unorthodoxrel: Recent Episodes
unorthodoxrel
contrary to what is usual, traditional, or accepted; not orthodox.
this podcast highlights the lives of those who go against the grain and rarely get the chance to share their story.
for inspirational purposes only.
This episode is a bit different. I sit down with my best friend, Monica Howard, to discuss her journey through life, what she has learned along the way, and how she has always walked by faith. This episode is for anyone who has a dream and those who continue to dream. <3

This episode is split into two parts: New York Times latest racial inequity of Covid-19 article and my Ways & Means Committee Testimonial. Structural racism, the historical and contemporary policies, practices, and norms that create and maintain white supremacy, exacerbate the social determinants of health that led to the rise of coronavirus deaths in Black and Brown communities. Take the virus seriously.

I sat down with my long time friend, Jasmina Cunmulaj, to discuss all of her unorthodox endeavors. From modeling, pageants, academia, and cooking, Jasmina has learned how her passions made her able to walk in her purpose. This episode touches on one's "image", overcoming adversity, and the importance of helping vulnerable populations if you have the privilege to do so. I am constantly inspired by Jasmina’s “change the world” attitude and impressed by how fast she implements change.

I had my first ever remote recording with the one and only Jeffery Ediagbonya who embodies the meaning of being unorthodox. He dubs himself as an artist, art critic, fashion enthusiast, and a lover of music, but still finds a way to incorporate STEM into his practice. In this episode, you will get to learn more about the inspiration behind his two art exhibitions, "Don't Ask Questions" and "Spontaneous Combustion", where he draws his inspiration, and what he plans on doing next. Also, this might be my first interview with a future president??

This is my first solo episode and it is basically a story time. I explain a story on how I never gave up on a dream and trusted God's divine timing. I would suggest anyone to listen to this if you feel lost, confused, and a tad bit hopeless. I want to give you the hope you need to never give up on the dream. I am saving details for the episode so give it a listen. :)
