Equity Snapshots: The Model Minority Myth- Is Episode Ep. 15
<p>The month of May is <a href="https://www.asianpacificheritage.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month</a>, in honor of this we centered a conversation around an important topic, The Model Minority Myth. I am joined by Dylan Van Duyne (he/him), an Equity Training Specialist within the SDP Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. </p> <p>We continue our Equity Snapshot series in which our Equity Training Specialists discuss different concepts and topics in equity work. We are working through Oppressive Thematic Ideologies, which the ETSs will be conducting trainings on throughout the year. Oppressive Thematic Ideologies highlight different forms of oppression and inequities that people of various identities experience. The aim is to educate and increase awareness of the challenges and the assets that different communities have in order for everyone to grow more aware of our society and explore a better way forward towards equity. </p> <p>This podcast is about cultivating prosperity and liberation for students and staff. We do this by showcasing and debriefing the great equity work that is being done throughout The School District of Philadelphia community. With each episode, we hope to cover topics that will create pathways for marginalized populations in our District, by removing barriers, increasing access and inclusion, building trust, and creating a shared culture of social responsibility and organizational accountability.</p> <p>Our music is by students from <a href="https://rocktothefuture.org/">Rock to the Future</a>, an organization offering free music programs to students in Philadelphia. </p> <p><br>To learn more about what our office does <a href="https://www.philasd.org/dei/">visit our website</a>. </p> <p><strong>Report an incident/Get involved:</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Report AAPI Hate-</strong> https://stopaapihate.org/reportincident/</p> <p><strong>Report Bullying, Harassment, or Discrimination within the Philadelphia School District- </strong>https://www.philasd.org/studentrights/bhd/</p> <p><strong>Save Philly's Chinatown- </strong>https://apipennsylvania.org/chinatown/</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Philly AAPI Organizations:</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Asian Arts Initiative-</strong> https://asianartsinitiative.org/</p> <p><strong>SEAMAAC-</strong> https://www.seamaac.org/</p> <p><strong>Gapura Philadelphia- </strong>https://gapuraphilly.wixsite.com/website</p> <p><strong>Philly Asian Queer- </strong>https://phillyasianqueer.com/</p> <p><strong>Vietlead-</strong> https://www.vietlead.org/</p> <p><strong>Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture- </strong>https://www.albustanseeds.org/</p> <p><strong>Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia</strong>- https://www.cagp.org/</p> <p><strong>South Asian American Digital Archive-</strong> https://www.saada.org/</p> <p><strong>WOORI Center-</strong> https://www.wooricenterpa.org/</p> <p><strong>HIAS PA-</strong> https://hiaspa.org/</p> <p><strong>Asian Pacific Islander Political Alliance- </strong>https://apipennsylvania.org/</p> <p><strong>Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation- </strong>https://chinatown-pcdc.org/</p> <p><strong>Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance- </strong>https://www.apalanet.org/about.html</p> <p><strong>CAIR Philadelphia-</strong> https://pa.cair.com/</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Other resources/recommendations:</strong></p> <p> Passing it On: A Memoir by Yuri Kochiyama</p> <p>So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo <strong>Lunch and Learn Talk with CAIR Philadelphia-</strong> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zATXlpYNtg</p> <p><strong>Lunch and Learn Talk with Al-Busan Seeds of Culture-</strong> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGziUj5DmIM <strong>2022 "No Longer Invisible" AAPI Panel Discussion-</strong> https://youtu.be/JaegNeVgMwU </p> <p><br></p> <p> </p>

Equity Is Understanding: The Breakfast with the Brothers Program in Learning Network 6- Episode 13
<p>On this episode of Equity Is we talk to some folks running a different kind of violence prevention program in Learning Network 6. Breakfast with the Brothers is a gun/crime diversion, prevention and intervention program. BWTB is geared towards youth, who are at risk of being or currently a perpetrator of violent crime. Breakfast With The Brothers does not consist of skilled workshops like your average diversion program. They are confident it will have the same effects through a more conscious & consistent group guided discussion amongst male professional leaders, over a hot breakfast.</p> <p>The program is run by <a href="//www.trustfacctororg.com">Trust Factor</a>. Trust Factor is all about bringing Trust back to the community. Founded in 2021 by Zachary Frazier and Jessica Hill, Trust Factor encourages community involvement, intensive self-reflection, positive critical thinking, trust building, and self accountability. BWTB is one of many programs Trust Factor runs to ensure they are providing more resources to their communities and youth. </p> <p><br></p> <p>You will hear from:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Zachary Frazier- CEO of Trust Factor</strong></li> <li><strong>Eugene Lett- Climate and Culture Coach for LN 6</strong></li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><u><strong>Links to Resources and Information from our Guests:</strong></u></p> <ul> <li><u><strong>Breakfast with the Brothers PDF Information: </strong></u><strong>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nMf_4Fds5Gz6HluyaIW-KH-92CoE4CxR/view?usp=sharing</strong></li> <li><u><strong>Eugene's Recent work with students: </strong></u><strong> https://whyy.org/articles/76ers-snipes-christy-rec-center-kids-shopping-spree-montrezl-harrell/</strong></li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p>This podcast is about cultivating prosperity and liberation for students and staff, families, and the SDP community at large.
