Sensemaking Through Relevance to Self featuring Keith Jamison
Episode description
Todays episode features one of my former mentees, a dynamic thought leader, Keith Jamison. Keith is a senior at Allegheny College and vulnerably shares his experiences as a Black man at a predominately white institution - and because of this emotional labor I am encouraging those who listen to this episode to compensate Keith for his emotion and energetic labor today. Keith's cashapp is $KJamison1
Discussion topics range from positionality and the present, physical dislocation with emotional and spiritual location, lack of accountability from decision makers, and ancestral spiritual practices.
Three (of many) questions that arose during our chat that I wanted to offer as post listening reflection prompts include:
What is school [work, relationships, roles] actually offering you?
What happens if ideas and decisions don't go as planned?
How do moderation and reciprocation support balance?
