The TMI Project Story Hour

Black Stories Matter: Odell for President


Listen Later

This is Episode 11, Season 2 of The TMI Project Podcast: Black Stories Matter featuring TMI Project storyteller Odell Winfield. This episode was produced by Hayley Downs and mixed by Marlan Barry. It was co-produced by Radio Kingston. Special thanks to Ida Hakkila, Nate Brogan, Kale Kaposhilin, Jimmy Buff, and North Guild Productions. 

In 1954, Odell told his third-grade teacher that he wanted to be the President of the United States; she told him it would be at least 150 years until that happened. Today, Odell is the Executive Director of the Library at the A.J. Williams-Myers African Roots Center in Kingston, NY, and he reflects on how his experiences have turned him into the leader he always dreamed of being.

This story was presented as part of TMI Project's first intergenerational Black Stories Matter performance during Black History Month Kingston at Pointe of Praise Family Center on February 16, 2019.
