Leaving My Hometown: Why I Chose to Stay in Florida After College

You can love where you come from and still want to discover who you might become somewhere else. When I left Pine Bluff, Arkansas, for the University of Tampa, I wanted to see more of the world.

In this episode of IN THE KNOW with Tony Reeves, I reflect on the experiences that expanded my outlook, my mother’s hope that I would return home, and why staying felt like the right choice for me. Have you ever felt torn between returning home and building a life somewhere new? This conversation is for you.Explore my books and more at https://linktr.ee/mynameisreeves .
