Janice had an intense discussion with Carylee Carrington about Black children's books and their authors. Note: Not all Black children's books are by Black authors, so do your research.

Carylee is a children's book author, arts and literacy advocate, and host of The Read with Carylee Show. She is a proud black mom of two boys living in Nothern Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., on a mission to introduce children to diverse children's book authors and help children develop kindness and courage. It all started when her son came home upset after hearing a racist remark on the school playground in Kindergarten. Since then, she has written two books ("Everyone, Just Like Me" and "Pretty Hair") teaching children to embrace their differences and treat others with kindness. In the fall she began hosting a new literary show "The Read with Carylee Show" (available on SoulVisionTV, YouTube & Facebook) that features indie and up-and-coming children's book authors, the majority who are black, but also from a wide variety of races and backgrounds.

BACKTALK: Pregnancy & Loss Nov 25, 2019

It's not talked about enough but there are times when a mom might lose her pregnancy, whether in utero or a stillbirth. Research has shown that African American women experience all types of pregnancy loss more often than white women. This includes miscarriage as well as stillbirth, preterm birth, and infant death. The reasons why have baffled scientists for decades.

When a mother loses her baby, everyone around her grieves but often doesn't know what to say creating a space where the mother can feel alone. These moms need support and support is available. Sadija A. Smiley, is the Founder and CEO of Stillborn and Infant Loss Support (SAILS), dedicated to raising awareness and creating a supportive environment for families who have experienced a stillbirth, pregnancy or infant loss. SAILS was created to honor the life of her daughter, Ivyanna Salene, who was born sleeping on November 13, 2003. Sadija has spent the last 18 years serving in non-profit organizations to improve the quality of life outcomes for under-served, minority, and low-income communities. She will help moms who have babies born sleeping cope and help others know how to support them.

BACKTALK: Does Your Child Suffer From Eczema - Listen To This! Oct 21, 2019

BACKTALK: Does Your Child Suffer From Eczema - Listen To This!

It's National Eczema Awareness Month and Janice interviewed the Dixon Family whose son Isaiah, has chronic atopic dermatitis, another name for eczema. Isaiah and his family were part of a new video series that highlights the challenges of severe eczema and offers advice for teen sufferers, called The Understand AD Squad, which tackles the everyday physical and emotional challenges faced by teens living with atopic dermatitis (AD) and their caregivers. You can check out the full series here.

The Dixon family teamed up with a dermatologist, psychotherapist, and an adult patient peer to help raise awareness and inspire kindness and empathy for teens battling atopic dermatitis alongside usable tools for other families who are managing the disease.

Throughout his life, Isaiah’s symptoms have caused frequent hospitalizations, school absences and emotional stress for him and his loved ones – even forcing him to miss out on team sports and playing outside with other kids, as sweat could trigger a skin flare-up that would make being active difficult and even painful.

There are 400,000 adolescents in the United States living with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe AD. Despite the disease prevalence, there remains a great amount of stigma and lack of knowledge around the disease. Teens living with a chronic illness like moderate-to-severe AD face unique challenges as they have to manage their disease on top of both the academic and social pressures.

According to one study,

· 39% reporter being bullied or teased about their AD at some time in their life

· 52% were depressed

· 50% were concerned about being seen in public

· 36% reported decreased self-confidence

How does the Browning of American affect Black Families? During the past two years, there seems to be an effort to reduce Black and brown bodies and to increase the white birth rate. Pay attention to how this affects Black families from mortality rates to being treated harsher in schools, to restrictions on birth control for moms, abortion bans, the immigration exodus of brown bodies, and more.

The Trump Bullying Effect On Our Children Jan 20, 2019

There is a nationwide phenomenon of bullying that is taking place and it's been labeled as part of The Trump Effect. A Virginia study found increased bullying in areas that voted for Trump. That coupled with statistics that Black children are punished harsher than their white peers often leaves Black children blamed for being bullied. Is the answer to segregate? Afrocentric schools build the self-esteem of Black children and keep them out of the school-to-prison pipeline. Black youth suicide rates are also elevated, many site bullying as the reason. The number of Black homeschool students has largely increased. What is the answer and how do we protect our children. Janice spoke to one parent about how she is dealing with this very same scenario at her child's school.
