This is the last episode of What's The T w/ Delmar D. Everything has a beginning, middle, and end. I reflect on the birth of this project, my interviews, and share why it's time to wrap this up. I want to work on a new podcast called "Story Disruptors" and a children's book entitled "Dear Hassan". Once I work on these new ideas I will definitely share it with you all. During this difficult time, I recommend you create a personal and work routine to give you some control back and find a hobby/creative passion project to fill up your new found time. "Done is better than perfect" don't let the fear of not knowing how to do things stop you from starting. I jumped into this knowing nothing about podcasting and now I've created a world of knowledge and resources. Please keep listening to episodes and sharing them. The project is over but these stories still have value, re-listen to your favorite interviews and checkout ones you didn't have time to listen to before. Thank you for all the support you've shown me, it truly means the world to me.

Her family's immigration journey later shaped her passion for international development. Warsan worked for the International Rescue Committe (IRC) and the United Nations. Living and working in New York City for the last few years has sparked her interest in tech and print marketing.

In addition, she is currently working on developing a few upcoming creative and entrepreneurial projects...be on the lookout!

April is a yoga and fitness instructor that uses a strength-based framework in her classes. My favorite course she runs is "intensati" - where she uses positive affirmations with a cardio workout routine. As she says in this episode, the body and mind were once friends and her work helps to reconnect them. Listen to how she fell in love with helping people re-own their body. We recorded in the field (aka Brooklyn Tea) so you'll hear some unique sounds in the background. If you're interested in taking a class with her, here is her website: http://ahimsamyllc.mystrikingly.com
