In Episode 144, I chat with the brilliant Dr. Pranali Hoyle, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst-Doctoral Level who studies the effects of mindfulness on parent-child interactions. We dig deep into the origins of mindfulness and meditation from Pranali's early days growing up in India where, as a practicing Hindu, she learned from Buddhist teachings on mindfulness to her current context in New Jersey studying the works of Jon Kabat-Zinn and Dr. Nirbhay Singh. So grab your bolster or blanket, put on your airpods and join us for a peaceful journey of learning!

For the inaugural Black Women in Behavior Analysis Appreciation Day (Feb 21st!) I'm humbled to share episode 142 with the amazing Portia James! 
Portia is a visionary, a powerhouse of a leader, and a pioneer for people of color in her field. She shares bold perspectives on the lack of representation for black leadership in the workplace and how it impacts decision-making and strategic execution at the executive level. She is among the few Behavior Analysts featured in Forbes and Harvard Business Review.

In Episode 139, Ben chats with the brilliant and wonderful Sawsan Razzouk, a Lebanese behavior analyst who elegantly melds applied behavior analysis, acceptance and commitment training, and eye movement desensitization reprocessing therapy to address the effects of war. Sawson has experienced the trauma of war from the time she lay in her mother's womb as they fled wartime Liberia in the late 80s.  Now working to support families in the West Bank, refugees escaping to Lebanon, and therapists on the front lines,  Sawson and her colleagues are using what little resources they have available to them to effect change and build resilience for all affected by the horrors of war.

Dr. Campbell’s research involves equitable intervention delivery within a multi-tiered behavior support framework focused on preventative strategies for improving student academic, social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes, particularly in culturally and linguistically diverse learners and those students being educated in underserved communities. Dr. Campbell currently serves as the director of an inaugural undergraduate and graduate student research lab focused on refining and testing interventions to reduce exclusionary discipline practices, improve student-teacher relationships, and increase instructional and classroom time for marginalized students with or at risk of an Emotional and Behavioral Disorder (EBD), and culturally responsive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and culturally responsive Positive Behavior Interventions Supports.

In Episode 136  Ben talks with Dr. Sonia Levy, A Black, Jewish behaviour analyst and lead author on a seminal article in behaviour analysis entitled: A Look In The Mirror: How the Field of Behavior Analysis Can Become Antiracist. This article was written not long after the brutal murder of George Floyd by police in 2020 and the beginning of a new social justice movement that captured the minds and hearts of people all over the world.  Many behavior analysts, behavior analytic companies, overarching associations, and certification boards put out statements condemning racism and formed committees and task forces committed to combating racism in the field of behaviour analysis.  It's been almost four years since the murder of George Floyd and this conversation serves as a check-in to see how far this field has come.

Episode 120 is a conversation with Dr. Eziafakaku Nwokolo, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a Qualified Behavior Analyst (QBA). Notably, she is the only BCBA in the entire resident Nigerian population and one of the growing numbers of QBAs in the country.
She is the Founder and CEO of Shades of Life Care Limited (SOL), a centre that provides assessment, diagnosis, and intervention strategies to families with children that have behavioural challenges, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The facility also offers training and supervision services to Behaviour Analysts and Technicians in Nigeria.
She holds a Ph.D. in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities from the University of Kent, where her thesis focused on “Screening for Autism and Intellectual Disabilities Amongst the Nigerian Adolescent Population”. Her thesis represents a significant milestone in Nigeria, as this study is the first of its kind in the country and will help support diagnosis and intervention for Autism and other Intellectual Disabilities because it highlights the need to create a more comprehensive screening methodology for Nigerians and Africans that is culturally appropriate.
