Failing Forward

Donerik Black’s journey with organ donation started around 2004. His dad needed a kidney, and two years later, Donerik would give him one. Years later, Donerik became a recipient himself. On episode 110, Donerik tells us about receiving the best gift he could have asked for—a heart—the day before his 45th birthday. In the face of life-altering changes, Donerik has hardly skipped a beat, measuring success by the impact he’s made, what’s he’s learned and what’s he taught someone else. The publisher of The Dayton Weekly News also tells us about his dad’s vision to create a news outlet for Dayton, Ohio’s African-American community, which Donerik is still running today.
