  • Making Sense of Racism in a world that pretends it doesn’t exist

    Making Sense of Racism in a world that pretends it doesn’t exist
    Aug 21 2025
    In this episode, I dive into the hard truth: racism didn’t disappear just because society decided to stop acknowledging it. Too often, we hear “that doesn’t happen anymore” or “we’ve moved past that,” while real people still face systemic barriers, microaggressions, and cultural denial. This conversation unpacks how racism continues to exist in hidden, unspoken ways—and why it’s critical that we refuse to let silence erase the truth.

  • Unseen and Unheard: My First Big Purchase and the Questions That Still Haunt Me

    Unseen and Unheard: My First Big Purchase and the Questions That Still Haunt Me
    Jul 9 2025
    In this personal story, I recount my first major purchase after college—a simple furniture buy that turned into a moment of deep internal conflict. Was I being profiled? Was I invisible because I was young… or Black… or both?

    This isn’t just about a trip to Sears in 1992—it’s about what it means to exist in a space where you’re supposed to belong but don’t feel seen.

    Listen in as I break down the emotions, the questions, and how this moment shaped my perspective as a future discrimination attorney and judge.

  • My HBCU Dreams, My PWI Reality: A Gen X Story

    My HBCU Dreams, My PWI Reality: A Gen X Story
    Jul 2 2025
    In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on my experience as a Black Generation Xer attending a predominantly white university in the years after the civil rights movement. While my dreams were shaped by stories of HBCUs, my reality landed me in a space where I was one of the few — constantly navigating identity, isolation, and subtle forms of exclusion. From culture shock to classroom dynamics, I unpack what it meant to pursue higher education where representation was nearly nonexistent and support often felt just out of reach. This is more than a college story — it’s a lesson in survival, self-discovery, and reclaiming pride in spaces not built for us.In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on my experience as a Black Generation Xer attending a predominantly white university in the years after the civil rights movement.
