Voices of Disruption with Deborah Olatunji
The Voices of Disruption Podcast is all about showcasing the visionaries of Generation Z and is hosted by the author of Unleashing Your Innovative Genius: High School Redesigned, Deborah Olatunji. This show is for young people with disruptive mindsets (early adapters to much-needed change) who are redesigning systems that do not work and do not serve their purposes anymore, all while having conversations about how to continue to turn our LOUD disruptions into IGNITED agency and CONSISTENT actions. There’s a whole lot of pain and loneliness in the world right now and it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the prospect of knowing what you want to do with your life. This podcast will show you that you can still be a disruptor without having everything all figured out! Each episode will empower you to realize that you can still share your voice with having the entire script perfectly written and edited. The Voices of Disruption Podcast speaks directly to how you can learn to unleash and use your disruptive voice while having a place to plug into to learn new ideas and perspectives and develop yourself as a member of Gen Z! Watch out world, Gen Z is taking over!!

Episode 6
Are you a student learning virtually this semester? How has the pandemic affected your academic experience? What have you discovered about yourself and your community during this time?
Students all over the country have entered college during one of the most challenging years of the decade. In this episode, Deborah takes the time to talk about her college experience thus far. She describes her relationship with the University of Pennsylvania as one of "love and hate" as she continues to see the effects of "Penntrification" and the lack of action towards the problems her university is creating in the city of Philadelphia. She also talks about how these issues have multiple layers to them and that solving them takes time. Deborah answers the question that she's been getting all semester long as a student in the city, "how's Penn?" and offers a candid glimpse of what her first semester has taught her. Along with a brief recap of how she chose Penn and what led her to her current major, Deborah goes all in with what's been happening in her new community.
If you have also been dealing with constant change, and are looking for an unfiltered reflection on attending college in a pandemic to guide you in the creation of your own, then this is the episode for you! Keep an eye out on Part 2 where Deborah dives into the "social scene," making friends virtually, and learning the true meaning of self-friendship.
