This week on the podcast it’s flashback February. Inspired by last year’s Black History Month compilation episode (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/163), for this week, also dedicated to Black History Month, I’ve selected glocally speaking, mindset hacking and solution-scaping excerpts from conversations over the past year. Starting with the Science Mercenary, Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/hakeem-oluseyi) on how reconceptualizing our ideas on time and how the evolutionary continuum of human intelligence need not be as complicated as we think. Cognitive-Behavioral Research Scientist, Dr. Juleen Christopher (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/juleen-christopher) reinforces his thoughts by introducing us to her mindset hack, a technique called positive intelligence and how a commitment to telling ourselves and living a story contrary to those embedded in social injustice are at the bedrock of her activism. Cultural practitioner, Kobby Graham (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/kobby-graham) furthers the story as he elaborates on his mindset hack - collaboration and how its revival in the African psyche is critical to progress. Communication specialist and cultural curator, Samba Yonga (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/sambe-yonga) then illustrates how our African histories reinforce this collaborative ethic and is using her museum as the narrative activism necessary to reinform a new now. Finally, glocally speaking, the Money Maker, Eric Collins (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/eric-collins), puts his money where his mouth is investing in the change that he and his partners at Impact X Capital intend to see in black communities across Europe. The common thread in my selections is activism which is the why of Black History Month. Waking each morning in parts of the world rife with injustice is itself an act of courageous resistance. We must challenge ourselves to uplift untold stories and unheard voices, so that by valuing global Black histories, we can collectively build, simply put, a better today.

Kicking off the midway point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice--the reason behind the ancient observation of May Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Day), we have a two-part conversation that likewise offers interesting perspectives on the contemporary observation of May Day - International Workers' Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Workers%27_Day) and the difference that mindset can have on the fruits of one’s labor. My guest for these discussions is Dr. Juleen Christopher. A dual citizen of the United States (by way of the US Virgin Islands) and the British Virgin Islands, in 2018 Juleen firmly reset her roots in the BVI with the purchase of St. Bernard’s Hill House, a 5-star luxury villa experience in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. In her other world, she is the Founder and Inspiration Strategist of Beyond The Fork, a consultancy aimed at helping companies, their leaders and their employees navigate interpersonal challenges and work more effectively as teams.  Since arriving in the mainland US from her native St. Croix, she has become a cognitive-behavioral research scientist because she is passionate about working with tools to help guide and empower individuals to become accountable for their holistic health and well-being through education, understanding, and personal growth. This work has taken her from the American south to the East Coast and now to the midwest where she calls now calls Minneapolis, Minnesota home.
