Join Monai and Chancellor Dixon as they explore the conversation about Black women in power and the substance of that representation. They discuss their first-gen experience, Chancellor's life at the Wolfpack, and more!

Tune in for a conversation about leadership, representation, identity, and the experiences that shape Black women in power. 

This special segment is dedicated to HISTORY DAY! Join Monai and Dr. Wilson as they explore the magic that happens in Edmonds and how the history department exemplifies “Truth & Service.”

Join us as I sit down with Dr. Nadel for a conversation that takes us from the Bronx to Thailand, exploring fatherhood across borders, love, marriage, careers, and what it really means to give someone the freedom to become who they are.

We talk about how he and his wife pour into each other while still allowing each other room to grow, how his childhood shaped his independent lifestyle, and how his journey as a father has evolved both inside and outside of America.

This one is about freedom, family, love, and finding your own way.

In the inaugural episode of The Living Record, Dr. Charles D. Johnson explores the deep connection between Durham’s Hayti community and the institutional history of North Carolina Central University. Together, we uncover how the Hayti community helped shape the university’s identity, importance, and longevity. Dr. Johnson highlights influential figures such as John Merrick and C.C. Spaulding, whose leadership helped lay the foundation for generations to come. He also shares his family’s own legacy, including his parents, the Johnsons: his mother, a judge, and his father, a physician and Air Force veteran. Through personal stories and historical reflection, this episode shows how NCCU’s history extends beyond its campus and into the community that surrounded and supported it. As part of The Living Record, these stories preserve not only documented history but also the personal wisdom carried by those who experienced it. The Hayti community is not separate from NCCU’s story; it is part of the foundation.
