March 14, 2020 Barry White Jr | Treating children as individuals
Barry became famous because of his personalized handshakes at the school where he teaches. We had to talk to him and learn where did that come from, what is behind, and who is the men behind the handshake thing. Well, the outcome is brilliant. An amazing conversation debating how much we should treat children as individuals, how much school system still differentiates social classes, but as well, how much is being done by teachers to fight that. We still shouldn't judge a fish by his ability to climb a tree!! Barry took some time to explain us how is the system in United States, and we had a great time also debating the role of a teacher in modern society. Listening to this conversation is a must.

March 12, 2020 Juliet Birungi | Say NO to more orphans in Uganda
The number of Orphans in Uganda is quite significant, and while the institutions do the best they can to give a good life to these kids, the fact is that they won't, likely, ever relate with their biological family.
This is even more obvious, if we take in consideration the large business around international adoption, and the big interest some countries have to have a larger number of Orphans, as that is a clear source of significant revenue. The borderline between business and human trafficking is quite thin.
Juliet and the Zion Family Support is trying to fight this, by giving tools to the mothers or close family for them to be able to raise these children and with that, prevent them to end up in an orphanage.
Thanks to the No White Saviors, Juliet has been able to keep on helping families to learn how run businesses or even manage emotions, building that way, the proper mental structure to not give up on their kids.
Zion Family Support needs our help. Listen to this podcast, learn more about them, and maybe just give them some help to keep going.

March 09, 2020 Marieke Bink | Combating Elderly Loneliness
How many times do we hear "that virus is just killing older people" or "at that age what would you expect?" Loneliness is an issue no matter what age. Everyone deserves dignity and happy life at all stages of their lives. We connected with Singapore to talk with Marieke, a Dutch woman that took the typical Dutch cycling culture to Singapore. She did more than that though, she understood that connecting the generations and getting people to spend time together while going for a bicycle ride, it is simply priceless and can easily give years of life back as she explained. Cycling Without Age is more than just going out for a tour with someone "carrying you". It is about making sure the elderly people understand how much we respect them, how much we can learn with them, and belong to a world that is more and more disconnected. This podcast is dedicated to all people that suffer from loneliness anywhere in this world, as that shouldn't ever happen to anyone.

February 18, 2020 Conscious Change | The narcissistic abuse
Have you ever heard about Narcissistic people? Is the first thing it comes to your mind, the person that often looks at the mirror?
Well, there is a lot more in there to be known.
Today, we talked about Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and how much people with that disorder can abuse others, and cause so much damage in their life.
Nadina, who is working with victims of this type of abuse, has helped us to better understand this topic, and more important, gave her testimonial on how much we can identify those behaviors and with that, potentially help people.
This kind of trauma is also mental health, and therefore can't be ignored.
Listen to this great conversation, and educate yourself on this topic.

February 17, 2020 Julia Lalla-Maharajh | Female genital cutting is not a myth
When we think of Female Genital Mutilation or Cutting, we tend to believe it is not something that still exists. Well...it does, and we need to bring that up, so we raise awareness to that. We had a great conversation with Julia about the beginning of the Orchid Project, something that she set up to battle this social issue. We talked about the challenges they face, the cultural shift that is needed, and in some cases even political shift too. After listening to Julia, we got a much clear understanding of the issue we are facing in all Continents, though in higher number in Africa. This is civil rights, and can't be ignored. A must listen conversation, which we hope it helps everyone to understand how much we can do to help people. Let's #TalkItThru Together!

February 07, 2020 Dr. Eric Harris | Dental care can't be a nice to have
Do you think Dental Care is not something we would bring as social awareness? No way we would leave that out. For the record, dental care is one of the most important things we should think of, because contrary to what people may think, if we have problems on our mouth, we have a massive risk to develop an endless count of conditions that ultimately put our lives at risk.
Talking to Dr. Eric Harris has been just an extraordinary experience, because we truly believe that we talked with an extraordinary human being. For about 30 minutes, we went thru the experiences of Bright Island Outreach Foundation, but we also had a in-class session about dental care, and the awareness needed to improve a situation that is quite dramatic in some countries.
This conversation is not "only" about the inspiring work done by the Bright Island Outreach, but as well, a must have lesson to a lot people all over the world that do not understand the impacts of dental issues to our general health.
