  • A Question of Paternity: The Intimate Journey of Unknown Origins
    2024/09/17
    Today we will discuss self-identity in the context of not knowing one's birth origins. How do social and familial circumstances shape our identities when we enter the world, and throughout our lives? In particular, what is the potential impact of not knowing the origins of your DNA, and the person who embodies it? Nuclear families, parents, guardians, and other immediate people in a child's life, often well-intentioned have withheld knowledge of children's birth identities. While it is more common for this to be a matter of paternity, children who are adopted, whose parents have died, or who otherwise live not knowing the origins of their birth, may also not know the identity of who gave birth to them. What are the reasons for this, and how does this ultimately impact the self-identity of children and adults? David Tereshchuk, author of A Question of Paternity: My Life as an Unaffiliated Reporter, will share his insight and intimate experiences, seeking to find the identity of his father. His story is heartrending and one that will be deeply resonant for so many.

  • End FGM Now! Female Genital Mutilation & Policy Change in the US
    2024/09/10
    Warning: This episode may contain words and imagery that could be activating to survivors and others who condemn the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). It is an honor to have Angela Peabody on the show today. She is the founder and Executive Director of the Global Woman® P.E.A.C.E. Foundation (GWPF), a nonprofit focused on ending gender-based violence and empowering women and girls through education. With her leadership, GWPF has made significant strides, including organizing the first Walk to End FGM in the U.S., securing legislation to criminalize FGM in the state of Virginia, and advocating for FGM education in Virginia schools. Angela also trains law enforcement and school personnel on FGM and supports survivors through specialized workshops. Angela Peabody is the first Liberian woman to pen and publish a full-length novel. She is the author of the fictional book When the Games Froze, which was republished in May 2023. This book is a heart-wrenching story about everyday people who come together by fate and are destined to help others in need. Tune in to learn about the history of the practice of FGM on infants and young girls and the lifelong impact on survivors. We confront the practices of FGM as it is often a missing conversation in reproductive rights and health education, initiatives, and practices. We are grateful for the work of the Global Woman® P.E.A.C.E. Foundation (GWPF) and all who act to end FGM practices. We highlight the realities of FGM to recognize, remember, and honor all survivors globally.

  • Centering Childless Voices Amidst a Wave of Distorted Narratives
    2024/09/03
    On today's show, we are honored to have the founder of World Childless Week, Stephanie Joy Phillips as our guest! Last year, Stephanie was awarded the ‘Together’ Make A Difference Award from BBC Hereford and Worcester. We continue to celebrate Stephanie and all she has done in service to those who are childless. We will discuss the upcoming World Childless Week events and learn more about how to participate in and support this meaningful week! World Childless Week will be held from 16-22 September this year, and as always there will be new and familiar voices, creative expressions, webinars, and much more for you to connect in ways that matter most to you right now. We will also assess the recent vitriol aimed at childless people and the varied responses to these verbal attacks. How has this been addressed, and who has been centered in response to these false narratives? Tune in live for these topics and much more!
