Chill Reads is a new addition to the Peace Love Power podcast. Chill Reads features authors (usually myself) reading their own writing over a smooth beat. If you want to read along, you can find the article posted on the Peace Love Power website under the chill reads section.

This read is an article titled Make Work Nobody, which was inspired by Ms. Lauryn Hill's verse from the Nas track Nobody. This article discusses a root systemic issue behind the great resignation, the increase in job hopping, and the concept of quiet quitting–a reason that is as old as the U.S. and its mythos: the lack of trust, autonomy, and respect given to U.S. workers.

Embrace the workplace revolution. Make work nobody.

This is the first episode for Peace Love Power. We're going to "let the ugly hang" as we talk about the dynamics and power of friendship. To kick us off, this episode features an interview with Dr. Enrique Neblett who is a professor of Health Behavior & Health Education at the University of Michigan in addition to serving as the Associate Director for the Detroit Academic-Community Urban Research Center. Dr. Neblett and I kick it and discuss potential connections between friendship and mental health.

Join us on this journey!
