You won’t want to miss the conclusion of this thoughtful episode. This episode asks the questions: How can we leave doors wide open for younger generations to walk and reap the benefits of our work? What does it mean to stay true to ourselves and our passions in a world that wants us to conform to prescribed constructs? When it’s time for us to pass the mantle, what do we want our life’s work to have been? Who do we want that work to benefit and what systems can we dismantle, and build up stronger and better, in order for future generations to thrive?
The second half of their chat keeps a laser-sharp focus on legacy that begins with a transition into thinking not only about personal legacy but about what we can do to create opportunities for those who follow.

Episode 54: “Walk In Truth,” features an inspiring conversation between Courtney and Melissa Parke, Founder of Black Teaching Artist Lab, LLC and a creative that focuses her work and impact in the arts education world.Ĭourtney’s conversation with Melissa hits on so many touchpoints that we’re certain will resonate with anyone listening like growing up in a time of COVID, what it means to belong and what our perceived placement is in society and our ever-fluctuating relationship with time, process and deadlines as a measurement of success. What drives you creatively and personally? Can you name it or are you still trying to place it? These questions, and so many more, fuel this two-episode arc.

She specifically goes into more detail about the Afro-centric SEL framework she created, noting that the lens through which the framework operates is centered in culture.
