The first sentence of Stephanie Land's “Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive” reads “my daughter learned to walk in a homeless shelter.” That life of struggle transformed when Land wrote Maid, which inspired a Netflix original series, but with the success came a new Labyrinth - one of PTSD, imposter syndrome, and misunderstanding.

I had the honor of chatting with the phenomenal Stephanie Land, an author and activist whose voice resonates deeply with so many of us. Stephanie's work sheds light on the crucial issues of social and economic justice, all while sharing her powerful journey of parenting under the harsh reality of poverty. You might know Stephanie from her debut book, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive. This raw, unfiltered look at her struggles became a #2 New York Times bestseller and captivated millions as a hit Netflix series.  The Netflix adaptation of Maid wasn't just popular; it was transformative. Reaching 67 million households in its first four weeks, it became Netflix's fourth most-watched show of 2021. The series' impact was so profound that it led to a record number of calls to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, showcasing the real-world change that powerful storytelling can spark. With over 60 million hours of viewing in the first half of 2023 alone, Maid continues to inspire and resonate across platforms like TikTok. But Stephanie's journey didn't stop there. Her second book, Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education, debuted in November 2023 as Good Morning America's Book of the Month and was hailed as one of the best books of the year by Amazon. It even garnered a nomination for the Reading the West award in Biography/Memoir. Publishers Weekly gave it a starred review, calling it “eye-opening and heartrending.” Class takes us through Stephanie's senior year in college and her daughter's first year of kindergarten, highlighting the challenges they faced and the socioeconomic barriers they overcame together. Beyond her books and speaking engagements, Stephanie is an arts and entertainment ambassador for the National Domestic Workers Alliance, championing the rights and recognition of over 2.2 million essential workers in the US. Her advocacy ensures that nannies, housecleaners, and home care workers receive the respect and rights they so richly deserve. Our conversation was filled with raw honesty, heartfelt moments, and a profound understanding of the struggles many face. Stephanie's story is not just one of survival but of relentless hope and unyielding strength. Tune in to this episode to hear Stephanie's inspiring journey firsthand.

When Stephanie Land set out to write her memoir, Maid, she never could have imagined what was to come. Handpicked by President Barack Obama as one of the best books of 2019 and later adapted into the hit Netflix series Maid, Stephanie's escape out of poverty and abuse in search of a better life inspired millions. Maid was a story about a house cleaner, but it was also a story about a woman with a dream. In her new book, Class, Land takes us with her as she finishes college and pursues her writing career. Facing barriers at every turn including a byzantine loan system, not having enough money for food, navigating the judgments of professors and fellow students who didn't understand the demands of attending college while under the poverty line — Land finds a way to survive once again, finally graduating in her mid-thirties. Class paints an intimate portrait of motherhood as it converges and often conflicts with personal desire and professional ambition. Who has the right to create art? Who has the right to go to college? And what kind of work is valued in our culture? Class grapples with these questions, offering a searing indictment of America's educational system and an inspiring testimony of a mother's triumph against all odds. Stephanie Land is the author of the New York Times bestseller Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive, called “a testimony…worth listening to,” by The New York Times and inspiration for the Netflix series Maid. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Atlantic, and many other outlets. Her writing focuses on social and economic justice and parenting under the poverty line. She is a frequent speaker at colleges and national advocacy organizations. Find out more at Stepville.com. Sara K. Runnels is a seasoned humor writer, copywriter and writer-writer living in Seattle, WA. She is a regular contributor to The New Yorker, and her satire has been featured in McSweeney's, Betches and Overheard, among other publications that respect scintillating wordplay. Sara has also spent more than 15 years pushing corporate boundaries by writing extremely fun and edgy copy for a variety of popular brands (including airlines, TV networks and dating apps—all of life's necessities). Her witticisms, viral one-liners and sharp social commentary can be found, quite literally, all over the internet (@omgskr). She specializes in clever dating and relationship content, and always has something to say about politics, pop culture and the Pacific Northwest. She is currently working on a funny novel in between episodes of terrible reality TV.  Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education The Elliott Bay Book Company

Those living in poverty often aren't seen or acknowledged on a daily basis by the rest of society. There are organizations and government agencies that try to help. And many who express empathy, but do they really know how difficult life is for someone who doesn't have resources and may not know where their next meal is coming from. With that in mind, it's not a big surprise that there aren't a lot of books or TV shows about poor people. So, when Stephanie Land's debut book Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay and a Mother's Will to Survive, chronicling her struggles as a single mother living in poverty became a best seller in 2019, it opened many readers' eyes about how hard day-to-day living is for poor people. More people  learned about it when Maid inspired a TV series on Netflix. Stephanie Land has written a new book – that just went on sale Tuesday called Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education that describes her time trying to juggle raising a daughter, a pregnancy, going to college to get a degree, not bringing in much money and fighting to realize her dream of becoming a writing. Stephanie Land was on The Spark Friday. Stephanie Land will appear at Midtown Scholar Bookstore in Harrisburg this Saturday, November 11th at 6 p.m. to discuss and sign copies of her new book.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Driving Dignity with Dollars:  Bram Zeigler, Founder of Capitalists for Shared Income, on Putting Cash in Hands of Those Who Need it Most

