Well, Since You Asked Me....

In this powerful episode I sit down with the co-founder and president of the Black Autism Support Society, Kimacka Randall for a heartfelt conversation on the intersection of race, autism, and community healing.

We unpack the stigma surrounding autism in the Black community, the urgent need for culturally aligned care, and how delayed diagnoses, lack of access, and institutional bias are impacting Black families. From healing circles and parent education to creating safe spaces for children and caregivers alike, this episode is both informative and deeply personal.

Whether you are a parent, educator, or advocate, this conversation will challenge and empower you to rethink support, language, and community.

In this Easter-season episode, I sit down with Cheryl, a former licensed counselor turned spiritual companion, to explore how joy becomes a spiritual practice, not just a feeling. We talk about how to make space for joy even in the midst of pain, change, and uncertainty. Cheryl shares how her transition from clinical care to spiritual direction deepened her understanding of what it means to truly accompany others on their faith journey.

This conversation is a heartfelt reminder that joy is not the absence of struggle, it is the presence of something deeper.

In this episode of "Well, Since You Asked Me...", we dive deep into the evolving landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and the challenges it faces in today's political climate. Joined by Karen and Herman, we explore the impact of recent policy changes, Supreme Court rulings, and corporate responses to DEI initiatives.

Our guests bring their lived experiences to the table. Karen has spent years successfully leading training teams. She, along with her late wife, is and was deeply involved in the arts and culture scene in Austin, Texas. Herman, an active DEI advocate and corporate trainer, has been married to his husband for nine years, and they call Southern California home. Both share insights on bias in hiring, the myth of reverse discrimination, and why true inclusion strengthens workplaces rather than divides them.

We also discuss how rhetoric from the highest levels of government shapes perceptions of DEI and what organizations can do to remain committed to fostering diverse and equitable environments. With humor, candor, and powerful storytelling, this conversation challenges misconceptions and highlights the importance of showing up—boldly, authentically, and unapologetically.
