Construction Engineering & Community Engagement (feat. Phil Dure)

In 2026, it's rare to find (young) people who only do one thing. Between second jobs, side hustles, scaling business, content creation, and hobbies, almost everyone has commitments that take up significant time outside of their primary job, and today's guest, Phil Dure is no different. What makes Phil special is what he chooses to spend that time on: he visits schools to talk about his career as an engineer while engaging with other communities in the Boston area through his work as VP and COO of Minds with Purpose. As someone who values community contribution, I'm super excited for y'all to hear this conversation. Please leave a rating and review if you enjoyed the episode!

Internalized Identity Issues Part 2 (feat. Nikkie Saige & Serena Speight)

Last episode, my friends Nikkie, Serena, and I discussed the vastly different ways we conceptualize our racial identities despite all being black. Though we shared many stories, there was so much we weren't able to cover that we had to return for a second conversation. Today's episode focuses on our experiences with racial hostility, code switching, and social comfort around different racial groups. If you enjoyed the episode, please leave a rating and review!

Say No to Niching Down (feat. Edosa Osemwedgie)
