  • Ep. 3 - Finding Your Future at a Fork in the Road
    When the path you’re on is stable and holds the promise of conventional success, veering off might be considered foolish or irrational. That didn't stop Uzo Njoku, a 23-year old artist and author who went from studying how to crunch numbers as a Statistics major to creating art that's drawing attention for its focus on blackness and womanhood. Check out Uzo's work on Instagram [@uzo.art] or her website [www.uzoart.com].
    *Forgive the audio. We recorded in a different location and won't ever do that again lol.*

  • Embrace Experiences, Seek Understanding, S1E3

    Jordan shares an uncomfortable experience at a work party where he had to defend playing a collegiate sport & prove that it does not take away from the accomplishment of attending and graduating from an Ivy League institution. The goal of this podcast is to help encourage anyone in a similar situation, not just sports, to engage in understanding, rather than reacting to someone’s different mental framework. At the end of the day we are what we experience and it is all that we know. However, by engaging in conversations we can learn from one another, and lead our lives with empathy and a more common understanding.
