    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.

    Isis King: America's Next Top Model, With Love & Owning Your Power

    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.

    This week on At the Table with Greg & Elliott, Greg Mathis Jr. and Elliott Cooper sit down with media personality and journalist Archie Jay, creator of The Arch Effect, co-host of ReKap with Colt Paulsen, and Vice President of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists. Archie opens up about his journey from Midwest radio to digital media, the evolving role of Black journalists in the creator economy, and how traditional journalism can coexist with podcasts, YouTube, and social platforms. The conversation explores integrity, trust, and visibility in media, especially as audiences increasingly turn to independent voices over legacy news. The episode dives into pop culture and entertainment, including Archie’s work covering the Kardashians, Bravo and Real Housewives franchises, and his candid thoughts on figures like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Brandy, Byron Allen, Tyler Perry, Andy Cohen, and Ryan Murphy. Greg and Elliott also unpack how capitalism, branding, and algorithms have reshaped reality TV and celebrity culture. Later, the table gets personal as Archie discusses grief, mental health, dating, authenticity online, and the pressure creators face when numbers don’t match impact. The episode wraps with a lively round of “Be Honest, Don’t Hold Back,” touching on redemption, power, and legacy in Black culture—plus a Chef’s Kiss or Miss food review. A thoughtful, funny, and wide-ranging conversation about media, culture, creativity, and showing up with purpose.
