Be Intrusive in Spaces That Are Not Inclusive w/Brandon Fleming

Your struggle is not your story. But, while it may be a root, it doesn't have to limit where your branches can grow and reach. Our guest exemplifies how unlimited our futures can be when we find access and embrace education.  

Brandon Fleming, the founder of the Harvard Debate Council Diversity Project, a world-class educator, and author of the best-selling book Miseducated, was once a kid who struggled to read, sought refuge in the streets, and attempted suicide as a relief mechanism. As he became a young man, he held on to his childhood ideals and ultimately became a college dropout...but sometimes all it takes is one person to stoke your internal flame and redirect you to your place of passion. That happened to Mr. Fleming; now, he lives inside his passion, serving others in the capacity he once sought to be served.

This episode is one of the most inspirational hours in the While Black catalog, and it will motivate you to live ... live differently, live authentically, and live out loud.

When you find your place...stand on it...let no one displace you. Plant yourself in a soil designed for the unique curve of your feet, and know that you are home.
