  • Exploring the Messy of Well-Being and Working with Community with Prameela Boorada

    Exploring the Messy of Well-Being and Working with Community with Prameela Boorada
    Jul 10 2020
    Well-being is often packaged as a neat box, as a clear destination, rather than the meandering, complex journey it is. For Prameela Boorada, Headstream Fellow, and today’s guest, wellness and youth well-being is a fluid, ever-expanding concept, and her exploration of these notions has garnered far more questions than answers. In this incredible episode, we hear more about this flexible understanding of wellness. It is important to understand both the light and dark sides of the processes that go into well-being. With love comes accountability, with vulnerability comes discomfort and empowerment, and with growth comes unlearning and resilience. Digital spaces need to speak to both sides, not simply the light. We also delve into some of the major assumptions Prameela has confronted through the fellowship. From ideas around capitalization to the negligibility of intention if there’s a desirable outcome, Prameela has opened herself to continual unlearning. Her insights display a profound understanding of co-creation and collaborative design thinking rather than a top-down approach. Along with this, we also unpack why we’re even having to justify diversity as a driver of creation, the iterations of Prameela’s project, and the importance of getting comfortable in the discomfort. We are so grateful not only that Prameela was on the show but also that she is such an extraordinary part of the Headstream community. Tune in today! Key Points From This Episode: ·  How and why Prameela’s definition of well-being has expanded and evolved over time. ·  Youth well-being is comprised of processes that have dark and light sides built in. ·  Find out why digital spaces have to account for the dark side of youth well-being. ·  Why there cannot be a one-size-fits-all digital platform to address youth wellness. ·  Three of Prameela’s assumptions that were challenged during this fellowship. ·  The gap that exists between activists and advocates and product developers. ·  Trickle-down social impact: Why minority communities become edge use cases. ·  How Prameela’s experience with Headstream showed her a different form of capitalization. ·  If humanity’s diversity isn’t acknowledged, it’s impossible to strive for authentic connection. ·  An overview of Prameela’s project and some of the changes it underwent. ·  How Prameela’s project explored the idea of human connection in digital spaces. ·  Why Prameela was relieved that her findings pointed to the ‘messiness’ of well-being. ·  Challenging assumptions and unlearning are supposed to be messy. ·  How the stories she heard during the project, shifted Prameela’s notion of well-being.   Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: https://theunfilteredarchive.com/ (The Unfiltered Archive) https://www.instagram.com/the.fickle.artist/ (Prameela Boorada on Instagram) https://www.linkedin.com/in/prameela-boorada/ (Prameela Boorada on LinkedIn) https://www.headstreaminnovation.com/ (Headstream)

  • Navigating Your River of Wellness with Digital Technology with Ilana Nguyen

    Navigating Your River of Wellness with Digital Technology with Ilana Nguyen
    Jul 10 2020
    Welcome to the third episode of The Next Wave Podcast, where we will be exploring teens, tech, and wellness with Headstream Youth Fellow, Ilana Nguyen. Following Ilana’s SecondMuse Fellowship project, which is focused on technology and youth wellbeing, this episode finds itself at the intersection of technology and human connection, centered around the importance of having both choice and guidance while navigating digital technologies. At only 15 years old, Ilana gave a talk titled Teens, Technology, and the Antidote at TEDxOakland last year that presented a funny and poignant perspective and challenged attendees to be the solution to the negative consequences of technology. This episode starts with the metaphor of a river of wellbeing, which is how Ilana describes her relationship with wellness, navigating both smooth sailing and rough patches by learning how to ask for help. We discuss how social media can provide a sense of community, especially at times like these, and Ilana shares why she wishes that digital technologies would put human connection, wellness, and diverse voices at the forefront of their design. We talk about Ilana’s Fellowship project, the impact she hopes it to have, and the personal lessons she learned from her interviews with young people using technology. We close the show with our personal mantras and the digital spaces, platforms, or experiences that work for us, and help guide us towards a healthier relationship with social media and ourselves. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation!

  • What It Means to Build Wellness Through Inclusive Digital Experiences with Carla and David

    What It Means to Build Wellness Through Inclusive Digital Experiences with Carla and David
    Jul 10 2020
    After hearing from the Fellows of Headstream, we thought it would be good to take a step back and look at the project at large. Today’s guests, David Ball, and Carla Loury, Director and Program Manager of Headstream respectively join us to share more about the program’s mission of facilitating inclusive digital experiences for young people. We kick off the show by discussing wellness generally along with personal manifestations of well-being. It's important to understand that this is a highly-individualized concept. As such, Headstream looks at how they can foster meaningful connections, social and emotional skills, and support in online spaces to make the experience of growing up in the digital world a positive one. From there, we turn our attention to some of the ways that digital spaces can be harmful to young people, along with approaches to overcome these obstacles. We also discuss the importance of empowering young people authentically, which goes beyond giving them a seat at the table. It's about allowing them to share in ways that resonate with them. We wrap the show up by talking about how Headstream moves beyond the traditional 'teacher knows best' mindset to a co-collaborative one, their exciting upcoming Youth Advisory program, and how our skills can enable us to create great digital spaces. Be sure to tune in today! Key Points From This Episode: •  An overview of Headstream, the work they do, and some of their projects. •  What personal wellness and well-being mean to Carla and David. •  The three core components Headstream identified as being central to growing up. •  Learn more about Headstream’s innovative facilitation in digital spaces. •  Some of the ways that digital spaces limit wellness and well-being and overcoming them. •  How young people can be empowered in the movement Headstream is leading. •  Why empower young people goes beyond simply giving them a space in the room. •  Find out more about Headstream’s Youth Advisory program they’re launching this summer. •  The importance of being upfront and explicit about the kind of community you’re creating. •  What entrepreneurs can do to work with rather than for young people. •  The ways that we can support youth digital well-being will look different for each of us. •  Our hope for the future: What we want digital spaces to be.   Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ballmd/ (David Ball on LinkedIn) https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlaloury/ (Carla Loury on LinkedIn) https://www.headstreaminnovation.com/ (Headstream) https://www.secondmuse.com/ (SecondMuse)
