Pandemic Parenting, Part II

On Part II of our pandemic parenting series, we talk to Dr. Yolande Bouka (@YolandeBouka), Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Studies at Queen's University. In this episode, we talk about how the pressures of being a parent in academia, and in a pandemic, are hitting us personally. Auntie Yolande talks about prioritizing our health and our needs. In doing so, we are modelling to the people in our lives, including our children, why it is important to advocate for ourselves.Related LinksYolande Bouka, PhDCOVID Parenting Has Passed the Point of AbsurdityThe Nap MinistryThanks for listening!

Ozarks Haints N Hooch Ozarks Haints N Hooch Ozarks Haints N Hooch features two sisters from the Ozarks, Dawn Larsen and Dina Larsen Gillman. They gather bi-monthly remotely from two different states to offer stories about Ozark ghosts, monsters, superstitions, people, places, lore, and history - with a bonus twist, a cocktail themed to the feature story. Grab some hooch and join them, but know that “this ain’t no fancy, academic, check your references, kinda deal. This is four girls from the Ozarks sipping and spewing about haints, hooch, and history.” FB / Instagram: @OzarksHaintsNHooch Explicit The Professor Is In The Professor Is In The Professor Is In answers all your questions about the academic career. Dr. Karen Kelsky and productivity coach Kel Weinhold, with their trademark combination of candor, humor, and compassion (and a healthy dose of critique), tell you the truth about how the academy works, with strategies for reaching your goals while prioritizing your emotional well being. We go where others don't, breaking down the unspoken rules of academic culture, including all the ways it centers white folks and marginalizes everyone else. Our mission: whether you're in grad school, on the job market, on the tenure track, adjuncting, or deciding to leave the academy and do something else, we are here to support you with insights, advice, and real talk. Explicit Betwixt and Between Betwixt and Between Betwixt and Between are two witches and real life friends who curl up on the sofa amidst animals, tea and craft projects to chat about witchcraft. Sometimes we bring on knowledgeable guests and sometimes we use our own expertise from our academic backgrounds in theology and psychology to add to texture to our shows. But we always approach our subjects from a practical, personal, dirt-under-fingernails perspective. Explicit Your Aunties Could Never YOUR AUNTIES COULD NEVER Your Aunties Could Never bring you entertaining no-nonsense straight talk from women who aren't afraid to say all the things you wish you could say. AK, Farrah & Nana, are three friends from the UK who have lived life and are well respected in business endeavors and amongst friends and family. Elevating them to Elite Auntie status. The Aunties have a voice and are not fearful of being heard. Join them as they discuss topical news and politics, comment on popular culture, and give advice all from an informed (mature) Black woman's perspective. Think a daytime chat show but with seasoning, real talk & large amounts of Melanin Magic. Explicit
