Tegan's Talk Show with Tegan Mosugu

A Duke graduate and an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania, New York University, and Notre Dame, Dr. Tegan Mosugu brings serious intellectual range to this conversation. A global health practitioner, social impact professional, and media voice, he is not simply building a brand — he is building a body of work rooted in scholarship, strategy, and real-world change. Public bios describe him as a “pracademic,” someone working at the intersection of academic research and practical social impact, with expertise spanning global public health, organizational behavior, management, and public policy.

This is not just an interview. It is a sharp, searching conversation about identity, resilience, self-definition, and the refusal to disappear. David and Tegan get into the rise of Black gingers, reclaiming space, global citizenry, self-love, and what it means to live publicly without shrinking for anyone. The episode also reaches into Tegan’s media world, including stories connected to his talk-show work and broader presence in public conversation. Public materials for The Tegan Show frame his platform around interviews, social impact, and global perspective.

Tegan’s story carries real weight. He earned his bachelor’s degree in history from Duke at 19, later studied at Penn and NYU, and went on to complete advanced degrees in public and international affairs and health sciences. His public profiles also note work across global health, behavioral change, and social impact initiatives, giving this conversation both intellectual depth and lived credibility.

Tune in, share it, and tag someone who needs to hear a conversation about presence, power, and refusing erasure. Tegan does not merely inspire; he challenges people to think more honestly about who they are, how they move through the world, and what it means to take up space without apology.
