    • Episode 200: Pause to Ponder - Kintsugi
      Mar 22 2024

      In this introspective episode of The Counter Narrative Podcast, I delve into the delicate art of Kintsugi, drawing a poignant parallel to the transformative journey of educational organizations. As we explore the beauty in embracing and highlighting our flaws, I invite listeners to reflect on the golden seams within their own spaces. Join me as I weave a narrative not just about mending what's broken but about reimagining and celebrating the imperfections that make our educational tapestry rich and unique. Together, we'll discover how the act of thoughtful repair can illuminate the path to resilience, strength, and a more profound beauty in our collective mission.

    • Episode 199: Interview w/ Sawsan Jaber
      Mar 15 2024

      In this compelling episode, I sit down with renowned educator and passionate speaker, Sawsan Jaber, to delve into a topic that's as sensitive as it is crucial: the impact of the ongoing crisis in Gaza on Palestinian students in America, against the backdrop of school districts' responses to international conflicts. At a time when Illinois, home to one of the highest concentrations of Palestinian students in the country, has seen school letters openly supporting Israel, we explore the discord between the principles of Equity and unbiased education and the realities faced by these students.


      Sawsan Jaber, a voice of reason and empathy, does not shy away from addressing the elephant in the room. She questions the message sent by educational institutions when they appear to support actions that many interpret as profoundly unjust. Through her lens as an educator and as the child of refugees who personally experienced the ravages of conflict in Palestine, Sawsan offers a perspective seldom heard in mainstream media or educational discourse.


      This episode is not just a critique but a journey towards understanding. Sawsan calls out the hypocrisy she observes in political and educational circles, urging for a more inclusive approach to handling sensitive geopolitical issues within the educational sphere. She also outlines pathways for listeners to gain a more nuanced understanding of the situation, advocating for a dialogue that respects the diverse backgrounds of students and their families.


      Join me for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges us to reflect on the role of education in times of conflict and the importance of fostering an environment that truly embodies the ideals of equity and inclusivity.

    • Episode 198: Pause to Ponder - The Black Irish
      Mar 8 2024

      In this thought-provoking "Pause to Ponder" episode of The Counter Narrative Podcast, Charles delves deep into the rich tapestry of Afro-Irish heritage, a journey sparked by his own mixed ancestry and the intriguing question: Is the term "Black Irish" rooted in reality or merely a myth? He embarks on a historical exploration, unraveling the origins and evolutions of this complex identity. From the legendary tales of the Spanish Armada to the vibrant stories of contemporary Afro-Irish figures like Phil Lynott, Paul McGrath, and Ruth Negga, this episode illuminates the contributions that have woven the intricate social and cultural fabric of Ireland today.

      Join me as I celebrate diversity, challenge perceptions, and uncover the nuanced stories of the Afro-Irish community, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of Ireland's diverse identity.
