Black Gen X and the Survival Code: Learning to Navigate Without a Roadmap
In this companion podcast to the main video, Tony Reeves reflects on how Black Generation X learned to navigate college, career, and predominantly white spaces without always having mentors or guides in place.
The episode explores performance, self-sufficiency, safe spaces, organic support, racial identity, and the “show and prove” mindset that shaped many Black Gen X professionals.
After listening, go watch the full video for the deeper breakdown. Then leave a comment and share your own experience: Who helped guide you when no formal roadmap existed — and what did you have to learn on your own?
