Béalleka Makau is a docteur, a liberation coach, cultural literary education and TEDx Speaker who spoke on the topic of "Radical Empathy Disrupts Entitlement."  However, she will not be discussing nunadat today (However, you can learn more about her on Episode 19 of TNWID)!  Today, I am honored to say, Béalleka will be helping me with a "Take Nothing When I Die" first:  A guest who interviews me!

In this conversation, I spill about:

  1. The ability to be tired AND ALSO grateful
  2. The importance of embracing your geographical history
  3. How a high school leadership program paved the way to creating this platform
  4. What it meant to me to explore my blackness
  5. Why working in the civil rights unit for the Federal Government did not help people the way I thought it would
  6. The search for Black and brown people interested in self-development
  7. Diving into my fear of being wrong
  8. How my path shifts my ancestors' before me and the ones who will come after me
