In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Encore: Raymond Thompson, Jr. And Agape Rugs, Inside Appalachia

för 1 day sedan

—

In the 1930s, hundreds of mostly Black workers died digging the Hawk’s Nest Tunnel. A photographer brings their stories to life. Also, when Jerry Machen began making art from old carpets in Tennessee, his wife Linda wasn’t impressed. And, a new exhibit shares the cultures of Indigenous people who call Appalachia home. You’ll hear these stories and more this week, Inside Appalachia . In This Episode: Remembering and Reimagining The Hawk's Nest Tunnel Disaster Cutting A Rug To Make Art Celebrating Central Appalachia's Indigenous Heritage Remembering And Reimagining The Hawk’s Nest Tunnel Disaster Raymond Thompson, Jr. remembers the African American lives lost in the Hawks Nest Tunnel Disaster. Courtesy Photo The Hawk’s Nest Tunnel in West Virginia is the site of one of the worst industrial disasters in American history. More than 700 men, most of them African American, died of lung disease as a result of mining the tunnel in the 1930s. A new photography book sets out to bring their untold stories to life. It’s called “Appalachian Ghost: A Photographic Reimagining of the Hawk’s Nest Tunnel Disaster,” by artist, educator, and journalist Raymond Thompson Jr. Mason Adams spoke to him about the book and Hawk’s Nest Tunnel. Cutting A Rug To Make Art One man in Kingsport, Tennessee, has been building and repairing carpets and rugs for more than 50 years. For Jerry Machen, Sr., the business not only provides him with a livelihood — but also an opportunity for expression and discovery. Photo Credit: Nicole Musgrave/West Virginia Public Broadcasting Lots of families live with furniture, silverware, and rugs, but we often take them for granted. We seldom think about who makes these items — or where to turn when they need repaired. One man in Kingsport, Tennessee, has been building and repairing carpets and rugs for over 50 years. For Jerry Machen, Sr., [May-chin] the business not only provides him with a livelihood — but also an outlet for expressing creativity. In 2022, Folkways Reporter Nicole Musgrave reported the story.

But Asheville was hit hard by Hurricane Helene. Dozens of its restaurants and bars were drowned in water, mud and debris. Some may never reopen, while others are beginning to find their way back — including Neng, Jr’s, which serves up Filipino cuisine. After several months of hard work, Neng Jr.’s reopened in January.

This week, a Hare Krishna community in West Virginia serves vegetarian food made in three sacred kitchens. Also, an Asheville musician’s latest guitar album is a call to arms. And, we talk soul food with Xavier Oglesby, who is passing on generations of kitchen wisdom to his niece. You’ll hear these stories and more this week, Inside Appalachia .

Photo Credit: Zack Harold/West Virginia Public Broadcasting Our Folkways Reporter Zack Harold recently made a trip to the small town of New Vrindaban, in West Virginia’s Northern Panhandle. It’s a Hare Krishna community started in the late 60s. These days, the town is home to a few hundred permanent residents, but thousands of pilgrims visit each year. They come to worship in the temple — and to visit the opulent Palace of Gold. But those main attractions were a pretty small part of Zack’s trip. He ended up spending much of his time in the kitchen. Tashi Dorji's Album we will be wherever the fires are lit Musician Tashi Dorji. Courtesy Photo Tashi Dorji was born in Bhutan and moved to western North Carolina in 2000. He’s been here ever since. Dorji released a slew of albums over the last 25 years, both as a solo artist and collaborator. His latest is all instrumental.

Sharing Soul Food Xavier Oglesby cuts onions for a macaroni salad he is cooking inside Manna House Ministries’ kitchen. A pot of boiling water is behind him, cooking the pasta for the dish. Photo Credit: Vanessa Peña/West Virginia Public Broadcasting Soul food like cornbread, extra-cheesy mac and cheese and collard greens plays an important role in Black communities across Appalachia.

