We are proud and excited to share that our President, Dr. Lisette Nieves, has launched a podcast, The Junction with Lisette Nieves.
This podcast explores the intersections of leadership, culture, education, public service, storytelling, and community. At a time when the world feels increasingly divided and fast-moving, it creates a space for honest conversations, thoughtful reflection, and meaningful connection.
Episodes include honorees from FCNY Conferences, including:
✨ Journalist Cheryl Wills on legacy, storytelling, and reclaiming erased histories
✨ SUNY Chancellor John B. King Jr.
✨ Pulitzer Prize Winner Maria Hinojosa
And other extraordinary guests, including:
✨ Bestselling author Xochitl Gonzalez on voice, power, and creative purpose
✨ Dr. Gisele Castro, President & CEO of Exalt, on justice-involved youth, healing, and second chances
✨ Multidisciplinary artist Kandy G. Lopez on Afro-Latinidad, visibility, identity, and artistic expression
✨ New York Public Library President Tony Marx
Additional guests will be added weekly, including Janai Nelson, President of the Legal Defense Fund.
These conversations are honest, thoughtful, personal, and deeply grounded in the realities shaping our communities today. The conversations happen at the crossroads of lived experience, identity, and service, and the future we are building together.
