ABOUT


Jay’s Conversations is a fun, thought-provoking podcast that explores the intersection of community, culture, and intellectual thought.
Each week we’ll invite listeners to reflect on what it means to belong to a community, how we share & understand ideas, and how our experiences both, past and present, inform the way we live and interact with the world. So, tune in every Wednesday with Jalen Layfield, an aspiring anthropologist, and together we’ll engage with scholars, artists, and everyday people to bridge the gap between scholarship and real-world experiences.
It’s not just a podcast, it’s your way to join in on the conversation.

ABOUT
Jalen Layfield

Hi, I’m Jalen!!
Since you listen to me yap on end, I feel it's only
right to share a little about myself, so here goes!
I’ve always been pretty curious about the world around me –
about how culture shapes who we are, how community ties us
together, and how intellectual thought sparks great
conversations & meaningful change.
This was inspired by my life growing up. I was lucky to be surrounded by
a mix of diverse perspectives, whether it was friends/family members,
teachers, television shows, books, or places I traveled. These combined experiences
taught me that the best conversations often happen when we share our stories and ideas with one another with the intention to learn and connect. This led me to creating Jay’s Conversations.
Each episode is a blend of my passion for these topics, commitment to exploring new perspectives and creating opportunities for others to share their brilliant minds & work. So, if you also find yourself curious about the world and seeking new avenues to explore what it has to offer, I welcome you to join our community!
Would you or someone you know be an interesting guest on ?
