In this episode of IN THE KNOW with Tony Reeves, Tony reflects on what it truly means to be “the first” — not as a slogan, but as a lived experience.

When Tony left Pine Bluff, Arkansas, to attend the University of Tampa, he entered a world no one in his immediate circle had experienced. There was no social media, no campus visit, no one close by who could explain the culture, the distance, or the emotional weight of being 900 miles from home at a predominantly white private institution.

This conversation explores the difference between going somewhere new and going somewhere new without a roadmap. Tony breaks down the uncertainty, isolation, adjustment, and growth that come with being the first person in your circle to step into unfamiliar territory — and why every success and mistake feels different when you are learning in real time.

This is a reflection for anyone who has ever had to figure it out alone, build their own reference points, and survive spaces they were never fully prepared to enter.

Have you ever been the first in your family, your circle, or your community to step into a space nobody could prepare you for? Share your story in the comments. Your experience may be the roadmap someone else needs.
