The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandA Mighty Writer from Kensington: Brooke FultonWe end the second season of the award-winning Mighty Writers podcast in my personal comfort zone, as I sit down with a former student,16-year-old Brooke Fulton.Brooke talks to me about her childhood in one of the most distressed neighborhoods in Philadelphia — a section of the city where drugs are sold and used openly, a place that continues to be afflicted by all of the devastating effects of the opioid crisis, especially homelessness and violence. Brooke was born in Brooklyn, but her family moved to Kensington when she was 4 years old. She lives wit...2024-06-0626 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandIdentity and Authorship with Candice IlohAt Mighty Writers, our days revolve around helping young people find their voices, which is why we’re especially excited when we connect with authors who speak to the issues that matter to them. In this episode, I talk to Candice Iloh, an award-winning author of young adult novels including “Every Body Looking,” “Break This House” and their newest release, “Salt the Water.” Candice is a first generation Nigerian-American who grew up in the Midwest before coming to the East Coast. They attended Howard University and later taught creative writing to students of all ages in New York City public sc...2024-04-1834 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandThe Power of Fun with Dave Raymond, aka the Original Phillie PhanaticIn Philadelphia, one figure who needs absolutely no introduction is the Phillie Phanatic, the team mascot who is as iconic in these parts as Dr. J, Ben Franklin, or Rocky Balboa.Beyond being a key fixture of Phillies' home games, the Phanatic shows up at playgrounds, schools, hospitals and all kinds of special events with one purpose: to bring happiness — especially to kids.In this episode, I speak with Dave Raymond, the man who first brought the Phanatic to life in 1978. Dave spent 16 years in the green suit, entertaining thousands along the way.2024-03-2843 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandTalking About Grief With Counselor Samantha AnthonyPhiladelphia is awash in grieving children and families. But it’s not all bad news, because where there are serious problems, there are humans at work on serious solutions. In my years as a classroom teacher, I saw many organizations try to help students with problems like grief. Rarely did I see an immediate impact — that is, until I observed the work of Uplift, formerly known as The Center for Grieving Children. Uplift’s therapists go into schools (and other places where kids gather) and convene groups of young people who have lost someone signif...2024-03-0742 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandComing of Age in the City of Brotherly Love with Semaj H.I’ve been obsessed with coming-of-age stories since I first read “A Catcher in the Rye” when I was in seventh grade. That obsession is probably what made me feel entirely at home when I became a ninth grade English teacher. There is very little that moves me more than hearing people grapple in language with themselves and society during that short but profound moment that occurs somewhere between the ages of 13 and 16. In the thousands of pieces of writing I had access to as a ninth grade English teacher in Philadelphia, certain themes emerged over and ove...2024-02-1531 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandAmerican Dreaming with Yakquelin GarduñoI often say that my favorite thing about being a classroom writing teacher was my access to stories. It was enriching to me as a teacher and as a human being to learn about my students' lives through their stories. And I learned a lot about issues in society by hearing the same kind of stories over and over again. One issue that came through to me via my students’ stories is the challenge people face when their citizenship — or the citizenship of their loved ones — was unsettled. I became aware of how anxiety-provoking it is t...2024-02-0131 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandResisting and Resting with Liz WesleyMy close friend and colleague Liz Wesley knows what it’s like to fight for fairness in a profoundly unfair world. She battled her way through the education system as a child only to find herself up against some of the same forces of inequity as a teacher in Philadelphia's highly segregated public school system. Always a social justice warrior, Liz became even more involved in trying to fight racial segregation in education in the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd. But the often lonely struggle took its toll...2024-01-1828 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandFighting for Children’s Rights with LuQman AbdullahLuQman Abdullah caught my attention when I read his commentaries on gun violence in the Philadelphia Citizen.He emphasized something that had become evident to me through my work as a classroom teacher: Young people are not being heard. Now maybe that’s always been the case. Maybe American adults have perennially dismissed the voices of children. But what LuQman says is that given the prevalence of guns and despair, our failure to listen is having deadly consequences.LuQman’s passion for saving Philadelphia’s children is connected to the fact that he los...2023-12-1927 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandRiding the Trolley with Soup DavisI am an obsessive people-watcher. Which is one of the reasons working in a school never-got old for me. Schools are full of people and stories. When I started the podcast, I thought about other workplaces that allow for good people-watching, and public transportation came to mind. Bus drivers, train conductors, transit workers — they all see an incredible cross section of the city’s population every day. My grandfather, Charlie Gibbons, knew this well: He was a trolley car driver for SEPTA, Philadelphia’s public transportation system. So as a sort of tribute to Charlie...2023-12-1428 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandReflecting on Season 1 with Pat CooperOn paper, Maureen Boland and Pat Cooper might seem like unlikely friends. They come from very different backgrounds and have had totally disparate life experiences. Maureen was Pat’s high school teacher years ago. But as deeply curious people, interested in complex matters of the heart and mind, they’ve found many threads of connection between them.In our final episode of this season, Pat talks to Maureen about growing up in North Philadelphia, his spiritual awakenings, fatherhood and writing. The two also reflect on some of the podcast stories that resonated with him.The...2023-08-2529 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandMighty Writing at Covenant HouseThe U.S. is facing an unprecedented youth crisis: 1 in 10 young adults is dealing with some form of homelessness each year, and the numbers of them struggling with mental health issues has increased dramatically. When host Maureen Boland was a high school teacher, it was not unusual for her to discover that one of her students was homeless. The clues were subtle: Maybe they’d just be carrying extra bags, or arrive later than usual. But when she learned that one of her students who had a baby had no place safe to stay, she took her to ...2023-08-1032 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandFood for Thought from Mighty Writers in Kennett SquareKennett Square, PA, aka the Mushroom Capital of the World, is about an hour south of Philadelphia. Fully half of the U.S. gets its mushrooms from Kennett Square, and the majority of people who make that happen, often in substandard working and living conditions, are migrant farmworkers from Mexico, Central America and Venezuela.Today we speak with friends Anita Davidson and Nelson Alberto Contreras Gelves, who both work at a food pantry in Kennett Square. Nelson, a Venezuelan migrant who fled political persecution, tells us his immigration story and explains why he feels so connected...2023-07-1332 min

The Mighty Writers Podcast... with Maureen BolandWill the Kids Be Alright? With Dr. Laurie SantosIn January, Yale psychology professor Laurie Santos adapted her popular “Science of Well-Being” course for teen audiences. That curriculum was picked up by Philadelphia high school teacher Kate Reber, who offered the online course in the hopes that it would help her students — many of whom have been struggling with anxiety and depression — navigate their lives. In this episode, we begin by talking to Kate about being on the frontlines of the youth mental health crisis, and how “The Science of Well-Being”fit into that. Then we speak with two of Kate’s seniors, Jada...2023-06-0139 min
