This Throwback Thursday episode arrives as final votes are being counted in the 2022 elections in the United States. It's a full circle moment to revisit this powerful conversation from 2017 with community activist, TedX speaker, author of the book ​​”Black Brown and Political: Get Informed, Get Empowered and Change the Game,” and founder of the Powerhouse Academy, Chandra Brooks. In this conversation those five years ago, Chandra inspired me to get back out and canvas in support of a local candidate, Noelia Corzo, during her first run for school board in my community. Last night, my son Jacob and I, who volunteered together, celebrated with Noelia and her supporters as she received the initial promising results for her run as County Supervisor. If the votes continue in her favor, Noelia will be the first Latina woman Supervisor in our County. I'm honored to reshare this episode and acknowledge all the activists like Chandra and candidates like Noelia who have the courage and commitment to step into the arena, to sit at the table and own their power. Original Show Notes I'm honored to share this episode #32 of the podcast with Chandra Brooks, who has become a friend and a generous thought partner for me in recent months. Chandra is a wife, mother of four, a grandmother, author, entrepreneur and the Northern California Staff Director for SEIU-United Service Workers West.  Born and raised in San Jose, CA, she's passionate about civil rights, social justice, and improving voter outcomes and civic engagement in communities of color.   She's also an appointed commissioner for Santa Clara County's Commission on the Status of Women and Girls, Chair of the Justice and Advocacy Committee and elected Delegate for The California Democratic Party. In 2017 Chandra launched The SocialPreneur, a purpose driven business that prepares potential candidates to run for political office and mentors women to own their power and leadership within their company, business, and/or community. I reached out to Chandra because I wanted to talk with her the week that she released her new book, “Black, Brown & Political: Get Informed, Get Empowered and Change the Game” which provides easy to navigate tips and inspiration to help women of color get involved in local politics. In this episode, we got to dive deep into the influences which drove Chandra to own her voice and reach her fullest potential. She shares how her mother led her by example to stand up for herself as a woman at a young age and how her uncle unknowingly sparked her to strive for greatness after he doubted her future success when she became pregnant as a teenager.  And, we uncover how Chandra's ambition, value for education, and commitment to political leadership helps her inspire generations today, from her 12 year old son to the women she mentors, to sit at the table and own their power. I didn't realize when I scheduled the interview with Chandra that we would be talking the day before the November 2017 elections. The conversation couldn't have come at a better time, and her challenge inspired me to go out and do another round of precinct walking with my 5 year old that afternoon. It was thrilling to wake up the next day to news that so many women of color, including one woman my son and I had supported the day before, had been elected. Chandra, with her new book as a resource, is a powerful force to fuel this growing movement of women stepping into more leadership. I hope this conversation will inspire you, as it has me, to be part of this movement and to more fully own our power to make a difference. This episode dedicated by: Titilayo Tinubu Ali of Own Your Expertise in honor of her mother, Dr. Gloria Bromell Tinubu Topics discussed in this episode: How Chandra intended to release her book a year after the 2016 elections to encourage people to reflect on the decisions they made the year before and realize the importance of being politically involved Chandra's strong, opinionated, and independent mother and how she set an example for Chandra to not be subservient to men How Chandra intentionally teaches her children about social justice issues and about their heritage The lack of access Chandra witnessed to vocational training and education for women in a local prison, compared to the men, and how she's using her leverage as Commissioner to change that. What happened when Chandra's uncle told her “Your life is over, you might as well prepare to be on welfare” after she announced she was pregnant as a teenager. How Chandra's fascination and observation of people in leadership planted seeds for her becoming an entrepreneur The importance of seeking out mentors and coaches and not being afraid to reach out and ask for help Chandra's call to action for us to get more engaged in our local community politics Resources mentioned in this episode: Chandra Brook's Mother on a Quest Feature Chandra's purpose-driven company The SocialPreneur Women Podcasters in Solidarity Black, Brown & Political: Get Informed, Get Empowered and Change the Game!

There are some leaders who just seem to draw us out of our comfort zone and into a fresh new reality.  Victor Somers is one of those guys.  In 2011 Victor returned to New Brunswick Canada with a passion to make a difference in a community that had been devastated by military and industry closures.  He had a dream of people's lives being transformed by the gospel, but did anyone want to hear?  Victor Somers is an entrepreneur.  He starts things.  He is always dreaming of what comes next.  So he did the unimaginable.  He purchased buildings.  Run down buildings.  Buildings that were emblematic of a better day in the past.  Buildings that connected with the community's story.  People came.  They listened because Victor was leading a change in their town.  And the many who have listened have responded - and are now part of a change story that is subtly sweeping over the east side of Miramichi.This episode is Victor's story.  By his own admission, some of what he does makes him uncomfortable, but that's what happens when you blaze a trail through a new frontier.  You might disagree with some of what Victor does.  My personal journey with Vic tells me that he is fine with your (or my) disagreement with him.  I can promise you but one thing.  If you will listen to his story, you will hear something that can change your life.  Recommended resourcesHere are some printed resources Victor has recommended to us:Circle Maker - Mark BattersonCDN purchase: https://amzn.to/2AQ4gOIUS purchase: https://amzn.to/30nZUZPThe Problem of God - Mark ClarkCDN purchase: https://amzn.to/3f5dNjJUS purchase: https://amzn.to/2MEFXGeThe Nuts and Bolts of Church Planting - Aubrey MalphursCDN purchase: https://amzn.to/3fiGvxVUS purchase: https://amzn.to/3h8QwiIDreams in Small Places - Tom NebelCDN purchase: https://amzn.to/2XJecCUS purchase: https://amzn.to/3h9PK4WSupport the show

