Kaitlin McGaw and Tommy Shepherd of Alphabet Rockers share YOU ARE NOT ALONE, a story reminding us that when we step up to support one another, we can make a world where everyone knows they belong.   BOOK DESCRIPTION: You Are Not Alone by Alphabet Rockers; illustrated by Ashley Evans. Page Length: 56 pages Ages 4 to 8 It can be scary to feel like you're all on your own, especially in the face of prejudice and injustice. But always remember: you are not alone! With uplifting text and colorful art, You Are Not Alone shows readers that when we step up to support one another, we can make a world where everyone knows they belong. Featuring a heartfelt message and stunning illustrations, this special story makes for a read-aloud that parents, caregivers, and children will want to return to again and again. NOTABLE QUOTES: (8:48) “It's really our job as your adult friends, in a way, to make sure that other adults and kids know that your story matters and you're actually like, ‘We believe you'.”  (11:57)  “ When you sing you actually can let go of some stuff. You can just be really in your soul for a minute. And even if you're feeling the sad parts or the mad parts, it's still you. You're you.” (12:29)  “Sometimes you sing out and dance out and people don't make you feel good, but that's about them. It's not about you.” (12:36) “The biggest time that I feel like  I wish I was being heard was when I'm, unfortunately, talking about something some type of injustice or some type of way that isn't okay.” (21:47) “Point to your neighbor and tell 'em, “I got your back” on both sides. I got your back. You know you shine.”   ADDITIONAL LINKS: Alphabet Rockers Website - alphabetrockers.com Purchase the Book - You Are Not Alone TALK ABOUT THE EPISODE: What are ways that you help your friends and classmates feel included? What are ways that others have included you in activities or games? Who is an adult that you trust? What is it about this adult (the language they use with you, their behavior, their overall approachability) that makes them someone who you feel like you can turn to? What are some things that make you feel good? Do they include games? Activities? Doing something with others? Doing something by yourself? Make a list of five things that make you feel good, then share your list with someone who also listened to this podcast episode. How are your lists similar? How are they different? What might be an activity that you could do together that would make you both feel good? Who is someone you could reach out to today to say, “I got your back”? What does it mean to have someone's back? What does it look like? CREDITS: This podcast episode of The Children's Book Podcast was written, edited, and produced by Matthew Winner.

The band The Alphabet Rockers consists of lead members Kaitlin McGaw and Tommy Shepherd, and a multi-racial group of children who are also involved in writing and performing.  They write about their real lived experiences and their desire to live in a world where everyone belongs. Kaitlin and Tommy are actually fellows at the Othering and Belonging Institute, run by Dr. jon powell, whose work I really respect and whom we interviewed in the https://www.yourparentingmojo.com/othering (episode on othering). They also do work in schools - in an hour-long program they work with a class to compose a song, which gives children the experience not just of songwriting, but of truly being heard and having their ideas respected. Kaitlin and Tommy have now written a children's book called https://www.alphabetrockers.com/books (You Are Not Alone), which we discussed in the episode - along with a host of other juicy topics related to parenting...and racism...and White supremacy...

We're getting inspired by the two time Grammy nominated Alphabet Rockers founders, Kaitlyn McGaw and Tommy Shepherd. Plus we hear from the kids in the Extinction Diaries about how sharks are used in cosmetics and other products. This show has excellent music, and will inspire kids of all ages to become change makers. Alphabet Rockers make music that makes change. Known as the preeminent children's hip hop artists to focus on social change and racial justice, they are consciousness in motion. They spark an intergenerational conversation about the world through music and dance. Partnering with thought leaders on anti-bias and child development, they create empowered, engaging concerts and activities for young children, families, and educators. The Alphabet Rockers have developed an anti-racism mini-training for kids, families and teachers called We Got Work To Do.  Learn about bias, oppression, and where kids have power to stand up to hate, and make change.

