Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

One of the 4 Practices of Belonging is Advocacy. In the latest edition of the We Belong Here podcast, we are gracious to explore this topic in detail In 2017, Richard Rothstein published The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America. It clearly spelled out the non-accidental history of racial segregation in the United States. Upon finishing the book, Richard's daughter Leah Rothstein wondered what to do with this information. The answer? A new book published this past June called Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law. Listen to their origin stories, discussions about how change can happen more at the local level than the federal, the importance of Belonging in starting this advocacy work, and clear examples of communities who have already started to advocate for the removal and change of segregation-building laws and policies through relationships. Both authors confessed that they felt more hopeful about collective change upon finishing the research for this book. That should give us all hope that WE can create impactful changes to create the equitable and just world we want for all. To follow this issue more closely, please subscribe to the Just Action substack!

S4 EP4: Arts & Culture & Belonging 57:28

"Center community. And center the synthesizing of multiple viewpoints to create a better outcome. It's all sort of an act of civic and cultural deejaying. Like you're trying to take two sources and bring them together to create a better outcome." - Randy Engstrom This episode explores the intersection of Arts & Culture & Belonging. The US Surgeon General has deemed social isolation and loneliness as a public health epidemic that impacts all of us. He provides 6 pillars to combat this (link here) and the sixth one is Cultivating a Culture of Connection. So how can Arts & Culture provide an antidote to the loss of Belonging and the growing epidemic of isolation? To discuss this topic, we've brought together an amazing trio of guests: Joël Barraquiel Tan, Executive Director of Wing Luke Museum. Leilani Lewis, Associate Director for Diversity Communications & Outreach at the University of Washington Randy Engstrom, Co-Founder & Principal, Third Way Creative They share their origin stories which span across Manila, Hawaii, Detroit, and Chicago. They discussed their previous roles at places like Northwest African-American Museum, Youngstown Cultural Arts Center, and Asian Pacific AIDS Intervention Team Health Centers. They range on topics from anti-fragility, community, and reimaging a new city for all of us.

S4 EP2: The Future of Downtown Seattle 1:09:03

cách đây 2 years trước1:09:03

1:09:03

A topic that has dominated the news cycle in the COVID-19 aftermath is the future of downtowns. A simple google search on this topic will unleash a barrage of news articles about cities big and small across the country. Seattle is no exception. Many of the folks who worked downtown have yet to return to their offices. Many commercial spaces are vacant and retail has been hit hard due to the decrease in foot traffic. So how do we revitalize our downtown corridor? How do we make sure it's a space that welcomes and benefits everyone? To discuss this topic, we've brought together an amazing trio of guests: Yoon Kang O'Higgins, Director of Public Programs at Friends of the Waterfront Seattle Rico Quirindongo, Acting Director of the Office of Planning and Community Development at the City of Seattle Jon Scholes, President & CEO of the Downtown Seattle Association They share their origin stories which span across the Central District, University Place, the Guggenheim Museum, Pike Place Market, St. Louis, New York City, and Oakland. They discussed their favorite aspects of Seattle's downtown (can you guess what they picked?) and then really dug into the future of Downtown Seattle. This discussion ranged from the future impact of the Waterfront, transforming commercial space into residential space, attracting visitors through arts & cultural attractions, and reimaging street-level retail. And throughout the conversation, they held to the ideal of creating a space of Belonging and equity. Join our discussion on the future of downtown Seattle with some of the folks who are most poised to impact it.

S3 EP2: What Does ‘Home’ Mean? 1:04:23

1:04:23

As Civic Commons prepares to launch a major initiative related to Black homeownership, We Belong Here host Frank Nam sat down with three individuals who are already working toward racial and economic equity here in Seattle. The topic: What does home mean to you? And why is homeownership such an important part of financial stability and intergenerational well-being? Our guests this episode: - Andrea Caupain-Sanderson, CEO of Byrd Barr Place - Michelle Merriweather, president and CEO of the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle - Darryl Smith, executive director of HomeSight Along with discussing their work, Andrea, Michelle and Darryl also shared their families’ history with homeownership and their personal journey toward owning a home in the Seattle area. “Home to me means stability. It means predictability,” said Andrea, who became a homeowner at age 40. “It offers psychological safety and financial security, but also hope and possibility for others who are looking to dream.” The conversation also addressed the work ahead and why this project will initially focus on Black homebuyers. “If we can figure this out for the African American and the Black community, there are side benefits for all of us,” Darryl said. “If you can help those who are having the largest racial wealth gap, you start to close the gap for a lot of other folks as well.” Thank you again to the Big Phony, a Korean-American singer/songwriter living in Seoul, South Korea for allowing us to his music in our intro and outro, all royalty-free!…

Today that guest is Paula Houston (she/her), chief equity officer for UW Medicine in the Office of Healthcare Equity. Paula talks with episode host Frank Nam about how her own experience navigating the health care system as a Black woman and three-time breast cancer survivor motivated her to devote her career to health care equity. A world-champion in powerlifting, Paula also discusses personal and professional moments of belonging and why community engagement is essential to the mission of UW Medicine. “We’re dismantling oppressive systems, and it’s going to make it better for everybody,” Paula says. “(At UW Medicine) now we don’t just talk about health equity, but we talk about health justice.” During the pandemic, Paula and her team have worked to improve access to testing and vaccines in Seattle’s south-end communities and communities of color. A big part of that effort: truly listening to what people have to say. “People have their own agency within communities, and we’re there to work with them. They need to lead by telling us what they need, but we really need to listen in a way that we haven’t been listening before,” she says. Learn more about Paula in a virtual exhibit from the Gates Foundation Discovery Center called Enduring COVID-19: Stories from our Transforming World. And don’t miss the opportunity to engage with her and other speakers during the first installation of Facing Forward, a new Discovery Center program series. The event is on Feb. 17, 2022.

In this episode we are excited to partner with our friends at The Evergrey to highlight the stories of three small business owners in Seattle.
