In this powerful episode of Real Talk Radio, we sit down with Ms. Alexandrea Drake, Assistant Director of Residential Living at Piedmont University, to explore critical issues shaping society today. From understanding the intricacies of running a business and the reality of financial freedom to challenging the narrative around blue-collar work, we tackle the importance of rethinking societal norms.

We dive into the value of HBCUs, their underrepresentation and underfunding, and how every individual—not just celebrities—can spark meaningful change for these foundations. Ms. Drake shares insights on the importance of Black history, the roots of a fractured community, and how awareness can drive collective growth. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about empowerment, education, and breaking down barriers to build a stronger future.
