Highly Visible & A Little Misunderstood

In this conversation, I chop it up with Entrepreneur, writer, speaker, and Founder of Empowered In Color. In our conversation where we talked about the difficulties of being an entrepreneur of color, why you can give back and make a profit, what allyship looks like in business and in life, and a whole lot more. There are a bunch of great tidbits in this episode, so you may need to listen back to this one.

In this conversation, War and I talk about identity, Black spirituality, faith deconstruction, what we miss about the church, and why we have no desire to go back and take some time castin’ a whole lotta shade at Chick-fil-a. I really appreciated this conversation and I know you all will too.

In the 2nd half of my conversation with my friend THE Reverend Dr. Aizaiah Yong, we continue discussing the intersectionality of religion, race and overcoming white supremacy, but we get into why it is important and necessary to not fall prey to the systems that try to pin us against each other. Rather, what truly disrupts and dismantles these systems of oppression is acknowledging that we are ALL in this together.

This week I had the chance to connect with one of my best friends, THE Reverend Dr. Aizaiah Yong. Z and I have been coworkers, conference copresenters, we hooped together, all of it. This is one of my bros. In this episode, we talk about his multicultural and multiracial identity and how that has played a role in the past year, the intersectionality of religion, race, and overcoming white supremacy.

In this 2nd part of my convo with B, we talk more about labels and stereotypes and the emotional weight that comes with being someone we are not, along with anti-blackness racism and how we care for our mental health and be authentically Black with a capital B in spaces that are not designed for us.

This week I talk with my guy, Brannon Andrews. In the first part of this two-part conversation, we talk about labels and stereotypes that are placed on us as Black men, the ones we choose to place on ourselves, and how we are both learning to unburden ourselves with the need to make others comfortable with our Blackness.

In this episode, I try my best to reflect on the trash ass year that was 2020.⠀

I walk through a simple reflection guide I put together on my IG Page that consists of three questions to help process 2020:

1. What in 2020, can I be grateful for?

I also spend some time talking about some celebrations from last year, because you have to find some joy in the mess.

This week I sat down with one of my best friends, David Beavis. It's actually because of David that we are as good of friends as we are. He is one of those kinds of people that are naturally great friends. The kind that is intentional and remembers most of the little things you tell them, check in on you consistently, support your dreams. It's kind of annoying. It's for these reasons and many more reasons why I chose him to be one of the best men at my wedding. That's why it sucked when David and Luara, his wife, moved up to Portland. 

David and I talk about his dream of being a pastor, what it means for him as a white man in America, and given all that has happened with equity and justice in the year 2020, I ask how his approach to his job as a Pastor has changed and he shares how he hopes the Church engages in this pivotal moment in history.
