Episode 103. Hey there, wonderful listeners! Dr. Shawn Hondorp here, and today, I am looking forward to sharing an important episode with you. In this episode, we're diving into the essential topics of inclusivity and emotional safety in the wellness space. Inclusivity and Emotional Safety: A Personal Reflection As a cis-gender white woman with various privileges, I come to understand more and more all the time the essential importance of addressing topics related to race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, weight/body size, ability, and more in the wellness space. Staying silent about these matters serves no one, and I believe that sharing my imperfect process can help foster a more inclusive environment. Creating spaces that promote emotional safety and inclusivity is crucial for long-term sustainable change and a sense of belonging. Without these elements, true well-being is very difficult to achieve, if not impossible. Why Inclusivity Matters for Wellness Professionals As wellness professionals, we play a significant role in influencing others, including our clients, communities, and families. By learning about and promoting inclusivity, we can create a more equitable and empathetic world, and by addressing emotional safety, we can ensure that everyone feels welcome and valued in the wellness space. Learning and Growing in Inclusivity In this episode, I aim to share my journey of learning and growing in this area and the steps I take to hold myself accountable. The path to inclusivity is an ongoing process that involves continuous education, self-reflection, and open dialogue. By engaging in these efforts, we can work towards a more inclusive and diverse wellness community. Resources for Further Learning If you're interested in exploring these topics further, here are some resources that have been instrumental in my own journey:

During this on stage keynote, moderator Tabitha St. Bernard Jacobs, a Trinidadian-American mom, artist, writer, and thought leader, interviews Austin Channing Brown, NY Times bestselling author of I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness and founder/CEO of Herself Media.

Brown highlights the messy and risky nature of racial justice work, where there are no guaranteed approaches without facing trouble or dislike from others.

“When you are quite literally told that you are not human. What option do you have? What's the other option other than to overthrow the system that is telling you you're not human, you know? And so this is work, this is generational work. And we have had to do that generational work largely alone, because when women got the opportunity to vote, we were purposefully left out. When the civil rights movement was happening, we were the backbone of that mission. But our names don't appear in the books, in our history books. That we know how to move through systems that weren't built for us because there are so few that are. The only systems that are built for us are the ones we build together. Otherwise, we spend our entire lifetime in this country moving through systems that were not made for us, and in fact that weren't, not just not made for us, but made to squash us, made to make sure that we do not succeed and so in order to live into our own human dignity, the only option is to change the world because this is unacceptable.” So says Austin Channing Brown. Her ability to distill essential truths always sends chills down my spine. Austin is a powerful and resonant public speaker, racial justice advocate and educator, and author, whose bestselling book, I'm Still Here, has catalyzed an indelible impact on how we perceive and discuss what it means to be a Black person, let alone a Black woman, in America. She just released a Young Adult version, which is required reading for all of our children as we work to build an equitable future. Austin is also the CEO of Herself Media, a platform creating content and narratives to provide a supportive space for those who find themselves on the outskirts of traditional power. Today, Austin joins me in unveiling the facade of what it means to be good and how culture detrimentally enforces this burdening standard of goodness on women. We discuss the importance of anger and how it can be a navigational tool. By examining her own anger, Austin learned to move that energy toward creating community and literature that relentlessly fights for the future that America needs.  MORE FROM AUSTIN CHANNING BROWN: I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness I'm Still Here: Adapted for Young Readers Herself Media Austin's Website Austin's Newsletter Follow Austin on Instagram To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

She will discuss the central themes of her book including representation, self-love, allyship, and identity.

Austin Channing Brown - Media producer, author, and speaker providing inspired leadership on racial justice in America. She is the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of “I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness,” an eye-opening account of growing up Black, Christian, and female that exposes how white America's love affair with “diversity” so often falls short of its ideals. She joins Tavis for a conversation about her book and her work in celebrating Blackness while combating inequality through storytelling.

Millennial Theologian Jasmine (Jazz) Logan is back in the studio for Episode 32. During this conversation, Jazz candidly shares her experience as #churchgirl who grew up in the evangelical Christian church. From her perspective the #colorblind ideals of the church actually negated her experience as an African American girl growing up Christian. There were times when she felt that the church not only did not recognize the uniqueness of her experience as being a minority on the church campus but actively pointed out her differences and in same cases 'disciplined' her for them. In Episode 32, Theologian Jasmine Logan shatters the narrative that black girls setting boundaries are #angryblackwomen. We also learn how through purposeful healing (Jesus plus therapy), Jazz was able to heal her #churchhurt and found a path to her personal relationship with God. Jasmine “Jazz” Logan (she/her) is a third-year student at Wake Forest University School of Divinity. Jazz is from Arizona but most recently lived in Los Angeles, California, before attending WFU School of Divinity. Jazz has aspirations of becoming an ordained minister (denomination pending) and has a passion for teaching the next generation that they are beloved. Jazz will join That Social Work Lady Podcast as cohost for Episodes 33 - 34.

