This episode is personal. Lately, it’s felt like everything around me has been trying to teach me something. Instead of rushing through the month, I decided to slow down and study myself. I created my own September Curriculum. And in this episode, I’m breaking it all down.

I’m reflecting on a powerful passage from Blues People by LeRoi Jones. I talk about the beauty of Black expression, how signs have been showing up in my life, and why I’m leaning into this moment as a student of my own growth.

This is a diary-style episode. Honest, reflective, layered. Just me and the mic.
