    “The Idea of Choice” Part 1 with Amma

    In this episode I tell part 1 of my academic story. Hi my name is Amma and I am the creator and host of Now College Podcast. I take a trip down memory lane to share my college experience and why I started this podcast. Before entering college, I just knew I was prepared and I knew what to expect. I am the last of four children in my family and they all went to college and graduated. In addition to this, the eldest two had graduate degrees as well as my Father, who was a professor and later on, became the chairman of his Department. I grew up around individuals in academia my whole life. Therefore, obtain a bachelors degree seemed completely conceivable. After my first semester I soon found out, I was beyond wrong. That going through any part of academia is an accomplishment and not always smooth sailing. I couldn't believe that with all that was setup for me and all of my privileges, and resources I was still ill prepared for my college experience.  Take a listen to Part 1 of my college journey and what I soon learned to be the true meaning of choice.

    "Trust Your Instincts" with Mario Andrew Fierro

    In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Mario Fierro. He is an editor and videographer by day and by night. It's truly his passion. However, he seeks to hang up his videographer badge after one day going on tour with the one and only Cardi B. Why her specifically? Well he's already her personal videographer, so going on tour with her as part of the crew is not too far-fetched. Mario just wrapped up his Master's Degree in editing, from AFI just one day before this episode was published. Listen to his journey so far, and what he went through that would ultimately add to his talent and character today. Click this link to support and subscribed to the podcast.
