TThoughts Podcast – But I think I’m the only one
Lately, Iāve been grappling with the sense that the work I produce is slipping into a void, unheard and unacknowledged. I’ve poured time, energy, and passion into exploring topics I believe matter deeplyāyet the response often feels like a haunting silence. Listening to TThoughts Podcasts, where a young Black woman boldly shares her political musings, I’m struck by the courage it takes to put ideas out there, regardless of the echo or response.
It feels lonely to question systems, to critique social policies, and to dissect the nuances of political theory without feeling seen or heard. Still, perhaps thereās a deeper meaning in sharing perspectives, even when they seem to go unnoticed. Maybe itās about planting seeds, sending out ripples we may not immediately see.
This feeling of “shouting into the void” reminds me that building awareness and change, especially on complex issues, can be a quiet, slow process. Maybe itās okay if my voice, and the voices of others like me, reach just one person today and another tomorrow. One day, those small connections may turn the quiet into a resonant call for change.

TThoughts Podcast – Can anybody hear me?
What do you do to be involved in the community?
This post seems very timely as it is the anniversary of my podcast. Happy 6th birthday to my podcast, yes I promise this is connected to my contribution to my community. I wrote a while ago about how it’s hard to stay consistent in content creation and that has been true not only in my blogging but in the recording of my podcast.
I love reading and to be fair after university it has become difficult to read fiction. I primarily read non-fiction and so most of what I read I feel the arrogant need to share with others for their own good. At some point I realized that unlike at university life is not a seminar and generally people are not interested in debating or learning more. The only people that may be interested in debating you are on twitter and to be fair they are not doing so in good faith nor are they actually interested in the ideas you are trying to share.
I read a few things and listened to a lot of podcasts and my conclusion is explained best by Seneca who says “I am acting on behalf of later generations. I am writing down a few things that may be of use to them.” The older I got I realized that as a black woman there are so many things that I did not know that impact my life, my community and a little guidance may have prevented a lot of things or at least helped in the understanding of many things. So while I was learning more things about finances, voting, colorism or just nutrition, I figured I would write down what I am learning because even though people may not be open to what I have learnt at the moment there will come a time when they will be and at that point I would have written and recorded a few things for them.
My contribution to my community is the things I am learning and even though if often feels like it is falling on deaf ears, I continue because of the chance that a young black woman may wish to know why is it important to budget, hold political parties accountable and so she knows that someone grappled with the same questions and they took some notes for her to use, update or disregard.
My involvement in my community is sharing knowledge that they may not realize they need yet.
