Rise & Love, Family: It is I, Xavier, but some of you may know me as "xInYaFaceDotCom". I am a Black Millennial Man, born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, with my roots now firmly planted in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. I am a husband, father, community member, and entrepreneur as well as an advocate, educator, and coach. All that said, I am still trying to get my 💩 together. I need to warm up my body for regular daily activities. Sometimes my wife and kids get on my first and last nerves. I am constantly balancing my fluctuating capacity to "people" with my deep yearning for community an...

New Equipment and Etcetera (Ep. 006) 20.10.2023 21:53

Feeling the creative juices flowing on a random Thursday night, I got my (new) equipment set up and hit record... On this episode: Let's hope I set this stuff up correctly (spoiler alert - I didn't); I got some upgraded recording equipment; Why was I at the store this time? New phone, Who dis?

Change Gonna Come (Ep. 005) 29.09.2023 11:20

The only constant in life is change, and I’ve been making some changes in my life recently. I won’t say that I have a new outlook on life, but I do have more clarity. In the last episode I talked about my struggle to “protect my peace” in relationships with people. Moving to a new location is something that is helping me to protect my peace as I’m getting acclimated to this new phase in my life.&n...

Vegan Gang or Don’t Bang (Ep. 004) 05.09.2023 12:50

Sorry for the delay in getting this episode out, family. I’ve been adjusting to some changes in my life (more about that on the next episode), so I definitely put this and other projects aside. But, I’M BACK BABY! It’s #VeganGangOrDontBang around here ya’ll! Lol, I’m just playing. On this episode of the podcast, I put folks on to a nearby donut shop with vegan options; I share about my path to bec...

Are Your Needs Being Met? (Ep. 003) 28.08.2023 10:17

I've been going through some ups and downs lately. I went from having one of the most amazing birthday celebrations ever to having some really serious interpersonal challenges. In the midst of those challenges, I've also been fortunate enough to have people in my corner giving me love and reminding me to love myself. In this episode I'm sharing some of my reflections, and what I'm working on in my...

We’re Failing the Youth (Ep. 002) 04.08.2023 6:20

Working in juvenile justice can be really challenging sometimes, and this is one of those times for me. I'm not trying to bring anyone down, but I do want to be authentic in expressing my emotions. If you don’t already have my social media locked in, do me a favor and prioritize: Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. The name is the same on all of them: @xinyafacedotcom. #RiseAndLove #TreSeis

X in Your Face (Ep. 001) 14.07.2023 17:10

I've gone back and forth about whether to do this particular project, because it is less specific and more fluid than the other projects I’m working on. My brother actually encouraged me to continue pursuing the idea, because to him my brand (xinyafacedotcom) is versatile enough to allow me to be successful in multiple avenues. So, I just want to dedicate this first episode to my brother, Darius....
