Closing 2024 with a song, a quick trip down memory lane, and a message of thanks.

I took a moment to talk about where I stand with this podcast and how success looks and feels different for us all.

Meet Alex! Alex is a software developer turned event curator. Alex runs the DC chapter of Pitch a Friend.

Beyond the Pitch a Friend Space, we discuss the trials of dating and how having so many options can make it difficult to make a true love connection. Also how the isolation of remote work can make it hard for people to find new people to bond with.

This brilliant creative is curating positive experiences for others through the arts. Metcalfe uses his gifts to uplift others within the black community unapologetically. This podcast episode touches on unity, the power of messages, the positive influence educators have on the youth, the importance of representation, and how our goals don't have to meet anyone else's expectations. We also speak about the unique space of battle rapping and how it has become a sport and has evolved into a lucrative business within the music industry.
