I finally get to talk to NYIT! And what a doozy! Duran comes in fast with the history of NYIT, how the stars aligned and how the club is managing to put its best foot forward even calling early tryouts! Making adjustments early and often shows a group that is ready to take their program to the top of the collegiate scene while actively supported by faculty and other staff. What a ride it will be to see them continue adding to their presence and drive others to model themselves after NYIT.

Black Lives Matter.

In this episode, I discuss with Zeke, Jermal and Sergio their experiences with racism. Some truly heartbreaking stories that our next generation has experienced. Knowing that it has been like that for every generation previously but even harder, is devastating to process. Everyone is realizing just how much farther there is to go.

Here are a few sites I've used to find ways to contribute to this movement:

Join in, you're just at the beginning! That's right St. Mary's Esports is just starting but they're starting with the full support of the administration and a dedicated resource in Kaitlin Teniente as Head Coach. Developing and growing a community on campus is difficult enough, but doing so during COVID-19 quarantine orders only makes it more so. Listen in on how this club is still pushing forward.
