  • Ep 9: Why don't schools provide anti-bullying programs?

    With schools focused on educating children to ensure they are excelling in their grades, they may tend to miss out on teaching them about bullying, which is important to create a safe learning environment.

    I came to this realization after years of volunteering at schools and then selling my anti-bullying services to schools.

    With the first step in most cases being reporting bullying incidents to the school, children need more in-depth education about bullying because when a child is victimized, parents need the help of educators to make sure bullying is addressed. Parents and school leaders need to ensure that the victim is kept safe and that other children have an understanding of how to treat others.

    In this episode, I address;

    • The importance of in-depth bullying education in schools.
    • Why parents need to speak up more about the need for bullying awareness at schools.
    • How bullying awareness empowers parents and children.

    • Ep 8: Would you know if your child is street racing?

      A number of states in the U.S. have seen a surge in deadly street racing amidst the pandemic and some of the individuals involved are younger drivers.

      Much as they participate in such an act for fun, due to the nature of their driving, accidents are bound to happen and death occurs.

      Such deaths are very unfortunate because with the right measures in place, they would have been managed and this is what led Reina Jackson, a wife, and mother of six children to launch the AJ Project, Inc. in September 2021.

      In May 2021, her firstborn child Ajanni passed away tragically in a car accident in which speed was a factor and Reina decided to use the AJ Project as a solution to this crisis which the U.S. Secretary of Transportation has recently declared a national crisis targeting young adults 13-21.

      The AJ Project also shares the truth about the deadly dangers of Illegal Street Racing & Reckless Driving and also offers bereavement services to mothers & families.

      In this episode, Reina talks about:

      • The signs parents should look out for to determine if their child is involved in street racing.
      • How the pandemic led to a surge in street racing among children.
      • Fines issued for street racers and how they offer minimal regulation.
      • Why and when you should have the conversation about speed racing with your children.
      • Resources to track your child’s driving.
      • The importance of having loving people around you to help get you through bullying experiences and/or trauma.
      • Small acts of activism.
      • The importance of focusing on the cause of kids’ misbehavior and empowering them to choose how to deal with their actions and emotions.

          • Ep 7: How to find the right tutor for my child

            Jessica Bonner is a tutor who works with children and adults. She tutors students in English, reading, math (up to pre-calculus) as well as the following exams: ACT, SAT, GRE, GED, and PRAXIS.

            Further, she provides exam prep coaching for test-takers who often find themselves anxious about preparation and test-taking.

            Understanding this anxiety, she enjoys conducting tutorials and workshops on incorporating interests within the study process. One of these interests includes use of TikTok and Instagram/Facebook Reels.

            Having worked as an English composition adjunct professor, tutor, and speech-language pathologist, she cherishes education and believes it should be available to all who want to receive it. Helping students see skills they probably don't recognize is a major reason she started her tutoring/editing business For Other Prizes Consulting in 2016.

              • Ep 6: Promise Land’s Tonatiuh Shares Lessons Learned From His Bullying Experience
                While some people have grown out to become the superstars that they are today, your favorite celebrity/movie stars did face bullying as kids and those incidents shaped them.
                This was the case for Tonatiuh, with more than a decade of experience on stage, screen, and in the VO booth, Tonatiuh is an actor and screenwriter.
                He is currently a series regular on the ABC drama PROMISED LAND playing the role of Antonio Sandoval - who embodies a bully-victim which is a common reaction by some victims of bullying as a way to survive, and deal with their pain.
                During our discussion, Tonatiuh talks about:
                Bullying within the family.
                Understanding that we have to accept how our actions are received, even when we especially when we hurt someone.
                The large impact that bullying has on society and social issues.
                His forgiveness journey.
                The importance of having loving people around you to help get you through bullying experiences and/or trauma.
                Small acts of activism.
                The importance of focusing on the cause of kids’ misbehavior and empowering them to choose how to deal with their actions and emotions.
                Tonatiuh’s experience with bullying, and the social changes he wants to see have impacted the projects he works on. You can definitely see that in his work now and I invite you to support his work.
                Additional television and streaming credits include a major recurring guest star role on the forthcoming Peacock limited series ANGELYNE as well as a three-season recurring guest star arc in the GLAAD Media Award-winning STARZ series VIDA, where Tonatiuh played the gender-bending "Marcos Zamora", which landed him on the cover of the LA Times Calendar Section in May 2020.
                As always, I ask that you consider supporting our guests. You can support Tonatiuh by watching Season 1 of Promise Land on HULU and stay tuned for ANGELYNE, where he appears on episode 3. ANGELYNE is scheduled to air May 19th, 2022.

              • Ep 5: Are you an impactful parent?

                Have you ever felt so lost in your parenting journey that you just want to reach out to an expert for help?

                I think that every parent has felt that way at one point or another. That’s why today, I’m introducing you to my dear colleague and parenting coach friend, Kristina Campos.

                Kristina lives in Colorado with her four children of school age.  She has been an educator for over 20 years, working with all grade levels, preschool through 12th grade.

                Kristina graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, in 1999, and received her master’s degree from the University of Denver in 2019. After many years of teaching, Kristina saw a need to help children from the source - THE HOME!

                With great enthusiasm, Kristina quit her teaching job and founded her organization “The Impactful Parent”.

                Now, Kristina helps parents of school-aged children by providing parenting tips, resources, and community to those that follow her. You can find her as “The Impactful Parent” on most social media platforms under the handle @theimpactfulparent.

                She also has an Impactful Parent YouTube channel, an Impactful Parent App, and Kristina has a podcast called “Impactful Parenting”. Her passion for children and strong devotion to serving parents is evident in all she does.  Kristina also continues to stay active in the school by substitute teaching whenever her schedule allows.

              • Ep 4: What to know about IEPs

                My guest today is Goz Odediran, attorney, autism mom, author, and the founder of IEP MOMvocate Academy, an online learning community for Moms of school-aged Children with Disabilities.

                Goz is a passionate advocate who empowers Moms with the information they need to advocate for their school-aged children with disabilities.

                One of the many things that she informs parents about is the individualized education program (IEP) which can be a powerful tool to help children and their parents overcome obstacles to allow their child’s full potential to thrive.

                Goz recently published “IEPs at Your Fingertips” for parents to understand what and how to use an IEP and much more.

              • Ep 3: Parenting advice from a teen

                I decided to get a little personal for this episode. So, I invited by younger child, Jess to give some parenting advice. The conversation turned out fun and insightful. If you've had moments when your teen doesn't understand what you want from them, or if they give you a confused look when you tell them to do something, Jess explains what's really going on in their brain. 

                Hopefully you can relate to some of the things we talk about and it is my wish that you not feel alone. Like me, you are evolving, learning every day, and your kids will love you for that!

              • Ep 1:This is me! Nice to meet you.

                In this episode, you will learn a bit about my personal and professional background. You'll learn some details about my childhood as an immigrant kid from Nicaragua, my single mom of six kids, my enlistment into the Army, and how I was able to FINALLY stand up for myself. This wonderful, empowering thing I learned made me a great advocate for my Soldiers, and later, it helped me advocate for my baby. Ever since, I have been teaching other parents to do the same through my business DaliTalks, L.L.C., and my program, the Diversity & Anti-Bullying Academy (#DABA).


                Would you do me a favor? Would you take some time to give this podcast a review? It would help many parents like you get an idea of what to expect from this podcast and they might just find answers to some of their questions.
