Season 10 of LITE It Up Podcast launches with one of the most personal conversations yet. Host Dr. Aginah Muhammad sits down with her three children — twins Aliyah and Kamaal, both seniors at North Carolina A&T State University, and her youngest daughter Khalis, a freshman just starting her Aggie journey.

Recorded on August 1, 2025 and released on September 16, 2025, this 54-minute episode explores what it’s like to navigate a year of transition: the twins preparing for graduation and life after college, Khalis adjusting to the leap from high school to higher education, and their mom learning to embrace life as an empty nester.

The Muhammad children also share what it was like growing up with a mom who’s an educator with high expectations, how that shaped their approach to academics and life, and what lessons they’ve learned about managing expectations vs. reality. Along the way, they offer candid advice to high school students preparing for college and to current students figuring out their path.

With laughter, honesty, and love, this episode gives listeners an intimate glimpse into the Muhammad family’s story — one rooted in resilience, legacy, and growth.
