I’m grateful I was able to chop it up with my brother Dr. Hardwick last week and record an raw and honest conversation about navigating suffering and grief while still showing up with compassion and hope 🙏🏾 I can’t wait to share our conversation! I’m grateful for you my brother

Reminder: Just because something doesn’t affect you the way it affects someone else doesn’t give you the right to dismiss it or invalidate someone’s experience simply because it doesn’t fit a narrative you can control.

I was grateful to spend time with Professor Lee C. Camp on the No Small Endeavor podcast, where we discussed my story, education, policy, and my upcoming book, "From Dropout to Doctorate." 🙏🏾 I can't wait to share this conversation once it's released!

Shoutout to those whose compassion and care aren't strategies or marketing campaigns, but a way of life, because it's who they truly are at heart.
