Canadian two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Donovan Bailey who was once hailed as the fastest man in the world said, in an interview with CTV news in 2020: "in Canada, it's racism with a smile" alluding to how racial inequity is masked by Canada's reputation of being the nicest people in the world.
In Episode 170, Ben sits down with behavior analyst Danni Reid, his guest from the first episode of the Behaviour Speak Podcast who in 2020 shared her experience of being the only Black behavior analyst in British Columbia. Danni is joined by two other Black behavior analysts, Juliet Musonge and Michelle Upshaw who also thought they were the only Black behavior analysts in BC. Danni, Juliet, and Mish reflect on their experiences with racial inequality in Canada and how things have changed (and haven't changed) over the past four years.
Editors Note: Michelle Upshaw's vocal track has a crackling sound for about 8 minutes at around the 25 minute mark that I was unable to isolate but please listen to what she has to say and enjoy the conversation

In Episode 169, Ben chats with Catarina Rivera, founder of Blindish Latina, a platform smashing disability stigmas through storytelling and advocacy. As a Latiné woman who has lived with disability all her life, she brings a deep understanding of intersectionality to conversations surrounding disability. She wore hearing aids from a young age but did not know why she was hard of hearing. At 17, she was diagnosed with Usher Syndrome which includes a progressive vision disability due to retinitis pigmentosa as well as a hearing disability. She has a BA from Duke University, an MSEd from Bank Street College of Education, and an MPH from Hunter College. Catarina is a Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (IAAP).

In Episode 168, Ben chats with Dr. Trina Spencer, the first female Director of the Juniper Garden's Children Centre, a part of the KU Life Span Institute, originally founded in the mid-1960s when citizens of Northeast Kansas City, Kansas joined with faculty from the University of Kansas to address concerns about the development and education of children in their low-income, inner-city community. Since its inception, Juniper Gardens has developed and validated meaningful solutions to major community concerns identified by those directly affected - the community residents themselves. The center also provides opportunities for KU faculty and students to learn from the wisdom and life experiences of families from diverse backgrounds.
In this conversation, Dr. Spencer bares her soul as she shares her journey of living a sheltered life in a conservative religious family, eventually raising a wonderful transgendered child, finding herself in Africa, and the many life lessons she had along the way.
