Navigating the STEM Landscape: Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities for Latinas in Pursuit of Representation and Inclusion
No full textThis phenomenological study delves into the underrepresentation that Latinas experience in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) industry, a notable disparity given their increased enrollment in higher education, revealing a significant concern within the STEM educational pipeline. Utilizing the core components of the STEM identity framework (competence, performance, and recognition) in conjunction with the cultural value of familismo, which emphasizes strong familial bonds, the research seeks to illuminate the complexities Latinas navigate as they strive to carve a pathway within the STEM education to workforce pipeline. Using a qualitative approach, the study identifies that the timing of participants\u27 initial interest in STEM plays a pivotal role in shaping their identity as aspiring STEM professionals. Similarly, the narratives collectively highlight how diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) efforts in higher education can bolster the participation and success of Latinas in STEM. The narratives also demonstrate the complex negotiation that Latinas engage in as they navigate professional aspirations alongside idealistic expectations from their families. These findings underscore the need for earlier STEM interventions for Latinas and call for more intentional DEIB efforts throughout the STEM education pipeline

The Mindful Way: An Explorative Case Study of the Transformative Effects of Afro Flow Yoga a Culturally Adapted Mindfulness Intervention on the Health and Well-Being of Black Women
No full textThis qualitative phenomenological exploratory case study explored Afro Flow Yoga to evaluate its potential as a culturally adaptable mindfulness-based intervention for enhancing the health and well-being of Black women while addressing the historical ills and adverse effects of intersectionality.

Therefore, culturally adapted mindfulness interventions are essential to cater to the unique needs of Black women. The mindfulness exercises included in this model will provide Black women and facilitators with the essential tools to address their unique needs. Overall, this study will contribute to mindfulness-based interventions and research by highlighting the transformative effects of culturally adaptive mindfulness-based intervention Afro Flow Yoga on the health and well-being of Black women
Our Regrets – Opportunities to Move Forward?
No full textMany NowGens and NextGens may say, “I have no regrets”. It’s even a favorite tattoo image! Yet, do we have an option to regret regrets? That is, is it acceptable to have and think about regrets as a way to improve our lives and family businesses? The answer is “yes”. Regret is one of the most misunderstood emotions according to Daniel Pink, a New York Times bestselling author. He says that everyone has regrets. And his several research projects on regret suggest that while we cannot unwind the past, studying our regrets helps us to get direction on a life well lived – a life of stability, consideration of promising chances to take risks, chances to do the right thing and chances for love and connections. Regrets make us human because they are based on choices we have made. Viewing them as a learning tool can give us direction to a better life and help us improve in our decision making, negotiations, strategies, risk-taking and problem solving. And no one is immune. Regret is something common in all of us – Pink found in his research that “a whopping 82% say that this activity (regret) is at least occasionally part of their lives, making Americans far more likely to express regret than floss their teeth”