This week, we visit the Seeing Hand Association. They bring together people who are visually impaired to learn the craft of chair caning. Corporate greed has been gobbling up newspapers for years. Now, some of those same companies are taking a bite out of mobile home parks. They’re raising rents and letting repairs slide. And, as the Mountain Valley Pipeline nears completion, people who live near it say government officials are ignoring their concerns about pollution.

Maybe your parents or grandparents had a set in the kitchen, but you don’t see the old caned chairs as much as you used to. Cane breaks down and needs to be replaced. Few people know where to go to fix their chairs. So, a lot of them are discarded or thrown away. But they don’t have to be. At a workshop in Wheeling, WV, a community of skilled workers repair old chairs and show that not everything that looks broken has to be thrown out.

Folksingers And Hellbenders, Inside Appalachia

för 7 weeks sedan

This week, a talented, young folk singer looks for the balance between making music and making a living. Also, after six generations, keeping the family farm going can be rough. We hear the story of the Wakefield family in Pennsylvania, which has farmed for six generations. And the Hellbender Salamander is the largest amphibian in North America, but they’re picky about where they live, and their habitats are threatened. In This Episode : Meeting An Appalachian Folksinger The Wakefields, A Documentary To Save The Hellbender Meeting An Appalachian Folksinger Young folksinger Elsa Howell is considering her path forward in music. Mason Adams/West Virginia Public Broadcasting Folk music is not the easiest way to make a living, but artists still find a way to balance making music with putting food on the table.

Encore: What Is Appalachia? We Asked People From Around The Region. Here’s What They Said

för 8 weeks sedan

—

This week, we’re revisiting our episode “What Is Appalachia?” from December 2021. Appalachia connects mountainous parts of the South, the Midwest, the Rust belt and even the Northeast. The Appalachian Regional Commission defined the boundaries for Appalachia in 1965 with the creation of the Appalachian Regional Commission, a part of Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty. It was legislation that sought to expand social welfare, and some localities were eager for the money, while others resisted the designation. The boundaries and definition of Appalachia can now only be changed by an act of Congress. Politically, Appalachia encompasses 423 counties across 13 states — and West Virginia’s the only state entirely inside the region. That leaves so much room for geographic and cultural variation, as well as many different views on what Appalachia really is. For Inside Appalachia , we turned our entire episode over to the question, “What is Appalachia?” With stories from Mississippi to Pittsburgh, we asked people across our region whether they consider themselves to be Appalachian. A 1996 map that shows the southern part of Appalachia, as defined by John Alexander Williams. Mississippi Bob Owens — locally known as ‘Pop Owens,' stands in front of his watermelon stand outside New Houlka, Mississippi. Pop says he was aware that Mississippi is part of Appalachia, but that no one in the state would consider themselves Appalachian. Credit: Caitlin Tan/West Virginia Public Broadcasting Bob Owens is a watermelon farmer outside New Houlka, in the northeastern part of Mississippi. Owens said he was aware that Mississippi is part of Appalachia, but that no one in the state would consider themselves Appalachian. “I consider myself the worst redneck you’ve ever seen,” Owens said. “I live in the area of the Appalachian mountain range — not part of it, but close to it. So I guess you call me a redneck Appalachian.” This is the general consensus among the people in Mississippi we spoke to. Geographically, the foothills of the Appalachian mountain range are located in northern Mississippi. The state’s tallest point is Woodall Mountain, 806 feet in elevation. For reference, the highest point in North Carolina, Mount Mitchell, is more than 6,600 feet in elevation, eight times higher than Woodall Mountain. Co-host Caitlin Tan spoke with Texas State University History professor Justin Randolph, who wrote an essay for “Southern Cultures” called “The Making of Appalachian Mississippi.” Randolph argues in his essay that Mississippi became part of Appalachia for political and racial reasons, as well as economic advantages the designation brought to the 24 counties in Mississippi that were included in the ARC’s boundaries. Shenandoah Valley In the 1960s, while some localities were clamoring to get into Appalachia, on the eastern edge of the region, some lawmakers fought to keep their counties outside the boundaries, including politicians in Roanoke, Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley. Appalachian Studies associate professor Emily Satterwhite said explaining to her students why some counties in Virginia are included in Appalachia, but others aren’t, is confusing. “ The students in front of me are wondering why they're not included,” White said. Pittsburgh The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania skyline. Courtesy Appalachia’s largest city is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When we asked people from that city to tell us if they consider it a part of Appalachia, about half said no. “I definitely do not feel that I am Appalachian culturally,” said Mark Jovanovich, who grew up just outside Pittsburgh’s city limits in the Woodland Hills area. “Personally, I would consider the city of Pittsburgh is sort of like a mini New York City. I guess we'd probably be lumped in as like a Rust Belt city, which makes enough sense, but definitely not Appalachian culturally.” Writer Brian O’Neill disagrees. He wrote a book called The Paris of Appalachia: Pittsburgh in the Twenty-First Century . “My original title for the book was ‘I love Pittsburgh like a brother and my brother drives me nuts.’” An editor advised him to change the title of his book to a phrase that he said is sometimes used to refer to Pittsburgh derisively. “I couldn't figure out why that should be a putdown, because Paris is nice. And Appalachia is a beautiful part of the world. And if we were called the Paris of the Rockies, we wouldn't run from that. So why would we run from this? Why don't we embrace it? So that became the title of my book.” He said that geographically, Pittsburgh is clearly in the Appalachian Mountains. “I mean, this is one mountain range that stretches from Georgia to Maine.

