The SmartDumb Podcast

Three events have occurred in the past few days that made me reflect on how horrible we are at having discussions. The insistence on living in the extremes is a problem.

Songs:

Mos Def - Got

Royce da 5'9" ft. J. Cole - Boblo Boat

And for those who didn't catch it, Bey and Jay was the least important of the three stories. Shocking, I know.

I spoke with an ASU student about my perceived barriers for women and minorities who pursue higher education.

On 6/5/2018 I recorded some thoughts I had regarding mental health, specifically for black men. Hours later, we learned that Kate Spade committed suicide.

Song:

Prodigy - Veteran's Memorial Pt. 2

Just a discussion about the social media accounts I juggle, and their various purposes. I am far from the best or busiest, but I'm good and busy outchea.

Hopefully people feel inclined to tell their stories.

Part 1 of the 4:44 series details my employment history, and discusses where I am heading next.