Dear adoptive parents and in particular those who adopted transracially,I'm inviting you to come learn with me. We can never know it all, mitigate it all or avoid the reality that our transracially adopted children have experienced loss and trauma in so many ways, so what we need to do it learn as much as we can in continuous and humble ways. Our kids deserve it. The best perspectives we can glean from is those who have lived it. My guest today is Lydia Faye, an adult adoptee adopted as a newborn and raised by white parents in essentially an all-white community. She had a pivotal, eye opening experience in college that shone a light on so many unexplained experiences she had throughout her life. She shares openly about her own experiences and also what she's learned through her work, mentorship and educating roles. In today's episode we hone in on loss and microaggressions and how white parents can support racial identity formation with their transracial adoptees. Please join us and share this episode with friends and family.

Claudia Love Mair and Christine Valters Paintner have a conversation about I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown.  I'm Still Here is an illuminating look at how white, middle-class, Evangelicalism has participated in an era of rising racial hostility, inviting the reader to confront apathy, recognize God's ongoing work in the world, and discover how blackness—if we let it—can save us all.

Who is your feminism for?Austin Channing Brown was named by parents who deliberately wanted people to presume their daughter was a white man when applying for jobs. Now a speaker and writer working for Racial Justice in the US and the author of I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness, she explains how her hopefulness is not rooted in white people but in the work. With candour, insight and a lot of laughter, she tells Lucy why her recent bestseller’s royalty check only reinforced her resolution that economic success should not determine her feminist principles, reveals that ‘a woman becoming herself’ is her favourite fiction genre and raves about the beauty of textile art that recalls our foremothers.

Today we have on the powerhouse author, speaker and writing coach Ally Fallon. Ally shares what her and her family’s covid experience has been like, bringing a baby into the world, living in California with the wildfires AND a pandemic and where her heart has been pulled in that season.  When Ally and I had this conversation back in the first of December, I felt like we were having a strategy session for how to approach 2021. So. Much. has happened since that day, including Ally and her family moving across the country, releasing her new book The Power of Writing it Down, but obviously so much has happened within the American climate, and as a globe we continue to walk out the pandemic, work through the vaccination journey, variants, and just… honestly grappling with the fact that we’ve been at this for a year now.  With all that being said, I feel like this conversation is really timely for a couple of reasons: We spend the first half of the conversation talking about how we have changed, for better or for worse, and how we have a choice to do something with that change as we fight forward.  We spend the second half of this conversation talking through one big shift that took place in both of us this year, and that’s how we engage the conversation of race, what it looks like to lament and learn, and process what it looks like to be a white ally for our Black brothers and sisters.  Because Alli is a coach, her new book, and pieces of its insights that she shares today are packed with practical takeaways for how to actually bring about life and thought change. It's TRULY fascinating, and I love that she walks us through how to apply that process in this episode. I love her encouragement, her honestly, and also her practical way of trying to invite people into a journey of hard work, by pulling back the layers and start small. There is such potential for resurrected life no matter where you are. No matter your heartbreak, your grief, the good you’ve seen, the hard you’ve been in, ALL of it carries possibility for transformation and being more alive on the other side of this season than you were going in it.  Connecting with Ally:  Her Books Instagram Facebook Her most recent release: The Power of Writing it Down Episode Sponsor: Hopefuel Use the code SIMPLY15 for 15% off your purchase!

This year will be hard to forget, not only have we witnessed a pandemic unfold in front of our eyes, but also social movements that arise in the middle of chaos. The Black Lives Matter movement is especially highlighted, as unfortunate events triggered the rage of the already exhausted black community, who got the support of recently “woke” non-black allies. Awareness is just the first step of the anti-racism journey. On today's episode, Kamala is joined by an inspiring leader, speaker and black woman, Jovian Zayne, to chat about the role of awareness around racism in the American society. Listen to the perspectives of these two women in this new episode, as they discuss what they are expecting from true allies to fight alongside the black community for the creation of a more just reality. Jump straight into: (0:46) - The perfect year for a pandemic and the sudden (yet awfully late) national realization of racial injustice - “White people finally looked up and realized all at once: Damn... This country is racist!” (10:32) - Awareness opens your eyes, now, open your mind to different narratives - “There is a persistent issue of police violence, specifically against communities of color and even more specifically against black people.” (22:03) - Accept uncomfortable truths to start important conversations - “There are ways to deepen your awareness that don't require fully unloading every question that you have about race on the next black person that you see.” (25:15) - How Black Lives Matter has empowered and raised the voices of an entire community - “The idea that it makes some people so incensed to hear those three words together is because it actually does call out all of American history.” (37:30) - The problem with forced diversity and black representation - “We need the conversation that happens after the change and the commitment that comes after it. That's a pretty important step in the process, but not the whole process.” (42:36 ) - Dealing with non-believers of a very evident problem - “It's such a beautiful time to try to be an anti-racist. Is popular, it is on trend, is accessible and available.” Resources https://www.jovianzayne.com/onpurpose-movement (OnPurpose Movement) https://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Antiracist-Ibram-Kendi/dp/0525509283/ref=sr_1_1?crid=353FK10AB52K1&dchild=1&keywords=how+to+be+an+antiracist&qid=1605746346&sprefix=how+to+be+an+%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-1 (How to Be an Antiracist) by Ibram Kendi https://www.instagram.com/sharethemicnow (Share the Mic Now) https://www.amazon.com/The-Power-of-Vulnerability-audiobook/dp/B00D1Z9RFU/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=bren%C3%A9+brown&qid=1605746534&sr=8-8 (The Power of Vulnerability )by Brené Brown https://brenebrown.com/podcast/brene-with-austin-channing-brown-on-im-still-here-black-dignity-in-a-world-made-for-whiteness/ (Brené with Austin Channing Brown on I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CClvjO7HzXY/ (Reese Whiterspoon's conversation with Austin Channing Brown) https://www.amazon.com/We-Will-Not-Cancel-Transformative-ebook/dp/B08GG8WD96/ref=sr_1_1?crid=R7G6ODH5031C&dchild=1&keywords=we+will+not+cancel+us&qid=1605747001&s=digital-text&sprefix=we+will+not+can%2Cdigital-text%2C202&sr=1-1 (We Will Not Cancel Us) by Adrienne Maree Brown Thanks for tuning in!

