    Living with Lupus: Wendy Rodgers on Survival, Advocacy & Healthcare Bias

    In this deeply moving episode of At the Table with Greg & Elliott, Greg Mathis Jr. and Elliott Cooper sit down with Wendy Rodgers, M.Ed, MPH, Director of Care and Support Services at the Lupus Foundation of America, for a powerful conversation about survival, advocacy, and purpose. Wendy shares her journey living with lupus — a disease that began showing signs in her teens but went undiagnosed for years. After being dismissed by doctors and navigating medical bias, her lupus progressed to kidney failure at just 27 years old, ultimately leading to dialysis and a life-saving kidney transplant. She speaks candidly about the physical toll of autoimmune disease, the emotional weight of not being believed, and the financial devastation that chronic illness can bring. The conversation expands beyond medicine into healthcare disparities affecting Black women, the importance of self-advocacy, and why participation in clinical research is critical for equitable treatment outcomes. Wendy also discusses faith, boundaries, mental health, and how learning to say “no” became part of her healing process. With honesty and wisdom, Wendy reminds us that while lupus is unpredictable and often invisible, strength, community, and education can change outcomes. Her story is not just about illness — it’s about resilience, purpose, and fighting to live fully. For lupus resources and support, visit lupus.org.

    In this powerful and uplifting episode of At the Table with Greg & Elliott, Greg Mathis Jr. and Elliott Cooper sit down with trailblazing model, actress, and activist Isis King for an honest conversation about courage, growth, and stepping fully into your power. Isis made history as the first openly transgender woman to compete on America’s Next Top Model, forever changing visibility for trans women in mainstream media. She opens up about navigating national television during a very different cultural moment, the pressures of transitioning publicly, and what it meant to carry representation on her shoulders at just 21 years old. From her early days in ballroom culture inspired by Paris Is Burning, to acting roles in When They See Us, The L Word: Generation Q, and Amazon’s With Love, Isis reflects on how trans representation has evolved — and where there’s still work to be done. The conversation shifts to confidence and self-protection as Isis shares how training in Taekwondo transformed her sense of safety and personal power, helping her reclaim control after difficult experiences. She also speaks candidly about dating in today’s culture, being demisexual, protecting her energy, and learning to choose connection over validation. Throughout the episode, Isis reminds us that joy, strength, and manifestation are practices — not destinations. Whether discussing mentorship, Marvel superheroes like Storm, or building financial stability for herself and her family, her message is clear: true power starts from within. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, growth, and self-definition. Follow Isis King: @msisisking Subscribe, rate, and share At the Table with Greg & Elliott wherever you get your podcasts.

    Jeffrey T.D. Wallace on Youth Power, Jobs, and Building an Economy That Works

    This week, Greg Mathis Jr. and Elliott Cooper sit down with Jeffrey T.D. Wallace, President & CEO of LeadersUp, to talk about what it really takes to build economic mobility—especially for young people who’ve been locked out of opportunity. Jeff breaks down how LeadersUp began (and why “not in school, not working” doesn’t mean “lazy”), what he calls “power-building” with young people, and how mentorship, storytelling, and policy all connect to workforce outcomes. The conversation also hits big-picture questions: equity vs. equality, the “benefits cliff,” why financial success doesn’t solve your problems, and how the shift into an AI-driven economy could either widen gaps—or create new lanes—depending on who gets prepared now. Plus: the crew connects the dots to what’s coming to Los Angeles—All-Star Weekend, the World Cup, the Super Bowl, and the 2028 Olympics—and why LA needs a real workforce plan so local communities aren’t left watching money flow right past them.
