What does it take to achieve your personal and professional goals? When is the right time to take calculated risks, and how do you prepare for the moment when opportunity presents itself?

If anyone can show you how to do this, it’s Nicole Lynn. As the first Black female agent to represent a top three NFL draft pick, Nicole worked her way from childhood poverty to become a Wall Street financial analyst, then attorney, and now top agent to elite athletes and entertainers.

In a male-dominated profession, her extraordinary success was earned through a combination of hard work, preparation, self-advocacy, tenacity, and faith.

"In this book, Nicole reveals her incredible journey and how she got where she is today." - Gabrielle Union, from the foreword

Agent You shares Nicole’s key strategies for creating a plan and executing it, even in the face of self-doubt and external obstacles. Each chapter includes exercises to help you implement the strategies presented so you can start working toward your goals today. After listening to Agent You, you’ll learn how to:

Discover and stay focused on your purpose.
Develop your personal brand and advocate for yourself.
Prepare for big opportunities.
Land your dream job.
Manage your workload and still prioritize self-care. 
You define what success looks like; unlock a plan to succeed on your own terms.

What will your legacy be? Regardless of what life’s challenges you face, everyone can own their success story - and Nicole believes you are your best agent.

Now is your time. Time for you to walk in your purpose. Time for you to claim your peace. Time for you to own your success story. Are you ready?

AGENT YOU by Nicole Lynn | Chapter One

Listen to the detailed and absorbing chronicle of Martin Luther King's leadership during the most tumultuous period in America's recent past—featuring a foreword by Dr. Bernice King.
 
Hailed as America’s greatest civil rights advocate, Martin Luther King, Jr., inspired the people of the United States to demand equality, regardless of the color of their skin. And he did it peacefully.

Time may have passed, but in today’s world, his teachings are needed more than ever. Drawing from the actions of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life, each section identifies the key leadership skills he displayed, such as:
 Practice what you preach
Take direct action, without waiting for other agencies to act
Give credit where credit is due
Laws only declare rights, they do not deliver them
And much more...
 With Martin Luther King, Jr.’s wisdom and unwavering dedication to making the opposition listen, you can become a peaceful leader and advocate for the way the world should look, no matter who stands in your way.

MLK on Leadership by Donald T. Phillips Read by Je Nie Fleming - Audiobook Excerpt

DOI: 10.13056/acamh.19121
https://doi.org/10.13056/acamh.19121

In this podcast, we talk to Eila Kankaanpää about her co-authored JCPP paper ‘The long-term cost of childhood conduct problems: Finnish Nationwide 1981 Birth Cohort Study’.

There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.

Discussion points include:
- What the costs associated with conduct problems in childhood include.
- High costs justify the development and evaluation of interventions for childhood conduct problems.
- The implications are for practitioners, and what professionals working with young people and their families should also take from the findings.

The long-term cost of childhood conduct problems

Ukrainians have been victims of Russian imperialism and Soviet aggression. At the same time, they've played a central role in the creation of modern-day Russia. Faith Hillis, a professor of Russian History at the University of Chicago, traces the countries’ shared roots back to the 9th century. Hillis and The World’s Marco Werman discuss why knowing that history can help illuminate a path out of the current crisis.

Russia and Ukraine share a complex, tangled history

For this podcast, we are joined by Dr. Andrés Martin, Dr. Jose Paez, and Dr. Doron Amsalem to discuss their co-authored paper ‘Destigmatizing Perceptions About Black Adolescent Depression, Randomized Control Trial of Brief Social Contact-based Video Interventions’, recently published in the JCPP.

There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.

Discussion points include:
- Why it was important to focus on Black adolescents in relation to depression.
- The types of brief contact-based video interventions that were used in the trial.
- The differences they found in terms of stigmatised attitudes and help seeing intentions between the different groups featured in the study.
- The kind of experiences that were described in the script that the participants watched.
- What a race by intervention interaction entailed in the context of this research.
- The  importance of the exposure and dissemination of people’s lived experiences in terms of stigma.

Identity, which is at the heart of wokeness, is often regarded as the most fundamental thing we have. But clinging too hard to your identity can lead to an emphasis on what makes us different, rather than what we all might have in common. In a conversation at All About Women 2019 with broadcaster Jan Fran, stylist and cultural commentator Ayishat Akanbi considers the radical power of kindness. Together they discuss the limits of identity, the gendered nature of image, and how to transcend the superficial to form meaningful connections. Watch Ayishat and Fran on Youtube&nbsp;

Huerta’s debut album for Voyage is a righteous journey along the coast of California; a psychosomatic blend of melodic rhythm, natural sounds and ambient textures.

Recorded throughout 2019, Huerta combines a blissful wash of west coast inspired ambient with the more affable, rhythmic house cuts he has been previously known for. Drawing on the surrounding landscapes of his upbringing, Huerta’s ode to the Juniper tree is an immersive and introspective experience; a long player capable of taking you to an elevated state of mind.

The vinyl version plays through continuously and will be accompanied by a feature-length animation created by UK artist Danimation.

Composed, arranged and recorded by Steve Huerta at Diesel Studios Berlin, 2019

ABOUT
Reveals how faith traditions have always passed down tools for self-examination and debate, because all religious ideas—not just extremist ones—can cause harm, even as they also embody important moral teachings.

Scripture’s abiding relevance can inspire great goodness, such as welcoming the stranger and extending compassion for the poor. But its authority has also been wielded to defend slavery, marginalize LGBTQ individuals, ignore science, and justify violence. Grounded in close readings of scripture and tradition in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, religious scholar Rachel Mikva shows us that the Abrahamic religions have always been aware of their tremendous power both to harm and to heal. And so they have transmitted their sacred stories along with built-in tools—interpretive traditions—to do the necessary work of taking on dangerous religious ideas and fostering self-critical faith.

By exploring the themes of Scripture, Election, Reward and Punishment, Mikva examines how the interpretive methodologies of these religions have identified and grappled with their perilous power and positive potential. Many readers presume that their understanding of scripture’s meaning is absolute, forgetting how these sacred texts and the history of interpretation have valued multiple perspectives and recognized ongoing rhythms of change. It’s not a modern phenomenon to debate the nature of truth, hold space open for doubt, value humility, and question our capacity to know things—especially about God and God’s will—with certainty. In fact, none of the traditions could remain vital or thrive together without a sustained practice of self-critique. Dangerous Religious Ideas reframes the way we talk about faith to create a space where public discussion of religion is more constructive, nuanced, and socially engaged.
