   Dr Sherice Nelson PhD "Visibly Invisible"

   On this powerful and thought-provoking episode we welcome Dr. Sherice J. Nelson, PhD Professor, Political Scientist, Scholar, Political Strategist, and author of Visibly Invisible: Black Women of the Congressional Black Caucus. Born and raised in East Oakland, California, Dr. Nelson takes us on a journey through her early years, sharing the experiences, influences, and defining moments that shaped her passion for politics, education, and advocacy. In this candid conversation, Dr. Nelson explores the complex relationship between Foundational Black Americans, Black Caribbean and African Immigrants, addressing common myths, stereotypes, historical misunderstandings, and the importance of recognizing shared struggles and contributions. Dr. Nelson also shines a much-needed spotlight on the history, sacrifices, and often-overlooked contributions of Black women in American politics. From trailblazers like Shirley Chisholm and Barbara Jordan to countless other women whose courage and determination helped reshape the political landscape, she explains why their stories deserve greater recognition. As the conversation deepens, Dr. Nelson sets the record straight on the importance of voting, political participation, and why every vote matters. She challenges misconceptions, breaks down the political process, and reminds us that understanding our history is essential to shaping our future. But it's not all politics! In a surprising and heartfelt moment, Dr. Nelson answers a question from Alonzo's 2,000 Questions About Me Segment: "What or who is the greatest love of your life?" Her unexpected response reveals another side of this accomplished scholar. From the streets of East Oakland to the halls of University of the District of Columbia, Stillman College, Howard University and current fellow at Loyola University in New Orleans this is a conversation filled with history, truth, education, inspiration, knowledge and awareness. — Real People.

   "Living with Cerebral Palsy" Photographer Josiah Thomas.

   Alonzo sits down with Trinidadian photographer and videographer Josiah Thomas, who shares his remarkable journey of living with Cerebral Palsy while building a career behind the camera. Josiah discusses being, to his knowledge, one of the few professional photographers with cerebral palsy in Trinidad & Tobago and possibly the wider Caribbean. He takes us back to his early life, sharing the important role his parents' love, encouragement, and unwavering support played in helping him pursue his goals. The conversation also addresses some of the everyday challenges faced by people living with disabilities throughout the Caribbean. Josiah speaks candidly about accessibility barriers involving public spaces, transportation, medical services, and other essential parts of daily life, while highlighting the need for greater awareness and inclusion. Josiah also shares how he discovered his passion for photography, how he was introduced to the industry, and the journey that led him to launch his own business, J Cinematography, offering both photography and videography services. His story is a powerful reminder that our lives should not be defined solely by what we cannot do, but by recognizing, developing, and celebrating what we CAN do. Real People.

   Jamaican Scholar & Founder U.W.P Dr Ayo Sekai PhD

   In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, Alonzo sits down with Political Linguist, Scholar, Activist, Author, and Founder of Universal Write Publications, Dr. Ayo Sekai. In this in-depth conversation Dr Ayo talks about her extraordinary journey, education, culture, history, and the power of language. Dr. Sekai reflects on her early years growing up in Kingston, Jamaica, before migrating to Canada and later Brooklyn, New York, during her teenage years. She opens up about some of the difficult experiences that shaped her as a young adult, including facing homelessness, while maintaining her passion for sports, education, and creating a better future for herself. The conversation takes a deeper turn as Dr. Sekai breaks down Linguistic Imperialism—what it means, how language can influence culture, identity, education, and power, and how its effects can appear in everyday life. She also discusses Critical Race Theory, DEI, Black history, Education, and the importance of understanding the language used to frame our history and experiences. Dr. Sekai emphasizes why families should document and archive their own history, photographs, records, stories, and artifacts so future generations have access to their heritage rather than allowing important pieces of family history to disappear. She also discusses her journey in publishing, being recognized among the country's top Black publishers, and the mentors, colleagues, and supporters who helped her along the way. Her work goes beyond surface-level research as she shares the inspiration behind works including “Afrocentric Before Afrocentricity,” “A 2,” and other writings examining history, language, identity, and the African diaspora. And, of course, Dr. Ayo Sekai takes on the AlonzoBash Podcast's signature “2000 Questions About Me” segment, offering an insightful response that brings the conversation full circle as she reflects on faith, belief, purpose, and the principles that continue to guide her life and work. This is a conversation about language, history, education, culture, perseverance, faith, and preserving our stories for generations to come. Just in case you missed it, check out Alonzo's interview with historian, host of The Caribbean Exchange on 88.9FM Baltimore and owner of Every One's Place Bookstore, Brother Natty Nataki. Best known as one of the largest collection of African and Caribbean Literature in the United states. Real People. Real Conversations. www.uwpbooks.com www.AlonzoBash.com
