We continue our season focusing on belonging by talking about places and spaces. What kinds of stories do you tell about the places of your past that made you who you are? How do you tell that story when that place has been destroyed by the effects of climate change? dream hampton is an independent filmmaker who recently released a nine-minute short film called Freshwater. Prior to this project, hampton had worked on three long-form projects, including the widely recognized Surviving R. Kelly docuseries. Dealing with studios and facing creative limitations took a toll on dream, prompting a search for a creative project that could heal. In collaboration with her friend Invincible, dream embarked on a film project exploring flooded basements as a metaphor for memory, the effects of climate change, and the changing demographics of her hometown, Detroit. Freshwater was shot over all four seasons with a small crew of three or four people. My conversation with dream includes thoughts around migration and climate refugees. Why aren't we doing a better job of responding to those who have left homes that have been made uninhabitable due to climate catastrophe? We also talk about ways that urban planning and surveillance have contributed to why our places are so poorly equipped to withstand the many challenges we're facing, whether it's fire or too much water. Through her story of loss, dream invites us all to reflect with her on how we might respond to this moment when, as she so aptly puts it, nature is talking to us. As storytellers, are we listening? How will we shape our stories to meet this moment?Guest info and other notables from the episode:dream hampton's WebsiteWatch the film FreshwaterInvincibleSterling TolesBelle Isle Here's how you can donate to Maui fire victimsBuy me a coffee!Leave me a voicemail to share on the show!Follow Me:● My Instagram ● My LinkedIn● Art Heals All Wounds Website● Art Heals All Wounds Instagram● Art Heals All Wounds Facebook● Art Heals All Wounds Newsletter

This is Collision Course, a special three-part series about the breaking of Michigan's no-fault auto insurance law and how it's upending the lives of thousands of people, including one hockey legend. Vladimir Konstantinov was a ferocious hockey defenseman with a Stanley Cup under his belt and a bright future in the NHL. Then, a horrible car crash changed his life forever and left him with a traumatic brain injury. For nearly 25 years, the extensive care he needs to live a decent life has been covered by Michigan's no-fault auto insurance. But soon, that care could disappear.

Detroit-based creative, Sterling Toles, is best known for his deep catalogue of sounds, beats and pieces. Not to mention the profound gems he's known to drop about compassion, identity, and humanity. As if that isn't plenty, Sterling is also an accomplished painter, and he has now expanded into mixed media and metalwork. His first solo exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit is called s(h)elves, and it's on view now through June 12.

Sterling Toles key expression is love. Sterling's friendships and relationships are built on connecting people to his understanding of love. As a music producer, public speaker (when requested), DJ, and visual artist, Sterling's works make waves. His current visual art showing at the MOCAD is an exploration of how we identify ourselves through seeking external validation while lacking internal peace. The S(h)elf exhibit is showing in the white house space on the campus of MOCAD. The home welcomes you into the mind of Sterling's concepts on how we lack connection with others. The lack of connecting with others impacts how we love ourselves and best express who we are. There is a mix of paintings, display pieces, 3-D video work, and abstract interpretations. We discuss in depth how the showing came about and what his inspirations were for this show. Also learn about his peaceful approach toward creation.

We wrap up a historic year with a two-part special breaking down hip hop in 2020. For the first part, we’ll be diving into our personal top five favourite albums of the year (despite someone bringing a 2019 mixtape to the table
This week I'm sharing some of your favorite episodes of the year. Today, Listening with Sterling.

Manger on McNichols is out 7/22 on Sector 7-G Recordings. It would be a mistake to skip this masterpiece. https://sector7grecordings.bandcamp.com/album/manger-on-mcnichols Sterling also appears in conversation with the late, great, Philosopher-Queen of Detroit, Grace Lee Boggs, in the new-ish book, A People's Atlas of Detroit. https://www.wsupress.wayne.edu/books/detail/peoples-atlas-detroit

Sua Im is a teacher in Worchester, Massachusetts. Listening with Rikke Houd - https://bestadvice.show/episodes/2020713_listening-with-rikke-houd/ Listening with Autumn Brown - https://bestadvice.show/episodes/2020714_listening-with-autumn-brown/ Listening with Sterling Toles - https://bestadvice.show/episodes/2020715_listening-with-sterling-toles/ Listening with Eleanor McDowell - https://bestadvice.show/episodes/2020716_listening-with-eleanor-mcdowell/ Listening with Dallas Taylor - https://bestadvice.show/episodes/2020717_listening-with-dallas-taylor/ To offer your own advice, call Zak @ 844-935-BEST TRANSCRIPT: ZAK: Do you know what I love? (Long pause). Silence. SUA: Hi Zak. My name is Sua Im and I'm a teacher from Wooster, Massachusetts. I'm a special educator and this is my advice. My advice is to be ok with silence. There's a term for it in teaching. It's called Wait Time. Wait Time refers to the silence you give your students after you present a question or a thought or any other opportunity to gather their thoughts before they respond. It sounds simple but it's really hard. We want to fill the silence. We ask follow-up questions or provide clarifying points or make assumptions about what they must be thinking but really we just need to be silent. In the silence is where magic happens. I work with students who have learning disabilities, many of whom take longer to process information than their peers and they're used to people interrupting their thinking time...their magic-making. They've trained me to stretch out that silence. It's nothing for me now to be silent for an entire minute. That doesn't sound a like a long time but trust me, it is. I'm almost always surprised by what comes after the wait time. It's a letting go of control and showing trust and making space...real space for my students. ZAK: Sua's advice goes really nicely with the week-long listening series we did back in July. You should go back and check that out. RIKKE HOUD: Go somewhere where there's trees and birds and sit there. If you sit there for awhile suddenly there's this sort of parralel society of birds that have very interesting lives and you can just start by listening to them and watching them. ZAK: You've been listening to The Best Advice Show. I would love to hear your advice. Give me a call like Sua did on the hotline at 844-935-BEST.

Lastly, we will discuss the Noname and J. Cole twitter turned rap beef that broke the internet, which occurred in the heat of the Black Lives Matter protests in the United States. This beef led to interesting discussions on how best to bring people into your political movement, and the idea of policing tone or "tactics" in the first place. It's all an incredibly complex subject, and I do my best to see this issue from Cole's, Noname's, and finally my perspective as someone who is a guest in this conversation surrounding black empowerment. Let's stay connected! Find me here: https://ofbd.co/zY
