Interview with Voyage Houston
Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Nealy.
Hi Michael, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA, on the southside. While in elementary school and being a child of teachers, I developed a love for teaching and a desire to be a catalyst focused on change. While playing trumpet in the 8th grade, my band director told me, “Loud doesn’t make it right.” That idea is one that I stand on. We have seen people in our society got promoted because they were loud or did something sensational. Just because something or someone is loud doesn’t make it right or something that should be listened to or given any time, energy, or effort. We should focus on doing good and being the best versions of ourselves.
We discussed educational & wealth gap between black men & women. Also discussed why black men can't get promoted in corporate America.
Episode 1
We discussed racism holding back black men and keeping them from higher paying jobs. Also discussed generational wealth in the black community.
Episode 2
We discussed what can we do to detour our young African-American males from entertainment to working in demand professional fields?
