It’s a Hard Knock Life featuring Basiliso Moreno, LMSW
Tuesday Oct 25, 2022
Tuesday Oct 25, 2022
Mentally healthy children have a positive quality of life and can function well at home, in school, and in their communities. Factoring in risk for parental detainment or deportation, children are more likely to report depressive symptoms, negative mood, physical symptoms and negative self-esteem. Today we join Basiliso Moreno, former school social worker, to discuss some of the challenges children experience when family members are deported, effects on their health and wellbeing, and managing extreme stress and anxiety.

Business as Usual featuring Herman Pryor Ed.D
Tuesday Oct 11, 2022
Tuesday Oct 11, 2022
The positive connections between diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace and business results have been documented for years. But examining the business benefits of diverse representation without considering equity and inclusion provides a limited picture of DEI’s true potential. Creating a fair and inclusive work environment where workers of all backgrounds can contribute and succeed is vital—even more so now that diversity is the reality of many workplaces. Today we join Dr. Herman Pryor, Self-Equity Coach at HIP Enterprise to discuss characteristics of effective DEI leadership, creating metrics for success and articulating the ROI of DEI.

The Secret Epidemic featuring Darnell Motley, PhD
Tuesday Sep 27, 2022
Tuesday Sep 27, 2022
Black Americans have been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS since the epidemic’s beginning, and that disparity has deepened over time. Racism, discrimination, HIV stigma, and homophobia affect the overall health and well-being of African American gay and bisexual men. Today we join Dr. Darnell Motley, Sexual Health Researcher at the University of Chicago to discuss the history of HIV/AIDS and how it shows up in Black communities, the obstacles to accessing quality care, and some of the overlap between COVID–19 and HIV as it relates to response and inequity.

Who You Wit? featuring Déjà D. Rollins
Tuesday Sep 13, 2022
Tuesday Sep 13, 2022
Have you noticed performative allyship? Where someone makes a bare minimum display of their support for marginalized communities in an effort to show they are on their side? And once a tweet or two has been shared, it’s back to business as usual. This form of empty advocacy is unproductive and disregards the need for sacrifice and work by privileged individuals. Today we join Déjà D. Rollins as she describes how performative allyship stifles progress and attempts to create real change.

What Happened to You featuring Dr. Fanike Kiara Young
Tuesday Aug 23, 2022
Tuesday Aug 23, 2022
Exposure to abuse, neglect, discrimination, violence, and other adverse experiences increases a person’s lifelong potential for serious health problems and engaging in high risk behaviors. As providers grow more aware of trauma’s impact, they are realizing the value of trauma-informed approaches to care. Today we join Dr. Fanike Kiara Young to discuss the key ingredients necessary for establishing a trauma-informed culture, the impacts of trauma on maternal health inequities, and coping with trauma triggers.
