Anxiety. Not only do we all deal with it, but it can take on many different forms. For example there's the new anxiety that comes from the Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO). The term refers to the sometimes energizing, sometimes terrifying anxiety that you are missing out on something absolutely amazing. It could be a party, a new movie, a special relationship, or a delicious romantic dinner; something awesome is happening and you are not a part of it. FOMO is an age-old problem that has exploded culturally thanks to real-time updates on social media. In the New York Times, Jenna Wortham wrote about a friend who works in advertising who told her that she was feeling fine about her life--until she opened her social media account. The friend said, "Then I'm thinking, I am 28, with three roommates, and oh, it looks like they have a precious baby and a mortgage. And then I wanted to die." Wortham claims that social media updates can make our simple everyday pleasures pale in comparison with the fun things we could or should be doing. Anxiety can pop up in the strangest of ways! Another area where anxiety is increasing rapidly is with Generation Z (people born since the late 1990's). Researcher Joseph E. Davis claims that we can trace some of the anxiety to what he calls "absurdly ambitious" goals for academics, sports, or their future career. Davis points to a 2019 survey that asked 3,000 American adolescents, most age 14-17, about their aspirations for adulthood. How important, for instance, was it to them to become, "powerful and influential" as an adult? 21% indicated "absolutely essential," and another 27% as "very important." (Source: Joseph E. Davis, "The Deeper Roots of Youth Anxiety" Institute for Family Studies) What these current examples of anxiety reveal is that much of our anxiety isn't from outside sources, it's literally self perceived or self generated. We don't think we measure up to the identity we've created for ourselves, and most importantly, we are aware of the flaws or brokenness we struggle with everyday. No one knows our flaws more then we do, we literally see them everyday in the mirror. Sometimes we literally hate ourselves because of all our perceived or real shortcomings. This kind of anxiety is very real, at it happens even to Christians. So what are we to do when this happens in our lives? One word: Remember. Remember what God says about you. Remember where your identity comes from. Most importantly, remember where your strength comes from. Here is how the apostle Paul states it: "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." ~2 Corinthians 12:9-10 To learn more about how God provides us with the resources to deal with our anxiety make sure and to part two of Anxious for Nothing.
On this episode I'm joined by Kimberly Drew. Kimberly Drew is a curator, critic & author of two books, This Is What I Know About Art and the anthology Black Futures with Jenna Wortham, both released in 2020. Drew received her B.A. from Smith College in Art History and African-American Studies.The last time I caught up with Kimberly we were both in Ghana experiencing all the country has to offer spending time in the capital city of Accra, while also visiting important spots in Kumasi and Tamale. Drew and I witnessed the launch of Amoako Boafo's artist residency and foundation, partied at some of Accra's hottest spots and spent time with local artists in the capital city. Listen in as we reflect on this wildly rich experience.
Devin N. Morris is a Baltimore born, Brooklyn based artist who is interested in abstracting American life and subverting traditional value systems through the exploration of racial and sexual identity in mixed media paintings, photographs, writings and video. His works prioritize displays of personal innocence and acts of kindness within surreal landscapes and elaborate draped environments that reimagine the social boundaries imposed on male interactions, platonic and otherwise. The use of gestural kindnesses between real and imagined characters are inspired by his various experiences growing as a black boy in Baltimore, MD and his later experiences navigating the world as a black queer man. Memory subconsciously roots itself in the use of familiar household materials & fabrics, while symbolically he arranges it. Looking to buoy his new realities in a permanent real space, Morris posits his reimagined societies as a prehistory to futures that are impossible to imagine. Jenna Wortham is an award-winning journalist for the New York Times and host of the culture podcast "Still Processing." A graduate of the University of Virginia, she worked at Wired before joining the Times in 2008 and more recently, the New York Times Magazine. Wortham is an important voice on digital culture and new technologies, and is a co-author of “Black Futures” with Kimberly Drew, coming out via One World 2020.
A powerful, poetic memoir about what it means to exist as an indigenous woman in America, told in snapshots of the author's encounters with gun violence. Toni Jensen is a Metis woman born and raised in rural Iowa. Looking for another collection of life stories check out Black Futures - a multimedia anthology of what it means to be black in America. Edited by Kimberly Drew and Jenna Wortham.
We're back with a new season on April 14! Jenna Wortham is on book leave, so Wesley Morris will be taking on solo hosting duties for much of this spring. He will be joined by a stellar cast of guests, including Daphne Brooks to talk pop culture hierarchies, Hanif Abdurraqib to examine television theme songs (and that polarizing “skip intro” button) and Bill Simmons on what happens when athletes try to act. We can't kick off this season, however, without first hearing about what Jenna has been up to. Spoiler alert: black holes.Tune in Thursdays for new episodes.

Show Notes. Today's episode Dario sits with art curator, writer, and social activist Kimberly Drew. Hailing from Orange, New Jersey, Drew was taught by her parents to trust her own voice at an early age. In a family full of creatives, this lesson was fortuitous of Kimberly's career in the arts. Her words and voice have served to shape a new canon of Black contemporary art and question who and what are worthy of being valued in our nation's most lauded museums and cultural backdrops. In today's conversation, Kimberly shares how she cultivates community through art, what she's learning about the vulnerability of rage, and why she's able to speak her truth with such determined power. It's a conversation where Kimberly gives Dario permission to be messy with his own process.

Jenna Wortham is a writer at New York Time Magazine, co-author alongside Kimberly Drew of the anthology Black Futures, co-host of the NYT award-winning podcast Still Processing, where her and her best friend and the Times’ critic at large Wesley Morris make listeners feel like they are eavesdropping on two best friends talking about exactly what we need to be discussing in culture. One of my favorite things about Jenna is their healing spirit. They are a sound healer, reiki practitioner, herbalist and community care worker oriented toward healing justice and liberation. Jenna is from the DMV, for those of you who don’t know, the DC/MD/VA area so that might be why I have even more love for them. In this episode, we are talking about our own biases we carry, the state of journalism, being told you are a “diversity hire”, healing, how she made her way up in the New York Times, and the process of building the anthology Black Futures.

So they’re grappling with their complicated feelings about this word. Find more episodes of “Still Processing” here: nytimes.com/stillprocessing

Wesley Morris wrote about growing a quarantine mustache in The New York Times Magazine this fall. His personal essay explored how his facial hair experiment led to a deep consideration of his own Blackness.

Morris joined the Times in 2015 and writes for both the newspaper and the magazine. He and Times colleague Jenna Wortham also host a podcast called Still Processing. Before joining the Times, Morris was a film critic at The Boston Globe where he won a Pulitzer Prize for criticism.
