How can the privilege of choice or beauty shape our lives in unexpected ways?
Join us in our premiere episode of "It's a Privilege" as we uncover profound truths about the privileges we often overlook. Inspired by my TEDx talk, "The Possibilities of Privilege," this season kicks off with a series of enlightening conversations with notable guests. Dr. John Francis, also known as the Planet Walker, shares his extraordinary journey of living without speech and motorized transport for decades, revealing the deep-seated implications of the privilege of choice. Meanwhile, fashion industry veteran Brian Rusch brings to light the hidden dynamics of the privilege of beauty, drawing from his experiences with iconic figures like Mariah Carey and the Dalai Lama.
We don't stop there. Our series boasts over 25 diverse and knowledgeable guests who will offer fresh perspectives on various forms of privilege. Dr. Bowtie Jenkins, a leader in global inclusion, will challenge you to rethink the privilege of social agility and its impact on our interactions.
Each episode promises to educate and inspire, encouraging you to recognize and responsibly use your own privileges.

If you haven't already known, it's based upon my TEDx talk that I gave back in March 2024 called the possibilities of privilege, where that explores different ways that we can think about our privilege. Here's a quick clip. You might have more privilege than me, and that's okay. In fact, I think that might be a good thing. There's three ways to shake the possibilities of privilege responsibly. There's three ways to shake the pot safely One, know your privileges. Two, use your privileges to help yourself. And then three, use your privileges to help others. Those are three ways that we can use our privilege and that's the foundation of this podcast. What are all the areas in our lives that we have privilege that we might not be thinking of, and how can we use it for ourselves and for others? So what can you expect? Who's going to be on it? What kind of topics are we diving into? Here are a few examples. We have Dr John Francis, the planet walker. He's a person who chose to not speak for 17 years or drive any motorized vehicle. For 22 years he sat, he walked and he listened, and with him we talk about the privilege of choice. We have Brian Rush. He's a person who's worked in fashion and in creating peace and creating change. He's worked with folks from Mariah Carey to the Dalai Lama. He's a fascinating human and we dig into the privilege of beauty. We have Dr Bowtie Jenkins.
