  Better Said Than Written

  Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Politics of Hunger

  Feb 20, 20269 minS0

  Rev. Jesse Jackson spent decades fighting for civil rights and economic justice. As a child watching him on television, I didn't understand policy. I understood his voice. After news of his death on February 17, 2026, I found myself revisiting what his work meant, not just the speeches or the presidential campaigns, but the deeper question at the center of it all: who gets access, who gets dignity, and who gets to eat. In this episode of Better Said Than Written, I reflect on the roots of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, the link between school lunch and economic justice, and what hunger...

  This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by wellness culture, conflicting health advice, or the constant pressure to optimize their body. Maybe you’ve tried the supplements. Maybe you’ve followed the trends. Maybe you’re doing everything “right” and still not feeling well.

  Desperation vs Inspiration

  Feb 3, 202610 minS0

  In this episode of Better Said Than Written, host Tamika Cody reflects on a single line that stopped her in her tracks: “There are two sources of goals: goals created out of inspiration and goals created out of desperation.” The quote comes from chapter nine of Don't Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen, a book that gained widespread attention in 2024. What begins as a quiet reflection turns personal. Tamika revisits a vulnerable journal entry she once shared publicly, recorded just weeks before losing her dream job. In hindsight, she recognizes how desperation shaped the goals she was holding onto and...

  Feb 2, 20269 minS0

  This episode is for anyone sitting in the middle of their journey, not at the beginning, not at the finish line, but somewhere in between. Maybe you’ve taken breaks you didn’t plan. Maybe your progress hasn’t looked linear. Maybe you’ve been carrying quiet doubt while still showing up when you can. In this episode of Better Said Than Written, I reflect on a Social Media Essay inspired by Doechii and written by Kasey Brown, a reminder that impact doesn’t always come from polished success, but from the courage to be seen while becoming. At the center of...
