We talk about everything: youth, city life, or culture. But also, let's talk about the Hood. Like no place else, there's is a reason why people mention us in their legislation and music. Why do some seem to mimic or mock our way of life and being? The Hood is a special place. Let's talk about why. We talk about education, leadership, systems that influence the Hood. Let's unpack.

    16 year old shot and killed downtown. Many young people traumatized.

    I recognize media outlets write headlines to draw attention and or inform the audience. I do this in respect to the family of Seandell, who lost his life this weekend in Millennium Park. Whether you are listening, reading, watching or not— we honor his life, and your family.

    Right or Wrong. The Difference is a Choice

    Maybe the cycle of violence will never end. Will it? What if I want to change? I don’t want to keep living like this.

    Will Smith smack. Trust me there’s connection to Hood Heroes for sure.

    The world had free shots at the Smith family, from Willow and her hair to Jada and hers. Everything in between. Here I share a conversation I had with one of the first students to be employed with Hood Heroes, as it relates to this current event. Forgive me for the beeping you hear in the back occasionally. I’ll change that battery before the next recording. Listen in, share. All feedback is welcome.

    Walking the Tight Rope

    I’m learning some things about balance right now, and they’re challenging me more than I’d like. But I know balance keeps us walking upright. Balance keeps a a car on the road and driving straight. Balance makes for a smooth flight. Turbulence may come and it will be uncomfortable. But in order that we might reach our destination, balance is necessary and it will certainly get us there.

    A Black Boy and A Gun

    Here I can share a situation that took place. I believe it to be one that resonates with many educators, parents, family members, and neighbors in the Hood. This episode may stir up some things for you. It may trigger some. I want to acknowledge that. I encourage you to listen and wrestle with these things as I have. Take a listen. Comment and share. Any and all feedback is welcome. Follow the Hood Heroes podcast for more.
