Black Excellence: Nipsey's Marathon & Beyonce's Homecoming (Featuring Asia Jackson)

The Seeds You Sow

Beyonce's relentless work ethic & Nipsey's consistent hustle has inspired and moved our culture in a number of ways! In this episode we examined how their movements have encouraged us ALL to strive towards excellence and continue doing the work that will empower ourselves and our local communities. There are two articles for you to check out this week: "Nipsey Hussle's Dreams Were Bigger Than Hip-Hop" posted by the LA Times & "Beyonce's Black Intellectual Homecoming" posted by The Atlantic. We analyzed the impact of Nipsey's death, as well as how his work and legacy continues to live on. We defined Beyonce's work as legendary, and talked about how it serves as inspiration for us all to think about how much we're willing to push ourselves to master the gifts we have to share. Both of these figures have demonstrated consistency and sacrifice towards what they believe and have been unapologetic in lifting up black culture and their community. We hope this episode allows you to celebrate the greatness of what is currently happening in our culture and more importantly, we hope it allows you to recognize that the same greatness lives in you!
