Depolarized

Episode 23: Two weeks ago, twenty Democrat hopefuls went on stage in Detroit, Michigan to make their pitch for President of the United States. The debates featured many passionate attempts to capture the American electorate’s support. However, as we watched these debates, we couldn’t help but think that there was a massive misstep in the debates: the candidates were talking past each other, not with each other. 

This week on the pod, we talked about sound bite politics, how we got here and what we can do to solve it. We aren't experts in this field, but we hope you enjoy this genuine conversation between two GenZers about the state of our media-politics romance.

Episode 22: How do we end global poverty? 

This week, Jackson Labell-Nevard and Alexa Shamie of The Transition Project hopped on a call to help us answer this pressing question. 

The Transition Project is a nonprofit organization that aims to find employment for financially disadvantaged individuals while ensuring that they smoothly transition into the workforce. They offer a program called the fly-by program which helps the individuals make the transition and hopes it will improve the long term standards of living for the people who are currently struggling through unemployment and poverty. This project was founded by Jackson Labell-Nevard during the summer of 2018 when he gathered a group of high schoolers. Over the course of a year, the team worked tirelessly to find 99 people jobs and ever since then, the project has only been growing.

Episode 20: “One in four women struggled to afford period products in the last year because of a lack of income. The first city wide study that was done about period poverty in St. Louis found that 46% of low-income women had to choose between a meal and period products every month. Periods are the number one reason why women miss school in developing countries, the leading cause for absenteeism for girls here in the US from period related pain.”

Nadya Okamoto is the founder and executive director of PERIOD, the largest youth-run NGO in women’s health. Through the organization she started at 16, she has addressed over 500,000 periods and registered over 350 campus chapters. Most recently, she was named to InStyle Magazine’s “The Badass 50: Meet the Women Who Are Changing the World” list, along with Michelle Obama, Ariana Grande, and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.  On this week’s episode, we covered everything from her origin story, how to cut through all the BS out there so she can stay motivated, and what’s in store for her future.
