. Roxane Gay - https://bit.ly/3VBRYAl Obergefell v.

"I've never read a book that so radically demands empathy and change," says MSNBC host and Citizen board member Ali Velshi. "Hunger" by Roxanne Gay is about body image and the trauma of being a rape survivor. Florida schools decided to ban it.
Sam and Dr. Marshall Poe, the creator and chief editor of The New Books Network, explore the topic of plagiarism within the academic world amid the current climate of political division. They discuss the actions of political factions aimed at either identifying and removing academics who deliberately steal the work and words of others, or attacking those academics whose political beliefs do not align with their own. Poe argues that perfection is sometimes unattainable and emphasizes the significance of the errors being unintended. Through the lens of Roxanne Gay's situation, Sam and Marshall debate this contentious issue that has polarized the nation, all while considering the context of anti-Semitism and support for Palestinian rights.

Der Klimawandel, das Patriarchat, die Überidentifikation mit der eigenen Arbeit: In vielen ihrer Texte geht Nina Kunz Themen nach, die ein Unbehagen in ihr auslösen. Sie zu schreiben, sei wie das Lösen eines schwierigen Kreuzworträtsels. Sich selbst als Autorin zu bezeichnen, war für Nina Kunz ein langer Prozess. Obwohl sie bereits seit ihren frühen Zwanzigern ihr Geld mit dem Schreiben verdient – unter anderem als Kolumnistin für «Das Magazin» – brauchte es einen Bestseller, bis sie sich traute, sich selbst diese Bezeichnung anzuheften: «Ich denk, ich denk zu viel» ist im März 2021 bei «Kein & Aber» erschienen und besteht aus einer Sammlung von dreissig Texten, in denen Kunz sich mit ihrem eigenen Erleben, ihren Gedanken, sowie jeder Menge Sekundärliteratur auseinandersetzt, von Jean-Paul Sartre über Roxanne Gay bis zum US-amerikanischen Linguisten William Labov. Aufgewachsen ist Nina Kunz mitten in der Stadt Zürich, im Kreis 4. In «Musik für einen Gast» erinnert sie sich daran, wie sie als Kind auf einer Pingpongtischplatte sass und sich die Scherben aus den Fusssohlen zog, wie sie mit ihren Freundinnen Choreografien zu «Tic Tac Toe» einstudierte und wie sie als Jugendliche die «Bar Italia» in London besuchte; ein Ort, der die englische Rockband «Pulp» zu einem Stück inspiriert hat. Und sie spricht über eines der Themen, das sie so sehr beschäftigt, wie kaum ein anderes: die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels, die sich mittlerweile direkt vor ihrer Haustür zeigen. Die gespielten Titel: Tic Tac Toe - Ich find dich Scheisse Ariana Grande - Thank U, Next Pulp - Bar Italia Sharon Van Etten - The End of the World Stereo Luchs - Ziitreis

This week, Sam's in Aruba, and despite trying to bring fun and light fare on vacation, he has been unable to break his string of very violent reads, starting with "Recursion," by Blake Crouch, where everyone dies a lot, and which is a lot like "Edge of Tomorrow," a Tom Cruise movie Sam and Hannah both like. Somehow, this triggers a discussion of Sam's in-development sci-fi novel. Then Hannah starts talking about Emma Cline's "The Guest" for no good reason; Cline's a hot new writer and Hannah liked "The Girls," her last novel. Nothing really happens, but it's good. And it leads to a discussion of Sam's issues with "The House in the Cerulean Sea," even though he's not done with it. This leads to a discussion of what exactly a "big gay blanket" is, as a seque into "Lush Lives," by J Vanessa Lyon, the first Roxanne Gay-imprint book (which Hannah sort of forgot she'd talked about before). This causes Sam to remind her that people can have sex without anything being funny about it and be reminded of "Warrior Girl Unearthed." Also not really funny, and definitely violent, is "Essex Dogs," the new historical fiction from history podcaster Dan Jones, which Sam took out of the library. The war reference reminds Hannah of "Thin Skin," the new book of anti-capitalist essays from Jenn Shapland, which sounds awesome, and Sam has researched that these essays are original to the collection and not for anyone else (per instructions).
The world truly took notice of Kirstin Chen's writing with her third book, Counterfeit, which was picked up and included on influential lists by Reese Witherspoon and Roxanne Gay. A thrilling crime story centre around friendship, prejudice, and a counterfeit handbag operation, Kirstin's book hooks you in from the get-go. Based in San Francisco, Kirstin explains how a real life crime sparked this novel into life, why it became key to exploring racial injustices, and how writing and finishing a book can be success enough.If you've enjoyed this conversation please share it and tell your friends!

