This show is about presenting different perspectives and points of view on topics trending in our communities and families today and understanding the experiences/backstories behind those perspectives. Most people come to a feeling or belief about something, based on past experiences or first-hand knowledge. This affirming and validating information-sharing makes it ever so important for others to respectfully ask curious questions and share opposing feelings/beliefs in a way that does not cause offense or creates further divisive harm to our human relationships.

    Above and Beyond with Jenna
    Mar 9 2026

    This episode moves beyond the "binary" of accessibility to explore the lived reality of disability advocacy. Hosts Lachandra and Brian are joined by Jenna Odenberg—Bush Fellow, author of Within My Spokes, and founder of Above and Beyond with U.

    Jena shares her journey from navigating rural Minnesota in a manual wheelchair to a 20-year career as a music educator. From the "fixed mindset" of teachers who said she couldn't play trumpet left-handed to the vital "A" in DEIA, Jena illustrates why inclusion must be a commitment, not just a checklist. The trio dives into why we must design with people, not just for them—and even settles the "over vs. under" toilet paper debate with a perspective on accessibility you’ve likely never considered.

    In this episode of Everything’s Not Black and White, Lachandra sits down with Dr. Eugene Manley Jr., a biomedical scientist and CEO of the STEMM and Cancer Health Equity Foundation, to discuss the life-saving necessity of measurable equity. Dr. Manley shares his harrowing personal experiences with medical racism—from witnessing his mother’s mistreatment to navigating a recent surgical recovery where his pain and expertise were ignored by hospital staff. Together, they explore how to turn empathy into a performance metric, the importance of diversifying funding for social impact, and practical frameworks for patients to advocate for themselves within fragmented systems. It is a raw, insightful conversation about shifting from mere survival to true thriving in the face of systemic challenges.
