"Kids Are Full of Life and Hope" Teaching Children Anti-Racism w/ DiverseCity Mike

06/20/20 • 39 min

“The coming together of people who otherwise wouldn’t meet.” As BLM gains more traction than ever, I wanted to offer some hope and inspiration. Today I speak with my dear friend, Michael Fratangelo, founder of DivserseCity.

In 2007, DiverseCity (a sports camp) began as a way to bridge divides among fractured communities by intentionally integrating children from various socio-economic, ethnic, religious, abilities, and backgrounds.

Mike’s valiant & vigilant efforts towards anti-racism is nothing short of inspiring.

We need more Michael’s in this world.

Black Lives Matter - An Unexpected Phone Call w/ A Stranger

Todayis June 4th. I am not okay. The world is on fire following the death of George Floyd, and I forgot to cancel my podcast guest- Gram (IG: @HeavierThanAGram)
Note: Gram and I do not know each other personally, nor had ever spoken to one another before- we simply connected on IG as fellow Podcasters.
So when I saw his name on the line- I figured I would answer and tell him, "Sorry- I am not in the mood to host today." The conversation quickly turned into our thoughts on the BLM movement and more. This is a real and raw conversation, and I am so grateful for Gram's openness to speak to a complete stranger across the country over such a painful topic to address.

"You can't kill that guy" - Surviving Trauma w/ Laine

🎙👄 By 9 years old, Laine endured more than many of us ever will in our entire lives- God willing. Recapping any segment of his journey would feel unfair and too shallow, so you will have to listen (that’s not a teaser, I say that genuinely) to hear about his broken road to happiness.

I am incessantly inspired by the resilience of the human body and mind, and the many champions that came throughout support those in need.

All I can say is listen to this podcast if you need to remember that YOU can truly overcome anything, and together we can build each other into greater humans.

I am moved, I am touched, I am HONORED Laine would so valiantly share his story with me.
