Mr. Lucky "Live Show" Original Music

Mr. LuckyM.A., Master of Advocacy and Political Leadership (MAPL)M.S., Graduate Student, School of Urban EducationSee My Book: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.weusoursluckybooks.com">www.weusoursluckybooks.com</a>The Metro State Black Student Achievers Podcast was created to reach Black youth in charter schools, churches, recreation centers, barbershops, hair salons, and community spaces where many have been led to believe higher education is not for them. The mission is to bring real stories of Metro State students and graduates directly into these environments so young people hear voices that reflect their identities, experiences, and potential. The podcast also functions as an instructional tool, with select episodes paired with lesson plans highlighting Black innovators including the Black nurse who invented the home security system, the Freedom House Ambulance Service—the first modern EMS—and the Black nurses who served in every major American war. These materials help students collaborate with peers, complete activities at home, and allow educators to integrate the content into their courses. The mission also models self‑determination by showing this podcast was created without begging for money, without seeking validation, and by embracing the mindset of asking “What can I do?” instead of “What can’t I do?” The vision is to cultivate a generation of Black youth who see themselves as scholars, innovators, and leaders, transforming community spaces into learning spaces, elevating overlooked Black excellence, and building a culture where young people pursue goals with confidence, dignity, and purpose. Black students do not need permission to achieve—they need opportunity, representation, and courage. The podcast stands as an example of what is possible when students lead with purpose and institutions support authentic student voice. It advances the university’s commitments to student leadership, equity, culturally responsive engagement, community partnership, academic access, and the amplification of historically marginalized voices.Lucky is an award‑winning educator and community leader with 15+ years of experience in secondary education, juvenile justice, and public service. He has developed culturally responsive curricula, mentored educators, and taught Leadership, Race in America, and Community Organizing. His work has increased student achievement, reduced disciplinary incidents, and supported legislative efforts that secured over $355,000 for student programs. His leadership has earned recognition across Minnesota and beyond, including induction into the National Society of Leadership and Success, the Pillsbury United Communities Service Award, and commendations from Ramsey County Corrections, the U.S. Army, and state civic institutions. He chaired the Governor’s Legacy Committee, overseeing $240,000 in arts grants with a perfect audit. His background includes roles as Juvenile Probation Officer, Paralegal, Veterans Case Manager, Urban Elder Teacher Coach, Park Police and Military Police Officer. He has authored four books and released a gospel album produced by Numero Records. He holds advanced degrees in Advocacy, Leadership, Social Sciences, Counseling Psychology, Paralegal Studies, and Law Enforcement, and is completing a second master’s in education. “When people talk behind your back, remember—they’re behind you for a reason.” “During struggles, always ask what I can do—never what can’t I do.”At no point does the podcast claim to be an official university production. This being said, we continue to gain listeners. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:blackfreedomofspeech@gmail.com">radiotalklr@gmail.com </a>Phone: 773-809-8594
