We went off the rails just a little bit in this brutally frank discussion (that really was not going to be a podcast episode, but here we are. Jon and I continue our deep dive into culture, race and resistance - opening with the revolutinary poeer of motherhood and how much of the way he sees the world is due to his mother's influence.

We're just two Black immigrants living with ADHD making light of a superbly heavy topic: "Everything is Revolutionary: Black existence in a world built to exclude us". Jon and I have been friends for years and he is not only insanely brilliant but very insightful. We speak about navigating oppressive systems; finding peace in constant revolution; why fatigue hits different these days; and why everyday feels like "chaos in a teacup".

Recorded in Jamaica just days after category 5 Hurricane Melissa (the biggest storm in 90 years, second largest ever in the Atlantic, and the biggest storm ever to hit Jamaica's shores) this raw episode captures what it's really like when the storm passes but nothing feels calm. No power, no water, no rest - just frustration, fatigue, and too much to process. No fake positivity. No silver lining. Just the truth of how shitty it all feels.

We've all been told to follow the playbook: get the degrees, climb the corporate ladder, and check all the boxes. Our guest Tracey did exactly that for 12 years. She was a master storyteller, a pro marketer on a path that was going exactly as planned.

But what happens when life decides to rip up the playbook?

After rolling with every punch life threw at her, she's now a beauty and wellness boss, founder of her own business. She's proof that starting over isn't a setback, it's a superpower. In this episode, Tracey shares what it's really like to pivot, pursue your passion, and give yourself permission to change your mind - even when the path looks nothing like you ever planned.
