Black History Month

Black Perspectives #25: Sasha V (Artist & Jewelry Designer)

02/28/2022

I was lucky enough to go to school with some genuine success stories. I am happy for all of them - but it's the ones that I admired and followed from afar that I feel most inspired by. I have talked to a number of those inspiring people in this Black Perspective series, and today's interview subject - Sasha V - is no exception. Read More

Black Perspectives #24: Terry Hemmitt (United States Air Force)

02/27/2022

I wanted to include a member of our military in these interviews, and I'm glad my high school classmate Terry Hemmitt was available for today. He was always focused & dedicated back when we hung out and played sports together for a brief period, and I'm glad to see nothing's changed. Check out this Airman's Black Perspective. Read More

Black Perspectives #23: Christopher Carr (Associate Dean & Chief Diversity Officer)

02/26/2022

I attended two colleges for undergrad. I graduated from one. Sure. But, the other? Let's just say, there were very few of "me" there (if you follow). Anywho - while there, I befriended Christopher Carr - today's interviewee. He advocated for the marginalized then, and that continues still. Let's hear about it in his Black Perspective. Read More

Black Perspectives #22: Dwynn Evans (Product Manager & Food/Travel Blogger)

02/25/2022

I first met Dwynn during college under circumstances that were cool enough for me to feel her out and verify she was "good people". Fast forward a few years, and she's been employed in the tech sector for quite some time now. She also has another hobby outside of work that she'll address today in her Black Perspective. Read More

Black Perspectives #21: Quentin Fountain (Former Web Developer [Figuring it Out])

02/24/2022

I love transparent people (because I strive to be one). That said, today's interviewee, Quentin Fountain, is an open book about many topics and just fun to talk to. What I love about his mind is that he's willingly stepped back for a moment to re-evaluate life. I think his Black Perspective will benefit people more than they know. Read More

Black Perspectives #20: Andrea Gordon (Creative & Media Polymath)

02/23/2022

Sometimes... You have to brag on family. My little cousin, Andrea Gordon, has impressed me while doin' her thing for years. Whether she's on the grind photographing clients, promoting or recording events, or directing/producing for TV (you read that right). Although she's only 23, we all can learn a bit from her Black Perspective. Read More

Black Perspectives #19: Adam Williams (Streetwear Brand Owner & Designer)

02/22/2022

He described himself as "an actual run-on sentence" while interviewing, but I describe today's interview subject - Adam Williams - as a hardworking creator. I have known him since our school days, and I've seen his clothing brand, Dreams Don't Expire (D2E), grow from idea to reality. Read More

Black Perspectives #18: Courtney Pauley (RN – Labor & Delivery)

02/21/2022

Today's interview subject is a Registered Nurse (RN) working in Labor & Delivery who cares -- not to say that all nurses do or don't, but I know that Courtney Pauley DOES. Courtney has always been cool people since our school days, so when I went looking for a Black nursing expert, I knew that I had to seek her Black Perspective. Read More

Alecia bringing a little light to an otherwise dark place.

Black Perspectives #17: Alecia Williams (Career Coach & Educator)

02/20/2022

There is dignity in finding "your way" while helping others find theirs. Alecia Williams, today's interview subject, has that dignity in spades. She cares about the students she guides but is cognizant that her guidance must be more than talk. She also has to be an example. You'll see what I mean in today's Black Perspective. Read More
