Description: Ashley Biden is an American social worker, activist, philanthropist, and fashion designer. She's also the daughter of our current U.S. President.

The 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution – which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except for persons “duly convicted” of a crime – was a compromise that was made with the Confederacy in 1865. As a result, those incarcerated in many states across the country are still subject to involuntary servitude. As mass incarceration disproportionately criminalizes Black people, slavery still persists in the United States and targets the descendants of its original victims. There is a growing movement of people and organizations dedicated to ending this exception. This project intersects with a powerful window of opportunity to engage people in learning about the 13th Amendment and adding their voices to calls for change.

In this episode we'll explore two challenges to success: first, understanding how imposter syndrome can keep us less motivated. And secondly, some systemic challenges that make it tough for returning citizens to enter and elevate themselves in the workplace. Co-hosts Tamara Russell (also known as Proof of Consciousness, P.O.C.) and Greg Corbin P.O.C. are joined by guest Cherri Gregg, the afternoon Host/Anchor for WHYY, the Philadelphia based NPR station.

Imposter Syndrome

This conversation will focus on two big tools for investing in the next generation: schools and public spaces (like parks and rec centers). Both of these offer kids the space to grow and learn, and in these interviews we aim to understand how our leaders can push for more funding and support. Co-hosts Tamara Russell (also known as Proof of Consciousness, P.O.C.) and Conrad Benner are joined by City Councilmember Jamie Gauthier and now former City Councilmember Helen Gym.

Supporting the Next Generation

In this conversation we'll look at some ways we might better create space for mental health both crucial, like having mental health classes in public education, as well as the personal, talking about free and scaled resources for Philadelphians to use to access mental health services and signs they should look out for in their behavior that might indicate the need for a mental health check-in. Co-hosts Tamara Russell (also known as Proof of Consciousness, P.O.C.) and Greg Corbin are joined by Sudan Green, Founder of Spirits Up, an alternative and holistic health service focused on the Black community.
