GrUB The GrUBcast

Today's episode features my good friend and master barber Michael "Coop" Cooper as he talks about his journey getting to where he is today.

From leaving NC with just a bag and the clothes on his back to elevating his craft and brand in NY, Coop drops gems all throughout the episode on his growth and outlook on life. Best way to start off season 5.  Check it out and let me know what you think!

Today’s episode features Brandon Blackwell and we discuss his journey to becoming an occupational therapist and starting his own training program: B3lite training.
 
 
Now per usual, there are gems everywhere here. Throughout the whole convo we touched on the serendipitous story of how he made it to Ohio state, how hard it was to step away from a sport that he loved and the difficult pursuit of balance within his life. Whether you’re an athlete or not, there is so much to gain from the rawness of this episode.

For this episode of the Growing Up Black podcast, we speak to Jonathan Weber about his pursuit towards writing and acting, growing up as the only black person in his family, and the importance media plays in helping young people of color discover who they are.
 
We all have different starting points as we navigate our way through life. Some of us may be born into wealth, others in poverty. Some grow up with all members of our family in the same neighborhood while others may not even have the benefit of knowing half of their family history. But through stories and media we often have the privilege of taking a look at life through a multitude of different perspectives. In today’s episode, Jon and I talk about the role tv father figures played in his life, his journey towards discovering and defining his blackness, and why he believes storytelling is one of the most effective ways we can understand each other as human beings. Jon is one of the most charismatic people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and I know that just listening to this episode is bound to brighten your day.

Season 4 is here! Happy GrUBday fam!
 
For the 45th episode of the Growing Up Black podcast, we speak to Chiara Richardson about her journey as an artist, discovering what your passions are, and learning to be OK with being perfectly imperfect along the way.
 
When discovering who we are, life can sometimes seem daunting, often because we dont necessarily “know” our purpose. Everybody seems to want to find a side hustle but struggle with both where to start and how to keep the momentum going once you do. In today’s episode, Chiara and I talk about her work as a spoken word poet and actress, the necessity of sometimes stepping away from your art, and battling that incessant need to always be “perfect”. This episode comes complete with a plethora of motivational gems, real raw honesty, and even a few ad-libs by the multi-talented Joan Lyric Leslie. Great way to jump into the weekend.
