Today we’re sitting down with Ahmari Alford. College student. Double major in anthropology and international studies with a concentration in the Middle East and North Africa. Pre-law track. Interning at an International relations firm whilst working the stationery retail circuit (can you hear my little artist heart going badump badump!?). Pure human dynamo in the form of a Man Repeller muse and total style maven.

We talk a little on the ways in which we are shaped and molded, how our geographical locations play a part in this, and the performative and personal dialogues we hold with ourselves whilst engaging with the world around us. As an academically accelerated individual, what does that compartmentalization look like? Education, extracurricular, community service, a multitude of sports, friends, internships, work, health. Jokingly, but not so jokingly, I suggested Ahmari throw running the podcast in there too. So when there’s so much feeding your identity, how do you make sure you’re still showing up as you?

From the mind and heart of someone who’s transitioning into womanhood, I like to think of this episode as a precursor to the New Year. That through Ahmari, we see the endless multifacetedness within us, and all we have to do is answer.

This is Ep 31 Yellow Brick Road PART 1 with Ahmari Alford.
