Improv w/ Jav

This episode dives into how I work for an organization that helps students get into college even though I’m a college drop out. It explores the struggles I had initially early on with everyone having degrees and I didn’t. But then I had an “ah ha” moment for the purpose of me being there and what I had to bring to the table that would impact the youth. It gets real!!!

Have you ever had a dream that you didn’t want to wake up from? In this episode, I talk about having one of those dreams recently and the message I got through it around a passion of mine I’ve been putting on the back burner. Hope you can you relate to my truth!

This episode is dedicated to my Aunty Deb who passed this year in 2020. In this episode, I thanked her for the musical influence she had on my life including introducing me to “Fleetwood Mack.” I didn’t get a chance to tell her goodbye, but in this episode, I did my best to let her know she was loved and thanked her for raising me when no one else wanted too...

In this episode, I go over the rough week we had as Americans watching the Presidential Deflates, I mean Debates. I also talk about getting a cyst removed this week and giving a record number of shout outs including Rihanna for showcasing a male plus size model in her recent fashion show. Dude looks just like me. I have a Plan B if this podcast game don’t work out!

This week, we saw a failure in our judicial system where a Black Woman named Breonna Taylor was shot dead in her sleep and the cops who did it were charged with shooting the wall and not her. This is an apology to Black Women from Black Men for us not making you feel safer out here. We will do better!

In this Episode, I cover hot topics from Tupac’s Anniversary, Versuz Battle with Patti Labelle and Gladys Knight, WildFires, Mayor London Breed, 9/11 and much more. The main discussion point of this Episode is how I can wear my friends out through our conversations and how I’m learning to speak from a more from a healed place.

This is my first solo podcast. It’s short and sweet. In this Podcast, I discuss this past exhausting week for Black people from the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha to the collective grieving over the loss of Chadwick Boseman and how we bounce back from it. Thank you again to everyone who support the previous episode. It’s only going to get better from here!

This is the launch Episode to “Improv w/ Jav” and I thought about having no one else then my best friend Barry Graves Jr who helped inspire and encourage me to do the Podcast. In this Episode, we talk about growing up in San Francisco, the plays we’ve worked on together and our lives. Thank you to Alie for all of your help behind the scenes to make this happen. It means the world to me!
