Persistence U with Lizbeth

Imagine a time when your ability to get a raise was not based on merit, but on whether your importance to your family merited it.  That's what Heather Flynn faced early in her career, as did countless other women who did the same work as their male counterparts but were told they would be paid less money since they weren't the head of the household. You will learn:Sometimes, it's the childhood experience of being excluded that sparks a passion for inclusion.Title IX  is an important part of women's history, and is the US federal civil rights law that prohibits gender-based discrimination in any school or other educational program that receives federal funds.The gains made from others years of activism are easily lost should we forget our history.(Listen HERE to Pulitzer Prize-winning Journalist Maria Henson share how she took the system to task on behalf of domestic abuse survivors in the previous episode.)BIO: Heather Flynn is a philanthropist and retired educator whose lengthy career began in education, and continued with her serving on the Anchorage School Board, the Anchorage Assembly, and as the Executive Director of The Alaska Women's Resource Center and Abused Women's Aid in Crisis. Lizbeth’s links Support the podcast and Lizbeth's writing for $2 or $5 a month on Patreon HEREOR Buy Lizbeth a Coffee Lizbeth's memoir Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughters is now a TV movie, #Stolen By Their Father on Lifetime, now streaming on Roku, Vudu, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.Lizbeth's second book, Grounded in Grit: Turn Your Challenges Into Superpowers is available to order wherever books are sold!

Maria Henson was a young journalist based in Lexington, Kentucky in the early 90's when she found a problem that needed solving. Too many victims of family violence were not being protected when they called the police, or when they filed for a protective order before judges.With a dynamic team of writers and editors behind her at the Lexington Harald-Leader, she spotlighted stories of justice, publishing photos and names of victims and discussing the judges, prosecutors, and officers who stood in the way. She gave voice to the survivors. And laws in Kentucky rapidly changed.You will learn:To spark great change, one must have the belief that things can improve.Working with a supportive team or community is critical to successful implementation.Gains made to protect victims of domestic abuse fluctuate, and require ongoing scrutiny and services to keep the vulnerable inside a family protected.To get a copy of Maria Henson's To Have and To Harm series, email me at [email protected], or reach out to her at [email protected]. Please understand that the images and stories included may be triggering for some.Bio:Maria Henson won the Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for her editorial series about domestic violence and, in California, edited a series about Yosemite National Park that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2005. She now teaches and is associate vice president and editor-at-large at Wake Forest University in North Carolina.Lizbeth’s links Support the podcast and Lizbeth's writing for $2 or $5 a month on Patreon HEREOR Buy Lizbeth a Coffee Lizbeth's memoir Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughters is now a TV movie, #Stolen By Their Father on Lifetime, now streaming on Roku, Vudu, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.Lizbeth's second book, Grounded in Grit: Turn Your Challenges Into Superpowers is available to order wherever books are sold!

It's Women's History Month, and I've already been thinking about the lives of women past, and the opportunities they didn't have. My own mother, a woman who was smart and capable and wanting more, reminded me of how tragic it is when people are forced into roles due to societal expectations.

So I decided to call her, after nearly 3 decades of no contact.

You will learn:

• Motherhood is a role that's neither intuitive nor desired by all women who become pregnant, resulting in devastating consequences at times.
• Women's History Month acknowledges the contributions of women past whose sacrifices have made it possible for us to limit family size, vote, get an education, and connect to work that we're passionate about.
•  It's never too late to thank those women in our lives whose contributions we honor.

Stay tuned for my interview with my own role models, including next week's interview with journalist and professor Maria Henson.

Brenda Welburn is proud of her history.

The great-granddaughter of a slave who sent seven of his nine children to college, Brenda herself attended Howard University and earned multiple degrees. She worked in education for 35 years, serving as the Executive Director of the National Association for School Boards. She traveled the world with her husband, hitting six of the seven continents, and counting. And just when others might slow down, she retired and began her book series about Annie Cestry to inspire others to learn about their own family histories.

Connect with Brenda at BrendaWelburn.com to schedule a presentation and/or  buy her books, which are also available at the usual outlets.

You will learn:

• You're never too old to expand your education and personal interests.
• Younger generations should understand that they benefit from the struggles from their forefathers, but they can lose those gains if apathetic.
• The new digital world hasn't enhanced the attention span of students, appearing to threaten college attendance in the future.
