#LiveLegendary

A few years ago, I had the honor of being interviewed by my guy Aaron Baptiste. He was doing a project for class on Leadership and he thought of me to be interviewed. So when I say honor, I definitely mean that. To me, it's very humbling when someone comes and makes a request about a subject like leadership. It says so much about how they feel about you. So Aaron, if you happen to listen to this, thank you so much for thinking of me when this came across your plate. Hope you enjoy my point of view on this. Let me know what you think.

Unfinished but needed to go up. Started off with another beautiful morning with Carter and got a chance to jump into a discussion where a good friend of mine was talking about Courage. Listen in. I hope it adds value!

It’s a Monday morning after a Food For Thought Produce Pick Up, which means we have a lot of compost to make. I got to get out there with the team, chat with Ms. Raynice, heard about her daughter Hailey getting ready for college and offered some advice and help. Got to also chat with the team about some funny stuff and then a conversation about how many chuggas you say before choo choo! Lol that was funny. All in all, another #Legendary day! Listen in and enjoy! ✊🏾

Today was all about self care + family. On the weekends Nicole and I do our best to just spend our time with the girls and enjoy some type of outing. That included going to hear Nicole speak at the Food Leaders Lab Culmination, going on a walk to the store with the girls, and even a quick trip to Wholefoods. Never takes much! 😆🥰 Take time to enjoy the tunes. Thank you for listening in and by the way, #LiveLegendary! (P.s. I work hard curating the music I add to the podcast episodes. I really want you to hear it! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 To hear some great music added to the podcast, listen here on Anchor! The music doesn’t play on any of the other platforms. You not a member yet? Come on and get on board ASAP!! 😂)

What a way to open up season 2. Got a chance to take a writer from Kaiser Health on a tour of the food landscape of Inglewood and South LA. Shared some facts about the built environment but also got the chance to showcase some amazing stories of businesses looking to transform their communities. Also some really awesome music from various new musical artists. So glad to be back. Listen and if you are so inclined feel free to share! #LiveLegendary

Here's the first episode of a new segment I'd like to call #CarterTalks.😍 I'm always asking my daughter Carter questions, mainly because it's so amazing to me how she processes ideas. Her creativity is so fascinating to me. As she is growing up, her voice is changing, her thoughts are more sharp and pointed and I just want to capture it all.

In this episode, we were walking home and just having a random conversation about so many things. At 4 years old, not only is she cute but she's sooooo funny to me. lol Listen in and feel free to comment to let me know what you think. #LiveLegendary

On this episode of #LiveLegendary podcast I had the opportunity to be a guest on the #ChangingTheNarrative podcast segment led by Paul Terry talking about Mental Health in communities of color, particularly the black community. "Changing the Narrative" is a collaboration of Connectopod and SJLI funded by a grant from The California Arts Council. #ArtsCA

It's not often that I get to share a platform with my man David Turner, one of the most brilliant minds today when it comes to the issues in the black community. When I’m in spaces with this guy, I'm learning more about myself and connect more dots about things I know. Of course, I was so focused that I didn't capture it from the beginning, but I did get a good amount of it, enough of it to share with my friends and family out there listening in. (My bad! 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️) Please listen in & share.

Also, search for the Connectopod's podcast & check for the "Changing the Narrative" segment. There's a surprise from Avery on there too!

So I hit up Leda Kay to see if she saw Netflix's "Seven Seconds", a single season 12 episode drama, probably one of the best I've seen on Netflix. This show tells a really dense story about the black experience with the law enforcement and judicial systems, how justice is never received even if law enforcement is in the wrong.

The story, plot and character development was really dope and all too real. Leda and I did our best to capture it all in one episode but honestly I'm sure we didn't do the show its full justice.

Tell you what, listen in, then call in and give us your two cents on what we captured, what you think we missed and I'm going to pick the best commentary to be on the next episode about this show that we will do that will pick up all the pieces we missed.

Looking forward to hearing from you! 😉👌🏾

Just filled with gratitude. Thank you to everyone who sent love my way today, especially my wife and daughters.

So Netflix finally gave us season 2 of "Dear White People" and I couldn't wait to watch it. In fact, we finished the entire season in two evenings. Lol But Leda and Mike took FOREVER! Lol Nonetheless, since we both watched it as a couple, we figured this episode we'd feature Mike and Nicole as guests. We got the chance to talk a lot about the themes of the season as well as the characters. We even got a little deep about white friends and our feelings about hoteps! 😂😂 There's a little bit of explicit language in this episode. Just a heads up. Id love to hear what you think! So call in, leave comments, be a part of the discussion! Mad love! ✊🏾👊🏾