In an emergency podcast session, HTTD's Rajan Nanavati is joined by good friends and longtime HTTD podcast contributors John and Neel to discuss the Washington Wizards acquiring Russell Westbrook from the Houston Rockets in exchange for John Wall. They discuss: their initial thoughts and reactions (1:26), the drivers for the Wizards trading Wall (7:43), the acquisition of Westbrook being in line with Tommy Shepherd's focus on "culture" (22:34), if the acquisition of Westbrook now makes the Wizards "his team" (31:36), where Washington now falls within the hierarchy of the Eastern Conference (40:18), and one interesting trade possibility available for Washington (52:26).

It’s been a while, but as we said in our last episode -- we’re still here. We miss you all. As parents and people in this world, we are thinking a lot about the Black Lives Matter movement and racial injustice. As makers of some of the sounds and ideas that go into your kids’ ears, we feel a special connection to your family and a responsibility to address this topic -- anti-racism --  thoughtfully with you and your children on Ear Snacks. Kaitlin McGaw and Tommy Shepherd of Alphabet Rockers generously offered to have a conversation with us about anti-racism, anti-racist parenting, making progressive media for kids and their ongoing Grammy-nominated musical work about identity, race, gender and so much more including their anti-racism course for families: We Got Work to Do. We hope this episode designed for parents (though not inappropriate for kids, we'll release a separate episode intended for young listeners) can help open or enhance conversations that you're having to further the dismantling of racism in our homes, our media, and our communities. There's lots of work to do, and it isn't easy -- but you are not alone. We plan to follow this conversation up with episodes design for children - and we would love your involvement! If you or your children participated in a Black Lives Matter protest, conversation about race, or other form of activism this summer, we would love to have you on the show.  Please let us know if your family would like to get involved with these kinds of episodes and we’ll reach out to you as soon as we can. Know someone doing work in this area who we should talk to? Please introduce us! We believe the most impactful way we (Andrew Barkan and Polly Hall, the humans) can affect change is to empower children to think deeply, in an age-appropriate way, about what is happening in society at this moment. We are thankful to connect with parents like you - parents who are raising thoughtful, open, and brave kids. We can be the change we want to see in this world.

Episode 69 In the spirit of #FlashbackFriday, we take it all the way back to March 1994* where we celebrate and pay tribute, to one of the more impactful movies in pop-black culture. Twenty five years ago, New Line Cinemas & director Jeff Pollack released Above The Rim, a movie about a New York City HS Basketball star and his relationship with two people: one is a drug dealer, and the other  one is a former basketball star fighting his own personal demons. Both of these men impact his life at a critical period in his life on his pursuit of playing NCAA basketball. So today on The Ave Podcast, I invite Dennis Barham (Actor) & 1st time guest Peter-John Kerr (Director/Producer; Founder of Swooplay) as we have a conversation 25 years later about Above The Rim. We discuss the influence this movie had on basketball players from our generation, Tupac's impact and his untapped potential as an actor, question the existence of Tommy Shepherd, review the legendary soundtrack, and much more. * Technically, this movie debuted on March 23, 1994. However, the decision was made to air this podcast a week later so that it didn't get lost during the 1st weekend of March Madness. You're welcome basketball fans.... ** WARNING: This podcast contains explicit language. **

Kaitlin McGaw and Tommy Shepherd of the Alphabet Rockers were my guests on The Uncle Devin Show on Radio One's WOL 1450 AM/95.9 FM in Washington, DC.  They spark an intergenerational conversation about the world through hip hop music and dance. Partnering with anti-bias thought leaders and expert artists, this GRAMMY-nominated music group is the soundtrack for social justice. They discuss how they produce concerts, music and media to engage young changemakers and their adult allies. As they say, "It’s time to be WOKE!"  http://alphabetrockers.com/

In our last episode of the 2016-2017 season, Micah and Chuy recap the last residency of the season. And Micah sits down with /peh-LO-tah/ cast members Marc Bamuthi Joseph, Tommy Shepherd, Delina Patrice Brooks, Traci Tolmaire, and Yaw Agyeman to talk about the inspiration behind the show they call a "futbol framed freedom suite", their collaborative process, and whether it’s challenging or liberating to combine sports and the arts. We'll be back next season with more Hancher talk!
