    Episode 001: Starting Late, Looking Different: Success Has No Timeline

    Welcome to Knowledge Gumbo, where we mix timeless wisdom with thought-provoking stories from Black women authors and leaders. In our debut episode, host Alicia Thomas explores Misty Copeland's powerful quote: "Know that you can start late, look different, be uncertain, and still succeed."


    Episode Breakdown:

    [00:00] Welcome and Introduction

    [00:31] Exploring Misty Copeland's Quote

    [01:30] Understanding Relative Success

    Key Takeaways:

    • Starting "late" is relative - Misty Copeland began ballet at age 13 and became ABT's first African-American principal dancer
    • Success should be defined on your own terms, not by others' standards
    • Uncertainty can be a sign of awareness rather than weakness
    • Small, consistent steps build the foundation for significant achievement
