Hey folks, welcome to season 3. Let's talk about my experience running a community center. This is Part 1 of Year One. I needed two episodes to get all the details in. This episode really gives a lot of introductions and sets up the rest of the series.

Snowmageddon, A psychotic man roaming around, Whitney Houston, trashy texts, and lessons learned. Yeah it was a good year.
A flashback to the second semester of my Senior Year at Howard University.

So what happens you and your best friend decide to create a web series?

So this is about the summer before my Senior Year... Let me just tell you that it was like getting hit by a truck.... Mice, a Mosh pit, and the ER....
So this is the recounting of my father's transition. From his initial diagnosis up until the present time. A tougher episode to record but I'm hoping it connects with someone who may be dealing with the death of a parent or a tragic event.
Ok so let's see... there's breaking and entering, a spy mission, more 8 counts, a bit of scandal, depression, and some excitement.
Where do we begin? The election? Causing someones mom to have a heart attack? A face mask? A ransom note? Yea Junior Year was lit! Who's ready to laugh?
