Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Institutional and ritualistic abuse survivor, whistleblower and overcomer, published writer and author, public speaker and podcaster, travel lover, campaigner of historical child abuse, and a man determined to speak out, challenge institutional defensiveness, and advocate for survivor-led accountability and change: Rafael Viola A little bit about Rafael and what you can expect to hear on today's episode: In the gritty underbelly of 1960s Britain, where poverty gripped families like a vice and the Catholic Church loomed as an unassailable pillar of holiness, a young boy named Rafael Viola was thrust into a nightmare that would test the limits of human endurance. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Rafael grew up in a bustling household of many siblings amid the stark realities of deprivation. In 1969, at just nine years old, Rafael's family relocated to Coventry, England, seeking better fortunes. But the transition shattered him. A psychological test labeled him "severely retarded" - a misdiagnosis that would haunt him for years. His mother, unable to read or speak English fluently, unwittingly signed papers committing him to the care of the local authority. As a Catholic, he was sent to Croome Court, a so-called boarding school run by the Sisters of Charity of St. Paul's Apostle under the Birmingham ArchdioceseFrom the moment he arrived at nine and a half, Croome Court became a chamber of horrors. Housing around 150 children - many who were orphans, traumatized children, and children labeled as "feeble-minded" - the institution was a breeding ground for unimaginable atrocities. Nuns, priests, and staff wielded terror like a divine right.But the abuse went far beyond bruises. Priests and staff ritualistically raped, abused and tortured children, in a pattern dating back to the 1930s, as reports later revealed. Allegations of murder surfaced - two children killed by the same order of nuns. Rafael himself endured beatings, waterboarding, scrubbing filthy toilets in pajamas with drain fluid, and being locked in pitch-black cupboards for days without food. Today, Rafael stands unbowed - a messenger of truth, protected by a higher force. "I think I'm a messenger... I had to go through all that pain and suffering to tell my experiences." He amplifies survivors' voices, demanding justice, compensation, and change. "These atrocities are still going on... we have to stop it."

The world we find ourselves living in today is a world of increasing violence, chaos, despair and interior isolation. It's a world in which so many are connected through the means of modern communication, such as through the daily headlines and social media. As a result, we are increasingly aware of the countless problems and tragedies that so many people face each and every day. These tragedies are becoming a means of constant curiosity, satisfaction, and even obsession for so many. As a result of being constantly bombarded with the sensational problems in our world, we are drawn in, daily, to the painful drama of a fallen world. We see sin and its consequences everywhere we look and it takes a toll on our souls.So how do we deal with this constant awareness of the evils, sins and pain of so many people on such a regular basis? The only answer to that is what this book is all about: The Divine Mercy.The Divine Mercy must become the lens through which we see all things. It must become the filter for everything we take in and everything we give out. The Divine Mercy is so deeply needed today and we can rest assured that He who is divine, desires to bestow this precious gift in abundance.What is Mercy? More specifically, what is The Divine Mercy? The Divine Mercy is the grace and love of God alive in our lives. It's God acting in us, upon us, and through us. It's God taking control of our lives and teaching us how to think and how to act. It's God possessing us so that we do not become possessed by the craziness of the world we live in.The Divine Mercy of God is like a fountain of endless water in the midst of a parched and arid desert. It's the source of refreshment and newness of life that we all seek, whether we realize it or not. It's the deepest longing of our hearts and the only thing that will ever satiate the longing we have.The world we live in tries to satisfy and satiate us through constant stimulation, excitement, drama and intrigue. The world is constantly offering us a false sense of happiness and fulfillment. The first step to discovering The Divine Mercy of God is to see the world for what it is. To see the lies and deceptions all around us and to turn our eyes to this font of truth and grace that we were made for. We need to turn to The Divine Mercy.As a fountain of grace, gushing forth in an arid place, The Divine Mercy of God comes from a hidden source, keeps going and never runs out, and produces all that we need to find satisfaction in life. It's like a vast ocean that we are called to plunge into and enter its depths. It's endless