Sarah Callazzo: How did an eating disorder become the biggest part of you? Featured
Our next guest is Sarah Callazzo. She used to wear smaller jeans and fake a smile. She liked having as many friends as possible. She would never consider herself a leader. Her camera roll was filled with ‘progress pictures’ of her body. She was fighting a losing battle with herself. She was in denial and was exhausted – but she would’ve never admitted it. Around 2 years ago, Sarah decided she didn’t want to be that girl anymore. She was exhausted from trying to be the girl that ‘does it all.’ Rather than trying to be a superwoman for everyone else, she wanted to be her own hero. She has been actively working on her own recovery while encouraging others to do the same. In episode 224 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Sarah chose the University of Rhode Island, what was special about ZTA at URI, what her biggest challenge was as chapter president, where her body image issues started, how an eating disorder became the biggest part of her, what Sarah does when she struggles today, how we can avoid missing 95% of your life to weigh 5% less and get that message out to....

Alonzo Cee: How do we develop college students while balancing racial injustice, COVID-19 & more? Featured
Our next guest is Alonzo Cee, a higher education professional from Harlem, NY. He’s a two-time graduate of Elon University in North Carolina – First getting his Bachelor’s of Science in Statistics in 2018 and then getting his Master’s of Arts in Higher Education in 2020. Alonzo believes this: that we have a deep and profound impact on each and every person that lives on this earth. Regardless of intention. Regardless of whether we know them or not. Our capacity to impact others transcends past our physical selves and our direct proximity to other people. It is this interdependence that shapes the way he sees leadership. Leadership is not about power over others, and it is not about management. It is about our impact and our ability to influence. This gives everyone the ability to lead. Because we all have impact. In episode number 223 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out how his childhood of growing up in a biracial family impacts his life today, how his dreams of becoming a professional baseball player ended, why Elon University was the right place for him, what made Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. the right brotherhood, the value of the....
