Navigating Complexities in Liberatory work with Terry Berman 1:00:25

cách đây 19 weeks trước1:00:25

1:00:25

Today I’m excited to introduce you to Terry Berman, a senior VISIONS consultant, elder, and mentor to many of newer VISIONS consultants as they have come into this work. Terry grew up in a politically active Jewish family in South Africa, witnessing firsthand the courageous activism of her parents, whose anti-apartheid work forced the family into exile. Terry shares her story, reflecting on the complexities around her white identity and how her early experiences informed a lifetime dedicated to social justice and activism. In this conversation, we talk about Terry's movement from apartheid-era South Africa to the challenges of navigating life in the UK, where she faced deep antisemitism and sexism, to the San Francisco Bay Area where she became deeply involved in women's rights and the LGBTQ community, organizing against police violence and doing solidarity work in Central America before connecting with VISIONS.

Louise’s longtime connection and passionate support of VISIONS, and so many other organizations working for justice, is a testament to this. We start by talking about what it was like to grow up in eastern NC in the 1960s, and the process of integrating the schools. I want to offer a content note for mentions of threats of a couple of different forms violence a few minutes in. We then talk about her work with VISIONS, her career as a therapist, what she feels has and hasn’t changed in the last 50 years and what message she has for people who are working toward an equitable and just world now. 2024 is VISIONS 40th anniversary and we’re having a big celebration at the State Room in Boston on September 27th!

Join us as we sit down with VISIONS co-founder, longtime consultant, and retired professor public health Dr. John Capitman! Dr. Capitman talks about how he specialized in eldercare and developed community interventions in public health, as well as how his background and the life experiences informed his commitment and his approach, including how a severe car accident and other trials deepened his empathy and understanding of systemic inequalities and the necessity of acknowledging multiple dimensions of oppression. We also explore the formation of VISIONS and its mission to combat oppression, including memorable moments of creating VISIONS with his partner Dr. Valerie Batts. Dr. Capitman's story offers insight into the what is needed to continue this vital work in difficult times. 2024 is VISIONS 40th anniversary and we’re having a big celebration at the State Room in Boston on September 27th!

Transformational Leadership with Dr. Julian Sonn (Part II) 50:34

50:34

What does it mean to embrace a multicultural, democratic society in a nation scarred by Apartheid? Join us for the second part of our interview with Dr. Julian Sonn, who has spent the last thirty years working towards transformational change in South Africa. From the exuberance of the first democratic elections in 1994 to the ongoing quest for inclusivity, Dr. Sonn offers an in-depth look at the power and potential for leadership in bringing about transformation for South Africans. We recorded this just after a historic election took place here that offers powerful potential for change– if people can learn to work together. Dr. Sonn talks about the legacies of colonialism, fascism, and systemic oppression that has left an indelible mark on the country. As he reflects on both the progress and setbacks over the last three decades, he underscores the potential of the VISIONS model to overcome barriers and move toward multicultural democracy, which has deep implications for understanding both the stakes and the possibilities of the present moment in South Africa and beyond. Will we see you in Boston in September 2024 for VISIONS 40th Anniversary Celebration? Learn more here! Interested in learning more about our approach and model? VISIONS offers a pay-what-you-can (free if you want!) introduction to our Guidelines for Effective Cross Cultural Dialogue on the last Wednesday of every month. All are welcome.

Join us for another VISIONS elder story as we sit down with Dr. Julian Sonn, who has been with VISIONS, quite literally, since its inception. This is another in our series of elder story podcasts that we’re doing in honor of our 40th anniversary, which we'll be celebrating in Boston on September 27, 2024. Dr. Sonn is a psychologist and academic, and also worked extensively the VISIONS model while in exile in the US before returning to South Africa in the 1990s as Apartheid was ending. He talks about his early life and the experiences that shaped his outlook, and his trajectory from living in a pretty mixed town pre-Apartheid to experiencing displacement and the impacts of segregation, and how he ended up in the United States as a political exile, which is when he met VISIONS founders Valerie Batts and John Capitman. Dr. Sonn has spent the last 30 years in South Africa, consulting and in university positions working on transformative leadership, which we talk about that more in the next episode.

This episode of Into Liberation features the extraordinary Dr. Cassandra Joubert, who starts by sharing her story of growing up in racially segregated Houston and becoming a passionate advocate for maternal and child health. Dr. Joubert talks about how her early life experiences and her time at Howard University in the early 1970s (amid the vibrant activism and Pan-Africanist movement) shaped her understanding of complex social issues, her work in her field, and her consulting with VISIONS. Dr. Joubert also talks about how her mother’s advice on financial independence led her to a career in policy advocacy and early childhood development. From research in neonatal intensive care units to leading philanthropic initiatives to ensuring hundreds of people working in early childhood development received VISIONS training, her work has consistently focused on improving the lives of mothers and children.

Join us as we sit down with Vincent Johnson, as he recounts his trajectory from being a 'third culture kid' to becoming the Director of Equity and Inclusive Excellence at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. Growing up as the child of a serviceman who was stationed in Okinawa and Taiwan, as well as Washington, DC, Vincent's immersion in different cultures before attending Harvard University shaped his outlook and his approach to his work as a consultant and board member with VISIONS. Vincent recounts the major milestones in his life, including how an afro sparked a memorable Harvard application essay and the ways in which his varied experiences shaped his commitment to creating inclusive spaces at the law school. His story is not just one of personal success; it's a model for how learning to embrace our differences can lead to a more empathetic and just society.