and all-consuming. Jesus has always given us images to try to describe the love He has for us. He is the loving Father, waiting for His wayward son to return. He is the Good Shepherd who seeks out the one stray sheep. He is the Good Samaritan who cared for the foreigner in dire need. Of course, these can never fully explain the depths of His Mercy and love. Each image brings its own meaning to each person based on one's own personal experience and history. One recent gift that God gave to us is Sister Maria Faustina Kowalska. She was born on August 25, 1905 in Kraków, Poland and died October 5, 1938 in the same city at the age of thirty-three. At the young age of twenty she entered the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Warsaw and was later transferred to Płock and then to Vilnius. It was in Vilnius where she met her confessor, Father Michał Sopoćko who helped her immensely with many mystical graces she received from God. Sister Faustina was graced to receive daily private revelations from Jesus by which He revealed to her the abundance of His Divine Mercy.At the direction of her superior and Fr. Sopoćko and Jesus Himself, she kept a diary of these mystical experiences which is known, today, as Divine Mercy in My Soul: Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska.The goal of this present book is to walk through the pages of her Diary, reflecting upon its messages over the period of a year. The Diary is reflected upon in a way that the reader will be able to easily ponder the message of Divine Mercy as it was revealed to Sister Faustina by Jesus Himself.On April 30, 2000, Pope John Paul II canonized Sister Faustina on Divine Mercy Sunday. With her canonization, the messages of Saint Faustina continue to spread to a world so desperately in need of God's abundant grace. On December 8, 2015, Pope Francis began an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy for the Church and world. This book is a fruit of that Year of Mercy and was written during that Jubilee Year so as to help each person who reads its pages to enter more deeply into the Divine Mercy of God for years to come.

This episode of the Italian American Podcast offers a rich and intimate look at the enduring legacy of women religious through a conversation with Sister Helen Sanchez, with hosts Patrick O'Boyle and Marianna Gato. Centered on the Religious Teachers Filippini—an Italian-founded order devoted to the education of girls and women—the episode blends personal vocation, immigrant history, and Catholic education into a single, compelling narrative. Sister Helen recounts her path to religious life as a Puerto Rican woman entering an Italian order, and her years teaching in Italian-American parishes across New Jersey, Ohio, and beyond. The discussion explores how ethnic religious communities shaped Catholic schooling—preserving language, music, and devotion while adapting to new immigrant populations. These institutions emerge not merely as schools, but as cultural anchors for successive generations. The conversation also honors the often-unseen heroism of the Filippini Sisters, from their educational mission to their wartime courage, including efforts to shelter Jews during World War II and the scholarly legacy documenting that work. Personal stories of sisterhood, aging communities, and vocational discernment are woven together with festive traditions, underscoring how faith, culture, and memory endure. Warm, thoughtful, and deeply human, this episode is a tribute to women religious and their quiet but lasting imprint on the Italian American story.

Send us a textToday's guest is someone who perfectly represents what's possible when you back yourself and just start.Kylie Frost is the driving force behind the Twisted Sisters Club here in Auckland offering coaching for swimming, biking and running. What makes Kylie's story so relatable — and so inspiring — is that she didn't come from a lifelong elite sporting background. She started later than most, finding her way into triathlon during Covid, like so many people who reassessed life, health, and personal goals during that time.From those uncertain beginnings, Kylie went on to complete an Ironman — a huge achievement by anyone's standards. But she didn't stop there. She turned her experience into purpose, becoming a coach and building a community that supports, encourages, and empowers women to believe they can do hard things too.Women relate to Kylie because she looks like a regular, everyday, middle-aged woman — juggling life, work, family, and commitments — yet she's out there proving that extraordinary things are still possible. That relatability is exactly why she instils so much trust and confidence in the women she coaches. She's walked the path herself, understands the doubts, and knows how to guide others through them.At Twisted Sisters, it's not about being the fastest or the fittest — it's about showing up, supporting each other, and discovering what you're capable of. And Kylie Frost sits right at the heart of that movement.

