Welcome to Episode Three of YELL Fire! Conversations about the lie of white supremacy and how to fight it. My guest today is speaker, author, and coach Alex Dumas. 

“I’m not here” was the lingering belief Alex carried from youth into early adulthood.

Where was Alex supposed to fit in? Find out how a Black man in Felon47s America has found ways to thrive and share his knowledge, expertise, and drive through keynote speeches and as vice president of BIPOC Coach Collective.

We are living in chaotic times, as a leader in the US seeks and too often outright uses dictatorial powers in the name of white supremacy. This guy is not big on subtlety. He is big on sowing chaos. 

How do you show up in the chaos?

In chaotic times, it helps to find voices not just of reason, but of clarity and calm.

Future Cain is such a voice. Here is something she said early in our conversation…

“How we choose to show up in the chaos matters, which is why I always ask, ‘How are we staying calm in the chaos? How are we centering community? How are we being courageous?’”

Future Cain is the Founder and CEO of Future of SEL and recently served as the Statewide Project Coordinator for Social and Emotional Learning and Mental Health in Wisconsin. She helps individuals see how they can positively impact the world by starting with their own self-awareness.
