"THE NEXT SPIKE LEE...OR THE FIRST ME"
Still exploring Chicago. I was excited to catch up with Valicia Brown as she prepared for a significant life transition--returning to her hometown from Chicago. Valicia is the Director of Content-Team Sports for Under Armour. Yes, the offical Under Armour.

Join Us! Back story: This was my VERY first recorded interview when I decided to start the podcast. I had no clue what I was doing, but I mapped out everything I could think of in regards to who I wanted to interview and why. The interview was virtual on a new platform I was trying out.

We meet up with the dynamic Imani Hudson-Hill (@ms.imanihh), a licensed atttorney and government contractor. Beyond her role in corporate settings, Imani is a well-traveled creative that boldly believes that she cannot be boxed in. An anomaly in that she is the personification of duality.

"Mama Has A Life, Too"

"Mama Has A Life, Too"
It was important that I interviewed my Mom, Anita Hall Mitchell, because both she and my sisters are my first recollection of generational cycles, nuanced dynamics between women, and humanizing people through the lens of grace regardless of their relation to me. Ms. Mitchell is so much more than just my Mother. She is a dynamic woman livin a full life, that has contributed to the world and lives that that extend beyond my family. The most resilient person I know. The most poised person I know. The biggest heart I have ever known. My very first lesson in duality and respectability politics. She has taught me via example who I do and do not want to be. As a Black woman born in the 50's to a single Mom, the fourth child of six children, the only girl, in the deep, rural South where the main road segregated the town, she has experienced adversities I hope to never face. And she survived. She taught me what she could and put me in positions to learn what she did not know. Let's humanize our parents. Respect their journeys. They did the best they could with what they had. Happy Mother's Day to the GOAT, Anita Hall Mitchell!

I went east, but I stayed in the south. So if you guessed Georgia...how did you know? I stopped in Gwinnett County (NOT ATLANTA) to chat with an exceptional woman, Tamara Robinson.

Do It ALL...And Then Some (Part I)
Episode Three is with Dallas, Texas native Dorothy Nayles. Ms. Nayles is a 78 year-old retired social worker, whose life has taker her across the United States during pivotal historical moments, some of which she participated in, and a time of archaic societal norms (especially for women) that she often rebuked. Her shared experiences are much too grand for one episode, so the episode has been split into two parts. Part I drops TODAY for your week's end and weekend enjoyment. Part II will drop next week.
