Sarah and Brody welcome Robert "Swoop" Thomas, an incredible scholar and performance artist to talk about his journey in life. From growing up in Section 8 housing in Los Angeles to becoming a performance scholar with a full scholarship to a PhD program all while fighting through a diagnosis of epilepsy in his first year of his masters program, Swoop teaches us about resilience, fighting racial stereotypes, caring for your mental health, continuously finding yourself and reframing your identity through hardships, and never giving up hope for a better future!
