Rise & Love, Family: It is I, Xavier, but some of you may know me as "xInYaFaceDotCom". I am a Black Millennial Man, born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, with my roots now firmly planted in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. I am a husband, father, community member, and entrepreneur as well as an advocate, educator, and coach. All that said, I am still trying to get my 💩 together. I need to warm up my body for regular daily activities. Sometimes my wife and kids get on my first and last nerves. I am constantly balancing my fluctuating capacity to "people" with my deep yearning for community and connection. I reflect, cry, laugh, cuss, complain, appreciate, stumble, overcome, grow, freestyle, create, and share knowing that it helps me and hoping that it connects with you. I'm glad that you came to visit, and I hope you stick around for a while. Love & Peace

    Players F*** Up Too

    What's good, Family? Let's just pretend like I've been here the whole time and didn't just resurface from another extended hiatus. You remember that old chestnut about messing up something with potential and then looking back on it with regret? No? Neither do I. However, I recently reflected on some moves I made on my creative journey that didn't pan out the way I hoped. Tune in. Tap in. Something else active that starts with a T. @xinyafacedotcom across social media Until next time... Sah sah sah, Peace

    Rise & Love, Family. It is I, xInYaFaceDotCom, and I utilize this platform to reflect, cry, laugh, cuss, complain, appreciate, stumble, overcome, grow, freestyle, create, and share knowing that it helps me and hoping that it connects with you. [Imaginary Character voiced by Me]: "Hey, Mister Postman, what you thinking about?" [Me]: "I'm thinking about land ownership, especially in the expansive rural area in which I happen to be delivering. I'm also reminiscing about physical closeness to loved ones, and how I just don't feel like I get enough of that these days. And mail, I'm also thinking about mail."

    For Us, By Us (EP. 031)

    Rise and Love, Family. In this episode, I’m reflecting on recent community building efforts that I’m engaging in with local community members, the importance of mission, vision, and goal alignment, and how I’m trying to navigate what I perceive as some potential misalignment.

    Feed The Connection (EP. 030)

    Rise and Love, Family. In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it really means to build community when conflict, friction, and messiness come up. I talk through the difference between calling people out and calling them in—and why accountability, context, care, and restoration matter if we actually want community to be sustainable. I don’t expect perfection from anyone — I damned sure don’t fit the bill — I want folks to stay connected while each of us continues to grow.

    Notes on Notes (EP. 029)

    Rise and Love, Family. In this episode, I’m checking in from a little neighborhood park to reflect on the personal development framework I’ve been building and rebuilding over the past few years. What started as a digital system inside Notion—organized around goals, projects, tasks, and areas of life—worked well for a while. But over time, I began questioning my reliance on digital tools and started craving something more tactile and creative. After a hand injury and surgery forced me to slow down, I found myself missing writing, sketching, and journaling. That experience nudged me toward a new iteration of my system—this time centered around notebooks, reflection practices, and a framework connecting my values, priorities, projects, goals, habits, and tasks. I’m still experimenting and iterating, but I’m learning to take smaller bites and give myself more grace along the way. If you’re building your own personal development system, I’d love to hear what’s working for you.

    Small Ball (EP. 028)

    Rise & Love, Family. I had all these intentions for what I wanted to talk about / do on one of my few days off from work, but things didn't necessarily work out the way that I intended. Once I shed some of those expectations and channeled what was really on my heart, it came together quite naturally. Tune in for another one of my personal self-reflections followed by some encouragement for you. Please engage with me by sharing your insights, reflections, and other thoughts down in the comments.

    xInYaFaceDotCom Meets Oregon Freddy (EP. 027)

    I was on a roll Thursday, September 4, 2025. My new project, the Willamette Block Party, aired on KMUZ radio in the morning. I had the day off of work and recorded what I thought was an amazing solo podcast episode (spoiler alert -- it wasn't). I also had the pleasure of sitting down with "Oregon Freddy" Ruiz Jr. after running into him at our mutual co-working space. He has roots in Salem, some great insight into what our region needs, and a can-do attitude. Let me know what ideas you have to bring together our Willamette Valley community or if you're interested in sponsoring others. Don't forget to stop by and show @oregonfreddy some love: https://www.instagram.com/oregonfreddydj/# https://www.oregonfreddy.com If you feel the vibes, please like, comment, subscribe, and share it far and wide!

    Let’s Go to the Willamette Block Party (EP. 026)

    Rise and Love, Family! I’m sorry I’ve been away, but I promise I’ve been working on something special. I was invited to be a part of a new project with a podcast serving as a platform to engage with the Black Community in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. I haven’t just been invited to participate in front of the camera, but also behind the camera and behind the scenes in truly building out this new venture. I’ve loved being able to flex my creative muscles in collaboration with others in benefit to our shared community. Tune in to the first episode of the Willamette Block Party and stay tuned for more content from that project being share on this feed. Make sure to follow @willametteblockparty on Instagram, subscribe to the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts (we’re working on sharing to additional platforms), and subscribe to the YouTube channel for monthly podcast episodes and additional video content. Episode Summary: Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Willamette Block Party! Join your hosts Ray White, Allie Saunders, and Xavier “xInYaFaceDotCom” Hudson as they kick off their new podcast dedicated to highlighting "ALL THINGS BLACK within the Willamette Valley." From first impressions of Oregon to deep reflections on cultural connection, belonging, and goals for the future, this conversation sets the tone for what the Block Party is all about: joy, honesty, and community-building in the place we call home. ***************************************************************** If you feel the vibes, please like, comment, subscribe, and share it far and wide!
