The third episode of Season One, “A Million Apples in the Basket”, circles around Bronx native and University of Chicago PhD candidate Durrell Washington. The episode follows Durrell as he reflects on his academic experiences analyzing the effects of mass incarceration with black and brown people, as well as his career prospects to become a social worker: “I knew I wanted to help kids, help empower young people of color who come from those neighborhoods that I come from.” The episode tracks the challenges Durrell has faced and continues to face as a black man in moving through university and academic spaces, sharing powerful words of wisdom for young people with bright minds who, like him, want to use their talents to make the world a better place.
