Episode 3: Conversation with Rob Ukawuba and Amir Bell
06.06.2020: JT has a candid conversation about the current landscape of race, injustice and inequality. JT starts the episode by recapping what we know from three of the most recent senseless killings - Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd. JT then has a candid conversation with his guests (friends and former teammates), Rob Ukawuba (NJIT '17) and Amir Bell (Princeton '18) to discuss growing up in America as a black man, peaceful protests, racial profiling that persists today, and the perception of a black athlete being seen as "one of the good ones." Throughout the conversation we also dive into hopeful steps forward - small positive changes that are being implemented.
Powerful listen. -
Episode 1: Italian Grandma
04.04.2020:
JT asks his grandmother questions ranging from topics on her childhood, growing up in the Great Depression, career success, marriage, transition to parenthood, what actually is important in relationships, and of course her favorite Italian dishes that only an 83-year old Italian grandmother could describe how to cook. Margaret Timmes offers unique perspective on life and is kind enough to share her wisdom with the younger generation. Enjoy!
