"I've been gone for a minute but I'm back now" Classmates, it feels good to be back home. Recording this episode was a lot more liberating and forgiving than I thought it would be. Join me this Tuesday for a very transparent conversation about where I've been, the burnout I experienced, my newfound avoidance diagnosis, and honestly, a conversation on why its so hard to come back after being away for a while.

We never ask birds why they likes to sing, its what they were made to do. This week we have part 1 of a conversation with a real life song bird- Dr. Marcus Norris! Composer and director of the South Side Symphony orchestra takes along his journey of discovering his love for mixing R&B, Gospel, and Rap with orchestral music, the best of both worlds. Through conversations about choosing the arts you love, dreaming bigger than what you've seen, and making sure our community is seen, Dr. Marcus Norris gives us the boost we need to ignore the "safe route" and jump into our dreams. Connect with Dr. Marcus and celebrate Juneteenth with a South Side Symphony concert- it's an experience you will neverforget. YT: @Marcusnorrismusic Southsidesymphony.orgMarcusNorris.com

We never said representation was easy. But it is necessary, it is valuable. This week we've had the please of talking to Dillard University & Berkeley Law graduate, Traelon Rodgers Esq. Tune in to the conversation as Traelon gives us a glimpse of what representation means to him, to live it, and to set an example that truly makes an impact on the community around him.
