Inflection Point

Black Enough

In this episode of Youth on Rewind, host Miah Edwards explores a time when she asked herself, "Am I Black enough?" This impossible question opens a dialogue about how we define Blackness, and what problematic limitations a single definition of a pluralistic identity can bring. The episode includes additional perspectives and reflections from producers Godwin Amouzou, Jasenia Sutherlin, and Akello Stallings. These stories examine both physical and ideological facets of Blackness, as well as the ways those are subverted every day. This all begs the question, is there such a thing as "Black enough?"

The Power of Play

In this episode of Youth on Rewind, host Chris Fazzari explores what we gain and what we lose as we grow older, starting with the simple question of when we stopped being allowed to play. From dolphin names to doodling, the episode challenges the idea that silliness and joy are things we’re supposed to age out of. Through personal reflection and contributions from former interns Mars Williams and Godwin Amouzou, this episode makes a case for play as a vital, lifelong practice. The Power of Play invites listeners to resist “shoulds,” stay weird, and remember that maturity doesn’t have to mean giving up fun.
