    Tell the Story with Dr. Leslie Ekpe

    On this episode I sit down with Dr. Leslie Ekpe. Dr. Leslie let's us know that your purpose has people attached to it. There are people who helped you along the way and people you'll need to help. Leslie reminds us to tell their names and their stories because they matter too.

    Through qualitative methodologies, Leslie conducts research on anti-racism, DEI, and racial equity by analyzing the challenges encountered by marginalized peoples, as well as investigating equitable practices and policies for institutions and societies to implement and sustain.

TBH... More Than I Expected...

As someone who isn’t huge on podcasts unless I’m learning something practical, I couldn’t predict how interested I’d be in the episodes Dr. Jas has been dropping. I legit didn’t know how much I’d look forward to listening to so many different people take a bite out of their definition of purpose, describe the taste for themselves, and walk us through their experience. That’s hard! Purpose is so generic, so vague and often taboo, usually religion-based and pressure-inducing. And I’ve found this podcast to be refreshingly different from all of that. It seems to want to invite all walks of life into a discussion that normalizes defining purpose for yourSELF, and not for the sake of others. I love it. One thing I do wish is to maybe hear from more prominent figures in society and random people that aren’t her friends. I think those conversations would be super interesting as well. Overall this gets five stars, and I don’t like to give 5 stars so easily... awesome discussions.

What a start!

Dr. Wise has launched an amazing podcast. The content is great and so needed during these uncertain times. Thank you for inspiring your listeners to consider their purpose by listening to the experiences of those in your circle. Looking forward to more!!
