This Week: This one didn't get much attention in the national headlines, but it should have. Jeronimo Yanez, the racist, murdering, hateful cop who murdered Philando Castile in cold blood, for no reason, in front of his partner and young chid, is trying to become a teacher. W T F. That's right, the guy who couldn't help but murder St. Paul (MN) Public Schools' beloved food service employee is now trying to get credentialed to be a substitute teacher, after having taught Spanish at a local parochial school. As it turns out, Yanez's application was initially denied because, well, we don't want racist murderers to teach. But, administrative law judge Susan Segal is requiring the state board which oversees credentialing to reconsider his application with a more narrow interpretation of its criteria for “immoral character and conduct.” Yep, this is America.

A husband and wife team, Doug and Susan Segal, with a tremendous story. Doug recently published his memoir, Struck, about the extraordinary story of Susan’s head on crash with a bus and living to tell about it. Here’s more on the book One of life’s biggest clichés becomes a horrific reality when Douglas Segal’s wife and daughter are hit head-on by a Los Angeles city bus. Following the accident, Segal began sending regular email updates to their circle of friends and family, a list that continued to grow as others heard of the event and were moved by the many emotional and spiritual issues it raised.
Author Douglas Segal of the recently published book “Struck: A Husband's Memoir of Trauma and Triumph” and his wife Susan Segal, share their terrifying story of Susan and their daughter's tragic near fatal head on collision with a bus and Susan's journey of recovery. After breaking nearly every bone in her body, including her pelvis and neck, and surviving a massive brain bleed and intense delusions and hallucinations, Susan's story comes alive through her husband's detailed documentation of the experience. In this fascinating conversation, Susan is also able to tell her part in this miraculous story. What's remarkable and inspiring is the way the couple took this tragedy and found ways to appreciate life, community, connection and a deeper love between them. Pick up Struck at this link or at your local bookstore.
Susan Segal was driving her daughter to school one day when a city bus had to swerve into her BMW in order to miss a runaway truck. Her daughter, Alyce, stepped out of the impossible wreckage and was miraculously unscathed. Susan required a laborious extrication from the vehicle and barely survived, having broken nearly every bone in her body, including her neck. Today, she is the picture of health and her husband Doug Segal tells the story of how and why she is today a walking miracle in his book Struck: A Husband's Memoir of Trauma and Triumph (Prospect Park Books, September 2018) You can guess it: they are Superheroes of Love. The Segal family believes in the power of love, the unique love of friends, family and complete strangers in a time of crisis, and its ability to bring Susan through this healing saga that could have, at hundreds of points in time, taken a sharp turn toward a far darker end of this story. You will hear from Doug, Susan and their son Michael, whose life was, of course, also struck by this tragedy-turned-miracle story of love. Find the book wherever you buy your books and find Doug at douglassegal.com.
n 2012, Little Known Facts host Ilana Levine got a call that her dear friend Susan was in a horrible car accident. Her car had literally been crushed by a Los Angeles city bus that had driven head on into Susan's car. Her 12 year old daughter who had been in the passenger seat walked out of the car unharmed but Susan was trapped inside. Almost every bone in her body was broken including her neck, she had bleeding on her brain and her lungs had collapsed. One of life's biggest clichés became a horrific reality when Douglas Segal, Susan's husband, showed up at the scene. Following the accident, Doug began sending regular email updates to their circle of friends and family—a list that continued to grow as others heard of the event and were moved by the many emotional and spiritual issues it raised. Those emails became the centerpiece of his memoir "Struck" an intimate and honest chronicle built around these email updates, and is a profound example of how people show up for one another in times of crisis and is an uplifting tribute to love, determination, and how the compassion of community holds the power to heal, serving as an inspiring testament to the resilience of the human spirit when faced with pain and adversity. Doug and Susan share the harrowing story of what it took to recover from a near death accident not just physically but emotionally and spiritually and share many of the life lessons learned along the way.
How has the #MeToo movement made 2018 the year of the woman and what does it mean in a Latin American context? We speak with Dr. Felicia Knaul, director of the University of Miami's Institute for Advanced Studies of the Americas, and Susan Segal, president and CEO of Americas Society/Council of the Americas, about how #MeToo has created a space for dialogue about women in the workforce, from being what Knaul calls "passionate professionals" to giving women, particularly in Latin America, "the right space to thrive," says Segal. Both women share insights from their careers in the spheres of public health and banking. Both women will speak at AS/COA's Women's Hemispheric Network forum in Miami on February 22.
