    WNBA Vet Lynetta "Kizer" Shares Her Comeback Catalyst for the First Time Ever!
    Jul 14 2025

    In this powerful episode of Behind the Creative, former WNBA star Lynetta Kizer opens up, for the first time ever anywhere, about her deeply personal journey through addiction, recovery, and reclaiming her life on and off the court.

    Known for her strength, skill, and spirit, Lynetta’s story goes far beyond basketball. She shares what it took to confront her truth, fight her way back to herself, and redefine what it means to bounce back in the public eye. We talk about the pressure of professional sports, identity beyond the game, and what it means to truly heal while still performing at the highest level.

    Whether you’re a fan of the WNBA, a creative navigating your own comeback, or someone who’s ever had to start over, this conversation will move you.

    Khadija Speer: How To Pivot for Success as a Creative
    Jun 16 2025

    In this episode of Behind the Creative, Dr. Kristelle Beecher sit down with Khadija Speer: international actress, creative director, and collaborator of Donald Glover — to unpack what it truly takes to scaffold your own path in an industry that often asks you to wait for permission. With her signature clarity and soul, Khadija shares how her global experiences, commitment to personal evolution, and unwavering creative vision have shaped a career that defies traditional lanes.

    We talk about what it means to live between worlds, the tension between visibility and authenticity, and why resilience isn’t just a trait, it’s a spiritual practice. Khadija also reflects on the internal architecture required to not just make it, but to build something that reflects who you really are.

    This is a conversation for the creatives who are tired of waiting for a seat at the table, and ready to build their own.
