The Celebration

This week we bring you our 8th episode of this series; a conversation with Alex Sullivan and Jessica Estevez.

Here is the background on this project:

In the last few months leading up to my daughter’s birth, I began a podcast project.

I had a few intentions with this project.

I wanted her to have a set of recordings that could serve as a time capsule of what life was like just as she was arriving. And for her to begin life already surrounded by a community who was invested in her.

In the end I interviewed over 20 people for this project.

I began these recordings in the late summer of 2019.

Little did I know what was awaiting all of us just around the corner.

As I’ve been relistening to these recordings I have found deep meaning in each conversation, and I hope you will appreciate them too.

That is why we are starting the 2022 season of THE Celebration podcast by sharing a new edited edition of these interviews.

The series is entitled: Gifts For You.

It will span 13 episodes in total.

I hope you enjoy.

Sometimes you just don’t fit in. What should you do then?

Explore this intriguing topic with us as we chat with our very special guest, Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, author of several books including Fish Out of Water.

As someone who never fit into a particular group, she became a force for awareness and change.

For years, she’s been an amazing advocate for justice, equity, and inclusion, for hundreds of organizations across the country and continues to teach companies how to create a healthy corporate culture for all employees.

When asked to describe herself in 6 words, she replied: ”I was not what they expected.”

Come by to hear our discussion where we go deeper on what it’s like to feel like someone who doesn’t belong and how we can play our part to help society become more inclusive.
