  • Pro Athlete to Entrepreneur (Abdul)
    According to a statistic from a 2018 CNBC News article, 60% of NBA players go broke within 5 years of leaving the NBA. With hard work and a humble attitude, Abdul, who played professional basketball for the Bulls and overseas, escaped becoming a part of that statistic. He discusses his experiences playing with Michael Jordan, living overseas, learning about the fitness business, and his partnerships with Orange Theory and Redline Athletics.

    With influences from artists like Nas, DMX, Scarface, and 8-Ball & MJG, Bigg A’s music reflects his experiences growing up poor with an abusive father and having to become the primary breadwinner to help make a better life for his siblings. To provide for himself and his family, the Nashville native turned to a life in the streets, but discovered that the potential outcome of the lifestyle was not worth the risk. He tells this story in his first single, “Elbows.” As he began to understand the trauma he endured, he vowed to be a better father to his own children and break the generational curse. Hear his reflection on how his childhood trauma and struggles with depression affect his life today on Season 1, Episode 3.

  • Interracial Marriage (Taren and Harrison)
    Until the Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court case in 1967, interracial marriage was illegal in many places in the U.S. Since then, there has been a steady increase in the number of interracial marriages. Harrison, a white male raised in the majority white suburbs of Minnesota, and Taren, a black female who was raised in a majority white suburb in Georgia, have been married for three years. They discuss their experiences as an interracial couple raising a biracial daughter and how their cultural differences have actually broadened their perspectives.
