Arroe Collins View From The Writing Instrument

The powerful new documentary Artfully United, arriving in theaters nationwide on October 17, illuminates art’s ability to bridge gaps and create understanding. Mike Norice rose up from the gang-filled streets of South Central LA to become a visual artist and sneaker-art designer (making custom paintings and sneakers for celebrities such as Elton John, Mariah Carey, Michael B. Jordan, Tom Cruise and many more). He began painting inspiring murals with uplifting messages in the city’s toughest neighborhoods, which led to the Artfully United project — a national, 20-mural series he designed, using his art and vision as an unparalleled source of hope. That project not only brought Norice attention from political leaders and local activists but most crucially, let the children and those in distress know they have potential and hope for a brighter future.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.

Pod Crashing episode 406 with Kelsey Snelling from the Podcast Camp Shame… "Camp Shame" is an eight-episode investigative series that delves into the darker aspects of Camp Shane's operations. Snelling, through meticulous research and heartfelt interviews, exposes how the camp, under the guise of promoting health, often pushed children to their physical and emotional limits. The podcast critically examines the systemic issues and societal pressures that allowed such practices to persist for over half a century.Central to the podcast are the firsthand accounts of former campers. These individuals recount experiences of being subjected to extreme diets, intense physical regimens, and psychological tactics aimed at enforcing conformity to narrow beauty standards. Many describe lasting impacts, including struggles with body image, self-esteem, and mental health. Snelling's compassionate storytelling ensures that these voices are heard, validated, and contextualized within broader societal issues.Beyond the confines of Camp Shane, "Camp Shame" serves as a commentary on the pervasive culture of fatphobia and the commodification of weight loss. The podcast challenges listeners to reflect on how societal obsessions with thinness can lead to harmful practices, especially when targeted at vulnerable populations like children. It also questions the ethics of for-profit institutions that capitalize on these obsessions without adequate oversight or concern for long-term well-being.Episodes available  here:⁠Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-camp-shame-272594326/⁠  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.
