I was born and raised in Queens in NY. I spent my whole life in theatre, I attended Frank Sinatra High school and then followed my love for theatre and performance to the University at Buffalo. After that I was working in NYC doing theatre auditioning, but also working as a teaching artist. After a trip to Thailand with a college friend Jacqueline Raymond Wegman we knew we needed to take our love for theatre and education and use it as a source for good. International Girls Ensemble was born, now I had to figure out how to run a non profit, I went back to school got my Masters in Arts Administration and have been working at IGE every since.

EPISODE SUMMARY: 

Steve will tell the story of having met the day-to-day challenges and pressures of an athletic career for over twenty years, only to have to face down the humbling realities of prostate cancer. When he came out on the other side of surgery and recovery, he made a call to Ed Randall, asking to be "a foot soldier in (his) army." That role has expanded to helping to manage strategy for a modest-sized but hard-working charity that supports men at all stages of their prostate cancer journeys.

Fans for the Cure was founded in 2003 by sports broadcaster Ed Randall to bring awareness of and education about prostate cancer to men, with an emphasis on the importance of early detection. The charity has evolved from bringing its message to sporting events to supporting and organizing health fairs and screenings in underserved and vulnerable communities. Fans for the Cure also moderates over fifty support groups annually for both men and for women/partners/caregivers. The charity also refers between 100 and 200 men each year to trusted urologists and oncologists for diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship monitoring.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Most people have never heard of a human milk bank. This is an opportunity to learn about a source of nutrition that just about everyone has experienced, but knows little about. Human milk is more than a source of nutrition, it is a medicine for premature infants who will not only survive but thrive if provided with human milk during their earliest days of life. 

Linda Harelick, MBA, DrPH, has a deep-rooted interest in social impact, shaped by her early experiences as a registered dietitian, which exposed her to the intricate interplay of environmental, cultural, and societal factors on individual potential. Seeking a shift into management, she pursued an MBA from Columbia Business School, a stepping stone to her role at Kraft Foods. Here, she managed strategic planning and marketing for renowned brands like Maxwell House Coffee and Post Cereal, culminating in leadership of Global Consumer Services. Eager to reconnect with health promotion, she attained a doctorate in public health from New York Medical College, propelling her to become Director of Operations and Communications at ChildObesity180 at Tufts University. 

In this capacity, Linda harnessed her managerial acumen and public health expertise to propel a startup nonprofit into a prominent entity in the fight against childhood obesity. Displaying an unwavering commitment to child and family well-being, she joined Harlem Children’s Zone, entrusted with extending the successful Healthy Harlem initiative nationwide. 

Presently, as Executive Director of the New York Milk Bank, Linda enthusiastically spearheads the provision of pasteurized donor human milk to preterm infants and medically fragile babies, furthering her mission to enhance the health outcomes of the most vulnerable.
