Mimi Loftus started her professional career in New York City teaching Literature, Writing, and Psychology at Monroe College in the Bronx, and then English and History at the Beacon School in Manhattan. After taking a complement of students to Cuba in 2000, Mimi moved to New Orleans (the northernmost Caribbean country!) where she was invited to participate in the National Writing Project. Shortly thereafter, she joined New Orleans Access Television as Education Coordinator and Senior Writer where she produced educational programming, wrote and administered several training grants, consulted on all film training programs developed by the City of New Orleans, and helped design curriculum for media programs offered in local schools. In addition, Mimi wrote the curriculum for film and video production, certified by the State of Louisiana, and taught Screenwriting and Introduction to Production at Louisiana Technical College. In 2009, Mimi returned to New York and to Monroe College as Director of the Writing Center and Writing Across the Curriculum. She was also a member of the Honors Executive Board, the Honors Program Coordinator for the Bronx campus, and taught Honors sections of Film as Literature, Expository Writing, and The Psychology of Child Development. Formerly the English and World Languages Department Head, Mimi currently teaches English and Humanities classes at Fusion Academy, a progressive private school in Southlake, Texas, where the student-teacher ratio is 1:1. At Fusion, Mimi writes and customizes her curriculum to meet each student's learning style and interests, while tailoring the instruction to capitalize on strengths and develop academic areas of growth and life skills. Her pedagogical approach is rooted in inquiry-based learning, where students develop authentic, real-world connections to the content through exploration and high-level questioning. A freelance writer since 2003, Mimi writes grants, submissions for RFQs and RFPs, feasibility studies, advertising copy, and screenplays. One of her feature-length screenplays was independently produced and internationally distributed through Maverick Entertainment. An avid traveler, Mimi has been to 40 US states and 14 foreign countries. She is literate in Spanish, and conversational in French and Italian. She earned her BA from the University of Massachusetts, her MA from Boston University, and a certificate from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. When she’s not scolding her students for ending sentences in prepositions, Mimi is hanging out with her dog Phoenix, attending nerdy events, spending time with her family, and practicing Jedi mind tricks on unsuspecting Padawans.

This week’s guest is Alicia Rogers. Alicia is a tv news producer in Los Angeles, CA. She’s worked at news stations around the country from east coast to west coast and in between, including the Midwest where she’s from. She was born and raised in Lawrence, KS but always knew she was meant to leave and explore the world. She was brought on at her current news station Spectrum News 1 to create, launch and produce a new weekend show. Earlier this spring she handed over her “baby” and took over her news station’s afternoon shows to build those up. If asked to describe herself, Alicia would use the words ambitious and relentless. She welcomes failure if it will get her that much closer to success. She’s a single mom of three amazing kids and believes they’re some of the best motivation when it comes to chasing her dreams and teaching them to do the same. She also has a special place in her heart for the doubters and naysayers. In her free time Alicia loves to read, attend her kids sporting events, work out, and do DIY crafting of any kind. Her message to the world? If you don’t go for it, you’ll never know. And if you’ve never experienced failure, you’ll never truly value success.

This week on Deeply Rooted we are headed to Kenya to talk the amazing Iza Correll. She is one of the worlds finest people. She’s gives selflessly and unconditionally. I am so inspired by Iza and I can’t wait to sit down with her.   Seeing the failure of humanitarian aid to transform the health, happiness and security of children, Iza Correll founded OVI Healthcare.   Iza’s late nephew Ovidio (known as Ovi) passed away when he was four. He was an orphan in Guatemala in the process of being adopted by Iza’s sister. This tragedy inspired Iza to start the charity in his name. Today, Iza and her team run the charity from the OVI Children’s Hospital in Kenya.   Iza’s vision then and now is a world where no child is alone. She knows what works and sees it working every day. The next step is introducing this approach across Africa and Asia to end the orphan crisis and prevent poverty.   Iza Correll is an internationally acclaimed social entrepreneur, a dually licensed US Physician Assistant and Kenyan Clinical Officer, best selling author, and the youngest ever recipient of the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award for Global Citizenship (among fellow laureates US President Jimmy Carter, Michael J Fox and Christina Aguilera)
