He walked in space, but hates roller coasters. ๐Ÿš€ Go figure!


In this episode of BACKtalk, we sit down with Dr. Bernard A. Harris Jr., the first African American to walk in space, to talk about his surprising fears, his journey from humble beginnings to NASA astronaut, and why his biggest mission today is helping Black and Brown kids unlock their potential through STEM, education, and mentorship.


Dr. Harris shares powerful advice for parents raising children to dream without limits, how to nurture curiosity early, and what it really means to invest in the future, from the classroom to venture capital. Parents, get his book for yourself titled, Embracing Infinite Possibilities: Letting Go Of Fear To Find Your Highest Potential.


๐ŸŽง Donโ€™t miss this inspiring conversation full of laughter, legacy, and life lessons for the whole village.
