    The Rebound: Life After the Game with Leslie Johnson

    Former Division I and professional basketball standout Leslie Johnson joins Terrell Talks to share her powerful journey from being the #1 ranked center in the country to leading Purdue University to its first-ever Big Ten Championship, Final Four appearance (the first appearance for any women’s basketball team in Indiana history). After competing professionally overseas and with the Washington Mystics, Leslie quietly battled depression and stepped away from the game.  Today, as founder of Hushed No More Presents, she’s turning pain into purpose—supporting mental health, healing, and reentry nationwide. We sit down with Leslie on the eve of her launching the Rebound to Reentry Initiative next during NBA All-Start weekend in Los Angeles. Join us for a conversation about identity, resilience, and life beyond the spotlight.  Time to tap in Talkers!!  Learn more about Leslie and her mental health advocacy at https://hushednomorepresents.org Want to be a guest?  https://blackdreamcompany.com/contact At Terrell Talks ..

  2. The History of Black Indianapolis & Beyond w/ Wildstyle Paschall

    The History of Black Indianapolis & Beyond w/ Wildstyle Paschall

    In the wake of the announcement that Martin University—Indianapolis’s only predominantly Black institution of higher education—is pausing operations, I sat down with Wildstyle Paschall for a necessary and timely conversation about the history of Black Indianapolis and how it continues to shape the city we live in today. Wildstyle is a local activist, community organizer, musician, and historian whose deep knowledge of Black history, culture, and resistance offers critical context for understanding the present moment. Together, we explore the legacy of Black institutions, the ongoing struggle for Black equity, and what the loss—or pause—of spaces like Martin University means for Black communities in Indianapolis and beyond. Our conversation also weaves through music, art, culture, and storytelling, unpacking how creative expression has always been a tool for survival, resistance, and connection within Black communities. This episode is packed with history, insight, and perspective you won’t want to miss. Wildstyle is also the co-host of The Black Briefing Podcast alongside Samantha Douglass. At Terrell Talks ..

    SEASON 3, EPISODE 2 TRAILER

    Business, Belief, and Strategic Growth w/ Nicole Karney

    On this episode of Terrell Talks, I’m joined by the brilliant Nicole Kearney for a powerful conversation on business, belief, and strategic growth. Nicole’s journey is a masterclass in trusting your voice and honoring your vision—from her roots as a writer, to launching Sip & Share Wines, and ultimately opening Sip Easy Indy, one of Indianapolis’ newest and most dynamic gathering spaces. Nicole is one of only two Black-owned wine companies in the state of Indiana and one of the most successful Black women wine creators in the country. But her story goes far beyond the bottle. We talk about what it takes to bet on yourself, build with intention, and grow a brand that reflects who you truly are. This conversation is honest, inspiring, and deeply affirming for anyone navigating entrepreneurship, creativity, or the courage it takes to believe in yourself when the path isn’t clear.

    From Grief to Grace: Honoring Anthony, Healing Openly

    What does it mean to grieve out loud? To take the unimaginable pain of losing someone you love—and transform it into a mission for healing, community, and purpose? In this powerful episode of Terrell Talks, I sit down with Aarin and Naima, the sister and mother of Anthony Brown—a vibrant young soul whose life was taken far too soon. Together, they share how their personal loss gave rise to Self-Love Sanctuary, a movement driven by healing, community building, and unapologetic self-love. We talk about the emotional layers of grief, the challenges of mourning openly, and the power of choosing purpose in the aftermath of pain. This episode is a tribute to Anthony’s legacy—and a testament to the resilience of those who carry his light forward. 📌 Whether you're navigating your own grief or supporting someone through theirs, this conversation is a reminder that healing is possible—and love transcends death.  To learn more about Self-Love Sanctuary and support their organization, visit the Self-Love Sanctuary Website. https://selflovesanctuary.us/ At Terrell Talks ..