Welcome friends to "What do you know?" This podcast aims to help give busy youth workers and youth pastors some encouragement and help them remember why they got into youth ministry in the first place. We also want to help encourage people who feel a call to ministry. We want to help them start to pursue what that call looks like in their life in a practical way. We also want to encourage everyone in ministry to continue to ask the question "What Do You Know?" to others; that way, we as a community can continue to learn and grow together. This week we are joined by Olivia Michael, Pastor of Generational Ministries at Harrisonburg First Church of the Nazarene, in Harrisonburg, VA.

Today we have my friend Jonee Ripperger. She has quickly become a friend and ally in this work. She is a wife, artist, photographer, worship leader, animal lover, and a wonderful example of what it looks like to love your neighbor. Jonee and I have had the pleasure of doing some “Be The Bridge” work together, and it's been an honor to work with her and see her heart. Which is why I am beyond excited to have her on today! Enjoy as Jonee shares what she's learned through Be The Bridge, the impact its had on her life, and what she wants others to know. 1. The church must acknowledge that racism exists. 2. We must admit that we have been implicit. 3. We must Lament. 4. We must educate through multiple resources.  Spotlight I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown https://www.thedockbookshop.com/book/9781524760854 Be the Bridge: Pursuing God's Heart for Racial Reconciliation by Latasha Morrison https://www.thedockbookshop.com/book/9780525652885 Unlocking Us Podcast Hosted by Brené Brown https://brenebrown.com/unlockingus/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/whatisthechurchtodo/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/whatisthechurchtodo/support

Episode 21: MProper Mimi is joined by some awesome Millennials, a Gen Z and another Gen Xer to discuss I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown. Listen in as we talk about our different experiences in school, church and life when it comes to dealing with race...and how we are coping now. Over the weeks that our small multigenerational book club met together, I was surprised to learn from my daughter and cousin how their generations (who I thought did not see color) now perceive some of their childhood experiences. Even as we read through chapters about Austin's experiences, we touched a little upon race and reconciliation in the church, diversity in our public and private schools as well as how we manage to keep reading books with such heavy topics! Drop me a message or voice note after you listen to let me know if you can relate. Did you read the book also? What did you think? I would love to hear from you, Ciao! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mpropermimi/support

EPISODE 2! In this episode, we discuss race - specifically what it means to be a white person today. As a white woman in today's society, I hold immense privilege solely because of my race. This is my small attempt to use that privilege to be heard by other white people who may or may not be thinking about race critically on a day to day basis. We begin with another, more formal, introduction to the podcast and dive right in to the subject. White privilege, performative activism, and institutional racism are all terms that a white person should be familiar with. If you're not, join the discussion. If you are, listen anyway and maybe you'll expand your understanding or confirm your own definitions.

At Blackbar we believe that, despite our differences, there's a seat at the creative table for everyone regardless of denomination, socioeconomic background, political leaning, gender, or race. But, in seasons like this in which systemic racism is still so clearly ingrained in the society we live in, we can't possibly ignore the reality of prejudice or stay silent on the suffering. For our two part Racism & Redemption series, we wanted to promote voices other than our own. We've invited four guests, Spencer Jackson, Kashif Khan, Diamond Deyampert, and Reggie Hill to share a little bit about their own personal experiences with racial prejudice, their understandings of the value of diversity in the church, and how they're processing the tensions happening in the world around us following the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd.Episode Resources:1619 (Podcast)https://www.nytimes.com/column/1619-projectAccidental Courtesy: Daryl Davis, Race & America (Film)https://accidentalcourtesy.com/I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown (Book)http://austinchanning.com/the-bookCulture Making by Andy Crouch (Book)https://andy-crouch.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/blkbar)

She explores all of this in her forthcoming book I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness, which is out May 15. Pre-order it now. Seriously. It's vulnerable, truth-telling, beautiful writing, and coincidentally, one of the best books of the year. For real. You can find more from Austin at http://austinchanning.com/.