A Sermon for the Feast of the Holy Innocents St. Matthew 2:13-18 by William Klock Have you read a great book and then gone to see the movie and the movie totally lost the plot? Or maybe you got into a TV show, but then the longer the show ran, the more it seemed to lose the original plot? We've been watching one show that started out spectacularly, but now I'm starting wish they'd just ended it after the first season, because lately it feels like the original plot has been hijacked by today's obligatory plot about sexuality. I found myself thinking how ironic it is that in a postmodern culture that claims to hate metanarratives and insists we all write our own stories, its stories all seem to go the same way. And in the midst of it all, as we all try to write our own stories while having our stories hijacked by the various commercial, political, and sexual plot-writers of our culture, often without our even realising it's happened, well, Christmas comes. And if we'll listen, we just might hear, we must might realise that there's a greater story and a greater drama with a happier ending. A story so wonderful, so masterfully written, that it shows up just what fools we've been to try to writer our own stories. A story, too, that's full of grace. A story in which God himself has come into the midst of our mangled plotlines to forgive our bad writing, to remind us how the story is supposed to go and what a truly good story looks like, even to welcome us back into his great drama of love and faithfulness and redemption and glory. Genesis reminds us how the story was supposed to go: human beings created by God, mortals made of the same stuff as the rest of creation, but animated and brought to life by the very breath of God. And then we were placed in his temple. In the spot where pagans would place their idols to represent the presence and rule of their gods, the living God placed us. To represent his good and sovereign rule over creation, to act as his stewards, and to know the goodness and the life only found in his presence. It was a story in which we knew all those things we've recalled when lighting the Advent candles—a story of perfect love, peace, joy, and hope. And we were to be fruitful and to multiply so that we might ever expand the Lord's temple until it filled all of creation with his glory. And then we tried to hijack the temple for ourselves. Instead of being the image of God, we tried to become gods ourselves. And immediately we began to accuse each other. We began to exploit and dominate each other. Within a single generation, as Genesis tells it, we were murdering each other. We were at each other's throats. Everyone out for himself, no matter who he had to step on or exploit or enslave or kill. I talked last week about the darkness of the pagan world into which Jesus came. A world of petty and fickle gods, constantly fighting amongst themselves. Gods representing the idols of the human heart: power, sex, money, war…you name it. If it can be used to exploit others, we made a god for it. The world was dark. But there was a light—or there was supposed to be. Two millennia before, the living God had called Abraham out of the darkness of pagan Ur and set him up to be a light in the midst of the darkness. A man who knew the light of the living God and became, himself a light to the nations. At first just one man, but then a growing family, and eventually a whole nation—set apart by God and living around a temple in which that light was manifest as a visible and awe-inspiring cloud of glory. But even Israel succumbed to the darkness. The kings and people of Israel did what rebellious humanity had always done: they tried to write their own script. And so Jesus came not only to the dark world of the pagans; he also came to the dark world of Israel. Our Gospel today is a stark reminder of just how off-script things had gone for God's own people. It picks up immediately after the wise men had visited Jesus. Remember that they had travelled to Jerusalem from somewhere in the east, probably Persia, following a star that somehow told them that a king had been born. They went to the palace of Herod, who was the King of the Jews—at least in title. And when they asked where they might find the new-born King of the Jews, of course, he had no idea what they were talking about. These foreigners had to remind him of his own scriptures about the coming king, the one who would finally shepherd God's people aright, and how he would be born at Bethlehem. From Jerusalem, the wise men travelled to Bethlehem where they became the first of the gentiles to worship Jesus the Messiah. And you'll remember that an angel came to them and warned them to avoid Jerusalem on their way home. But Herod didn't forget the prophecy or the wise men. He bore the title “King of the Jews”, but he wasn't really Jewish. He was the child of a forbidden marriage between a Jew and a gentile. He was a puppet king set up by the Romans. He tried to win the people over with grand building projects and public works. The most important was a renovation of the temple. But no one like him and no one really thought he was the legitimate king. And so he was also paranoid. He wasn't above murdering his own sons just to make sure he had no rivals. And so, St. Matthew tells us, “After the wise men had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. ‘Get up,' he said, ‘and take the child and his mother and hurry too Egypt. Stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to hunt for the child, to kill him.'” Tom Wright tells a story that I expect must have happened when he was Bishop of Durham. A prominent historian who was well-known for his scepticism about the Bible showed up at church