The Curve with Christopher Christopher Stuart Taylor

Well, it's a sports and race story, so you know I'm going to give my two cents. But not necessarily in the way you'd think.

Give it a listen. Then listen to Jay-Z's The Story of OJ.

This episode outlines my "Roots & Routes: Knowledge Mobilization Project." It's a project I've been working on for a while and explains many of my travels, my 'research outputs,' and my general focus on my 'purpose' of what I do with-in and with-out academia.

This episode is really about a bit of self-reflection on why we do what we do, and why we need others (white systems) to validate what we do.

And define who we are.

Been a while since I did a sport specific episode, so had some time to collect my thoughts and share them here. This episode focuses around the trade(s) from the Raptors in January 2024. Also gives a little perspective (from me) on just enjoying the games.

It's been 15 cities in 6 countries in the past 6 weeks (with a brief interlude back 'home' at the end of November). Just here wrapping up some quasi-final thoughts on Black identity, Northern Ghana, and shoot, I even talk about my journey with tenure.

Visited the Cape Coast yesterday and really got me thinking about what plagues us in this world - a lack of humanity.
