Show Notes
Our next story comes from a self-described blerd—"black nerd"—our dear friend Stephen Brackett. As a lyricist, poet, activist, member of The Flobots, founder of Youth on Record, and Colorado's Music Ambassador, Stephen has long used his intelligence and powerful writing to draw attention to the causes he believes in. In this story, however, he recounts a few times when his physicality and athleticism were put in the spotlight instead. Stephen told this story live to a virtual audience on 17 March 2021; the theme of the show was "Rebound."
