Jane Elliott is an internationally known educator, anti-racism activist, and a sought-after diversity trainer and consultant who came to fame in 1968 when the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King summoned her to teach her third-grade students about what it feels like to be discriminated against.
Jane’s “Blue-Eyes Brown-Eyes” anti-racist exercise received national acclaim and was the subject of a Peabody Award winning film called, “The Eye of The Storm.” Jane Elliott is also the recipient of the National Mental Health Association Award for Excellence in Education and for more than fifty-years she has traveled around the world working tirelessly to eradicate the ignorance that keeps racism, bigotry and discrimination alive.
Jane speaks the truth about racism challenging those caught up in white denial and fragility. The award-winning educator, says “I was born in 1933, the year Adolf Hitler and Franklin Roosevelt came to power. I remember what the Nazis did from 1933 until 1945. And I saw that same thing happening in this country where skin color is concerned.” Jane was referencing the 1960’s then but we have learned nothing from our past as today history is repeating itself once again. Racism, antisemitism, bigotry and discrimination are being turned into law in Republican led states across our country. These actions represent a clear and present danger for us all.
For those of you who feel racism is a problem of years past just turn on the nightly news and you’ll have a front row seat to witness how racism is causing the destruction of our democracy. Education is the key to reversing what is happening yet sixteen states in this country have passed laws restricting what is taught about black history in the classroom and nineteen more states have bills pending to do the same.
Teachers and librarians are being threatened with arrest and firing if they teach the truth about slavery, Jim Crow laws, lynching, systemic racism and the genocide of indigenous people. This is an all-hands-on-
deck call to American citizens to wake-up, speak out and take action against the hatred, racism, bigotry and lies that are spreading through our country like a deadly epidemic.
Tune in to “Behind The Curtain,” and get ready to be inspired by Jane Elliott, the amazing, thought provoking Super-Shero of our time as she speaks truth to power about racism. It is our responsibility(yours and mine) to dismantle racism, bigotry and hatred, and the time to do so is long past due. Join us to hear about actions you can take wherever you live to help abolish hate and inequity.
Meet Tamia Hill with Tamia Talks Tarot
What Do The Cards Have In Store For You?
Tamia Hill, did not set out to be a Tarot card reader. Tamia was in her first year of college in 2020 when her life as ours, was interrupted by the Covid epidemic. From the aristocratic courts of medieval Italy in mid 1400’s to current day, the story of Tarot’s metamorphosis from creation to becoming a card game played in the parlor of wealthy families to the cards being used as a spiritual guide, Tarot and Tamia’s destiny were somewhat preordained.
All of us lived in a state of uncertainty and isolation when Covid hit. Our lives were paused and none of us knew what would happen from one day to the next. During this time many people had spiritual awakenings, proving that in every dark cloud there is a silver lining if we look for it.
In Tamia’s case, overcoming what appeared to be the end of the world, led her on a journey of self-discovery. Her personal realizations created a desire within to pay that knowledge she was acquiring forward in order to help other people become their best selves. Through learning and practicing connection with her Ancestors and Spirit Guides, Tamia says she began to understand the power she held when it came to her own life. Tamia studied and indulged herself in the Tarot for over a year before she was led to take her new found gift to the public. Tamia founded Tamiatalkstarot.com, a business of doing readings through tarot cards.
I was mesmerized by Tamia’s spirit, her candor, sincerity, and intuitiveness. When you come across another human being who emanates so much light, they light you up you’ve met a person to be treasured and as a messenger I see it as my mission to share Tamia with all of you. Tamia says, “Through each reading, my Intention is that each and every person I read for leaves better than which they came - with a sense of purpose, direction, clarity, and most importantly, Love.
