    2024/04/18
    Lillie is a Cohort 14 Fellow, and all other labels don’t really suffice to describe her. She joins me to share the drastic movements in her personal journey with surprising candor and unsettling maturity. I am grateful and indebted to Lillie for her honesty and kindness. Her spirit shines through and her cheer brightens our community. She made this interview so satisfying and inspiring for me, and it is my wish for you to feel the same.

  • Devin Kodsi / Part 2 — Nerds, Scientists and Engineers

    Devin Kodsi / Part 2 — Nerds, Scientists and Engineers
    2024/03/08

    Devin concludes this 2-part special episode with a little insight into what life and community is like for someone in so many nerdy spaces. He's fascinated by space and science and is truly motivated to learn as an engineer, a scientist, a nerd, and also a friend. We are also interested in the social implications of being in engineering and physics programs. Everyone is aware of the stigmas associated with the tracks that Devin finds himself on. We reflect on this with a little unease and hope you find it thought-provoking too!

    Maddie Luther — The Best-Laid Plans Of Mice and Men
    2023/12/16
    “In proving foresight may be vain: / The best-laid schemes of mice and men / Go oft awry, / And leave us nothing but grief and pain, / For promised joy!” - Robert Burns. Maddie is a Cohort 16 Fellow whose exploits, involvement, and singular combination of energy and sensibility amazes and puzzles me. I’m honored Maddie let us examine her process together.

  • Anna Benetollo — The Gadfly or The Horse

    Anna Benetollo — The Gadfly or The Horse
    2023/12/07
    Anna is a Cohort 16 Fellow, engineer and Chi Omega. But her life has been far from typical—she talks about living abroad, her family and connections to France. Along with the glamor and excitement of travel, we wonder about the difficulties of balancing two worlds, and finding belonging. It's a problem I've considered too, and it's important for me to share how Anna's responded. Anna displays remarkable courage and sensitivity, and brings curious, considered examination to the kinds of questions we all have. Anna is truly singular and I hope this episode helps showcase why.

  • Jackson Carter — How and Why to Break into Politics

    Jackson Carter — How and Why to Break into Politics
    2023/12/01
    Jackson is a Cohort 15 Fellow, elected public official, and respectable golfer (in his own words). He joins us to share the story of his journey towards politics—it's dramatic, uncommon, yet quite familiar. In his short time in office, he has faced legal opposition, heckling, drama, and it has put a strain on what his place is in the University of Alabama. It was a pleasure for me to learn about these and more, and I hope you find it thought-provoking as well. Tell a Fellow in your life about this episode!