one Christmas. Wright was preaching. And when the service was over, the historian approached him and said something to the effect of, “I've got it all figured out why people love Christmas so much. It's about a baby and babies threaten no one, and so we all feel good, but in the end it's really all about nothing.” And Wright goes on to say just how dumbfounded he was. Had this man not heard the Christmas story? Right here from the get-go, an evil king—a king who insisted on writing his own story—did everything he could to stop God's rewrite before it could even be started. Considering how impious Herod was, I suspect he didn't even really believe the prophecy about Bethlehem and a king. He was just a paranoid despot who had it in his power to murder people frivolously, so…why not? You know, just in case. “So,” Matthew goes on, “Joseph got up and took the child and his mother by night and went off to Egypt. He stayed there until the death of Herod. This happened to fulfil what the Lord said through the prophet [Hosea]: ‘Out of Egypt I called my son.' And so Jesus escapes, but there's no good news here. Herod just lashes out blindly. He's powerful, he can, and he does. And so Matthew tells us, “When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he flew into a great rage. He dispatched men to kill all the boys of Bethlehem, and in all the surrounding districts, from two years old and under, according to the time the wise men had told him. That was when the word that came through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: ‘There was heard a voice in Rama, crying and loud lamentation. Rachel is weeping for her children, and will not let anyone comfort her, because they are no more.'” Tell me again how this baby threatens no one. The shadow of the cross hangs over Jesus' story before he can even walk or talk. Because Herod couldn't stand the thought of not being the master of his own story. And under threat, he did what he always did: he murdered. How many? Bethlehem was likely a town of about a thousand people in those days. There were probably somewhere between a dozen and two dozen boys there two years old and younger. And Herod didn't give it a thought to have them killed. And apparently neither did his soldiers. That, or they feared Herod more than they feared God. Again, Herod reminds us that it wasn't just a dark pagan world into which Jesus was born. The same darkness hung over Israel. Because Herod's problem is a universal one. Ever since Adam and Eve, we've all been trying to write our own stories and to put ourselves in the place of God. To define for ourselves who we are and what our purpose is. To define for ourselves what is right and what is wrong. And the end result of all of our self-serving stories is that we trample and abuse and exploit others to further our own ends. None of us has the relatively unchecked power of an ancient near eastern despot like Herod and so we balk at his evil. And yet here in Canada the official statics show that about 20% of pregnancies in any given year are ended by abortion. And that number is low, because it under-reports at-home chemical abortions. If we can get away with it, if we can dehumanise another person in our minds, and if that child threatens the story we're trying to write for ourselves, many, many, many of us will do precisely what Herod did and kill an innocent. And many will and have done it repeatedly. Abortion is an extreme example. Maybe we'd never dream of going that far to guard the narrative we write for ourselves. Maybe we'd never go that far in our attempt to play God. But this rot, this rebellion that corrupts human relationships spreads its roots through our society in all sorts of ways. Maybe it's the influence of the wicked principalities and powers that St. Paul writes about in Ephesians—trying to corrupt everything, even the good systems we try to put in place. But the rot spread. Recently I was listening to a friend tell me the havoc pornography has wreaked in her life. We tend to think of pornography use as a personal sexual sin—and that's certainly part of it—but this conversation had me thinking that at the heart of pornography is a dehumanising exploitation of others. It turns fellow human beings into objects to be used to fulfil our own ends, human beings turned into non-player characters in the sinful and self-gratifying stories we write for ourselves. It's not just about sex or sexual immorality. It's about the abuse and exploitation for our own ends of fellow human beings, created by God, meant to bear his image, fellow priests of his temple to whom we have an obligation of love and humility and grace and respect. And when you think about it in those terms, you start to see just how much our rebellion against God, just how much our desire to write our own stories and to be our own gods infects and corrupts our network of relationships. Our marriages and our families break down because we choose to use our husbands or our wives or our children to fill roles in the stories we write for ourselves, instead of being the fellow players we're meant to be in God's great drama. We do the same thing in business and with the people we employ—as if they exist to serve us, to meet our needs, to act their parts in our stories. And then we get into economics and politics and without even realising it, we've let the powerful and the well-placed convince us to live out their stories—that we have to be this and buy that in order to be fulfilled and happy. That we have to support this and vote for that, that we have to hate this person over here and that person over there because they have the wrong values, support the wrong thing, or are playing parts in the wrong narrative. And