  • Spring 2023: Session 251 (History Notes: Black First-Gen and Black Greek with Evingerlean D. Blakney, Ph.D.)
    We're throwing it back with this one. I'd been wanting to do a show about being a Black Greek for years. I never really got around to it because, if I’m for real, I hadn’t fully grasped how I wanted to approach it. While there are several angles that I considered, I thought I’d start this conversation focusing on how being first-generation and a member of a Black Greek-letter organization (BGLO) has changed my life. Warning: I'm heavy on the Delta Sigma Theta this in one, but... in my defense... it's J13. (And, so you know now, I've been rounding up a Divine Nine First-Gen Squad because this is just the start of a series of conversations to come.)

  • Spring 2023: Session 250 (Puttin' Yourself First with Evingerlean D. Blakney, Ph.D.)
    I’ve talked to a few folks recently, ages 24 - 62, and all of them mentioned putting themselves first. In my time reflecting on the conversations, I found myself realizing a few things when it comes to actually doing so, and I like to share what I discovered with you.
