    Ep84: The Road Less Traveled w/ Antwan Eady, Emerging Author and Founder of BlackCreatorsinKidLit

    The conversation that you will witness today is a dream come true, and one that I’ve been looking forward to since I began this podcast! I don’t “follow” a lot of people- but today you will meet the FIRST person I began to follow in college, my Orientation Ambassador/ fellow greek/ Emerging Scholars colleague whose last name was the same as my own. Antwan Eady is  BLACK BOY BRILLIANCE in every single way, and today we get to dive into who and what has shaped Antwan into who he is today! Reigning from the backwoods of Garnett, South Carolina, Antwan opens up and shares with us in his first ever podcast episode, his newest journey to becoming a published author!  While we get to celebrate with Antwan what he has coming down the pipeline, we learn about what deeply drives Antwan to never settle in his life, which includes several losses that were defining moments in his life. We’re talking about grief, authenticity, mentorship, exposure and so much more!  EADYYYYYYY! Our official call on campus to one another in our Clemson days, in the year of my greatest growth in life, it is an honor to share this conversation as the final interview of 2020!  You are a phenomenal man-- and the Hometown Hero we all needed!

    Ep83: Living Life with No Excuses w/ Georgina 'Joy' Dukes of JoyofRomeo.com

    Today is another episode too many years in the making from someone who was a New Geechee FIRST! This young lady was the first person to contribute to the New Geechee blog with “Healing the Health of Southern Hospitality”, back in May of 2018!  Meet boss mom extraordinaire Georgina Dukes, affectionately known as JOY, who is showing the world how to balance motherhood, career, and self care!  Born and raised in the great town of Monetta, SC, Joy learned early and quickly about how to survive the negativity of the world and the value of being a member of the community! Her resilience story begins as early as elementary school and only continues to strengthen when college puts her face to face with events that would change her life, forever!  An incredible mom of a brilliant and fearless black boy named Romeo, her ultimate goal in life is to HEAL, and she is doing just that through her blog JoyofRomeo.com, which has gone VIRAL this year due to a entry titled “ When My Beautiful Black Boy Grows from Cute to a Threat”, her new collaboration with AllMomDoes blog,  her full time career working with UniteUS, and her new business JoyofRomeo Transportation, which employs those in her hometown of Monetta, SC. Talk about a boss?  All of this before the age of 30! I'm partial to Joy’s illumination because she’s a Delta, more specifically my neo, who I saw outwork us all and live out the “No excuses mentality”, and she’s a Taurus, so there’s that!  Oh Joy--- you make it all look easy but i know that you worked for every single thing you earned and its been beautiful watching you continue to grow these last 10 years!

    Ep82: Just Keep Living w/ Charity Bailey, Media Personality & Host of 'Girl, We Need To Talk'

    It's the holiday season, and I wanted to bring a special episode to us all as this year has been one for the books. We’re grieving!!! And I want to remind you that in your grief, seen and unseen, that you are not alone. Today you all will get the chance to hear from television host and media personality Ms. Charity Bailey. You may have seen her smile on RightThisMinute as she tells stories that move the culture forward, bringing her personality and unapologetic black womanhood to the world.  What you don’t know, is behind that smile, is a woman grieving the loss of the father whose journey to television has been far from conventional. And that’s what we’re discussing today, her YMP journey as a journalist whose gone from CA to NC to AZ,  and how she turned her pain into passion with her new web series on Youtube “Girl, We Need To Talk” In knowing Charity for the last 3 years, one thing sticks out most to me, something my grandmother always reminded me of—KEEP LIVING.  Life is one hell of a ride that if we are willing to take,which will give us beautiful and not so beautiful experiences to learn from. Never stop learning YMPs. Never stop pursuing your dreams. Never let life take you all the way down.  In the words of a great songwriter Donnie McClurkin, we fall down, but we get up. I’m so excited for you to join our conversation and pray that your heart is healed as you join in.  Check out Season One of “Girl, We Need To Talk” with Charity Bailey on Youtube! www.youtube.com/charitybailey Find Charity Bailey on social!