Felipe Garcia & The Role of Feelings in Anti-Oppression Work 56:00

cách đây 1 year trước56:00

What do feelings and emotions have to do with anti-oppression work? Join me as I welcome longtime VISIONS consultant and counselor Felipe Garcia, who specializes in Transactional Analysis, the liberatory psychology framework at the core of our model. Felipe is the author of several articles, including one you may have read if you’ve been part of a longer VISIONS training called "The Role of Feelings in the Workplace." This year, 2024, is the 40th year of VISIONS existence, and this is another in our ongoing series of stories from elders in our community. VISION was founded in 1984 by a group of psychologists and others who brought their clinical skills to bear on the problem of racism and other forms of oppression, including the role that emotion and feeling plays in anti-oppression work. Not only has Felipe has not only done extensive work in this area–he still actively teaches what he calls The Responsive Process. In addition to Felipe sharing about his background and journey, we talk about what transactional analysis is and why it is so useful in anti-oppression work, and, of course, what the role of feelings in the workplace is!

You've probably heard about the importance of mental health, but have you ever considered how it intersects with issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion? Join us for a conversation with Dr. Haley Sparks, the Director of VISIONS' Mental Health Program, as we explore the terrain of DEI work and mental health. Dr. Sparks, a personality psychologist by training, shares about her journey and offers a preview of her upcoming workshop on rest and sustainability at VISIONS' 2024 Spring Summit. The revamped mental health program at VISIONS centers around a coaching model, and is designed to help clients engage in exploration of their identities through an anti-oppression lens. If you've ever found DEI work challenging, you'll understand the importance of unpacking personal biases and negative experiences in a supportive environment, including the value of affinity work and the advantages of working with clinicians who share similar identities and experiences. Stay tuned for exciting updates on the Mental Health Program, VISIONS 2024 Spring Summit, and our 40th anniversary event, which will take place on September 27, 2024 in Boston, Massachusetts!

Social Justice and Land Sovereignty: PACE Connect @ Foxfire Ranch 48:01

What if you could immerse yourself in a captivating blend of personal stories, history, and introspective exploration, all while gaining powerful insights into racial equity, social justice, and their intricate relationship with land? That's exactly what we're offering in today's episode as we talk about PACE Connect @ Foxfire Ranch, taking place from March 15-19, 2024 in Mississippi's Hill Country. Foxfire Ranch is black sovereignty and community gathering space in Waterford, Mississippi. PACE Connect will be led by our colleagues and friends, Dr. Jeanne Firth and Jabari Carmichael , who talk us through intersections of racial equity, social justice, and land justice . We further explore the importance of understanding our relationship with land and the histories intertwined with it in the context of outdoor education and leadership development. Mississippi native Jabari illuminates the significance of hosting this workshop in his home state, delving into themes of community, relationships, and land sovereignty, work that he has done for nearly 13 years with Jeanne, who comes to the questions from a very different intersection of identities and family history. Anette Hollowell, whose family has owned Foxfire Ranch for over 100 years, speaks at the end about the history of the space and how it transformed into what it is today: a place for gathering, connection, and celebrating the tradition of hill country blues music. The music you'll hear in this episode is a hill country blues track called "Foxfire," composed for the venue by musician Lightnin Malcolm (gratefully included with permission from the artist). Curious to know more? Attend the PACE Connect @ Foxfire Ranch Info Session on December 13, 2023 (and register to receive a recording if you cannot make it!).

Dr. Deborah J. Walker & the Alabama Civil Rights Movement 55:27

cách đây 1 year trước55:27

55:27

Note: This episode was recorded before the events of October 2023. In this episode I speak to longtime VISIONS consultant Dr. Deborah J. Walker, who has spent her life doing anti-oppression work-- a commitment rooted in her experiences growing up in Birmingham, Alabama in the 1960s. When she was 12, Dr. Walker was a block away from the 16th Street Baptist Church on September 15, 1963, when it was bombed-- an inflection moment in the history of civil rights in the US. Dr. Walker takes us back to her childhood in Birmingham, Alabama, painting a vivid picture of the Civil Rights movement and the striking events that occurred in 1960s, from the Children's March, the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church, and the 1963 March on Washington to the assassinations of President Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These experiences not only impacted her life, but also set her on the path towards working for social justice, change, and equity. Dr. Walker recounts her professional journey, where she learned to channel her clinical skills to support historically excluded communities — work that eventually led her to VISIONS. From understanding the importance of self-care to building alliances, Dr. Walker takes us through the learnings that not only helped her grow, but also nurtured her resolve to continue speaking truth to power. In the final part of our journey, we talk about the tour that Dr. Walker is leading along the Alabama Civil Rights Trail in May 2024. The trip includes visits to sites like the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, Kelly Ingram Park, and the 16th Street Baptist Church. We discuss the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) and its striking exhibits on the histories and legacies of enslavement, incarceration, and lynching in United States. Dr. Walker emphasizes how vital it is to understand history as we learn to work together for a more just and equitable future. See what's coming up at VISIONS!
