In this powerful episode of More Than 2 Min, host Wil E. sits down with motivational speaker, bestselling author, and community leader Dr. A'londa Barber- Kusimo for a deeply personal conversation about faith, identity, trauma, leadership, and transformation.

Dr. Kusimo shares her journey from growing up in Oak Cliff, via Dallas Tx., attending Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts; from being mentored by Savion Glover and Gregory Hines to become a certified hoofer, to navigating trauma, identity struggles, and mental health challenges before ultimately discovering freedom through faith.

She also discusses her work in community leadership, running for DeSoto City Council, and founding the DeSoto African-American Heritage Society to preserve the city’s rich Black history.
