I met Foster for coffee and a podcast conversation. This episode was recorded at The Last Mile Café, which is a black & female owned, b-corp certified business, and they have the best “miel” of all time. (Try “the last miel.”)
Foster is officially listed as the “Vibe Manager” of The Diatribe. He’s a poet, father, and a voice for his community. We met up specifically to discuss The Emory, but here’s a full breakdown of what we talked about:
00:00 – Cold Open
01:06 – Show Intro
03:28 – The Emory
20:04 – Upcoming Diatribe Events
22:13 – How to Get the Word Out
27:24 – Family Medical Emergencies
31:59 – Problems Facing GR
34:09 – Foster’s Origin Story
1:03:47 – Foster Reads His Poetry
1:23:47 – In Closing
(The original conversation was almost two hours and has been edited for time and clarity.)
Find Foster on Instagram and Facebook.
