  • The Truth About Being a Black Resident Assistant at a Predominantly White College

    The Truth About Being a Black Resident Assistant at a Predominantly White College
    Jul 20 2026
    What was it really like to become one of the few Black Resident Assistants at a predominantly white university in the late 1980s?

    In this episode of IN THE KNOW with Tony Reeves, I share the story behind my unexpected journey from a freshman who never believed he would be hired to becoming a Resident Assistant—and eventually training future RAs on diversity, culture, and leadership.

    This isn’t just a story about college housing. It’s about learning to navigate unfamiliar spaces, leading with authenticity, confronting racial realities with honesty, and discovering that your greatest challenges often become your greatest qualifications to lead.

    For members of Black Generation X, these weren’t theoretical conversations—they were lived experiences that shaped how we learned to succeed in integrated America.

    If you’ve ever questioned whether you belonged, this conversation is for you.

    If this episode resonated with you, please follow the podcast, leave a rating and review, and share it with someone who has ever wondered what it meant to navigate college, leadership, and race during the 1980s.

  • The Haircut That Taught Me About Perception vs. Reality

    The Haircut That Taught Me About Perception vs. Reality
    Jul 15 2026
    Sometimes the smallest experiences become the biggest teachers.

    As a freshman at the University of Tampa in 1987, all I wanted was a haircut before ROTC. Instead, I encountered racial assumptions, unexpected kindness, and a lesson about perception versus reality that has stayed with me for decades.

    In this companion episode, I reflect on how one ordinary afternoon helped shape my understanding of race, community, and judging people based on firsthand experience instead of fear or stereotypes.

    This is another chapter in my ongoing Black Generation X journey. Call to Action If this episode resonated with you, please follow the podcast, leave a rating or review, and share it with someone who appreciates honest conversations about history, race, and personal growth.

    I’d also love to hear about a time when your own experience challenged what you had always been told.

  • Was I Being Profiled? A Black Generation X College Experience

    Was I Being Profiled? A Black Generation X College Experience
    Jul 13 2026
    As a freshman at the University of Tampa, I experienced something that would repeat itself every single year: university police stopping me while I walked across campus at night to ask for my student ID.

    Were they simply doing their jobs? Or was I being singled out because I was one of the few Black students on campus? The truth is, I still don’t know.

    In this episode, I explore one of the defining experiences of Black Generation X—living in a world where discrimination wasn’t always obvious, but where many of us constantly questioned whether race played a role in how we were treated. Sometimes the hardest part wasn’t proving discrimination.
    It was never knowing for sure.

    If you’re part of Generation X—or if you’ve ever questioned whether an experience was about who you were rather than what you did—this conversation may resonate with you.


    Have you ever experienced a situation where you couldn’t tell whether you were being treated differently—or whether there was another explanation? Share your story in the comments. I’d love to hear your perspective, especially from fellow Generation X listeners.
