In this episode, I’m reflecting on recent community building efforts that I’m engaging in with local community members, the importance of mission, vision, and goal alignment, and how I’m trying to navigate what I perceive as some potential misalignment.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it really means to build community when conflict, friction, and messiness come up. I talk through the difference between calling people out and calling them in—and why accountability, context, care, and restoration matter if we actually want community to be sustainable. I don’t expect perfection from anyone — I damned sure don’t fit the bill — I want folks to stay connected while each of us continues to grow.

In this episode, I’m checking in from a little neighborhood park to reflect on the personal development framework I’ve been building and rebuilding over the past few years. What started as a digital system inside Notion—organized around goals, projects, tasks, and areas of life—worked well for a while. But over time, I began questioning my reliance on digital tools and started craving something more tactile and creative.

After a hand injury and surgery forced me to slow down, I found myself missing writing, sketching, and journaling. That experience nudged me toward a new iteration of my system—this time centered around notebooks, reflection practices, and a framework connecting my values, priorities, projects, goals, habits, and tasks.

I’m still experimenting and iterating, but I’m learning to take smaller bites and give myself more grace along the way.

If you’re building your own personal development system, I’d love to hear what’s working for you.

I had all these intentions for what I wanted to talk about / do on one of my few days off from work, but things didn't necessarily work out the way that I intended. Once I shed some of those expectations and channeled what was really on my heart, it came together quite naturally. Tune in for another one of my personal self-reflections followed by some encouragement for you. Please engage with me by sharing your insights, reflections, and other thoughts down in the comments.

I’m sorry I’ve been away, but I promise I’ve been working on something special. I was invited to be a part of a new project with a podcast serving as a platform to engage with the Black Community in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. I haven’t just been invited to participate in front of the camera, but also behind the camera and behind the scenes in truly building out this new venture. I’ve loved being able to flex my creative muscles in collaboration with others in benefit to our shared community. Tune in to the first episode of the Willamette Block Party and stay tuned for more content from that project being share on this feed. Make sure to follow @willametteblockparty on Instagram, subscribe to the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts (we’re working on sharing to additional platforms), and subscribe to the YouTube channel for monthly podcast episodes and additional video content.

Episode Summary:

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Willamette Block Party! Join your hosts Ray White, Allie Saunders, and Xavier “xInYaFaceDotCom” Hudson as they kick off their new podcast dedicated to highlighting "ALL THINGS BLACK within the Willamette Valley."

From first impressions of Oregon to deep reflections on cultural connection, belonging, and goals for the future, this conversation sets the tone for what the Block Party is all about: joy, honesty, and community-building in the place we call home.

In this episode from the end of July, I tried to embody the theme of "Reclaiming Your Narrative" in one of the ways that I know best. Even though I had written blog posts, utilized tools to aid in my self-reflection, and encouraged others to apply the theme throughout the month, I felt like I was faking the funk. I have been subjected to mischaracterizations and false narratives from others in the last year. I have felt restricted from sharing wonderful things as well as extremely challenging things in my life. I don't have a desire to have all my business out in the streets, but I allow others to keep dictating my story. So, in order to combat all that bull**** I returned to a form of self-expression that has helped me to stand tall in the sharing of my voice, my emotions, my experience, my perspective, and of myself -- these bars. These are true freestyles, meaning "off the dome". If any part of my message made you feel something, let me know down in the comments.

Be on the lookout for more content including more information about August's theme!

Unbeknownst to my brother, I’m setting up an interview for one of the shows. I want to give him a platform to share more about himself and to share about some of the changes in his life. I am also really excited to touch base with him about my work on these various projects. He has been one of my strongest supporters and a really good sounding board, so I know he’ll be happy to hear that I’m back on my grind.

I’m getting back to business, but there are also some new things on the horizon. I’ll be trying out some different styles of content in the future, so stay tuned. If you don’t already have my social media locked in, do me a favor and prioritize: Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. The name is the same on all of them: @xinyafacedotcom.

It’s #VeganGangOrDontBang around here ya’ll! Lol, I’m just playing. On this episode of the podcast, I put folks on to a nearby donut shop with vegan options; I share about my path to becoming vegan; and I give some encouragement for folks who are trying to make changes to their diet and/or wellness. As you’ve come to expect, the stream-of-consciousness style is still present and I’m putting it out there unfiltered.
