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! Be sure to connect with Antwan and stay updated on his book projects! www.antwaneady.com Find Joy Dukes on social!
