Whether you have been 25 or are 25 while listening to this, I think we can all agree the amount of reflection and understanding or lack thereof is shocking. If you aren’t 25 yet and listening to this, take it as a sneak peak and know that the years in front of you are much more free than the year you’re in and what you have left behind. This episode is about the honesty that comes with growing up and the strength to admit you don't know the answer, yet.

Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with. I know what it feels like to worry for a friend and to struggle with connecting. I also know the best aspects of friendship because of the people the Lord has put in my life. A dating question crept its way in too, so you know I’ll have something to say to that! Thank you to those of you that submitted your questions and topics are creating a really awesome bridge for me to connect with everyone listening. So, let’s jump in!

Welcome back to The Stories! After taking some time to let my identity and creativity come back to me, I am honored to share that with you. As we enter back into conversations focused on empowerment, free thought, and a few laughs, I want to share what the past few months have shown me during my hiatus. In this episode, I share my thoughts on how our greatest strengths can be our most hindering weaknesses and how self awareness is a key on a ring of many to find freedom. Enjoy and see you next week.

I wanted to share my recent life change in a way people could listen and hopefully relate it to something big or small within their own. A promise of this podcast was honesty, and honestly, I have been in a valley ignoring signs from the Lord for some time. This is a story about preparing my logistical and earthly mindset for a supernatural interference - there is something to be said for that.

There is liberty in restraint and joy in self-awareness. This episode is a vulnerability deep dive. I hope it gives you some insight into how loneliness in the midst of groups does not make you an outcast, but presents a hard-pressed opportunity to choose yourself for the love of others.

I start this episode with a poem by Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib called “And What Good Will Your Vanity Be When The Rapture Comes?" When summer comes around, I start thinking about “What’s next?” I truly think this has to do with the 16+ years of school we undergo, but spring brings change where summer brings action and I have no idea whether that is accurate or not anymore. People change during many other parts of the year, of course, but this particular time is stirring for me. There are many worries in my mind wondering if I will continue to search for what is next, so much so that I forget where my feet are. Speaking about change, grief, and the supernatural as we move through these unprecedented times.

Each person has different circumstances and deserves the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome. I wonder if the world and the creator view us in that same way. Aside from the policy and technical implications, what if equal outcome means reason for life? And what if there is no single outcome? I wonder if we have what we need for our current circumstance, and will continue to receive at different timeframes and with different tools the experiences needed to reach our own purpose. When thinking of it this way, it makes the justification behind comparison essentially void.

DFC seeks to address inequity in educational opportunity by providing free support to underrepresented students applying to graduate school* and to competitive undergraduate and graduate scholarships. While the American education system is often referred to as a ‘meritocracy,’ pervasive systemic barriers tied to race, socioeconomic status, disability, and level of parental education prevent applications from being a level playing field.

This episode started as an interview on identity, but became a conversation on self. In this episode with Jedidiah Jenkins, we spoke about understanding, intent versus impact, James Baldwin, and so much more. Jed is a memoirist, adventure writer, and an incredible human. Listening to this episode should make you feel like you have a coffee in your hand and a conversation to be a part of.

It takes a giver and a receiver to have a conversation on race, and the roles have to shift back and forth. Today, I am going to be the receiver, and answer some questions that have been given to me in trust and confidence on race.

On a walk last spring, I came to the conclusion, or maybe the introduction to my view on the world, that something custom made takes time and there is grace in the waiting. As we move into season two of the stories, I hope that you feel the conversations with guests or just with me sitting in my room late at night are custom made for you. I am so thankful for you and inspired by you. I look forward to this season with you.

Address your walls. I’ll be honest that mine seem so unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but I have found that addressing what keeps me up at night helps me rest better for the next day ahead to continue to work for empowerment and inclusion. Somehow, it is possible to do both.

Love is patient, love is kind. While the first part of that phrase is passive, the second is much more. Love is active. When you’re difficult to care about, love will stay in the heat. Love does not bail when things get hard, it stays to work things out. We are working through difficult situations in our current political and social climate that need love and action. Don't bail on this.

Being a black person in a predominantly white space, you are consistently convincing yourself that you are not where you are because they needed a black face, you are there because you are qualified and worthy. While I believe this to be true, sometimes you have to reinforce your worth when someone else mistreats it.

Life becomes incredibly interesting after graduating from college. You and I are the exact same people we were yesterday. We are having different experiences and maybe living in different locations, but we fight the same desires and want the same things. I realized this while listening to a podcast one morning. A woman said, “When I walk out of this room, I’ll still be black. I’ll be black tomorrow and I was black yesterday. You can’t shed who you are.” This was interesting to me because, of course, I completely related to her. Yet for some reason, I thought when I moved to a different city being black would mean something different. I thought I would be something different. Thankfully, that was not the case.

There is so much to learn from people that walk through life in a way you could never imagine. Empathy can only be utilized through a true pursuit of understanding what you may not know. The realization that my skin color was associated with more than I knew came as a slow-moving awareness in a fast-moving life. I learned the n-word, realized my hair did not lay straight in conformance with socially accepted beauty, learned how to handle questions stemming from complete ignorance, and most importantly came to the understanding that hate can be spoken without words.
