  • Unseen and Unheard: My First Big Purchase and the Questions That Still Haunt Me

    Unseen and Unheard: My First Big Purchase and the Questions That Still Haunt Me
    Jul 9 2025
    In this personal story, I recount my first major purchase after college—a simple furniture buy that turned into a moment of deep internal conflict. Was I being profiled? Was I invisible because I was young… or Black… or both?

    This isn’t just about a trip to Sears in 1992—it’s about what it means to exist in a space where you’re supposed to belong but don’t feel seen.

    Listen in as I break down the emotions, the questions, and how this moment shaped my perspective as a future discrimination attorney and judge.

  • My HBCU Dreams, My PWI Reality: A Gen X Story

    My HBCU Dreams, My PWI Reality: A Gen X Story
    Jul 2 2025
    In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on my experience as a Black Generation Xer attending a predominantly white university in the years after the civil rights movement. While my dreams were shaped by stories of HBCUs, my reality landed me in a space where I was one of the few — constantly navigating identity, isolation, and subtle forms of exclusion. From culture shock to classroom dynamics, I unpack what it meant to pursue higher education where representation was nearly nonexistent and support often felt just out of reach. This is more than a college story — it’s a lesson in survival, self-discovery, and reclaiming pride in spaces not built for us.In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on my experience as a Black Generation Xer attending a predominantly white university in the years after the civil rights movement.

  • Why Generation X Wasn’t Ready for Change — But Adapted Anyway

    Why Generation X Wasn’t Ready for Change — But Adapted Anyway
    Jun 24 2025
    Generation X was raised to believe that military service, skilled trades, or a college degree would guarantee stability and success. But by the time we entered adulthood, the world had already changed—and no one gave us a new map.

    In this episode of IN THE KNOW with Tony Reeves, I break down why Generation X wasn’t truly prepared for the shifting economic, cultural, and social landscape we inherited. From the decline of unions to the skyrocketing cost of education, we were navigating a world our parents never had to—and doing it in real time.

    This isn’t about blame. It’s about recognition. And it’s about honoring the resilience of a generation that adapted anyway.
    🎧 Tune in to explore:
    • The three “guaranteed” paths Gen X was raised to follow
    • How rapid changes left us unsupported
    • Why Gen X became the bridge generation
    • What it really means to adapt when the rules change mid-game


    Whether you’re Gen X or just curious about how one generation learned to pivot under pressure—this episode is for you.