so we write those people into our stories as the bad guys or the guys to be exploited or the guys to be hated or the guys who aren't really human at all—they're garbage, trash, something sub-human. And they do the same to us and it spiral and spirals and the pain and the sorrow and the hurt and tears just get worse and worse. And we get caught up in all of this and forget that none of these stories, none of these narratives, none of these dramas matter one whit. Brothers and Sisters, it's God's great drama that matters; it's God's drama that we need to remember and live. And God knows all this. He knows how we've fallen. He knows how we so want to write our stories for ourselves. He knows—better than we do—the pain and the misery and the tears that we inflict on others and that they inflict on us. And so he comes, as the baby, into the midst of the darkness and the tears and, again, before he can even walk or talk, he's a homeless refugee in a foreign land with a king looking to kill him. This was the thing no one expected of the Messiah. They expected a great king, like David, but greater. Born in a place. Eventually riding in to Jerusalem in a chariot to bash Roman heads and to set the world to rights by putting Israel on the top of the heap. They expect that because the people of Israel were still trying to write their own story for themselves. But, instead, Jesus is born in humility to ordinary parents. From his birth he knows the danger and the tears of being part of someone else's wicked story. All things that Israel should have known. This is what Matthew is getting at when he quotes Hoses saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.” That's who Israel was. They were God's beloved son and they were the rescued-form-Egyptian-slavery people, born in sorrow and tears and pain, exploited and abused by a king who thought he was a god and who forced them to live his drama. Jesus came the same way. He knew the pain of sin. He knew the pain of abuse. He knew what it meant to be forced to live as someone else's non-player character. And in that echo of Israel's past and Israel's identity, there's hope. Again, Matthew cites the prophets—this time Jeremiah—as he recounts the horrible murder of the holy innocents of Bethlehem. Think again of Pharoah, threatened by the fruitfulness of the Israelites. Pretty soon there would be more of them than there were Egyptians. And so he ordered their baby boys to be drowned in the Nile. Rachel wept for her children, as Jeremiah said. But Moses, Israel's deliverer—Israel's first “messiah”, if you will—escaped in the Lord's providence, and rose up to challenge Pharoah and his gods and to lead the people out of their bondage in Egypt. Just so, Matthew wants us to hear that story echoing in the story of Jesus. Like Pharoah, Herod tried to write his own story, he tried to stamp out the Lord's deliverer, but the Lord is sovereign and somehow always manages to take our bad and pathetic rewrites and bring them into his own great drama to further his own ends and to reveal his glory to the world. He did this at the cross, Brothers and Sisters. The people of Judaea, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the priest and Levites and scribes together with Pilate as the representative of Rome and the pagan nations, they tried to write their own story—a story in which Jesus was a pretend king and a blasphemer of the temple and the things of God, a story in which they were right and Jesus was wrong, a story in which they were justified in rejecting and mocking and crucifying the son of God as a false messiah. And that Friday when Jesus gasped out, “It is finished” and his friends took him down from the cross and buried him in a tomb, the people of Judaea, the Pharisees and the Sadducees, Pilate and Rome all thought they had the happy ending they wanted. They were the heroes of their own stories and Jesus was dead, but all the while God was using their rebellion and their grasping at godhood to his own ends. They rebelled, but God in his sovereign grace, incorporated their stories into his own to serve his own ends. A story in which evil and sin and death foolishly concentrated themselves all in one place, in which evil and sin and death did their worst—and failed—as three days later Jesus burst out of the tomb with the power of God's life and his new creation. Burst from the tomb alive to sweep the whole of creation itself up into God's great drama of light and life. Brother and Sisters, that's grace. If this were one of our stories, we'd fire the writers who made such a mess of it and consign them to oblivion, but God instead comes in love and grace to forgive and to set right. He takes our horrible stories and, master storyteller that he is, he uses them for good and instead of consigning us to oblivion, he offers us our places back in the great divine drama we once rejected…if we will only trust that he is the way and the truth and the life, if we will give him our allegiance and pledge to live out his story instead of ours. It should be such an easy choice when see the wake of destruction our stories have left in contrast to his great story of love and grace that leads to life and new creation and all the sad things we've written for ourselves somehow one day becoming all untrue. Brothers and Sisters, hear the Christmas story again this year. Really and truly hear it so that it drowns out and overcomes all the other narratives and stories and dramas you've been hearing and living. Let it be a reset. Let this story of God, humbly incarnate who humbly dies for rebellious sinners, let this truth become the truth by which you measure everything. Let the glorious light of resurrection and new creation and the presence of God be your hope and your only hope and be so overcome by it that you lose all desire to write your story for yourself, and choose to become a faithful player in Jesus' drama of love and peace, of joy and hope. Let's pray: Almighty God, whose loving purposes cannot be frustrated by the wickedness of men, so that even infants may glorify you by their deaths: strengthen us by your grace, that by the innocency of our lives and constancy of our faith even to death, we may glorify your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

