Listen "Emmanuel Acho: An Invaluable Conversation"
Episode Synopsis
TW: the murder of George Floyd, suicide
This week your hosts have a dream conversation with a dream guest who offers advice, wisdom, and vulnerability in a jam-packed hour. Emmanuel Acho, former linebacker and star of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, is well versed in the race space and offers insight into his public journey over the past few years. He accomplished something on Taylor’s bucket list — hosting an episode of The Bachelor! Offering exclusive behind the scenes details, Emmanuel reveals that it was actually the hardest thing he’s ever done on camera because of all the nuances. He then shares what led to him starting Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man and his thoughts on Blackout Tuesday. He speaks about allyship, his book Illogical, and what he learned from losing one of his friends to suicide. This conversation is full of useful advice, and your hosts found it to be ultimately invaluable — we hope you agree.
