On today's episode, I'm talking to Social Justice Educator, Researcher, and Coach Dr. Jen Fry about teaching with love.Jen has spent her entire career in higher education, transforming from a collegiate volleyball player to a coach with multiple master's degrees to an academic studying the intersection of race and athletics. Throughout her 15 years as a coach, she met her athletes with compassion and understanding while modeling what it looked like to navigate life's challenges. She just finished her PhD in sport geography, likely making her the first Black woman sport geographer in the world.We talk about:The teachers and coaches who shaped Jen's teaching philosophy.When Jen made a career move outside of collegiate athletics, she found that so many of her skills from running a volleyball program transferred seamlessly. Jen used the sum of her previous experiences to guide her research during her PhD and finish it in only three years. At the end of the episode I shared the free resource I created to help you define your values so you can make sure that you're doing the work that matters to you, no matter what your job or job title is.Grab your free copy of this exercise here!You can find the show notes and more resources at https://madamathlete.comKeep an eye out for new content or let us know what you'd like to see next by following us on social:Instagram:  @theMadamAthleteFacebook:  @MadamAthleteTwitter:  @MadamAthlete

This session will explore holistic sustainability, and look at what accessible and inclusive ‘conscious' living really means. We will look at what we as individuals can do, and highlight examples of sustainable living and Climate Change activism not often centred in the mainstream narrative. This will feed into discussing the imperative for Climate Change activism to be led by the pursuit of Climate Justice, and why we must decolonise the environmental movement and ensure that our activism is intersectional. Biography: “I run a blog, Green Soul Grace, and an Environmental Education Organisation called Earth For All. Through my blog I share my journey of learning the meaning of holistic sustainability, and hopefully, in turn, create a community where we can learn from each other and advocate for the world in which we want to live. – Grace.

"All my life I've been trying to figure out….when there's no blueprint”  - - Dr.Nino Rodriguez, Social Justice Educator, Activist, Community Organizer, Transformational Coach    The Conversation: How Do I Heal Myself When I Don't Know Where to Start?    When we get a scar, there's usually something we can get to fix it: Band-Aid, cast, or a call to the doctor.    But how do you heal your life?    In this raw and revealing podcast, Ken talks with Dr. Nino Rodriguez, a social justice educator, researcher, and community activist talk about this very important and life-altering question.     They'll discuss how they learned to create a blueprint for healing when there was no blueprint, the struggles they had along the way, and some easy steps you can take to begin answering the question “How do I heal my own life?”, no matter where you are in your life's journey right now.    Insights  Figuring out your life in a complex world  Finding your life's work and your life mission  Navigating masculinity in a socially unequal world  The danger of not following your own blueprint for success  Milestones & benchmarks...and how to figure out a life without a map  Being vulnerable & emotionally intelligent  The important role of self-love in communication  Dealing with anger  Being OK while you're still learning to be OK….Why you don't need to be perfect to heal  Finding your life's calling  “Shit's gonna happen: Using the right coping mechanism when life throws something unexpected  Being angry with ourselves  Black Men Heal and The Confess Project    Takeaways of the Conversation  Healing is not easy. It can be complicated, so let go of the “quick fix” idea    You don't need permission or validation to be who you are. Chasing someone else's idea of who you should be is an “invisible prison”.    How you love is how you communicate Understand how people around you (including you) express love and you will be able to communicate better    The Homework:   Dr. Nino talked about a lot of things in this conversation, from race to masculinity to social justice and communication.     One of his biggest themes, however, was healing.     He emphasized the point that healing is about understanding what you are healing from, what you are healing for, and what you are healing toward.    So, for this homework, take a moment to think about your own healing    All you need is 15 minutes, some inspirational music    1. (5 minutes)  Healing From Be sure to be in a safe space (mentally, emotionally, and physically) first. Then pull out a piece of paper or type on a blank page in a word processor. Write down (no filter) the answer to what question “What went wrong in my life?” Limit yourself to 5 minutes    2.. (5 minutes) Healing For  After you did the above, walk away from what you wrote (at least 30 minutes or more, if you need it)….then come back This time, turn on inspirational musi while you write a list of all of the people in your life who care about you...and that you care for. Limit yourself to 5 minutes and include yourself at the top of the list.    3. (5 minutes) Healing Toward  Continue to listen to inspirational music. This time, start imagining that your life was better. Write down what that life looks like (no filter).    Once you're done with the above exercises, put two things on the calendar:  (1) Gratitude  Find one way to show gratitude to a person you care about  (2) Self-Care  Plan at least an hour where you can step our of your daily grind and just relax. It could be on a staycation, just playing music with no agenda, reading, a book, or actual vacation  (3) Self-Build Plan at least another hour in your calendar where you dream...then take action on a part of that dream.. It could be as simple as researching a course you always wanted to take or speaking to someone in a new career field. It could also be starting an exercise routine that you never got around to.    Once you're done this week, see if these exercises helped change your life in any way    About Our Guest:  Dr. Nino Rodriguez is a social justice educator, Chief Impact Officer of Excellence and Advancement Foundation, program director of the MUST (Mentoring Urban Students & Teens), community activist, speaker, and coach.    You can find him at www.r3volutionino.com    Social Media Channels  Instagram    Twitter    LinkedIn     #HealBlackManHeal    Other Resources to Check Out  Manhood in the Making: Cultural Concepts of Masculinity    Soul the Movie on Disney +    Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot    The Confess Project 