Looking Back At 2024, Inside Appalachia

för 9 weeks sedan

—

This week, a look back at some of the stories that shaped the show in 2024, like the story of an abandoned Fairmont Brine site in Marion County, West Virginia. It was a common hangout spot, but there’s a hidden danger. Also, food deserts are places where it’s hard to find nutritious food. Like disenfranchised neighborhoods in East Knoxville, Tennessee. And, not all bamboo is invasive. In fact, there’s a species native to Appalachia. You'll hear these stories and more this week, Inside Appalachia . In This Episode: Radioactivity At Fairmont Brine Healing Damaged Communities Through Food Appalachian Bamboo Bouncing Back Radioactivity At Fairmont Brine Fairmont Brine processed liquid used in hydraulic fracking. Now abandoned, the site became a local hang out, but it's dangerous. Photo Credit: Justin Nobel Starting in the late 2000s, fracking brought a natural gas boom to parts of Appalachia. But, the natural gas market has been erratic. And in some places, the oil and gas industry has left behind dangerous, radioactive sites. Justin Nobel is an investigative reporter who’s covered that issue. In the fall of 2023, he wrote about it for Truthdig in a story titled “ Inside West Virginia’s Chernobyl: A highly radioactive oil and gas facility has become a party spot in Marion County .” Mason Adams spoke with Nobel. Healing Damaged Communities Through Food This collective kitchen is where Femeika Elliott first prepared meal kits to sell at the Knoxville Farmers Market. Photo Credit: Wendy Welch/West Virginia Public Broadcasting Through the 20th century, lots of poor and largely Black neighborhoods were bulldozed and replaced with new highways and civic centers. Now some groups are looking at creative ways to repair those communities. In April, we featured a story about a neighborhood in Knoxville, Tennessee. And a woman there who uses food as a way to heal generations of damage. Folkways Reporter Wendy Welch had the story. Appalachian Bamboo Bouncing Back Volunteers in southwestern Virginia are trying to revitalize river cane. Photo Credit: Roxy Todd/Radio IQ There are a lot of different kinds of bamboo – more than 1,400 varieties. America has a native species of bamboo, but was nearly wiped out. Last summer, Radio IQ’s Roxy Todd reported that a group of mostly volunteers is trying to restore the plant in southwestern Virginia. ------ Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.

