    My HBCU Dreams, My PWI Reality: A Gen X Story

    In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on my experience as a Black Generation Xer attending a predominantly white university in the years after the civil rights movement. While my dreams were shaped by stories of HBCUs, my reality landed me in a space where I was one of the few — constantly navigating identity, isolation, and subtle forms of exclusion. From culture shock to classroom dynamics, I unpack what it meant to pursue higher education where representation was nearly nonexistent and support often felt just out of reach. This is more than a college story — it’s a lesson in survival, self-discovery, and reclaiming pride in spaces not built for us.In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on my experience as a Black Generation Xer attending a predominantly white university in the years after the civil rights movement.

    Why Generation X Wasn’t Ready for Change — But Adapted Anyway

    Generation X was raised to believe that military service, skilled trades, or a college degree would guarantee stability and success. But by the time we entered adulthood, the world had already changed—and no one gave us a new map. In this episode of IN THE KNOW with Tony Reeves, I break down why Generation X wasn’t truly prepared for the shifting economic, cultural, and social landscape we inherited. From the decline of unions to the skyrocketing cost of education, we were navigating a world our parents never had to—and doing it in real time. This isn’t about blame. It’s about recognition. And it’s about honoring the resilience of a generation that adapted anyway. 🎧 Tune in to explore: The three “guaranteed” paths Gen X was raised to followHow rapid changes left us unsupportedWhy Gen X became the bridge generationWhat it really means to adapt when the rules change mid-game Whether you’re Gen X or just curious about how one generation learned to pivot under pressure—this episode is for you.

    Gen X in the Middle – Raised in the Fallout, Bridging the Divide

    Generation X is often called “the forgotten generation,” but we are far from irrelevant. We are the gateway—raised in the aftermath of powerful revolutions, yet coming of age just as the digital world exploded. In this podcast, I share raw and real reflections on what it means to grow up as a Gen Xer: self-sufficient, media-grounded, trauma-aware, and always bridging the divide between Boomers and Millennials.  If you’re Gen X, you’ll feel seen. If you’re not, you’ll understand us a whole lot better after this. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/in-the-know-with-tony-reeves--5596987/support.

    When 40 Changed Everything: Health, Brotherhood, and the Wake-Up Call

    “When 40 Changed Everything” is a personal reflection on the moment I realized my health had to take center stage. In this powerful episode, I share how a routine doctor’s visit in my early 40s — and the words of a culturally aware physician — opened my eyes to the importance of proactive care, especially for men of color. As friends around me started facing life-altering health events, we unknowingly created a brotherhood rooted in shared experience and accountability. This isn’t about fear. It’s about responsibility, community, and choosing to live better — together. If you’re entering your 40s, already there, or supporting someone who is, this conversation is for you.

    Turning 40 wasn’t just another birthday — it was a turning point.

    Surviving and Being Raised After Jim Crow as Generation X

    In this powerful follow-up to “What They Didn’t Teach Us,” Anthony Reeves reflects on the unique experience of being raised as a Generation X child in a newly desegregated America. Guided by Baby Boomer parents who grew up in the thick of segregation, Gen X kids were thrust into a world of new laws but old attitudes.  This episode explores the community-based parenting tools passed down from the Civil Rights era, the unspoken rules that protected us, and the critical role of the Black church as a cultural anchor. A must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the transition from overt to covert racism—and how a generation learned to survive it.  🎧 Listen and follow for more untold stories about race, resilience, and generational transformation.

    What they didn’t teach us: Lessons Gen X Black Kids had to learn on their own

    In this episode, I explore the lessons Gen X Black kids weren’t taught in school—but learned through life, family, and experience. From forgotten Black high schools to KKK terror parades, and from the strength of the Black church to quiet legacies of integration, I reflect on the stories we inherited and the importance of capturing them while we still can. History isn’t just what’s written—it’s what’s remembered.
