    Internalized Identity Issues Part 2 (feat. Nikkie Saige & Serena Speight)

    Last episode, my friends Nikkie, Serena, and I discussed the vastly different ways we conceptualize our racial identities despite all being black. Though we shared many stories, there was so much we weren't able to cover that we had to return for a second conversation. Today's episode focuses on our experiences with racial hostility, code switching, and social comfort around different racial groups. If you enjoyed the episode, please leave a rating and review!

    Internalized Identity Issues (feat. Nikkie Saige & Serena Speight)

    As the month designated to celebrating Black history closes, I thought it appropriate to explore some of the various ways Black people come to understand their racial identity. I'm joined by my friends Nikkie and Serena, both of whom have backgrounds that have caused their experiences and perceptions of blackness to different drastically from my own, making for an insightful conversation.

    Say No to Niching Down (feat. Edosa Osemwedgie)

    "A jack of all trades is a master of none... but oftentimes better than the master of one." When this quote is repeated, the second half is often left out. While specialization is valuable, having varied skills and interests can be incredibly powerful. Today's guest, Edosa Osemwedgie, is someone who has decided to pursue his many passions concurrently, which we discuss along with the importance of media literacy, masculinity, faith, and more.  If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a rating and review of the show!

    Armchair Psychoanalysis

    Therapy isn’t for everybody, but it can often be a great way to discover deep rooted thought and behavior patterns that affect your life. This has been the experience of my close friend Nellisha, who started therapy this year, and myself, who's been seeing the same therapist for nearly a decade. During this episode we both share our perspectives around therapy, followed by a discussion of 3 questions that I've posed to my Instagram followers via story polls recently.

    The Wait Will Be Worth It (feat. Echezona)

    Last summer, I went to BAMS Fest in Boston, ran into one of the most prominent artists in the Boston music scene and told him I wanted to get him on the pod. Over six months later, we both happened to be in LA and made that a reality. Echezona is a Nigerian American Afrobeats and Hiphop artists hailing from Dorchester with his sights set on going global. Our conversation is full of insights into his foundations as an artist, the evolution of his sound, and a peak into his upcoming album, Enyi.

    The Black Table: A Reflection on Adolescent Development in a Hostile School Environment

    Adolescence is a challenging time in life for everyone, but coming of age in an environment where you feel you aren't welcome but can't leave is a whole different beast. From seventh through twelfth grade, I, along with my close friends Tchorzky and Benjy, attended a private, all boys Catholic school where the student population was over 80% white. This racial composition forced us to navigate some complicated dynamics and in this episode, we reflect on how being placed in such a position affected our development as young men.