Appalachian Memes And Trouble At Greenbank

för 11 weeks sedan

This week, the online world of Appalachian memes — and what they tell us about folks who live here. Also, parts of West Virginia have been radio silent since the 1950s for scientists to monitor the skies. So, what does that mean for first responders in an emergency? And winter holidays are here. We’ve got some tips to keep the festivities from going up in smoke. You'll hear these stories and more this week, Inside Appalachia . In This Episode: Memes Carry On Appalachian Humor Radio Quiet Zone Presents Trouble For Emergency Responders Remembering Poet Nikki Giovanni Avoiding Holiday Fire Hazards Appalachian Memes Mine The Laughs Andi Marie Tillman as “Papaw” showing off some of Little Bubby Child’s merch; a shirt that says, “Meemaw Tried.” Photo courtesy of Little Bubby Child Humor runs deep here in Appalachia. Folkways Reporter Madeline Miller brought us a story about two artists who’ve taken holler humor to the digital realm. Andi Marie Tillman depicts her character Papaw on FaceTime. Photo courtesy Andi Marie Tillman Radio Quiet Zone Presents Trouble For Emergency Responders Since the 1950s, the federal government has designated parts of two West Virginia counties as a National Radio Quiet Zone. Because of research, television, radio and cell signals near the area are restricted. Ten Virginia and West Virginia counties are asking the government to change that for emergency responders. Radio IQ's Roxy Todd has this story. Remembering Poet Nikki Giovanni Poet Nikki Giovanni in 2015 at Shepherd University. Photo Credit: Shepherd University Distinguished poet, educator and long-time Virginia resident Nikki Giovanni died Nov. 9, 2024 at the age of 81. She was one of the most well-known and acclaimed poets in America and a voice for African Americans and Appalachians. We revisit Roxy Todd’s 2022 interview with Giovanni.

The Sistersville Ferry And Keeping Listeners Connected, Inside Appalachia

för 12 weeks sedan

Crossing a river by ferry can be a special experience, and hard to come by. On the Ohio River, a retiring ferry captain passes the torch to his deck hand. And Hurricane Helene destroyed roads and knocked out power and cell service across western North Carolina. But there was still a way to keep people in touch. You'll hear these stories and more this week, Inside Appalachia . In This Episode: Raising Up A New Riverboat Captain Blue Ridge Public Broadcasting Crucial During Flood Loose Cattle And Tammy Fay With Michael Cerveris Columbus Washboard Company Produces Instruments Aimed To Meet Musicians’ Needs Raising Up A New Riverboat Captain The Sistersville Ferry has been serving its Ohio River for over 200 years. Photo Credit: Zack Harold/West Virginia Public Broadcasting The town of Sistersville, West Virginia is home to the last ferry crossing in the Mountain State. The Sistersville Ferry has been serving this tiny Tyler County community for more than 200 years, and when it reopens next spring, there will be a new pilot at the helm. Reporter Zack Harold stopped by to witness the last ride of Captain Bo Hause. Blue Ridge Public Broadcasting Crucial During Flood Flooding caused by Hurricane Helene has devastated communities across western North Carolina and east Tennessee. Courtesy Photo If you’re in an area that’s struck by a disaster, how do you get information? Especially if power and cell service has been knocked out? You might have to use an old-fashioned technology — the radio. Portable radios work on batteries, and don’t depend on the internet or cell reception. When Hurricane Helene struck western North Carolina, our partner station, Blue Ridge Public Radio, became a crucial source of information. A few weeks after the storm, Mason Adams spoke with BPR’s News Director, Laura Lee. Loose Cattle And Tammy Fay With Michael Cerveris Tony Award winning actor Michael Cerveris (center, in blue) stays busy.

Most recently, he was on stage in the musical “Tammy Fay,” which just left Broadway, but he’s better known for his starring roles in Sweeney Todd and the Broadway adaptation of The Who’s Tommy . He’s currently on HBO’s The Guilded Age , but his Americana band Loose Cattle has a new album. Back in October, Producer Bill Lynch spoke to Cerveris. ------ Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.

