Akil Cole
Spiritual Spaces is a mini-series from Akil Cole and Kelvin Doe, two members of Georgetown University's Black Interfaith Fellowship. We seek to serve as a resource for other spiritually, religiously, and philosophically curious black students at Georgetown University. Our series will include interviews with faith and spirituality chaplains on campus from the following traditions: the Dharmas, Judaism, Protestant Christianity, Orthodox Christianity, Catholicism, and Islam.
In today's episode, Kelvin and Akil sit down with one another to have an emotional, mental, and spiritual check-in with one another. With the Summer well underway, the two students reflect on the ups & downs of the Spring semester, personal development, and how it feels to be back home (Texas for Kelvin, Florida for Akil).
