    Episode 12: Cabrini Movie Critique with Gina Miele and Marybeth Bonfiglio

    In this episode Lisa, Gina, and Marybeth discuss their personal critique and opinions about the movie "Cabrini" just out by Angel Studios. The movie is a biographical drama about the Italian nun Francesca Cabrini who was sent by the Vatican to New York City in the late 1800's to aid the Italian immigrants who were living there. Madre Cabrini was the first American saint and is known for her many miracles as well the orphanages and hospitals she founded. Dr. Gina Miele is a professor of Italian literature, culture, and folklore at Montclair State University. She is a second generation Italian American and a fluent Italian language speaker. Marybeth Bonfiglio is a writer, ancestralist, and works with people of all lineages to help them reconnect and remember who they may have been before the plague of whiteness, colonization, and assimilation. She holds ancestral pilgrimages on the beloved island of Sicily for those longing to go deeper with land, culture and people through her organization, Radici Siciliane.

    Episode 8: Building Hope and Healing: Akwesasne's Transitional Tiny Home Project With Jonel Beauvais

    Donate: TINY HOME PROJECT In this episode we talk about her activist endeavors including her latest tiny house project located in Mohawk Territory at Akwesasne that supports individuals coming home from prison/rehabilitation and reintegrating into community. She has been successfully fundraising for the construction of the first Tiny home and it has been delivered. Donations continue to be needed to complete the inside renovations and fulfill the goal of several more tiny homes. Jonel is currently working for Kahwatsiraien:ton which is founded in supporting the families of Ohero:kon. She has dedicated six years as a council member and lead Auntie for all adolescent girls entering their first year of fasting in Ohero:kon “Under the Husk”, which is the Rights of Passage for youth in Akwesasne. Through ceremony these youth commit to four years of fasting in which they attend weekly gatherings throughout the winter months where traditional/modern teachings are presented to the young fasters and their families. All with the intentions of receiving a vision, insight or guidance on the purpose of their journey into adulthood. She recently spent five years cultivating support and experience around violence with the Seven Dancers Coalition, as Community Outreach, located in Upstate New York on the U.S./Can political border of her home territory in Akwesasne. The Coalition seeks to educate Tribal communities and service providers through trainings and presentations on Sexual Assault, Domestic violence, Campus Safety, Teen Dating, Sex Trafficking and Stalking. She was a recipient of 2020 Visionary Voice Award, nominated by the New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault, granted by the National Sexual Assault Resource Center. She is also a member of the Section 84 parole board of Akwesasne and the Neh Kanikonriio Council which is a restorative justice initiative that integrates indigenous ways of mediation to reduce incarceration and provide a more interpersonal means of healing for both parties.             In 2019 Jonel was picked as one of ten women nationally to represent a fellowship for formerly incarcerated or directly impacted woman of color, through the Community Change organization. With peer to peer mentorship, community organizing skill building, and cultivating change in the hearts of women directly impacted by the social violence, prison systems and immigration.  In 2020 she was accepted to be on a national cohort of women through Columbia University’s Women Transcending fellowship that was organized to support formerly incarcerated women build power, gain resources and strengthen leadership development. In addition Jonel was extended an invitation to sit on the national #FREEHER board with the Circle for Justice Innovations which give out grant opportunities for women of color who are in their communities working to address mass incarceration.
