After all my interview guest, Dave Coles, is a white British man who, as a young, idealistic volunteer, ventured from his home in the UK to make a difference in Africa. Inspired by a steady diet of colonialism-inspired media narratives and the lyrics of a popular Christmas song by Band Aid, he was sure people in Africa were waiting for people just like him to come and help end their despair by doing something...

Ep 19: What I Thought I Knew
Six months into my sabbatical year in Ghana, I've met new people, seen new sights, and had LOTS of new experiences, like getting malaria, going to a leprosarium (as in, a place where doctors treat leprosy) to see a dermatologist, and swimming in the ocean, etc. I've approached many of these new encounters with preconceived ideas about what they must be like. Yet, over these months I've found that I've had to keep letting go of my preconceived ideas, the things I thought I knew, to keep up with what I've been learning in real time through actual experience.

Ep 14: How to *Not* Be a "White Savior" w/ Casey Kempton
“For me, I the way I view the bakery is really important. I view it as like a tool, or a step, which the people use. I picture the bakery as being like one rung on a ladder for them. Whereas I think a savior mentality is more of like, I personally am the ladder. And I think if you keep in mind that your what you're doing is just kind of one step for them, it kind of it both relieves the pressure to fix someone's situation, but it also kind of eliminates this dependency that charities are cr...

“I have no concept of privilege shame. It’s that I’m blessed. I recognize that I am blessed, and I am blessed for a purpose. And that purpose is to be a blessing to other people. So, my life, if I think about it, is framed by this. [When] I go to Ghana, and I see the poverty around me in my village, I ask myself, “How can I be a blessing in this?” - Eunice Cox, Owner of The Beach House, Ankwanda It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a month since I arrived in G...

Ep 12: Finding My Place
When people ask me why I wanted to move to Ghana, I usually say that I was going there to rest (in spite of the weighty to do list and the stack of books that I've brought along with me!). I would say I was going there to feel the same lightness and serenity that I'd felt on past trips here to visit my friend, walking along the beach, looking out at the ocean. I was going to be transformed through time away. In other words, I was thinking of this time as a...

I invite you to think about an idea that's been knocking at the door to your heart asking you to partner with it so it can, in the words of Elizabeth Gilbert in Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear, "be escorted out of the ether and into the realm of the actual."

Ep 10: How Are We Doing?
Inner transformation work is outer transformation work. Personal development is professional development. Those statements are as true whether you spend your days making widgets or organizing political initiatives around climate change. I started off my career wanting to change the world, but showing up in my work and in my life often paralyzed by perfectionism and anxiety. And I learned through personal experience that even when you leave your job and move across the ocean to escape the forces you feel are holding you back from being at your best, most creative, most innovative and productive self...

The theme of this season of my life must be "chasing dreams". I'm podcasting. I'm training to be a coach. I'm preparing to leave the organization I love and where I've spent my career, to date, to rest for a while and then dive into building my business. And in less than a month, I'm heading to Ghana to stay for at least 3 months, but perhaps much longer. All of this is amazing to me. For years I was stuck, held back from moving towards some of my biggest goals by fear - fear of failure, fear...

Ep 8: Learning How to Feel
For many of my 35 years, I built up the skills and practices of eating my feelings, stuffing down my feelings, lashing out my feelings, scrolling or swiping my feelings, escaping my feelings with my imagination, or busying away my feelings. The idea of feeling my feelings is a relatively new skill that I’ve been learning and practicing over the past year or so. Honestly, I think learning to feel has opened me up more to life, to a broader, deeper, richer, and maybe more fully human experience. But I’m a beginner. And...

Ep 6: "Wait! The Matrix Is in Me?!" w/ Petra Vega
When I started at my first “real” (read: salaried with benefits) job in the community development field, I just knew I’d made it! I was going to get paid to do what I’d always wanted to do – make Detroit a better place for people like my neighbors and myself. To my 24 (ish) year old mind, I was living my happily ever after. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I’d carried certain beliefs about myself, my community, “the way things are”, the impact of my work, and much more to the work. As I was...

Ep 5: "How You Gon' Love the World?"
On Wednesday, I’m going to a funeral for someone who was very dear to me. Mrs. Sophia Ellis was my high school German teacher at Martin Luther King Jr. Senior High School in Detroit. Over the 22 years that I knew her, I had the chance to witness her being herself, loving herself, giving herself permission to show up and be seen. As I grew up, I started to take in how radical it was for her to choose to love herself, to be seen, and have unconditional self-worth when in every way imaginable that cut against the...