The Friday Nightcap roundtable discusses Trump, Santos, the future of the Republican Party, and share their MVP picks of the week. Secy. Julian Castro, Victoria DeFrancesco Soto, Jon Allen, Charles Coleman, Gillian Tett, John Norris, Roxanne Gay, and Roy Wood Jr. join.
Hannah is in the Berkshires (or someplace) digging for ramps and concerned about her to-be-read list, but she made some time to talk books, including "Rough Sleepers" (the next Book Club book), which leads to a big discussion of why people do good works. Sam thinks it's anger. Heavy cynicism ensues. As a palate-cleanser, we then engage in a discussion of note-taking — Hannah won't write in her hardcovers — and the use of notes at Book Club and the preciousness of books. (Note: Maine and Massachusetts are NOT the only states that celebrate Patriots Day). Oh, yeah, the books we read: "Blue Skies," by TC Boyle (who's great, but stay for the mediocre TC Boyle anecdote at the end); "Symphony of Secrets," by Brendan Slocumb (don't read the jacket copy!); "Saha," by Cho Nam-Joo (Singapore is not for Sam; it's unclear whether all of his facts are in order); "You Are Here," by Karin Lin-Greenberg ("shining beacons of capitalism"). And then there's 15 minutes worth of stuff about the Newburyport Literary Festival — for which Hannah is leading a panel on the "coming of age" novel, with Allegra Goodman, Kai Harris, and Jessica Anya Blau — and how we manage our advance-reader copies. Also Roxanne Gay's new imprint and its new romance novel from Vannessa Lyon.
We know you've heard us say it before, but Francisco Tezén, CEO and President of A Better Chance. also said it. Unprompted. We are aligned! Educational opportunity and legacy is what A Better Chance is all about. For 60 years, the non-profit has identified, recruited and developed remarkable students of color from around the country and introduced them to independent schools, assisted with college admission and served as a foundation for mentoring these scholar leaders. Ask former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick or acclaimed author and cultural critic Roxanne Gay. These are just two of the many outstanding alums that ABC has produced, and yes, there are much more to come. We were honored to sit and chat with Francisco Tezén about a variety of things including educational legacy, the state of affairs in independent schools and the college counseling process for students of color. An alum of a peer educational enrichment program, The Albert G. Oliver Scholar program, Francisco is a consummate professional who leads his organization with compassion and urgency and continues to expect that students maximize their potential. Listen to wisdom from a seasoned educational administrator whose mission work is laudatory and needed.
On this week's podcast, we're celebrating International Women's Day on the 8th March and also talking about the great P.G. Wodehouse with William Humble, who's written a new one-man play, called ‘Wodehouse in Wonderland', a one-man show, touring Britain until the end of April. It stars Robert Daws, also on the podcast, as Wodehouse. In Britain Wodehouse is feted and loved for his quintessentially English comic characters Jeeves and Wooster, but he was enormously famous in America too, where the play is set, for being a talented Broadway lyricist, contributing to 25 hit musicals, including ‘Anything Goes'. William and Robert reveal less known fascinating sides to Wodehouse's character, shedding light on his notorious Berlin broadcasts, which were manipulated by the Nazis for their propaganda and caused him great shame. We also talk to Jude Kelly about the WOW Festival (Women of the World Festival) now in its 13th year and taking place at London's Southbank between 10th and 12th March. Jude set up the Festival in 2010 to celebrate the achievements of women and girls and confront global gender injustice, and it now it takes place in 30 countries. Jude gives us the highlights of the London festival including a special screening of the play ‘Prima Facie' starring Jodie Comer, followed by a discussion, and appearances by the American writer Roxanne Gay and former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

