Episode #3 - I'm Not Here
Black Identity, Belonging, and Getting Things Done with Alex Dumas
Welcome to Episode Three of YELL FIRE! Conversations about the lie of white supremacy and how to fight it. My guest is speaker, author, and coach Alex Dumas.
“I’m not here” was the lingering belief Alex carried from youth into early adulthood.
Where was Alex supposed to fit in? The youngest child with siblings at least six years older than him, he was on his own at home. He was a black kid going to a mostly white prep school. The kids in his neighborhood mostly went to public school, and showing up in a blazer and penny loafers was not winning him any popularity contests around home.
In 2014, Alex met his now partner in life, Sarah. Alex says, “She reignited what I already had inside of me: a desire to serve, a hunger to achieve, and a voice!”
Find out how a Black man in Felon47s America has found ways to thrive and share his knowledge, expertise, and drive through keynote speeches and as vice president of BIPOC Coach Collective.
