Show Notes

This episode takes place against the backdrop of Young Minds Matter 2019, a one-day conference held by the Hogg Foundation in Houston, Texas on Oct. 23, 2019. The theme for the event was “Community Connections for Well-being.” We unpack what that phrase means with the help of three powerful, unique voices from the event: Marlon Lizama, a Houston spoken word artist and co-founder of the Iconoclast Artists program that empowers youth through the arts; Dr. Howard Pinderhughes, chair of the Department of Social and Behavioral Science at University of California San Francisco; and Dr. Nia West-Bey, a senior policy analyst with the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP). Weaving together strands that include themes of historical and cultural trauma, personal narrative, poetry and social science, these conversations converge on the central question: What does it truly mean to care about young minds?
