Once a year, I get to interview someone who is under the age of 50 to highlight their body of work, especially when they have been intentional about involving older Black women.     Tameka Lawson is a force, and her organization Restored Hope empowers Black women and girls to move beyond the everyday cycles of violence and trauma while working toward discovering inner peace and resiliency within themselves, their families and their communities. Restored Hope offers after school and in school programs that empower young women through trauma informed yoga, various social service resources, and workshops for women. Tameka Lawson is an Advocate for Social Change and is the Founder of the Selah Center for Healing.     Tameka Lawson has been a revered community activist for years, advocating for social change through her work in mindfulness programs in Chicago's Englewood community. Through her efforts, she provided organizations with the tools of mindfulness and yoga to combat the violence that community members often faced. Tameka and Restored Hope received accolades from former First Lady Michelle Obama for the phenomenally impactful work that she is doing.    During a public health brigade in 2019, Tameka recognized that Black diasporans returning to the continent often lacked a proper space to process their experiences fully. This realization led to the creation of the Selah Center for Healing. The center, located in Elmina, Ghana, will offer workshops, yoga, reiki and other forms of healing to help individuals process the information that their bodies receive after visiting the slave grounds. It is expected to open in the spring of 2024.  Tameka is also escorting five African American girls (ages 15-18) to Elmina/Cape Coast, Ghana. There she will connect them to the Ghanaian girls who she works with around the body-mind connection, meditation and leadership development. They will the tour slave dungeons and more importantly process jointly what this experience means for the girls from both sides of the Atlantic. If you would like to assist Tameka by sponsoring a girl, making a financial contribution or helping to provide feminine products, you can connect with Tameka through Restored Hopes's social media pages, the website or by going directly to Amazon (see link below) to view the organization's wish list.     Check out my list on Amazon amazon.com   Tameka is a certified trauma-informed yoga teacher, having trained under renowned teachers like Seane Corn and Catherine Ashton. Her vinyasa flow yoga classes challenge students to express their intentions as they work toward inner healing and empowerment. Her work has been featured in over 20 media publications, including People Magazine and The Doctors TV show. She is also a United Nations Delegate to the Commission of the Status of Women conference. But above all, Tameka is proud to be a mother of her four amazuping children Christopher Jr., Joshua, Ziya-Angeline and Elijah-Michael.

To mark our 100th episode, I'm joined by Justin, Alex, and Tameka to look back on our golf journeys over the past year and share the goals we aim to achieve in the next twelve months. After updating each other on our golf game, Alex discusses the current legal challenges that women's golf groups and events are facing in California, including her own Babes Golf. She talks about how she's continuing to push for inclusive spaces for women in the sport, and how the golf community at large is rallying together to support those affected by this issue. We then get into today's topic: golf beliefs we intend to drop, and the beliefs and goals we've set for ourselves going into 2024. From conquering the fear of approaching that first tee to navigating self-doubt around short putts, our guests illustrate through their personal experiences how mastering mindset is as significant, if not more so, as perfecting your technique.   Support Babes Golf- GoFundMe   Justin Klemballa: Instagram YouTube Alex Andersen: Instagram Babes Golf Tameka Hartman: Instagram   For more information about all our women's golf events, including the Desert Classic, please visit: CompeteConfidenceGolf.com Subscribe to our FREE Female Golfer Facebook Group: First T Crew [Behind the Scenes of Women's Golf]   Get in touch!

Continuing our discussion on using books to write about the things that matter and advocate for knowledge, understanding, and change, this episode is an interview with Dr. Tameka Ellington and her decision to write the book: "Black Hair in a White World"

