Why Your Voice Matters, Inspiration From The Six Triple Eight & Investing In Your Voice In 2025

Kick off the new year with Bruh, Speak Up! where I reflect on the powerful insights from my conversation with Jael Kerandi, the trailblazing former Student Government Association president at the University of Minnesota. I also dive into the inspiration sparked by Tyler Perry's Netflix film, The Six Triple Eight, which brings to life the remarkable story of the first and only all-Black Women’s Army Corps battalion deployed overseas during World War II. Their courage, resilience, and determination to deliver 17 million pieces of mail serve as a powerful reminder of what it means to rise against the odds. To close, I share actionable tips to help you start—or continue—finding and amplifying your voice in 2025. Tune in for reflection, inspiration, and a challenge to make your mark this year!"
