In this special MLK Day episode of My Legacy podcast, Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger reflect on Dr. King’s enduring legacy. 

With reflections from John Legend, Laura Coates, Jemele Hill, Dr. Vivek Murthy, Simon Sinek, Martin Sheen, and more, this tribute weaves together powerful stories from those who knew him best—and those who carry his mission forward. 

Together they reflect on: 
Why nonviolence is still a radical strategy 
The real work of loving people you don’t agree with 
How we each have a role in building — or breaking —the Beloved Community 
Why the Dream demands action – and honesty.

Zarna Garg is one of the fastest-rising comedians in America. A sold-out touring headliner, streaming special comedy star, and breakout voice redefining what midlife success looks like, Zarna didn’t step onto a stand-up stage until she was 44. 

In this electric and deeply personal episode of My Legacy, Zarna joins hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger to talk about losing her mother at 14, leaving home, immigrating to the U.S., and reinventing herself more than once. By her side is her plus one — her daughter Zoya — the person who dared her to try stand-up and helped turn her jokes into a viral, sold-out comedy career. 

Together, they share how: 
It’s never too late to reinvent yourself 
The life experience you think disqualifies you may be your greatest advantage 
Betting on yourself can change your family’s future 
Reinvention requires courage — not permission 
Your voice gets stronger with age

Zarna Garg Plus One: Reinvention has No Age Limit 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/55c887cf-7f05-4edc-b66f-b40101391b9b/transcript

Jurnee Smollett – Emmy-nominated actress known for Lovecraft Country, Friday Night Lights, The Great Debaters, and Apple TV+’s Smoke – has spent her life in front of the camera. But long before the accolades, she was a young girl raised in a home where art, activism, and self-reliance were daily lessons. 

In this deeply personal conversation, Jurnee sits down with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger to reflect on the moments that nearly pulled her away from acting – and the calling that brought her back. Joined by her plus one, sister Jazz Smollett, she opens up about growing up in a house of creators, refusing roles that didn’t reflect her standards, navigating insecurity, and redefining strength after motherhood. 

Together, they share how: 
Failure can redirect you toward your true calling 
Refusing to conform can protect your purpose 
Strength is about discipline and willpower—not appearance 
Motherhood expands who you are—it doesn’t diminish you 
Art can heal both the artist and the audience

Jurnee Smollett Plus One: Raised to Create, Refusing to Settle

Originally aired December 16, 2025 

As the world comes together to celebrate the Olympic Games, we’re re-airing this powerful conversation to honor Brittney Griner’s legacy as a three-time Olympic gold medalist and the deeper meaning of resilience, courage, and representation on the global stage.  

Three-time Olympic gold medalist and WNBA champion, Brittney Griner joins My Legacy podcast for her first full-length interview alongside her wife, attorney and activist Cherelle Griner. 

In this deeply personal episode, they sit down with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger to share what it really took to survive nearly 300 days of wrongful detainment in Russia – and the love, strategy, and community that brought Brittney home. 

Together, they share how: 
You can’t play by the rules if the system is broken 
Advocacy means knowing when—and where—to be loud 
Grief doesn’t wait for the crisis to end 
Love means telling the truth, even when it hurts 
Legacy is built in small, pressure-filled choices
