In Episode 12 of the Non-traditional Scholar Podcast, we learn about identity, and how culture and identity weave together to create the fabric of one's life. We feature a guest that opens up about his Bi-cultural makeup. He introduces us to two proud cultures that shape who he is. One that has lived on this land for thousands of years, and the other that has fought for their identity since the very steps they made it to this shore over 400 years ago. The two cultures create the Beautiful collision of who he is, and he uses his identity to build bridges of understanding instead of burning them. Join me in learning about the life of Afro-Native Rollie Gilliam III in episode 12 of the Non-traditional Scholar Podcast. Titled, The Beautiful Collision.
