In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Please listen to this episode of the Roots Watering Hole podcast with Dr. Christy Garrison Harrison of Southern University. We asked Dr. Harrison to respond to a question we asked of respondents to our collaboration with the Center for Humans and Nature for their Questions for a Resilient Future series. The question is "What can we learn from the soil about our fundamental interconnectedness?" Additionally, we followed up by asking Dr. Harrison to respond to how people in the African Diaspora should deal with the meta-crisis or poly-crisis threatening all beings with extinction. For more information on the term see: https://www.realitystudies.co/p/explaining-polycrisis-and-metacrisis . We asked the question from the framework of acknowledging that the people of Africa and the African Diaspora are the oldest human populations on Mother Earth. After over 200,000 years of adapting to life, how do we take responsibility and leadership for the future of humans and all of our relations?

This is a very brief episode of the food literacy podcast so as usual pay attention to the show notes for what we hope is useful information. More importantly, I want to make sure to thank all of the people and organizations I work with throughout the year. The new year is just about 7 weeks away and 39 days away from the winter solstice and the journey of the return of the sun and longer days. Spring arrives in just 128 days from the date of this recording. The last frost date is usually reported as April 15th for our USDA hardiness zone 6a but we know better and recommend using May 1st as the last frost date. There is no certainty about frost dates. See the chart here with a planting schedule for various crops and flowers you may find useful. Here is an excellent article about the benefits of gardening that I think you will enjoy. On the food as medicine front, I have a link to an American College of Lifestyle publication of 23 articles regarding food as medicine. Finally, we have heard a lot about the impact sugar consumption has on health, so here is an article about how low sugar consumption early in life may cut the risk of developing chronic diseases later in life. Perhaps these offerings will help you and your family make food choices during the upcoming holiday season. I will close this brief episode before returning in December and beyond with plenty of information regarding programs from Chicago Grows Food and our partners. Have a wonderful holiday, and if possible, spend quality time with family and friends. Peace!

October 2024 Food Literacy Podcast 22:47

Hello, listeners to the October 2024 Food Literacy Podcast. Harvest time is upon us but as strange as it may seem it is also time to think about the 2025 gardening season. Get ready for winter and 2025! Here are some resources I hope will inform your decision(s). In doing research for this episode, I came across the Gardenary YouTube channel and an episode that suggested we stop using fertilizers to grow our gardens. The title was a bit misleading, but I agreed well sort of. The host talked about synthetic fertilizers so check out the entire video for useful information. That said for those of us using grow bags for our gardening projects I recommend using a bit of organic fertilizer with the techniques described in the video because containers need a bit more nutrient support. For some excellent information regarding organic fertilizers see the Ecofriendly Homestead site regarding organic fertilizers , I recommend reading the entire post. I repeat I agree with the Gardenary host about the importance of compost and in her words poop for fertilizing our gardens. The host recommended manure and worm castings, and I recommend worm casting and staying away from animal manure in our home gardens. Generally, I recommend organic fertilizers in the beginning stages of your garden such as when transplanting seedlings into the grow bags and when seed you direct sowed have germinated, after that you can get by with compost and worm castings although I mix a very small amount of organic fertilizer to the worm casting say 10% of the mixture. I will provide information about local sources for local compost for those that are not making compost at home in an upcoming episode. Gardenary , offered some additional information that I think you will find useful regarding potential growing opportunities to consider for October. Also see the Gardenary 2024 calendar and watch for the 2025 edition. The general information will not change regarding frost dates, seed starting schedules, etc. Think of your budget for items such as amendments, hoses, garden tools, etc. you can usually find them at a lower price now and into the winter. Once, spring arrives the prices go up... I saw interesting videos from America’s Heartland regarding cultural foods and the food as medicine benefits of cultural foods and gardening that resonated deeply with me as I have been promoting cultural food primarily from the African Diaspora this past season and we will be continuing the program in 2025 while adding cultural food from other cultures in the ethnosphere. What is the ethnosphere you ask? The ethnosphere according to Dr. Wade Davis is defined here. Additional resources: Can you still plant crops in October? Check it out . Preparing now for your seed starting projects in the spring . Thinking about growing an herbal apothecary ? (Remember to consult with your health care provider.)

Hello Listeners, this is a concise episode devoted to encouraging our listeners to establish a fall vegetable garden Longer episodes will begin in September 2024 where we will discuss myriad food literacy and wellness issues as well as follow up on fall vegetable gardening methods. I am having a hard time believing that it is August but alas it is! But it is fall garden and crop time, personally because of early season illness the fall season will be crucial for us as we will be planting many cool weather crops. Also, I have had several conversations with growers of all types and there is a lot of interest in growing at least a fall crop. It is the beginning of August and in terms of the traditional garden season here in Chicago is about 70 days left before the first frost date of around Oct. 15th some estimates that I have seen suggest that it may be pushed back to Nov 1st. You never know but early frost is not a problem for many crops such as green leafy vegetables like turnip , mustard and collard greens , kale , spinach, etc. There are a lot of wonderful sites for information but one I recommend is Harvest to Table with their wealth of information. Check the show notes for more information about crops to grow in August. On that note, we are distributing seeds for fall crops to many of our partners as part of the African Diaspora Crop Project. We are contemplating changing the name to the Ancestral Crop Project as we will be adding seeds from around the world to the distribution for 2025 to integrate our friends and neighbors from various ethnicities. Are you South Asian, Latinx, or any other ethnic background please give us recommendations for next years project. This year’s pilot program is a success, and I will be discussing how it went and changes for 2025 in an upcoming episode. Here are a couple of videos about fall gardening Growfully with Jenna and Chicago Gardener . There are advantages to growing a fall garden such as cooler days and reduced pest pressure to name a couple. Embrace the fall and extended gardening opportunities. We have talked about it before and will cover season extension in more detail in the September episode. Season extension will lengthen your growing season making it possible to grow into the winter and even in some cases next spring.