In episode 311, Kestrel welcomes Julius Tillery, founder of BlackCotton, to the show.  A 5th-generation cotton farmer from North Carolina, Julius founded BlackCotton to help center and uplift the Black community closest to the cotton fields in Northampton County, North Carolina. “There's so many demons and like bad spirits and bad tropes around cotton and the industry in general, and you know, just coming from the South, and people having these perspectives of cotton production relating to slavery — I felt like people was making these notions about cotton and not really knowing anything about cotton. And I wanted to start educating people about the cotton business, and even myself and how people like myself — how we end up in cotton. Families that work in cotton like, what was their value-in working in this type of production? And I wanted to change that outlook to make it look more stronger and prestigious than what was assumed.” -Julius About 6 episodes back, we had a chat with the brilliant leader and self-proclaimed solutionist Tameka Peoples of Seed2Shirt. This episode was deeply focused on the work Tameka is doing to rebuild equitable and just cotton systems & foster the reclamation of cotton acreage for Black farmers. It's a really important show that helps provide some of the historical context around cotton in the United States, as well as ways that Tameka and her team are working to reimagine new systems for cotton. When guests lead to new guests, I like to acknowledge that because it's a beautiful thing. So, thanks to Tameka and our interactions, I was led to this week's guest – Julius Tillery. This week's guest was raised amongst cotton fields – growing the fiber is something that runs deep throughout his ancestry. As a 5th generation cotton farmer, he has followed in the footsteps of generations before, but – with a twist.   Known to many as the Puff Daddy of Cotton, he has approached the cotton industry with a focus on remixing what the business looks like today. As a young person, he saw the imminent need to rebrand cotton, and to help expand the narrative around the fiber away from the harmful alignment it often has with simply being a poor man's crop.   Julius shares more about how he's reimagining what a cotton farmer's business model can look like today, how he's creating alternative revenue streams, he reveals some of the financial challenges farmers face, and tells us how he was able to actually turn fiber from his family's plants into fashion. Quotes & links from the conversation: “And I think that's what really makes us to the sustainability component of clothing and sustainable world in general — is this is actually real stuff that comes off a real farm — and I make it culturally and I make it about environmental where it's coming from a Black community from Black people that's growing cotton in an area, in a time period that we used to be oppressed by this crop, but actually now we're trying to control it and make it something that we can be proud of and uplifting our community. I hope that in my community I stand as a symbol of pride and of strength, being a farmer, instead of somebody who was oppressed.” -Julius (10:22) “What I'm doing with my farm is trying to show pride in being a farmer, and that's moreso than just culturally — that's just all of the industry and environmentalism. Like, we have to have more respect for the resources that we create with our planet, so that we don't waste them, so that we don't have to have bad resources come back to us. I'm really into like — why are we importing so many products when people need jobs here in America, people need jobs here in the Western Hemisphere — how can we connect dots so we don't have to ship stuff all across the world?” -Julius (15:22) “Cultivating distress: cotton, caste and farmer suicides in India”, research article that highlights the distressing statistics around cotton farmers and suicide (something that Kestrel brings up on the show) — “Nearly 4,00,000 farmers committed suicide in India between 1995 and 2018. This translates into approximately 48 suicides every day.” “I feel like it's important that as much as possible, we find ways to support sustainable so there's a reason for it to be in the marketplace.” -Julius (19:27) “And that's the only way we gonna be sustainable is these big companies see purpose in dealing with such small companies like myself. I hope that things can change but you know, I'm really being real about who we are in regards to what's the culture of the industry we in. Cause I'm so much smaller than the cotton farmers I'm around but that allows me to make decisions and be someone who can think more efficiently and more lean.” -Julius (20:05) “With urban agriculture and the growth of farmer's markets all across the country, I believe there's people seeing the value and worth of growing their own foods and products. So there's so many people that want to learn to grow their own food and products. So many people want to learn about the business of foods and products. I believe there's new energy around agriculture and it's a constantly growing industry right now. And I think that the way our education system has been set up for many years, and even right now — it's set up to disadvantage agriculture, like it's telling you not to go into it. Like our college prepatories teaching you to be a doctor, a lawyer, some type of high white-collar job / professional, but I think there's a lot of things in pop culture, I believe there's a lot of living arrangements right now that's bringing new energy to people that grow outdoors. The new look of a farmer is a lot more updated than 30, 40 years ago. You know, farmers are aging, but then there's young farmers coming in that's using the internet and really out here networking and connecting, and so there's a tide turning.” -Julius (30:15) “I like to compare myself as an ant to the whole cotton industry, the cotton jungle. Ants make mounds, and before long, there's more mounds than you can count.” -Julius (32:16) “Rewriting The Story Of Cotton” in Our State  “Meet The Puff Daddy Of Cotton”, Human Footprint episode on PBS that features Julius BlackCotton Website Follow BlackCotton on Facebook > Follow BlackCotton on Instagram >

