What's The T w/ Delmar D

This is the last episode of What's The T w/ Delmar D. Everything has a beginning, middle, and end. I reflect on the birth of this project, my interviews, and share why it's time to wrap this up. I want to work on a new podcast called "Story Disruptors" and a children's book entitled "Dear Hassan". Once I work on these new ideas I will definitely share it with you all. During this difficult time, I recommend you create a personal and work routine to give you some control back and find a hobby/creative passion project to fill up your new found time. "Done is better than perfect" don't let the fear of not knowing how to do things stop you from starting. I jumped into this knowing nothing about podcasting and now I've created a world of knowledge and resources. Please keep listening to episodes and sharing them. The project is over but these stories still have value, re-listen to your favorite interviews and checkout ones you didn't have time to listen to before. Thank you for all the support you've shown me, it truly means the world to me. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/delmard/support [https://anchor.fm/delmard/support]

Mr. Kenneth B. Morris descends from two of the most influential names in American history: he is the great-great-great grandson of Frederick Douglass and the great-great-grandson of Booker T. Washington. In honor of black history month, I interview Ken about his family’s legacy of anti-slavery and educational work as co-founder and president of the nonprofit Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives (FDFI). Lastly, he shares some exciting updates such as an upcoming Frederick Douglass musical in Washington DC and a movie that is in the early stages of development.

Warsan is a first generation Somali-American. We share a very similar upbringing and unpack the intersections of our culture. Her family's immigration journey later shaped her passion for international development. Warsan worked for the International Rescue Committe (IRC) and the United Nations. Living and working in New York City for the last few years has sparked her interest in tech and print marketing. In addition, she is currently working on developing a few upcoming creative and entrepreneurial projects...be on the lookout! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/delmard/support [https://anchor.fm/delmard/support]

Dr. Erica King Toler (aka Dr. EKT) is a SEEK Counselor at John Jay College. In this episode, we discuss her personal and family's journey in education, specifically as black people in this country. From Jim Crow to school segregation to the present day realities of schooling, her family tree seems like a historical timeline. Listen to the advice Dr. EKT gives other black parents as we wrap up 2019. We will be on a mid-season break and will start again in early February! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/delmard/support [https://anchor.fm/delmard/support]
