Pride Talks Responsibility with Artist and Breast Cancer Survivor
RALEIGH, N.C. (Oct. 5, 2020) – In the latest episode of Your Point of Pride – The Podcast, Dr. Nicole Pride speaks with clinical research assistant and independent artist, Colandra McDowell, about her hard-won battle against breast cancer and her sense of responsibility to help other women on their journey.<br /> <br /> “My conversation with Colandra was both insightful and awe-inspiring,” Pride said. “I am grateful for her candor, her vulnerability, and her willingness to aid women who need to see someone who looks like them who have faced some of the same challenges.”<br /> <br /> McDowell was diagnosed with Stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma in 2018 just minutes before performing a show. In the conversation, McDowell will share more about how and why the show had to go on. In the year after her diagnosis, she endured six rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy and radiation therapy.<br /> <br /> Now cancer-free, McDowell has created <a href="http://www.anotherbrownface.com/">AnotherBrownFace.com</a> as a repository for resources women to gain knowledge, see the change, and beat the odds.<br /> <br /> A singer with a rich tone and love for diverse genres of music, McDowell is a member of a musical family who spent her childhood watching her father and uncles perform with their gospel quartet. From them, she would learn the art of performance and delivery while sneaking to listen to the secular artists that were forbidden in her home.<br /> <br /> While attending North Carolina State University, McDowell became a part of the music department, taking voice lessons and learning more about the history of the music she loved.

Raleigh-based scholar joins Pride to talk ‘Sacrifice’
RALEIGH, N.C. (Sept. 7, 2020) – During a pivotal time for the entire nation, Dr. Nicole Pride has called upon an independent scholar and nonprofit founder, Dr. LaWanda Simpkins, to discuss the least talked about aspect of success – sacrifice.<br /> <br /> Simpkins is currently a teaching instructor at East Carolina University, a training consultant with the Renaissance Education Group Inc., and serves as president of her nonprofit organization, <a href="https://ourcreativejustice.com/">Creative Justice Inc</a>. As an academic, she specializes in courses and curriculum development in the areas directly connected to women’s and gender studies, race, and adult education. Her organization specializes in creating spaces for impactful conversations that center social justice and advocacy.<br /> <br /> “LaWanda’s journey to becoming the best version of herself is one of constant reflection and great resilience,” Pride said. “I am excited for everyone to hear this conversation because it is important that we all remember that the best parts of our life are often those parts we never planned for.”<br /> <br /> In the conversation recorded last spring, Simpkins spoke about knowing the things she wanted for her life and having to figure out just how she was going to maintain it all.<br /> <br /> “I remember last spring, I was teaching a women’s and gender studies course. We were reading this chapter on women and workplace and it was emotional for me,” Simpkins said in the conversation. “I was thinking, ‘this is real life for me’, because I was that crossroad – do I choose my career or do I choose my family? Many people say that you can have both, but, what does that look like?”<br /> <br /> For Simpkins, it looks like teaching online from home while simultaneously raising her daughters, Zilah and Yuri, and newborn son, Xendae, with her husband Marcell. The Raleigh, North Carolina resident holds a bachelor’s in business administration marketing and a master’s in adult education from North Carolina A&T State University, and a doctorate in educational leadership and cultural foundations from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Pride Taps Atlanta-based Journalist to talk ‘Passion’
RALEIGH, N.C. (August 3, 2020) – For the third installment of Your Point of Pride – The Podcast, Dr. Nicole Pride has called upon an Atlanta-based, Emmy Award-winning namesake, Nicole Carr, to discuss passion.<br /> <br /> Carr is currently an investigative journalist with Channel 2 Action News, the local ABC affiliate. Since joining WSB-TV, Carr has interviewed an alleged NSA leaker, uncovered faulty data from the Georgia Department of Health in relation to COVID-19 testing, and has been involved with investigations into alleged misconduct and corruption by a Georgia district attorney.<br /> <br /> “In a time when hard-nosed, truth-seeking journalism is going unappreciated, I found my conversation with Nicole to be a much-needed breath of fresh air,” Pride said. “She is one of those rare people who has managed to follow a career path that allowed her to pursue her true passion."<br /> <br /> In their 40-minute conversation, Carr and Pride discussed meeting the challenges associated with the pursuit of passion, self-motivation, and becoming the best version of themselves.<br /> <br /> “I don’t think that we can properly assess or put anything in life in context until we are honest with ourselves about what we’re dealing with,” Carr said in the conversation. “I try to understand that truth can come in many different forms. It’s not debatable, but it is complex and many things can be true at the same time.”<br /> <br /> While Carr has been in Atlanta for more than two years, she has North Carolina ties – first as an Army Brat living with her family in Fayetteville when her father was stationed at Fort Bragg, later as a proud graduate of Winston-Salem State University, and most recently as a former reporter in the Piedmont Triad and Raleigh-Durham television markets.<br /> <br /> Carr has also worked in Nashville, is a past fellow for the International Center for Journalists, and holds a master’s degree from Syracuse University. Story- and truth-telling might be Carr’s job, but she finds her most important work to be at home as a wife and mother to her three children.
