Meet My Parents

In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my parents to explore their experiences growing up in New Orleans. Through stories of struggle, resistance, and triumph, they share what it was like to navigate the complexities of identity in the South, the lessons they learned, and the wisdom they now share with others. From the civil rights movement’s impact on their childhoods to the leadership they grew into as adults, this episode is a testament to the power of perseverance and purpose. Their voices are a bridge between history and the present. We dive into the realities of the colorism and racism they faced, the resilience they built, and how these experiences shaped their leadership journeys.
