The BCCJ is a social-justice non-profit that runs two awe-inspiring leadership training programs:…read moreone for teens called InIt, and one for adults called LeadBoston. I participated in LeadBoston in 2009, and while I can't say it completely introduced me to the concepts of social justice, but what it did do was take all the theories and ideas about social equality and dump them squarely in my lap where I couldn't avoid them or pretend not to see them. LeadBoston takes about 50 adults each year, starting in September, to go through a 10-month program focusing on a variety of social-justice related issues: health disparities, racism/sexism/homophobia, and puts the participants into neighborhoods in Boston where those issues are a major concern. The program was an excellent way to get out into the city, especially to neighborhoods that I don't normally spend a lot of time in because they are far away. It also gave me a real close look at issues in my own neighborhood that I never noticed before. The real, serious value in this program is not only learning more about how our society isn't fair for everyone, but seeing that injustice IN ACTION in our own city, and meeting the people doing substantive work to change that. The staff who work at BCCJ are progressive educators incarnate. I thought I was lord of progressive politics, until the executive director (very gently) helped me see some serious white privilege I displayed. Pretty much they should all get a halo and angel wings for the wisdom and insight they provide the world. Now that I'm an alumni of the program, I have access to a vast network of previous LeadBoston alums, who span every conceivable job field and industry. They've already given me some seriously awesome life and career advice, and I intend to keep getting more from them over the years. In addition to the two major programs, BCCJ also runs regular movie nights, networking brunches, and an awesome (although pricey) fundraiser in the Block Party. The one limiting factor for BCCJ's amazing programs is the price, although comparing them to a commercial service isn't really a valid exercise. LeadBoston is about the same cost as a college class at a good university, and BCCJ usually asks the participant's employer to sponsor them for all or part of the cost.

Their events are perfect for meeting other marketing, technology and digital media professionals from the Boston/New England area (also other cities). MITX also hosts a number of speakers, events, awards ceremonies, seminars etc. I have met a lot of great people from all over who work in a wide variety of marketing and digitial media companies and meeting these people makes for a very fun and interesting networking event. Their famous one is held in August, the harbor cruise with open bar, delicious food, dancing and gifts. If you work in any of the above mentioned fields, this is certainly an organization you want to be a part of, even if its only for the networking. Their website explains their mission and presence in the Boston area and is just very fascinating, you can quickly register on bima.org, most memberships do cost something but it is worth it, other memberships are free, depending on the type of company you work for.

I had a very bad experience with Soule and I had to withdraw my toddler daughter after 3 days. In…read moreshort, the problem is management and, perhaps, its culture. Before I explain what happened, I should note that Soule was the only school that did in-person tours in the peak of the pandemic in February whereas every single school/daycare was doing it remotely. I think that says something... After I enrolled my child, I was told that a week before the official start day, she will come in everyday for an hour with me accompanying her in the classroom. Third day of that transition week, I was told to wait outside as she seemed to be doing fine alone. I left briefly to go to Starbucks to pick up a cup of coffee. When I returned, I found her crying, and I was told that I should stick around because it is the transition period. At week 2, which is the official start week, on Monday I did stick around whole day, because that is what I assumed I was supposed to be doing. Nobody gave me any instructions or explained me any plan. At 10am, they took her out since she was crying asking me to take her home. That did not sound right to me, because she will never get used to the place if I take her home after each cry. So, I gave her some food and I let her go inside again. They had a tendency to say goodbye throughout the day, eager to send us home. I stayed and assisted her to nap there. I thought this was weird as I cannot spend my days like that sticking around whole day, so I asked them to come up with a plan. They said I should leave her in the morning and go home because when she knows that I am outside, she will try to go out and cry. I agreed. The plan was that I was going to leave her half a day for two days and on the third day we would try full day. This plan was reasonable to me, because she was not doing terribly bad at all: she loved the toys and the school, but she needed to learn to stay there without me. Btw, I should note that I did not even do sleep training with her since I am not ok letting her cry for long periods of time. But, our original plan was good, because she seemed to be doing fine. An hour later, the director calls me and says, they decided to switch her enrollment to half day for that month because it is too stressful for her. When I said let me think about it, she says, no, that is what we decided! So, they are making a decision by themselves without thinking about my personal circumstances. I am a single mom who needs to return to her full time job. This was very disturbing for me. I talked to some friends with kids. They all found this whole thing very strange. They all thought that it is their job to entertain/distract her so that she does not cry; they thought that it should not be up to them to make a decision unilaterally. I needed them to do their part so that she gets used to the place as soon as possible. "She cried, take her home" is not a solution. Plus, this created extreme anxiety for me as I could not rely on them to organize my life. I decided to try one-two more days. I found myself calling/texting them to see how she is doing. The second day, nobody even replied to my texts. Somebody should have explained me how the communication was going to work (e.g., they would check with me in mid day, or just reach out to me only if there is an issue). None of that. No explanation of the processes. I talked to the director and explained her all my thoughts. (Oh, btw, the director also said the center is getting rid of all the Covid rules which prompted her to resign.) She kept saying that I am right. But, I don't think that she cares, as she is leaving anyways. Where does the process break? I think the lead teacher has as much responsibility as the director in making sure that there is proper communication with the parent, educating the parent, and setting the expectations of the parent. After we made a plan together, what did she say to the director which made her call me and tell me that they are changing her enrollment without my consent? Plans, of course, can change. I was not going to torment my child if she was not adjusting well, but it should not be up to the school to make a decision without my consent. I am the customer. I eventually decided to cancel her enrollment (which the director offered me), because I could not trust what kind of uncertainty and unreliability was waiting for me in the future. I need reliable care. I do not recommend this place. The core of the problem perhaps is that they have a state institution mentality, which they are. They are employees of the city of Brookline. Private daycares care so much about customer satisfaction and their ratings; the directors seem to be hovering around to make sure that the place is functioning properly. I got the impression that the director of Soule was jaded. Not sure if the new one can change the culture because incentives most likely are there to stay.

If you are a young adult in Boston seeking Christ-centered community, this is the place to be. King's Hill is full of people truly doing life together all throughout the week. Sunday mornings are theologically deep and Gospel-focused. They are also serious about discipleship and helping their members grow in their faith, and truly seek to serve the city of Boston. King's is an amazing church to be a part of. In Boston, which can be a lonely and busy city, I found instant friends at King's and was immediately made to feel at home. When it became clear that I live too far away to become a member (tragically), King's encouraged me towards a partnering church closer to home. Their graciousness speaks volumes to the type of church they are.

And once the service is over you walk out wondering if anyone even noticed you were there? Well, I have. A few times. It's difficult finding a church and I've been on the hunt for one for a while. I went to King's Hill today, making this Sunday, a special one. When I got to the doors and admitted I was new, a lovely young woman said "let me walk with you!" and escorted me in. Once there, multiple people came to talk to me--and it wasn't forced, it wasn't fake. The worship music has two stunning female singers. Most importantly, the message was so good! Connected directly to the word, to us the congregation, and to our daily lives. It wasn't hard to follow, but it was full of scripture at the same time. The pastor runs an honest and passionate ship of believers. Imma get myself onboard. For logistics: service takes place on the first floor of the Hilton hotel. Parking is next door in a garage. The church will give you a ticket to validate your parking (you won't have to pay). They set out bibles for you to take home. No tea or coffee, but a whole lot of conversation.