I know that things are tumultuous right now, everything seems to be happening everywhere, but I want to remind you of the words of Roxane Gay.

From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya riff about the power of female friendships and how it appears that women are genetically wired for friendships in a different way than men.According to a UCLA study, women were genetically wired to befriend and tend to people in times of stress, while men were more likely to exhibit a fight or flight response. And across their entire life cycle, females are more likely to mobilize social support in times of stress--they seek it out more, receive more support, and are more satisfied with the support they receive."Abandon the cultural myth that all female friendships must be bitchy, toxic, or competitive. This myth is like heels and purses – pretty but designed to SLOW women down."- Roxanne Gay, Bad FeministResources:Why there's nothing in the world more powerful than female friendship, in Glamour UKBiobehavioral Responses to Stress in Females, UCLA#BeAFriend Support us: PatreonEmail: friend@project-bff.comShare the love: subscribe + rate us in your favorite podcast app + tell your friendsWe use Buzzsprout to host our podcast + we love it.

This quarter on the podcast we're focused on the theme of “Wealth.” We've talked about how to go from commodity speaker to thought leader (last week's episode 291) to generating more leads from your presentations (on-air coaching call episode 290) to increasing your speaker fees (episode 289) to using our framework to create a signature talk for both impact and income (episode 288). Today we're focusing on the wealth of your relationships. After all, your net worth is in your net work. If I think about many of the speaking invitations I've received over my career, the vast majority came from my network. This episode is to help you think and plan more intentionally and proactively about building and nurturing relationships in your industry and with other speakers and event organizers. My guests are Colleen O'Mara and Jessie Nagel, who are co-founders of Hype, a PR, social, and branding agency based in Los Angeles, that they started 25 years ago (so impressive!). As you'll hear in this episode, I invited Colleen and Jessie to talk about this topic because I've seen the robustness of their network in action and how much their clients and relationships matter to them. They are soon-to-be graduates of our Thought Leader Academy, so they also share their experience and why they joined to work on their projects (for Colleen, a memoir; for Jessie, a non-profit initiative). We talk about: What their agency does, who they work with, and how it's evolved over the past 25 years How Colleen and Jessie have been intentional about building their network and creating trust Specific things they do to meet new people and to nurture relationships for their business Tips you can use, including “Always take the meeting” and the power of hosting your own events (big or small) The most impactful relationship they each made that changed their life/business Their experience in the Thought Leader Academy and why they joined About Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox. At Speaking Your Brand, we help women entrepreneurs and professionals clarify their brand message and story, create their signature talks, and develop their thought leadership platforms. Our mission is to get more women in positions of influence and power because it's through women's stories, voices, and visibility that we challenge the status quo and change existing systems.

