I've been itching to kickstart my own podcast for a while now. With a background in videography and the basic equipment on hand, I kept telling myself, "Now's not the perfect time." But then it hit me – if I keep waiting for that elusive "perfect time," I'll never get started. So, I decided to dive in behind the scenes.

It's been a journey filled with time, effort, and yes, quite a bit of investment. But I'm thrilled to announce that my podcast, Diverse Narratives, is finally ready to see the light of day! Michelle O'Donnell Bourne will be joining me as an occasional co-host, adding even more depth to our discussions.

Stay tuned, because shortly, we'll be releasing an intro episode 0 that explains the why behind this podcast. I'd love your support in this exciting venture. Please subscribe to the podcast on YouTube for the video version, and on your favorite podcast platforms. Let's make this journey together! 🎙️
