Season 2 Episode 1: Emerging Luminary with Tyshaun Brewer

Season 2 opens with podcast host, one of Dr. Tanya Boucicaut's forever students, Tyshaun Brewer, a college senior, who shares how Norfolk State shaped his voice and why civic engagement, social justice, and community. Tanya and Tyshaun revisit his experience in the Courage Summer Program (youth summer theater program) and explore how mentorship and artistic expression shaped Tyshaun’s path from performance to social work and civic activism. He discusses leading on campus, organizing in the community, speaking at forums, and choosing social work so that he can serve communities while advocating for policies that support them. We sit with mentorship, purpose, and the power of the HBCU family. This conversation feels like home and a call to keep showing up for each other. *Note: Still learning about recording and editing.
