How can the privilege of choice or beauty shape our lives in unexpected ways?

Join us in our premiere episode of "It's a Privilege" as we uncover profound truths about the privileges we often overlook. Inspired by my TEDx talk, "The Possibilities of Privilege," this season kicks off with a series of enlightening conversations with notable guests. Dr. John Francis, also known as the Planet Walker, shares his extraordinary journey of living without speech and motorized transport for decades, revealing the deep-seated implications of the privilege of choice. Meanwhile, fashion industry veteran Brian Rusch brings to light the hidden dynamics of the privilege of beauty, drawing from his experiences with iconic figures like Mariah Carey and the Dalai Lama.

We don't stop there. Our series boasts over 25 diverse and knowledgeable guests who will offer fresh perspectives on various forms of privilege. Dr. Bowtie Jenkins, a leader in global inclusion, will challenge you to rethink the privilege of social agility and its impact on our interactions. 

Each episode promises to educate and inspire, encouraging you to recognize and responsibly use your own privileges. Mark your calendars for August 9th, 2024, and subscribe on your favorite podcast platform or YouTube. Let's embark on this transformative journey together every Friday with "It's a Privilege.
