In this powerful episode of Human Design Playtime, Janet and Tammy explore the Human Design charts of trailblazers who’ve shaped history—starting with the wise and wondrous Dr. Maya Angelou. Through the lens of Human Design, they unpack Maya’s 6/2 Initiator profile, her tribal leadership strength (hello, 21-45 channel!), and her deep need for solitude to refine and share her poetic genius.

The conversation weaves in insights about Dave Chappelle, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X—three vastly different designs with one shared trait: world-shaking impact. You’ll hear how Dave’s wide split design craves connection, MLK’s unconscious charisma turned him into a natural speaker, and Malcolm X’s triple-split advisor chart gave him the power to synthesize and strategize systemic change.

Along the way, Janet and Tammy drop gold nuggets on emotional waves, leadership archetypes, defined vs. open centers, and how each of these icons taught us not just what to say, but when and why. Oh—and a bonus cough drop moment adds some much-needed comic relief.

If you’re wondering how to use your design to create change—or just want to hear two Human Design nerds celebrate some of the most influential energies in history—this episode is for you.