The Food Literacy podcast resumes after a hiatus. I am better now and returning to the microphone with the July 2024 Food Literacy Podcast. This is probably more accurately described as a shortcast but we will cover some gardening topics for July and a few Food as Medicine items in the show notes. I hope you enjoy the episode! I have commissioned carpenter friends Mike Reynolds and Rudy Taylor to design and build garden tables to enhance the gardening experience for elders and those with mobility challenges, that can be included in the home garden kits distributed by the CGF coalition. Check out the videos included in the show notes. Remember there is plenty left of this season with things you can start in July and a selection of crops appropriate for the upcoming cool season. According to the tool at Almanac.com , the first frost date is predicted to be November 1, 2024, and our growing season is 197 days which may be increased with season extension and appropriate crop selection strategies. Check out the Gardening Channel with James Prigioni for ideas about what to plant in July and July garden tasks. Near us in Michigan check out the MI Gardener video with suggestions for July, it is a little long so fast forward a bit. Remember you still have about 100 days of growing season left if you choose wisely. Reach out to Chicago Grows Food for technical support regarding what to plant in July and for fall, cool weather crops. Check out this episode from Hollis and Nancy and Nancy’s Homestead about container gardening that inspired our decision to create an elevated table system for home gardening solutions or elders and those with limited mobility . On the Food as Medicine front check out the Guardian article on how healthy childhood diets may mitigate cognitive problems as we age underscoring the importance of providing nutritious food and diets to our children. However, it is not too late as a study reviewed in Eureka Alert suggests that eating well in your 40s is a boost to healthy aging influencing your life at and into your 70s. Here is more information about the NUTRITION 2024 conference held in Chicago, which is the source for the Eureka Alert article.

The Roots Watering Hole podcast series is back after some life issues that kept us from publishing except for our food literacy podcast for several months. We return with a compelling interview with Dr. Gerald that we think you will enjoy, Bio : "Dr. JPB Gerald is an educator and theorist with a day job in non-profit education management and a side hustle trying to dismantle these systems we're all in. He writes and speaks about the intersection between racism, language education, and ability, and lives on unceded Munsee Lenape territory (aka NYC) with his wife, toddler, and dog." Dr. Gerald came to the Roots Watering Hole podcast series after my co-host and co-producer Dr. Akilah Martin shared a podcast episode where Justin appeared as a guest on the Integrated Schools podcast . To say the least, I was intrigued and picked up Justin’s book, Antisocial Language Teaching: English and the Pervasive Pathology of Whiteness . Dr. Akilah and I both read the book and reached out to Dr. Gerald, and he graciously agreed to be a guest on the RWH podcast. Thank you again, Justin! Tune in now for our episode with Dr. JPB Gerald.

The food literacy podcast will kick off in full swing with the February 2024 episode. However, we know many of our gardening people are ready to get going but slow down just a bit and whet your appetite with these video offerings from MIgardener .

MIgardener discusses the new hardiness zones and their implications for your gardening adventure in 2024. Then check out their episode on seeds you may want to consider starting in January . If you are going to start your seeds indoors and use grow lights here is some information you may find useful, The world of grow lights is extensive so be sure to search the keyword "indoor grow lights" and do your research.

November typically marks the end of the growing season for most of us in the Chicago region. However, there are some gardeners who may apply season extension strategies that carry them through the winter. If that is not you do not fret, it is time to close out the 2023 season, get some rest, and begin planning for 2024. We will not cover much at all regarding gardening tasks for November but in the show, notes please find information about garden tasks for our hardiness zones USDA zones 5 and 6. Please share our podcast with your network regardless of what hardiness zone they live in because the link covers all of the November tasks for the USA found on the Sow True Seeds website. Also, please note the 2022 November podcast for information. It is the season where we may be tempted to overeat and eat things that may not suit our health and well-being, so I offer a cautionary tale and remind you that food is a core element in our health and well-being. No judgment though just be mindful... Check the show notes for tips on mindful eating from Psychology Today and see Mindfulness Exercises and remember to apply mindfulness eating strategies beyond the holidays into our daily lives. Remember in the last episode we covered ultra-processed foods well a recent article in the Washington Post indicates the new dietary guidelines to be published in 2025 may include a warning about ultra-process food and their impact on our health. The article also indicates the food industry has already begun to push back on warnings regarding ultra-processed food in the next dietary guideline go figure... We are complete beings and there should be no separation between, physical or mental health. On that note check out this article on ultra-processed food and mental health . So, check out keywords such as ultra-processed food and health, ultra-processed food, and mental health, define ultra-processed food, and the true cost of ultra-processed food. Hopefully, your journey will assist you and your family in living healthier lives. Check out this article on why you should do your research before embarking upon any strategy that will hopefully make us healthier. I want to let you know that in the December 2023 episode, we will give you an overview of what to expect in 2024, including changes to the Chicago Grows Food program offerings. Check out the Chicago Grows Food newsletter to hear about the book club being planned. I will not reveal the book title here but know that it will be related to rest.
