  • Addressing Mental Health Across Cultures With The Creator of Brown Girl Therapy

    Addressing Mental Health Across Cultures With The Creator of Brown Girl Therapy
    2024/05/30
    For children of immigrants who are straddling two worlds, mental health can be a unique struggle.

    According to a 2020 study, children of immigrants had nearly double the rate of psychological distress than their immigrant parents. And this population is only growing, with one in four children in the U.S. currently being a child of immigrants, according to a survey by KFF and the LA Times.

    Therapy is bound by many Western ideas and rooted in whiteness. How to deal with the expectations, guilt, and dialogues of the bicultural experience can be a difficult road. That's where Sahaj Kaur Kohli comes in. She's the creator of Brown Girl Therapy, an online mental health space for children of immigrants and those in BIPOC communities.

    She's also the author of the new book, "But What Will People Say? Navigating Mental Health, Identity, Love, and Family Between Cultures." In it, she writes about her own experiences while giving guidance and tools to others navigating their bicultural identity.

  • Looking Back On 20 Years Of Same-Sex Marriage

    Looking Back On 20 Years Of Same-Sex Marriage
    2024/05/29
    In 2004 Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage after the state's Supreme Court found that their Constitution could no longer exclude same-sex couples from civil marriage rights.

    That watershed decision from Goodridge vs. Department of Health paved the way for LGBTQ+ rights across the country, which eventually saw same-sex marriage federally legalized in 2015. Since then, more than 700,000 same-sex couples have married across the country.

    But what prompted the fight for same-sex marriage in the first place? And where does the fight for equal rights under the law stand today?

  • The Political Power Of Theater

    The Political Power Of Theater
    2024/05/28
    Between 1935 and 1939, thirty million Americans had the chance to see a play thanks to Federal Theater Project. Nearly a century later, the theater's place in American life is shrinking.

    Today, we look back on this one-of-kind federal project that believed in the power of theater, and we look forward to the role theater might play in upholding democracy even as the arts in America are being undermined.

  • The Realities And Ethics Of Pig Organ Transplants In Humans

    The Realities And Ethics Of Pig Organ Transplants In Humans
    2024/05/23
    With CRISPR technology, scientists can edit pig genes to be more compatible with a human body, or at least that's the hope.

    But a future of endless kidneys bred from pigs is still far away. The experimental surgeries that allowed for a pig kidney transplant were covered under the FDA's compassionate use care and clinical studies have yet to be conducted.

    What is the state of kidney transplantation? And what might the future look like?

    The 1A Movie Club Sees 'Back To Black' And Talks Biopics
    2024/05/22
    Has someone ever asked you what "your story" is? For some, that question is a nightmare. Where do you begin? What parts are important? And are the parts you think are important, actually that crucial?

    Are you telling it the right way?

    One Hollywood art form bravely tries to do that, but about other well-known figures. That's the biopic. For this edition of the 1A Movie Club, we talk about the latest, "Back to Black." The movie tries its best to illustrate the story of Amy Winehouse.

    We discuss how well the biopic succeeds at telling the Winehouse's story.
