  • Hustle Speaks Louder than Words: Shannon Forman II

    Hustle Speaks Louder than Words: Shannon Forman II
    May 28 2025

    This week on “Blackness?” I sit down with Shannon Forman, a former ASU football player, coach, and founder of TFLDL Training, to discuss what it truly means to persevere when the lights fade and the crowd is gone.

    Shannon shares how moving from Louisiana to Arizona brought challenges he didn’t expect and growth he didn’t know he needed. He reflects on his time as a player, the shift into coaching, and how building his own football development program became a way to give back and build forward.

    This episode is about grit. It’s about growth. And it’s about the work we do when no one’s watching, the kind of hustle that speaks for us louder than any words ever could.

    In this episode, Tobi Aluko shares what it means to move through the world as a creative, student, and leader while unapologetically Black. We talk about breaking free from the pressure to fit into a single mold, the intersections of art and identity, and how he’s building community through Culture Kitchen AZ. It’s a conversation about self-definition, staying grounded, and choosing authenticity every time.
