ITCE™ / ON THE GROUND. GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA.
THE QUESTIONS AREN’T GOING AWAY.

On October 15, 2026, students at North Carolina A&T State University took to the streets of Greensboro, calling for answers surrounding the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells.

But beyond the signs and the demonstration were the people who showed up and the experiences they carried with them.
For one student from Ferguson, Missouri, the march brought back memories of the killing of Michael Brown. For a longtime university employee, it represented a new generation finding its voice on historically significant ground. Others described the importance of simply being present to witness the moment.

We gathered four perspectives from those who witnessed the demonstration, allowing their words to speak for themselves.

Their reflections offer a reminder that public demonstrations are not only about the questions being asked, but also about the people who feel compelled to ask them.

Four voices. One city. A moment worth documenting.

PEOPLE ARE TALKING.
WHAT KEEPS US COMING BACK?

The memories. The people. The feeling of belonging.
ITCE™ went on the ground at North Carolina Central University’s Homecoming to hear from the people who make the experience what it is.
Across generations, one thing remains: homecoming is about more than returning. It’s about community, connection, and giving back.

But the conversation doesn’t end here.

Some men know how to be wanted before they know how to be known.

Anthony had just come out of a four-year relationship.
Malcolm looked like the kind of man worth getting to know.

The connection was real.
So was the distance.

What happens when one person is ready to build,
and the other is still deciding how much of himself he is willing to reveal?

A new Tuesday Observation.

SOME MEN KNOW HOW TO BE WANTED BEFORE THEY KNOW HOW TO BE KNOWN.

“It’s not one size fits all. … We look at you as the individual.” — Kathie-Ann Joseph, MD, MPH, FSSO, FACS

Breast cancer does not have one face, one body, one treatment plan or one story.
This October, ITCE™ is making room for the people inside the awareness: women in treatment, survivors learning their bodies again, families moving through the uncertainty with them — and men, whose experiences with breast cancer are too often left outside of the conversation.
Different people. Different diagnoses. Different journeys.
What remains the same is the importance of paying attention, asking questions, knowing your body and giving yourself permission to seek care when something changes.

Check in on yourself. And check in on the people you love.
For those in treatment. For those in remission. For those still waiting on answers. For those who carry the experience long after the appointments end.

We see you.
ITCE™ HEALTH / PEOPLE / THE CITY.

IN CONVERSATION.
REAL MEN TEACH. BUT WHO TELLS THEM TO STAY?

For the ITCE™ Education Desk, Owen Elsasser returns to a question that followed him long before he had the language to call it a shortage: Where were the men?
What began as a personal observation became part of Owen’s own path into education — and eventually led him to Curtis Valentine, Real Men Teach, and a larger conversation about representation, community, and what it takes not only to bring men into the classroom, but to help them remain there.
This is a story about more than visibility. It is about belonging. Mentorship. The messages young men receive about who is supposed to teach. And the communities that can make choosing education feel less like an exception and more like a possibility.

ITCE CHECK-IN. Stillness can be beautiful. It can also be revealing.
What has slowing down forced you to acknowledge?

At some point, “Does he love me?” stops being the question.

The question becomes:
What am I still doing here?

Sometimes it is not one betrayal.
Not one argument.
Not one moment.

Sometimes it is a hundred small things.

A boundary tested again.
A promise you have already heard.
A need you keep explaining.
A version of the future that always seems one more conversation away.

Disappointment can change the way a woman moves through love.

Not colder.
More aware.
More selective.
More willing to trust what she sees.

SHE LEARNED THE GAME. THEN SHE CHANGED THE TERMS.