Jeder von uns kennt das Gefühl von Fülle und Mangel. Freude und Trauer. Lust und Frust. Himmel und Hölle. Gegensätze, die einander bedingen und ohne einander nicht das wären, was sie sind. Um unsere einzigartige Berufung zu ergründen, haben wir uns den inneren Kontrasten zu widmen. Unserem Licht und Gold sowie unserem Schatten und Pech. Ich persönlich habe aufgehört gegen meine Dunkelheit, oder wie ich sie gerne nenne, meine innere Armut anzukämpfen, denn sie gehört zu mir. Und wo sie ist, ist mein innerer Reichtum ganz nah. Auf unserem Bewusst-Werde-Prozess haben wir beide Seiten in uns zu erkennen, denn dadurch haben wir die Wahl, wie wir unser Leben erfahren und gestalten. Hier ist Teil 2 von «Reichtum entwickeln und Armut erkennen» mit Fokus auf die Armut.

I’m honored to share this episode #32 of the podcast with Chandra Brooks, who has become a friend and a generous thought partner for me in recent months. Chandra is a wife, mother of four, a grandmother, author, entrepreneur and the Northern California Staff Director for SEIU-United Service Workers West.  Born and raised in San Jose, CA, she’s passionate about civil rights, social justice, and improving voter outcomes and civic engagement in communities of color.   She’s also an appointed commissioner for Santa Clara County’s Commission on the Status of Women and Girls, Chair of the Justice and Advocacy Committee and elected Delegate for The California Democratic Party. In 2017 Chandra launched The SocialPreneur, a purpose driven business that prepares potential candidates to run for political office and mentors women to own their power and leadership within their company, business, and/or community. I reached out to Chandra because I wanted to talk with her the week that she released her new book, “Black, Brown & Political: Get Informed, Get Empowered and Change the Game” which provides easy to navigate tips and inspiration to help women of color get involved in local politics. In this episode, we got to dive deep into the influences which drove Chandra to own her voice and reach her fullest potential. She shares how her mother led her by example to stand up for herself as a woman at a young age and how her uncle unknowingly sparked her to strive for greatness after he doubted her future success when she became pregnant as a teenager.  And, we uncover how Chandra’s ambition, value for education, and commitment to political leadership helps her inspire generations today, from her 12 year old son to the women she mentors, to sit at the table and own their power.  I didn’t realize when I scheduled the interview with Chandra that we would be talking the day before the November 2017 elections. The conversation couldn’t have come at a better time, and her challenge inspired me to go out and do another round of precinct walking with my 5 year old that afternoon. It was thrilling to wake up the next day to news that so many women of color, including one woman my son and I had supported the day before, had been elected. Chandra, with her new book as a resource, is a powerful force to fuel this growing movement of women stepping into more leadership. I hope this conversation will inspire you, as it has me, to be part of this movement and to more fully own our power to make a difference. This episode dedicated by: Titilayo Tinubu Ali of Own Your Expertise in honor of her mother, Dr. Gloria Bromell Tinubu Topics discussed in this episode: How Chandra intended to release her book a year after the 2016 elections to encourage people to reflect on the decisions they made the year before and realize the importance of being politically involved Chandra’s strong, opinionated, and independent mother and how she set an example for Chandra to not be subservient to men How Chandra intentionally teaches her children about social justice issues and about their heritage The lack of access Chandra witnessed to vocational training and education for women in a local prison, compared to the men, and how she’s using her leverage as Commissioner to change that. What happened when Chandra’s uncle told her “Your life is over, you might as well prepare to be on welfare” after she announced she was pregnant as a teenager. How Chandra’s fascination and observation of people in leadership planted seeds for her becoming an entrepreneur The importance of seeking out mentors and coaches and not being afraid to reach out and ask for help Chandra’s call to action for us to get more engaged in our local community politics Resources mentioned in this episode: Chandra Brook’s Mother on a Quest Feature Chandra’s purpose-driven company The SocialPreneur Women Podcasters in Solidarity Black, Brown & Political: Get Informed, Get Empowered and Change the Game!

with Garrett Todd Taylor In today's episode we're shaking things up a bit as I get the rare opportunity to reconnect with a good friend Garrett Todd Taylor otherwise known as G-Todd. Garrett and I go way- way back to our days on the campus of Elizabeth City State University and although we haven't seen each other in over twenty years our conversation on social justice, entrepreneurship, and economic empowerment in our community  picks up right where it left off so many years ago... Garrett has a unique perspective as an educator, an author, a publisher and an advocate for change in our community.  He and his wife, Diane, have taken their latest venture Taylor Made Publishing and created a platform for telling our stories with an emphasis on positive imagery for our children. He's been on a world-wind tour promoting his children's books Dad, Who Will I Be? and Daddy's Little Princess, both inspired by a passion to empower his own two children. As you'll hear this was more like a strategy session than an interview and I'm thankful this tremendous socialpreneur took the time away from his busy schedule to come share some words of wisdom on Live Free Or Die Grindin'. Please help me welcome Garrett Todd Taylor to the show...     Contact Garrett: www.taylormadenc.com