This is My Silver Lining

Play Episode Play 41 sec Highlight Listen Later Jul 9, 2023 46:58


For Bram Zeigler, an economist and unapologetic capitalist, changing the narrative on poverty starts with dignity and self-determination.  In 2021, Bram founded Capitalists for Shared Income (C4si).  Inspired by the work of Milton Friedman, who advocated for a negative income tax in the late 1960s, C4si offers an innovative approach to address poverty and income inequality.  Through one-time debit card cash payments of $58, C4si partners with existing nonprofit organizations that work with the disenfranchised to lift them out of poverty.  While $58 may not seem like a lot to many listeners, it can make a lasting difference to someone in need of groceries, a tank of gas, or an oil change.  Bram intentionally chose $58, which is "a day's pay" for anyone working a job at today's federal minimum wage.  That's a full day's pay — $ 58.While he sees a role for the government in addressing income inequality, Bram's focus is on the private sector.  Despite its imperfections, Bram believes that capitalism is the best economic system we have devised to allocate resources and reward individual effort efficiently.  For the system to work for everyone, however, Bram believes that the individuals and organizations who reap the benefits of a free market economy are also responsible for self-regulating and addressing the widening income disparities between rich and poor.  Working with his board, partner organizations, and investors, Bram is applying his expertise in Asset Management to raise an endowment to fund C4si's cash distributions.  Through C4si, Bram has created a life with social impact, one debit card at a time.  Episode Links and Resources:Capitalists for Shared IncomeA New Year's Resolution For Capitalism, Kevin Coldiron, Forbes, January 6, 2022Milton Friedman - The Negative Income Tax, interview on “The Firing Line with William F.

Ryan Prior covered health, science, and wellness during the Covid-19 pandemic as a journalist based at CNN's World Headquarters in Atlanta. He specializes in feature writing, going deep with characters who are on a mission, and who have a message for all of us. He is fascinated by figures, large and small, who dedicate their lives to changing our world, profiling Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi, legendary journalist Ted Koppel, and New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Land, to name a few. He is most passionate about writing on politics, foreign affairs, health, and science. In 2019, Prior wrote about a college dropout, bedridden for 11 years, who went on to invent a new surgery and cure himself. The story received the highest engagement of any story published by CNN in 2019, and the third-highest for all online news outlets, according to Chartbeat. Prior has walked along the Berlin Wall interviewing an artist who transformed the symbol of the Iron Curtain into the world's longest art gallery. He stood on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange, where he interviewed entrepreneurs at the top 50 companies in the world with founders under 26. He walked the campaign trail filming Jon Ossoff, as the candidate sought victory in the most expensive House race in history. And he became a producer of the "Young People Who Rock" video series, which highlights young idealists seeking to change the world. In 2021 he was named a Journalist Law School Fellow and in 2019 he was selected for a RIAS Fellowship, traveling with American journalists to meet with EU, NATO, and German officials in Brussels, Prague, and Berlin. He is a five-time Stanford Medicine X ePatient Scholar. And he sits on the board of directors of the #MEAction Network. Prior started as a News Assistant at CNN in 2015. He has published stories for CNN's US, World, Business, Health, Style, Travel, Tech, Politics, Impact Your World, and Freedom Project sections. Prior to joining CNN, he directed, produced, and wrote a feature-length documentary called "Forgotten Plague," which the Huffington Post called a "Must-See Documentary." He has also written for the Daily Beast and USA Today. While a student at the University of Georgia, he co-founded the Georgia Political Review and served as editor-in-chief. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UGA with degrees in English and international affairs, and was recently named to the school's 40 Under 40 list for 2018. His book, The Long Haul: Solving the Puzzle of the Pandemic's Long Haulers and How They Are Changing Healthcare Forever, is out November 15, 2022 through Post Hill Press/Simon & Schuster.

Inspired by Stephanie Land's memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive, Netflix's Maid follows Alex (Margaret Qualley), a young mother who escapes an abusive relationship and gets a job cleaning houses in order to provide for her daughter. Showrunner Molly Smith Metzler recalls the moment she knew she had to adapt the memoir for TV: "[John Wells] handed me the book, and I went home, and I read it that weekend, and I was like, 'Oh, no, I have to do this.' I say 'Oh, no' because I knew it was going to be very hard. It's an incredible memoir, but not a natural fit for television... I knew it was going to be hard to adapt, but I also couldn't picture anyone else doing it." Metzler goes on to speak on the importance of taking notes and moving on to what's next: "You get all these notes because something is exciting to people, and then what can happen is you just spend all of your time rewriting it... My big advice is when you have the thing that finally gets read and people get excited, don't spend two years rewriting it; write the next thing because you can't rewrite things for different people. You just lose your sense of self, and you'll lose your mind, so always be thinking about the next thing; always be writing the next thing." Maid is currently streaming on Netflix.
