Enjoyed chatting w/ @deepafern @NPR @hereandnow. We discussed the current uptick, should folks change behavior, & my own case... which she learned of when she saw my banged-up face while she was suffering from Covid while camping in an Aussie rain forest. wbur.org/hereandnow/2023/08/…

COVID-19 summer uptick: What to know

I sat down w/@deepafern, host of @hereandnow to discuss "Lies About Black People." I really appreciate what Deepa & @NPR do on the real issues we face today. I hope you also find this conversation helpful on your #antiracist journey! wbur.org/hereandnow/2023/08/… #npr #hereandnow

'Lies About Black People' seeks to debunk myths and move forward

The book addresses the many myths that are held about Black people, their corrosive effects, and how to begin to overcome them.

🔊 Listen to LIRS President and CEO @KrishVignarajah discuss the recent block of the Biden administration’s asylum restrictions: wbur.fm/3rKoKTt @hereandnow @deepafern

Federal judge blocks Biden's new border asylum policy

The judge who blocked it also put his ruling on hold, giving the administration a chance to appeal.

I was happy to join @deepafern on @hereandnow to talk about my story on two friends and the betrayal that tore them apart. wbur.org/hereandnow/2023/07/…

One man's silence kept his friend imprisoned for decades. Now, he's yearning for forgiveness

What does forgiveness look like after betrayal? That's the question at the center of a story about three friends who fled Cuba together as young adults in 1980.

Loved talking with @deepafern on @npr's @hereandnow today Our story asks: "Will California crack down on cash apps that trap women in debt?" wbur.org/hereandnow/2023/05/…

Apps that offer fast cash could soon be regulated in California

The apps are nothing more than predatory loan practices packaged into a new, fancy app, experts say.

Thank you @hereandnow for highlighting these beautiful words of gratitude for #childcare providers: hubs.li/Q01PCly20. Need a Friday pick-me-up? Read this piece and then say #thankyouchildcare to a provider in your life. #ProviderAppreciationDay @deepafern @ABaileyLocke

What makes child care providers awesome: Parents share their appreciation

Preschool teachers, as well as daycare providers and nannies, don't always get the recognition, respect or pay that K-12 educators receive.

HAPPENING NOW: LAST FEW MINUTES of Title 42 and no signs or indications of an invasion or rush to border. Lots of military force, concertina wire, DPS, drones & few hundred migrants waiting 4 hours to turn themselves to a fickle nation. ⁦@disolis⁩ ⁦@arcelitamartin⁩

“It’s troubling that @POTUS is resurrecting a Trump policy that's inconsistent with US asylum law, which has been on the books for 7 decades, and imposes restrictions that would eviscerate asylum seekers’ legal rights” @KrishVignarajah and @deepafern 🎧👇 wbur.org/hereandnow/2023/05/…

What new asylum restrictions mean for migrants at the U.S-Mexico border after Title 42

The new restrictions will make it easier for the Biden administration to deport some people crossing the southern border after Title 42 ends on Thursday night.

For those interested, here’s the interview I did today on my new book, dementia, and caregiving with @deepafern on @NPR’s @hereandnow. Please share so it reaches the people who need to hear it. wbur.org/hereandnow/2023/05/…

'My Father's Brain' memoir explores the effect of Alzheimer's disease

The book intertwines information about the disease and how it's treated with Sandeep Jauhar's own story of coping when his father developed Alzheimer's.