Because of Colleen and Jessie's diverse interests, they built a client roster for Hype, which constantly challenges them and their energetic team. Today, the international Hype roster features an eclectic group of talent in entertainment + beyond. Hype recently expanded by adding a social media division, Hype Social, as well as a branding-design division, Hype Creative. In addition to her work co-managing Hype, Colleen enjoys her collaboration with an ever-expanding group of press contacts around the world. Beyond her co-directorship of Hype, Colleen writes short stories, poetry, essays; and has embarked on writing her first book-length project, "Raw Diamond: A Memoir" (www.colleenomaradiamond.com). She is represented by Editor-Agent Nancy Hancock, formerly of Harper Collins & Harper One. Colleen also hosts & moderates her own writing group each week with Writing Partner Catherine Simone Gray (Unsilenced Woman) called The Writer's Collective, which includes Writers from around the U.S. Jessie Nagel: Special Agent Jessie Nagel is the co-founder of Hype -- a sassy boutique communications company that provides brand-strategic PR, Marketing, and Social Media services to creative companies. Dedicated to the entertainment industry as a community, Hype is committed to keen storytelling and promoting the creative process. Just under two years ago, Jessie, along with four other co-founders from various disciplines with advertising, launched Green The Bid, a non-profit organization, educational resource, and community dedicated to transitioning the global advertising and production industry to sustainable and regenerative practices. Green The Bid currently has over 300 member companies (and growing) - comprising brands, agencies, production, and post - along with supporting trade organizations. Jessie's participation in the development and ongoing nurturing of Green The Bid came out of volunteer work on the West Board of the AICP (the Association of Independent Producers) for which she helped develop the organization's first sustainability guidelines. She leads the annual AICP Gives Food + Goods Drive and is a member of AICP's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. Colleen's Favorites: Book = Lisa Brennan Jobs' Memoir “Small Fry,” which I modeled my own book project on. TED talk = Roxanne Gay's “Confessions of a Bad Feminist" Quote = Dr. Maya Angelou (who I had the good fortune to collaborate with on a project about “Diversity,” before that was even a word or term, in my early 20s…): “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.” and “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style." Jessie's Favorites: Books = “Fight Knight” by Mariam Towes is a funny, heartbreaking, wonderful story told through the perspective of a precocious girl about a family of three generations of women. “Station Eleven” by Emily St John Mendel is a beautiful and haunting work of fiction about humanity's cruelty and hopeful perseverance. It's the book that inspired the equally excellent TV episodic series. TED talk = Spoken word poet Sarah Kay's “If I should have a daughter” https://www.ted.com/talks/sarah_kay_if_i_should_have_a_daughter Quote = “Don't ever make decisions based on fear. Make decisions based on hope and possibility. Make decisions based on what should happen, not what shouldn't.” - Michelle Obama
"How clean does my gut need to be in order to trust it?" In this inaugural episode of season 2 of That's No Longer My Ministry, Nadia Imafidon chats with Mayookh Barua, a North Carolina-based prose writer from India who identifies as a proud queer man. We talk about the how the colonial enterprise, as well as the caste system, have provided a framework for people to exercise othering by alluding to BIPOC folks as "dirty", what it means to rebuild trust with yourself and others, and the roles skincare, gossiping and laughter play in our healing journeys. Mayookh is always working on stories that reflect on art, queerness, and the politics of a family within the South Asian context. He has previously published at Crooked Fagazine, Mezosfera Magazine, MAP-Bangalore, and with upcoming features in kal-FICTIONS anthology, The Third Eye and The Audacity by Roxanne Gay.

