🔊 This weekend on The @facingproject: “Facing Adversity & Resilience in Sports” —
🎙️ I sit down with Dr. @ajkuban, editor of the forthcoming (11/3) anthology Facing Adversity & Resilience in Sports, to explore the book’s collection of first-person stories from athletes, coaches, and sports-media professionals whose lives have been shaped by challenges and transformative experiences within the world of sports. We’ll be joined by Ryan Sierocki, a contributor to the book and assistant athletic director at Kentucky Wesleyan College.
📚 Then, I’ll share three stories from the project (with story performances by @calebrobbins47; @amandathearies; and @jvech3ta) that cover disability, mental health, and body image in sports.
⚽️ And later, I welcome Dr. @kelcey.parker.ervick, author of The Keeper: Soccer, Me, and the Law That Changed Women’s Lives, for a conversation about her graphic memoir and its exploration of soccer, gender, and social change.

🔊 This weekend on The Facing Project Radio Show: “Facing Relationship-Based Violence: A Rural Kansas Initiative” —
🎙️ I’ll be joined by Drs. Ziwei Qi and Lori E. Kniffin who are the editors of Facing Relationship-Based Violence, a collection of nineteen first-person stories from people in rural Kansas whose lives have been impacted by the harm that happens when relationships are shaped by fear and control instead of love and trust.
📚 Then, I’ll share four stories from the project (with story performances by @reb_cornell; @heather_troupe; @_syd_maurer_ ; and Tracena Marie) that cover the spectrum of survivors, their relatives, and front-line professionals.
💪 And later, I’ll be joined by psychologist and author Dr. Sherry Hamby whose new book, Stronger Than You Think: Building Lifelong Resilience, explores evidence-based strategies and resources that can help us flourish despite life’s hardest moments.

🔊 Big and exciting news for The Facing Project Radio Show —
🥇 We are a finalist for the Indiana Broadcasters Association Spectrum Award for Non-Commercial Radio Program of the Year!
And within days of finding out, we also learned that . . .
🎧 The Seattle-area NPR affiliate KBCS has picked up our show!
💛 Many thanks to our loyal listeners, and a big THANK YOU to our small but mighty production team at Indiana Public Radio. Sean Ashcraft has been our audio engineer and producer for eight years, and Angie Crow Grimes has been our biggest advocate and champion through it all. They both took a huge risk back in 2018 when they offered two guys, with no radio background, a radio show! 😆 But @kelseytimmerman and I were eager learners, and look where we’ve gotten as a team. 💛

🔊 This weekend on The Facing Project: “Cleanup on Aisle Five: Essential Work, Poverty Wages, and the View from Behind the Supermarket Register with author @annlarsonslc (Ann Larson)” —
🛒 For many of us, a trip to the grocery store is just another errand. We fill our carts, stand in line, and maybe exchange a few words with the cashier. Then, we head home and move on with our lives.
👂 But what if we slowed down long enough to see the people on the other side of the register? What stories would we discover? What assumptions might we leave behind?
📚 Based on her own experiences of working in a grocery store, Ann opens the box and lets us see inside through storytelling where she invites us into the world of essential workers—people whose labor keeps our communities running, but whose lives are too often invisible and dispensable.
🎤 Ann and host J.R. Jamison will explore work dignity, wage disparity, and what it means to really see one another when consumerism itself is a veil that often divides workers from shoppers.
🎧 Join us! Today at 1 p.m. EST, or Sunday at 7 p.m. EST, on Indiana Public Radio and the @npr network—or anytime wherever you get your favorite podcasts, just search for The Facing Project!

As we welcome our new board, we're diving deep into our archives and having them share stories that are meaningful to them. Today, we're sharing one of Rob Williford's stories. Rob is an educator, storyteller, and entrepreneur from Flint, Michigan. He currently serves as the Associate Dean of Students at Butler University, is a Co-Founder of Brave the Cycle, and is a PhD student in Global Leadership at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Rob chose to highlight an entire project, Facing College: Immigrant and International Stories from Mott Community College in Flint, Michigan. Rob said, "My favorite stories are admittedly personal. The first involved both my hometown of Flint, Michigan as well as a higher education context. But it also gave me an opportunity to learn about the international student experience, and during the beginning of Trump’s first term, it became incredibly relevant to everyday life as an educator. Reading these people’s stories helped me challenge assumptions, follow curiosities about my own socializations, and encouraged me to think about the world with a greater sense of connectedness. All in my hometown, the global became local, and local, global." Check out the link in our bio!

As we welcome our new board, we're diving deep into our archives and having them share stories that are meaningful to them. Today, we're sharing one of Kathy Rowell's stories. Dr. Rowell is a sociologist, professor, and past board chair of the International Peace Museum. Kathy chose to highlight an entire project, Facing Gun Violence in Dayton, Ohio. Kathy said, "I continue to be grateful for this collection of stories from my community. Unfortunately, I personally knew two people who died in the tragic mass shooting in the Oregon District, and I also live in the neighborhood. I know this collection of stories enabled some community healing and also community action. Many of the voices in this collection continue to be activists in our community. I think about these stories and continue to hope we listen to gun violence survivors." Check out the link in our bio!

As we welcome our new board, we're diving deep into our archives and having them share stories that are meaningful to them. Today, we're sharing one of Sarah Connolly's stories. Sarah is an NYC-based theater director focused on new play development. She was also an intern for The Facing Project in 2018! Sarah chose "The American Dream" that was a part of Facing Immigration at Illinois College. She says, "I love this story because of the theatricality of the structure of the piece and the ways in which it weaved many different narratives together to showcase different interpretations of what the American Dream means."

As we welcome our new board, we’re diving deep into our archives and having them share stories that are meaningful to them. Today, we're sharing one of Matt Cox's stories. Matt is a community outreach consultant for IU Ball Health, Blackford and Jay Hospitals and has served on the editorial board of The Star Press, Teamwork for Quality Living/FORWARD Steps, and Westridge Neighborhood Association. Matt chose Rashid Shabazz's story "I Was Mad, Real Mad" as told to River Lin. He says, "I didn't know Rashid Shabazz, Sr./Bill Dinwiddie, though I attended school with a couple of his sons. If he was feeling this way in Muncie during an era when Bearcat ballplayers were like New York Yankees in this town, then what does it say about those who didn't have basketball celebrity or great athletic ability to help them along? I imagine they felt marginalized or less-than quite often." Check out the story at the link in our bio!

Robbie chose Trey Moses's story "Accepting Your Mental Health" as told to Thomas "TC" Deckard.