Encore: Celebrating Foxfire, Inside Appalachia

för 13 weeks sedan

—

Since 1967, Foxfire has been a storehouse of traditional Appalachian knowledge that still helps people today. It continues to preserve music and history, but part of Foxfire’s heritage has been recording the stories of Appalachian women. This week, Inside Appalachia explores Foxfire — its past, present and future. In This Episode: What Is Foxfire? The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Women Oral History Tradition Continues Today What Is Foxfire? The Foxfire office in Rabun County, Georgia. Photo Credit: Lilly Knoepp Foxfire began in 1967 as a student-run magazine in North Georgia. It was a way for high school students to collect and share the wisdom and lore from their community members. They named it “Foxfire” after a fungus in the region that glows in the dark . Over 50 years, it’s grown into a book series, a magazine, a museum and an oral history archive. One of those oral histories is from 1975 and captures the kind of knowledge that Foxfire collected. An Appalachian Woman’s Place Often Went Beyond The Home Appalachian storyteller Elizabeth Ellis is featured in the Foxfire project with Blue Ridge Public Radio. Photo Credit: Lilly Knoepp A lot of the women in older archival Foxfire interviews said that they “didn’t work” but so many Appalachian women were midwives, mothers and business owners. Foxfire’s latest collection features 21 women in the book called, The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Women , edited by then Foxfire education director and museum curator Kami Ahrens. Mason Adams has more. Oral History Tradition Continues Today In 2020, Blue Ridge Public Radio partnered with Ahrens to record oral histories and aired them on the radio. BPR’s Lilly Knoepp shared a few. ------ Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.

A Chef Shares W.Va. Memories And Visiting A Cat Cafe, Inside Appalachia

för 14 weeks sedan

—

The chef of an award-winning Asheville restaurant says he was shaped by memories of growing up in West Virginia. The Seeing Hand Association brings together people who are visually impaired to learn the craft of chair caning. And a West Virginia community grapples with its population of feral cats. You'll hear these stories and more this week, Inside Appalachia . In This Episode: Appalachian Memories Inspire Chef Mending With Seeing Hands A Cozy Cafe For Cats Appalachian Memories Inspire Chef Chef William Dissen at his home in Asheville, North Carolina. Photo Credit: Johnny Autry Chef William Dissen’s memories are seasoned with the flavors of West Virginia's mountains. He’s now taking some of those memories and turning them into award-winning cuisine at his James Beard Award-nominated restaurant, The Market Place, in Asheville. Folkways Reporter Margaret McLeod Leef spoke with Dissen while he was in Charleston with his debut cookbook, Thoughtful Cooking . Mending With Seeing Hands Jeannine Schmitt weaves a new seat onto an old hand caned chair. Photo Credit: Clara Haizlett/West Virginia Public Broadcasting A lot of folks in Appalachia grew up with caned chairs in the house, but you don’t see them as much as you used to. Cane breaks down over time and needs to be replaced. Few people know how to do that. At a workshop in Wheeling, West Virginia, a community of skilled workers repair old chairs - and show that not everything that looks broken has to be thrown out. Folkways Reporter Clara Haizlett brings us the story. Clara also produced a short video about the people at Seeing Hand. That video, and a few others, will appear on West Virginia Public Broadcasting as part of an Inside Appalachia television special. The episode premiers at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving on WVPB and will be available to watch online starting Nov. 25. A Cozy Cafe For Cats Many cats at Give Purrs A Chance come from overrun shelters and animal rescues in southern West Virginia. Photo Credit: Jack Walker/West Virginia Public Broadcasting West Virginia is home to more than 100,000 stray cats. Most aren’t spayed or neutered, which only increases the problem of overpopulation. Pet advocates say subsidies for the procedure and pop-up clinics can help, but as WVPB’s Jack Walker reports, so can creative efforts to find cats a home. ----- Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.
