In this powerful and timely episode of The Monie Podcast, we sit down with Francis Jeffers to explore the intersection of science, Black innovation, purpose, and perseverance — and why it’s critical that Black youth see themselves as builders of the future, not just participants in it.

As we enter Black History Month, this conversation could not be more fitting. Francis shares how Black excellence in science and innovation has often been overlooked, erased, or under-celebrated — and why reclaiming those narratives is essential for the next generation.

Throughout the episode, Francis drops golden nuggets on:

• The untold history of Black innovators and scientists

• Why representation in STEM truly matters

• Chasing big dreams even when the path feels unclear

• Overcoming limitations, doubt, and systemic barriers

• Paving the way for Black youth to think boldly and creatively

• Staying disciplined, curious, and purpose-driven in your journey

This episode is both educational and deeply motivational, reminding us that brilliance has always existed in our communities — and that dreaming big is not optional, it’s necessary.

Whether you’re a student, educator, parent, creative, or someone rediscovering their purpose, this conversation will challenge you to think bigger, reach higher, and believe deeper.

✨ Good things are coming — especially when we honour our past while building our future.