We kicked off this season talking with Dr. Devon Smith, married 25 years, and a father of two, one in college and another in the midst of middle school. As a seasoned husband and father, he’s also got 20 years under his belt in the Santa Monica school district, as what he refers to as a ‘Social Justice Educator’. He also heads up a weekly men’s rap session whose intention is to have meaningful, honest conversations about life. With a wide span of knowledge and experience, we sat down to talk about ‘gratitude’. He pondered the thought and walked us through his thought process of taking one thing he was grateful for and going deep, an exercise we can all learn from and appreciate. He compares himself to a younger self and how that plays into him as a father and husband today. It was a great way to set the table for the season, in deep thought and gratitude For all things Dad, www.atribecalleddad.com Follow A Tribe Called Dad on IG: @atribecalleddad --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/atribecalleddad/message

With Special Guest: Jen Fry, Public Speaker and Social Justice Educator

I’m so impressed with Alisha Mernick's ability to so concisely and eloquently share knowledge about anti-racist pedagogy and critical multiculturalism. If you’re not following her on instagram, follow her! She talks about how she’s not only been through an incredible graduate program combining social justice education, critical race theory, and contemporary art, but has also been in the classroom putting that education to practical use for 10 years. This semester, she’s freelancing while mothering her toddler and using her teaching skills to share her knowledge with other educators. Alisha creates incredibly detailed miniature paintings inspired by ancient Persian miniatures and illuminated manuscripts. She spoke about her process and using a magnifying glass while painting and the precision required for this type of work. We also talked about sharing work with students and walking in their shoes. Alisha shared how being vulnerable in the classroom builds relationships and breaks down walls. She gave some great author recommendations and an incredible resource list that are all linked in the blog post. Alisha Mernick is a Visual Art and Social Justice Educator based in Los Angeles, CA. She holds her MA in Art Education from NYU, and has been implementing liberatory, critical arts pedagogy in the k-12 classroom for over a decade. Mernick is a queer, muslim, mixed race woman who’s commitment to equity work is both personal, and political. She says "I believe in art making as an intellectual activity - which reflects, as well as shapes, our world. I specialize in using contemporary art and inquiry based instruction to teach students about identity, social justice, anti-racism, and civic engagement. I believe strongly in cultural pluralism and liberatory pedagogies, and am committed to de-centering whiteness in visual art education."

We’ve all been there. All of a sudden, a normal conversation takes a difficult turn and we find ourselves at a loss. Do we fight? Do we leave the conversation all together and avoid the offending person for as long as possible? These conversations are hard and it’s easy to just avoid them or walk away. However, we’re missing out on some prime growing and learning opportunities when we avoid instead of engage. On today’s podcast, I chat with Social Justice Educator and Wednesday Keynote from the 2017 NRPA Annual Conference Jessica Pettitt. She shares: How she developed her diversity and inclusion techniques. After 20 years she had to ask, “Why wasn’t anyone doing anything different?” Why doing the best we can with what we have some of the time is better than nothing.   That entering conversations with grace and taking responsibility for how you show up in them can lead to better outcomes and a learning opportunity. The danger of “blocking” people you don’t agree with. Are you actually in danger or just uncomfortable? The importance of bringing together different voices, ideas and backgrounds in a professional environment. The difference between the picture of diversity and actual diversity. Her number one Halloween tip. You can learn more from Jessica by visiting her website where you can check out some self-assessments and buy her book Good Enough Now.

In this episode, Ryan and Chuck start to unpack the relationship between masculinity and anger and violence.

Like always, we end with an anger management tip, and talk about what's been making us angry lately.

Diverse teams can be more creative, yet team members' diverse backgrounds and identity can also lead to unwanted conflict. In this episode, Dr. Tanya Williams shares her insights about diversity, difference, power, and privilege and how to move past that uncomfortable conflict into a place of authenticity and possibility. Possibility is a precursor to creativity. This episode will help you tap into the power of diversity within your team and bring out their true creativity.  What You'll Learn Why diversity matters in teams The types of conflict diversity can cause Why diversity can be difficult to talk about Three steps to help you build inclusion in your team What is means to "create space" About Tanya Williams Tanya O.