What else are we gonna talk about this week? The Slap. Also, Dr. Roxanne Gay's NYT defense of having thin skin.
Welcome to a solo episode with me, your host, Tracy Cherpeski. I'm here today to share with you from the heart, how to narrow your niche and focus without narrowing your mindset. Before I dive in, I want to share with our listeners why you won't find us on Spotify anymore. I'm going to be blunt and say that I believe that when we have a platform (or multiple platforms) we immediately assume responsibility for taking great care with how we show up, and with the information we disseminate. I'd been hearing a lot about Joe Rogan, his controversial topics and his skilled and engaging interview style. I'd also gathered he was pushing a lot of boundaries. I didn't really think much of him beyond a sort of “shock jock” until I heard he had used a terrible racial slur multiple times, AND that he issued a non-apology for his despicable behavior. Then I started to ask myself why Spotify wasn't doing a better job of reigning him in or speaking up to make a statement about how his views do not reflect their own. You see, hate speech isn't protected by free speech, and Spotify is a business with a massive platform. If Spotify wanted to stand up to his bigotry and stand by some kind of company standards where bigotry and hate speech weren't tolerated, they'd have done it by now. In fact, Spotify's silence has been deafening on Rogan's appalling and offensive language and rants. After I read an opinion piece by Roxane Gay in The New York Times where she laid out the difference between censorship and curation, I was able to put my finger on why I felt such a strong urge to leave the Spotify platform. I've linked the opinion piece in the show notes if you'd like to read. It's very thoughtful, and Ms. Gay's words are so much more clear than my own. So, I'm sharing, and making a statement for myself, my company and our podcast: we have chosen to leave Spotify because we are sticking to our values as humans, and we take our responsibility very seriously. One of our values is inclusivity, followed closely by compassion and service. We feel strongly that we have a responsibility to use our platform to share good news, positive support, and love for all of our fellow humans. We will not stand by and watch, clutching our pearls. We therefore choose not to support Spotify. Silence is complicity. As business owners, we need to make a lot of decisions. Some of these decisions are easy, some are difficult or painful, and some put us at risk for upsetting people. But, we need to take decisive action if we want to keep growing. The decision to leave Spotify was one of those decisions, and another HUGE decision I recently made was to dramatically narrow my niche. Learn how narrowing your niche, but not your mind, can set you free. It can make your marketing copy SO.MUCH.EASIER to write! You'll be able to convey your message, and HOW you can support your clients so much more clearly. You don't have to wear multiple hats at all times and be circus-ready with your juggling skills. Narrowed niche. Broadened horizons and mindset. Let me lay out how I help my clients do the this. First, clarity. Get super clear about WHY you do what you do, and what's most important to you. I started with my vision of success, combined my values (inclusion, compassion and service) and THEN added the metrics I wanted to achieve. Second, decision time. Make a decision about what you're willing to do to achieve the goals and vision you lay out for yourself and your company. I have always found, both for my own self and with my clients, that EVERYTHING starts to change with the decision. It's as if you give a huge thumbs-up to the powers-that-be and suddenly the portals open for you to jump in and go gitterdun. Third, decisive, inspired action. Once you're clear and committed, you're ready to take action. One of my fellow founders in the coaching program says, “Take massive, messy action,” and I really like that, because if you're a perfectionist, you'll likely get stuck in the details and miss a lot of opportunity to grow and learn, and to get stuff done. Fourth, and finally, rinse, repeat. This is what I call “constant course correction” and I'll tell you this: 2020 can have its pivot. I think it called and asked for it back anyway. Unless you're ready to rebrand or the phone has stopped ringing and the road you're on has become a dead-end, you don't need to make a sharp right turn. I hope you found this episode supportive and helpful on your journey. To learn more about developing a success mindset, make sure you subscribe so you can always catch our newest episodes. If you haven't already left a review, I am always appreciative, because your review helps other entrepreneurs find this podcast so they too can learn and hopefully feel less isolated on the “entrepreneur island.” So, grab a beverage or a snack, and listen to my journey and how I help my clients narrow their niche, but not their minds.

Today's episode is inspired by writer and professor Roxanne Gay, who has unapologetically coined the term A Bad Feminist. Her TED talk, "Confessions of a Bad Feminist" is a must-watch where she has an empathetic vision of identity and its flaws. Then we touch upon a poignant film titled, "Feminists: What Were They Thinking?" a documentary that spans women photographed by Cynthia MacAdams in the 70s to where they are and what perspectives they share today, looking back in time. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/naoness/support
In this weeks episode we discuss the complexity of feminism and elaborate the term "intersectionality" in feminism. We also discuss what womanism is and how it differentiates from feminism.

Pulling from the work of Roxanne Gay in her book "Bad Feminist{" we also critique feminism and spill some tea regarding our relationship with women during our adolescence. We hope you enjoy!
