Conversations With Nation

Welcome back to the new season of Conversations with Nation! In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing LG from Meet the Brave Podcast to get a small peak into understanding the Black male ego as it pertains to their experience in this country. LG spoke about his own journey of healing and never giving in to programming that doesn't lend to the life he is creating.

In the final episode of the season I take that hot seat and get interviewed by my co-host. We talk love, education and inspiration.

In this episode I was able to get a male perspective on sex, monogamy and relationships. 

In this episode I got a chance to talk to one of my really good friends about our experiences around sex, monogamy and relationships. 

In this episode I get to highlight an amazing rapper and creative coming from Oakland, Ca as we talk about the work that artists put in behind the scenes to deliver such great art. We get into conversations around purpose, vision, and some of the highlight of his career thus far.

In this episode I have a conversation with a friend that has been a professional music producer and song writer in the industry for about 15 years. As consumers, we often have a warped view of what it is like to be a creative and in doing so we often strip them of their humanity and treat them as a product. I wanted to know from the artist standpoint, what are the things they wish consumers considered. We get to talk about longevity in the industry, the power of music, how fans can suck, and how hard it is to have create stability. 

What happens when the love we experience doesn't align with love's purest form? In this episode, I speak with a pastor about what love is, where does it come from, and the way in which religion blurs our view of it. We have an honest conversation about the discomfort associated with shedding things that do not serve our highest self and knowing that love is really that foundation of all things.

In this episode, I got the perspective of someone who has gone through the educational system as an immigrant to this country and is currently an educator. My guest moved to this country at the age of 5 with her mother and father from Africa and now has her masters, is currently working towards her PhD, and is a dean of students at a college of the arts. 

As you listen you’ll notice that this conversation beautifully pivots in and out of topics not strictly about education, but also about family structure, heritage and love. 

In this episode we have an honest conversation about what its like to be black in the educational system. I interviewed a black male dean, with a very diverse educational background, about his experience both as a student and now as an administrator. 

In this episode, I talk to a friend from the perspective of being in the middle of her major transition. We cover being a creative, religion and the importance of tribe.
