(Midlife Malaise) \nJen Mann had what appeared to have the perfect life: a successful career as a bestselling author and award-winning blogger\, a devoted husband\, teenage kids who weren’t total jerks\, and a badass minivan. So imagine her surprise when\, at age 47\, a midlife crisis kicked her straight in the ladybits. She wrote a raw and vulnerable blog post in the middle of the night and started a movement to create a new space where middle-aged women can share openly and honestly with one another. \nJen Mann is best known for her wildly popular and hysterical blog People I Want to Punch in the Throat. She has been described by many as Erma Bombeck―with f-bombs. Jen is known for her hilarious rants and funny observations on everything from parenting to gift giving to celebrity behavior to politics to Elves on Shelves. She does not suffer fools lightly. Jen is the author of the New York Times bestseller People I Want to Punch in the Throat: Competitive Crafters\, Drop-Off Despots\, and Other Suburban Scourges\, which was a Finalist for a Goodreads Choice Award. Her latest book is Midlife Bites: Anyone Else Falling Apart\, Or Is It Just Me?\, which was a Nominee for a Goodreads Choice Award. She is also the mastermind behind the New York Times bestselling I Just Want to Pee Alone series.

SUMMARY:KC Oasis Sunday Gathering – Featured speaker: Niki Aktipis\, "Intersectionality: Science and Its Historical Impact on Black Bodies"
DESCRIPTION:Musical guest: Wyatt West (https://www.facebook.com/wyattwestmusic)\nCommunity moment: TBA\nFeatured speaker: Niki Aktipis\, “Intersectionality: Science and Its Historical Impact on Black Bodies” \nHave you ever heard the name Henrietta Lacks? Do you know what happened in the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment? Were you ever taught about how gynecological practices were created? Why does any of this matter? \nIn this presentation we will discuss the implications of scientific discoveries and their impact on Black bodies. Many of the medical scientific breakthroughs that have saved countless lives have a dark history rooted in inequality and\, in some areas\, unequivocally inhumane. Within the U.S. education system\, most of this history is completely absent from science curriculums or has been whitewashed at best. We will take time to review some of these stories and the cultural implications of hiding this history from ourselves. \nAbout Niki:\nMx. Niki M Aktipis\, MSc\, MSE (They/Them/Theirs) \nAn Ohio native\, Niki has been a Kansas City\, Kansas\, resident since late 2017. Prior to landing in the great city split between two states\, Niki received their BSc in Biopsychology from The University of Michigan (2013) and their MSc in Conservation Biology from the University of Derby (2015). As a conservationist\, their work has taken them all over the world and across the USA. Highlights include their work with leatherback sea turtles in Costa Rica and desert tortoise monitoring in the Mojave desert. In 2022\, Niki completed their two-year commitment to Teach for America along with their MSE in Secondary Education from Fort Hays State University. They strongly believe that to be a scientist also means to be an educator. They are currently a proud life science teacher for Wyandotte High School. Niki calls Kansas home with their mini urban zoo. \nLocation: UMKC Royall Hall 111\n800 E 52nd St.\, Kansas City\, MO 64110\nFree Sunday parking in the parking garage at 52nd and Rockhill Rd.

SUMMARY:KC Oasis Volunteers at Micah Ministry
DESCRIPTION:MASKS ARE REQUIRED. \n*Note: It’s okay if you can’t get there until 5:15-5:30. \nAt Kansas City Oasis our values are “People are more important than beliefs\,” “human hands solve human problems\,” and “meaning comes from making a difference.” In that spirit\, we partner with Micah Ministry to help feed and clothe those in need. \nMicah Ministry serves hundreds of people every Monday evening from 5:15-7:15. They help anyone\, regardless of race\, gender\, religious (or nonreligious) affiliation\, sex\, sexual orientation\, or any other trait. Come join us in helping our less fortunate neighbors. \nVolunteers will greet the guests\, serve food\, offer beverages\, fill clothing requests and help with litter control. If there are enough volunteers\, there may be the option to sort clothing.\nThe Micah Ministry is a religious organization\, which means that the event is started by an optional group prayer at the beginning. We have never been pressured to pray with them and they have always been glad to have us participate in their group. \nDue to COVID\, masks are required\, and the event is currently being held outside instead of in the dining hall. \nPlease meet in the parking lot behind the church\, where we will get our volunteer assignments. \nBy participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (http://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).
