Relatively Nobody
Conversations in service of representing the underrepresented. Hosted by chosen sisters, activists, artists, and anti-racists Zulaikha and Gia, Relatively Nobody gives voice to people, ideas, and art that have been erroneously dismissed. The conversations center around the experience of universal human emotions, hard truths, paradoxes, and a call to remain open to new understandings. Music credit: Eliot Johnson

Zulaikha and Gia have a joyful and real chat with Zulaikha's friend and coworker DeRon Brown. In this episode they talk with DeRon about his entry into the practice of mindfulness, his first silent meditation retreat, and how he thought he could hack the practice for his own happiness.
DeRon grew up in a small city in southwest Virginia. Later he moved to Boston, Massachusetts where he got his bachelors in computer science and engineering from MIT, as well as a couple of All-American football honors. A career mobile app developer, DeRon has an eclectic taste in music, enjoys only critically-acclaimed television shows, and loves eating Oreos, bacon, and Skittles. He currently lives in Boston with his wife Felicia and their Shiba Inu Myles.
