Most of us have left our new year resolutions behind us because we could not sustain the expectations we set for ourselves.  If you knew you can set up a new start every day or every hour, would that change how you strategize on your goals and how you go about in achieving them?
In this podcast, we talk about persevering by setting realistic expectations to who you are and by embracing the challenges and discomfort of pursing your goals.

Do I consider myself an African American from America or a Congolese African? I end with talking about the important of coming along side people to learn about their experiences instead of imposing your perspectives on them.

Comparing Immigrant Groups to Native Underserve Groups

In this Podcast I talk about experiences I have had in the last 10 years with buying homes and making bad financial decisions. You can't allow failures be your identity. It is about what you do with what you learn through the failures what will allow you to fail forward.

During my reflection, I delve into some of the key themes from the "ALL In" podcast, unpacking various topics they explored: Meritocracy, the impact of DEI on Hollywood, Color Blindness, and the pursuit of building a just world.

The Pursue of Killing DEI

Persevere To Excel Podcast is hosted by Deo Mwano. It focuses on story of how people persevere in life through different circumstances. Persevere to Excel, is self-explanatory. Exceeding the average takes sustained effort. But what is perseverance? Where does it come from? What fuels it? Perseverance is often mistaken for “toughing it out.” But toughing it out is an adrenaline rush, good for the short run but not the long haul. Toughing it out is running on empty, which is not sustainable. Perseverance, on the other hand, is a renewable energy source. It is fueled through constant introspection and acquisition, by forces inside you and outside you. Only by identifying those forces is perseverance possible. And only with genuine perseverance is it possible to excel.