This week on The Sisters of the Shire Podcast, we're bringing you a special bonus Christmas episode that trades epic quests for hot cocoa and childhood wonder as we dive into Tolkien's Letters from Father Christmas. This is an episode made for indulging your inner child—and maybe sharing with the actual children in your life—as Ashley and her daughter Lizzie take turns reading selections from the letters, while Abi and Ashley pause to discuss the unmistakable Tolkien-ness woven through every polar bear mishap and goblin-infested snowdrift. We talk about what these letters reveal about Tolkien as a father, a storyteller, and a world-builder, and why this small, playful corner of his writing still feels so magical. Settle in by the fire and join us for a Christmas episode that's more North Pole chaos than Middle-earth catastrophe.https://linktr.ee/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/sistersoftheshirepodcast/https://www.patreon.com/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/1HIhmdeX6761vi7RyOjl8f?si=_qwdGdP7SbmAP2RWlji54w
In this episode, Shelby and Laura review Disney's newest animated movie 'Zootopia 2'! The two discuss how they liked the 2016 original movie, argue whether either the films were "cop propaganda," and debate which Shakira song we prefer: "Zoo" or "Try Everything." Shelby and Laura also talk about how political the movie felt, with themes of gentrification, immigration, indigenous rights, and corrupt government.Interested in more movie reviews?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Join us this week as we go from Secret Santa turning way more dramatic than planned, to unhinged Christmas opinions and Would You Rather questions that fully derailed the episode. There were tears (don't ask), questionable Christmas food takes, family pressure chat, and at least one moment where we definitely overshared. We talk regifting crimes, awkward Christmas questions, festive flirting, naughty vs nice behaviour, and why Christmas dinner is basically a high-stress endurance sport. All wrapped up in pyjamas, and classic Sisters chaos.

This week on the show, Leslie and Rochelle got together for a delightful chat that covered everything from custom bling to future crafting adventures! The duo gushed over fabulous new loot, including gorgeous custom bags made by Reba and a thoughtful surprise from Debbie Mitchell. They also took a moment to appreciate the kindness of their community, all while chatting about exciting events like the upcoming Quilters Affair in Sisters, Oregon, which is absolutely packed with renowned teachers. So much fiber-filled fun out there!Shifting gears to the business of beautiful quilts, Rochelle gave a real-time update on her longarm quilting work, which hit a snag thanks to a pesky blown fuse. The machine is currently benched while waiting for a replacement part to arrive by the weekend, which sadly meant letting customers know their Christmas quilts would be a bit late. However, it wasn't all trouble, as Leslie excitedly shared her new love for new SewTites magnets for her leaders that are making the process so much easier! A new t-shirt quilt project is also on deck, requiring some careful piecing and centering on the longarm. The conversation concluded by touching on family notes, including Rochelle's father's death anniversary and some humorous family tales. This is a good one that you won't want to miss!Send us a textFollow Leslie on Instagram at @leslie_quilts and Rochelle at @doughnutwarrior
Am I the Jerk? is the show where you can confess your deepest darkest secrets and be part of the conversation.
The way people approach children’s books in the U.S. has changed a lot over time. Philosopher John Locke helped popularize the idea that learning to read should be fun with his 1693 treatise Some Thoughts Concerning Education. Fast forward 300 years and television series continued Locke’s legacy. Today's adults might remember the joy of reading being touted to young people through shows like Arthur and Reading Rainbow. The subjects of books for young people continue to change as well. The Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the University of Wisconsin—Madison tracks diversity statistics on the books they receive. 2024 was the first time since they started tracking that over half of the books had “significant BIPOC Content.” That designation takes into account the characters, settings and topics of books. This hour, we’re talking to authors about representation in young people’s literature. GUESTS: Ainissa Ramirez: Award-winning scientist and science communicator. She has worked at Bell Laboratories. Her latest book is a picture book called Spark: Jim West’s Electrifying Adventures in Creating the Microphone. Angeline Boulley: bestselling author of Firekeeper’s Daughter. Her new book is Sisters in the Wind. If you want to learn more about the Indian Child Welfare Act, you can listen to our interview with Matthew L.M. Fletcher.

Francheska and Misheila Martinez were twin sisters living in Paterson New Jersey in the spring of 2000. But that summer both of them disappeared–separately–and the police assumed they were runaways.