In episode 306, Kestrel welcomes Tameka Peoples, the founder and CEO of Seed2Shirt, to the show. A Black-woman-owned vertically integrated ethical apparel production & boutique cotton merchant firm, Seed2Shirt is focused on rebuilding equitable systems and institutions. “You're seeing laws put into place like the 1862 Homestead Act where there were millions of acres of land just given to white families. And Black people were at the same time, being burned out of their communities. What I mean by that is — there's elements to this thing that we call fashion — that's connected to raw commodity that's connected to land that is a part of the blood, sweat and tears that Black people have put and poured into this economy and poured into this country.” -Tameka When we look back at agriculture in the United States, a lot of the origins of farming in this country were built on an extractive, harmful, and extremely damaging history. So much was stolen and stripped – from lives to land to livelihoods.  We don't talk enough in the fashion industry about its true origins – about who helped build the cotton industry – a textile that has been deemed and marketed as: *the fabric of our lives*.  From 1765 to 1861, during the years of Chattel Slavery, $528 billion dollars worth of cotton were farmed – mind you, this happened with the use of enslaved labor. Fast forward through layers and layers of other significant historical moments to where we are today. While the cotton industry in the United States was literally grown by Black folks, today – the numbers say there are less than 1% Black Cotton Farmers. This week's guest understands so much depth of this history – and when she discovered she couldn't buy a t-shirt made by Black folks using cotton farmed by Black folks, she decided she had to make one.  This was the seed that has continued to grow and flourish into what she is doing today – while many may call it conscious fashion, for her – it's so much more than that. As a self-proclaimed solutionist, she's rebuilding equitable systems and institutions, with intention and care, while supporting Black farmers along the way. Quotes & links from the conversation: “Yes, they love Black images and Black body and Black fashion and they use us to sell to people for industry. But what part of that industry do we own and control?” -Tameka (9:45) “You're seeing laws put into place like the 1862 Homestead Act where there were millions of acres of land just given to white families. And Black people were at the same time, being burned out of their communities. What I mean by that is — there's elements to this thing that we call fashion — that's connected to raw commodity that's connected to land that is a part of the blood, sweat and tears that Black people have put and poured into this economy and poured into this country. So, we are building back land elements, we're building back equity for Black cotton farmers, we're building an institution that portions of it we control that they can plug into, and then, we're part of larger institutions that allow farmers that are in this space allow their cotton to move through.” (14:29) -Tameka “Everyone has a responsibility to figure out what their role is in doing their part. You walk around anywhere and there's a recycling bin and they're encouraging — hey, if that's a plastic bottle, or if that's paper or cardboard, put it here. So, everyone plays a role — we believe our programs really can change the world for the better.” (21:18) -Tameka “This is about bringing back livelihood, honor and justice into Black farming, Black cotton farming, Black production, and we can't wait for anyone else to do it for us.” (38:04) -Tameka Bridgeforth Family Farms, Black owned & operated farm since 1877 (Seed2Shirt partner) Donate to Seed2Shirt's Farmer Enrichment Program > Seed2Shirt Events Upcoming Farm Tours Seed2Shirt Website Follow Seed2Shirt on Instagram >

Tameka Fryer Brown shares That Flag, an affecting picture book that challenges the meaning behind the still-waving Confederate flag through the friendship of two young girls who live across the street from each other. BOOK DESCRIPTION: That Flag by Tameka Fryer Brown; illustrated by Nikkolas Smith   An affecting picture book from Tameka Fryer Brown and #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Nikkolas Smith (The 1619 Project: Born on the Water) that challenges the meaning behind the still-waving Confederate flag through the friendship of two young girls who live across the street from each other.   Bianca is Keira's best friend. At school, they are inseparable. But Keira questions their friendship when she learns more about the meaning of the Confederate flag hanging from Bianca's front porch. Will the two friends be able to overlook their distinct understandings of the flag? Or will they reckon with the flag's effect on yesterday and today?   In That Flag, Tameka Fryer Brown and Nikkolas Smith graciously tackle the issues of racism, the value of friendship, and the importance of understanding history so that we move forward together in a thought-provoking, stirring, yet ultimately tender tale. A perfect conversation starter for the older and younger generations alike, this book includes back matter on the history of the Confederate flag and notes from the creators. NOTABLE QUOTES:   (5:51) “They started a civil war to protect their ability to own Black people. And throughout the course of the war, they adopted a particular battle flag. And that's the version that most of us know as the Confederate flag today.”    (7:28) “All of that is a part of a system called white supremacy. And the Confederate flag, unfortunately, is still the go-to flag for white supremacists today. You know, they use it whenever they want to intimidate people of color, especially Black people.”   (8:24) “I think that a lot of times people either don't understand that impact that a thing has on someone else, or sometimes, unfortunately, they don't care, or sometimes they don't care to learn and understand. And I think the center of it all is selfishness or self concern or self-centeredness.”   (10:11) “The Confederate flag is a symbol best saved for museums and history books and not public celebration.”   (12:12) “When you disagree with someone you love and care about, about something that really matters to you, it's going to hurt.”   (12:41) “We all have been guilty of hurting other people as much as we've been hurt.”   (14:32) “It takes a willingness to admit that what you may have done that impacted the other person was indeed harmful. And a heart to apologize sincerely. And then a willingness again to do the hard work, you know, for however long it might take, in an effort to build up that trust and hopefully that closeness again, or at least some level of closeness.” (17:59) “I have the hope that with understanding and with knowledge and with the sharing of truth and holistic history, that change within people is possible.” (19:34) “Never be afraid of the truth, knowing it, understanding it, embracing it, all of it. That's what makes us better people.”    ADDITIONAL LINKS: Tameka Fryer Brown website - TamekaFryerBrown.com Purchase the Book - That Flag Educator Guide for That Flag - download file TALK ABOUT THE EPISODE: What are some of the flags you have noticed in your community? What meaning does each flag hold or represent? Is this a flag that you've seen in lots of places? Or maybe at just this one place? What might this flag tell us about the person displaying it? Or what do you think the person displaying it is trying to say? Have you ever been in a disagreement with a classmate, friend, or family member? Was the harm repaired in any way after the disagreement? If so, how did you both repair harm so that you could move forward together? What did that look and feel like? Is it ever okay to display a symbol or slogan that offends or upsets someone else? When might it be okay to use such a symbol or slogan to communicate your beliefs? When might displaying that symbol or slogan be harmful to others? CREDITS:   This podcast episode of The Children's Book Podcast was written, edited, and produced by Matthew Winner.
