Hey there, everybody. It is your homegirl, CoachLeah. I am coming to you all here on the pages of insight News to complete what we call a “Journalist Trifecta” [JT]. Our premier episode of After the Whistle, Livestreamed on the Black Press USA, and Insight News YouTube channels, was packed full of everything wonderful that I could have ever imagined.
Starting with a warm welcome by Insight News Editor and Chief, Al McFarlane, who also serves as Co-Executive producer of CoachLeah’s After the Whistle, and concluding with a shoutout to Insight News, as our celebrated Community Collaborator for their stellar community engagement, the hour-long Tuesday afternoon “meeting of the minds” was lighthearted and insightful. The time flew by very quickly as our Distinguished Diamond, Dr. Chelsea Mikael Frazier, a professor at Cornell University and founder of Ask An Amazon, graced us by sharing what her life is like – After the Whistle.
DISTINGUISHED DIAMOND
For our very first Distinguished Diamond honoree, Dr. Chelsea M. Frazier, gave us a glimpse as to what she’s been up to since her selection as a “Diamond” almost 20 years ago and shared the following quote, her favorite, that she strives to live by:
All that you touch, you change.
All that you change, changes you.
The only lasting truth is change.
– Octavia Butler

Dr. Frazier explained, “I keep that sentiment as close as possible … humans don’t really like change all that much, but I’m somebody who likes to keep things comfortable and likes to keep things feeling good. So reminding myself that there is no growth without change, [and] there is no evolution without change. There is no challenge. There’s no fun without change most of the time. So that is a quote that I come back to again and again.”
