Episode 31: "Untitled" with Ari Theresa, Esq.

We chopped it up with community activist, attorney, and owner of Stoop Law Firm Ari Theresa for this week's episode. This one goes untitled because we thought it would be unfair attempting to condense the invaluable work Ari does everyday. Oftentimes, the most influential among us aren't poppin' on the 'gram. We covered everything from being a fourth generation Washingtonian, why he started Stoop Law in DC's Historic Anacostia neighborhood, representing the Barry Farm Tenants and Allies Association (BFTAA), black capitalists and exploitation, and why the media exploits Southeast DC as the epicenter for all struggle in the Nation's Capital.

Episode 30: "4:44 on a Sleepless Morning" with Marcus K. Dowling

Late but still great. No BBQ invite? Our favorite cultural agitator and friend of the show, Marcus K. Dowling joins us for an impromptu discussion on Jay Z's latest release. With critics and fans alike calling this his best work, it's also his most polarizing. Social media has been abuzz (read: a mess) since Friday. We break down the most discussed opinions on the album - #MenAreTrash, what Black Empowerment means to black nationalists & black socialists (and everyone in between), Apathy leading to Catharsis leading to Vulnerability, and the metaphorical death of Jay Z. You'll also hear a woman's point-of-view from one of our studio visitors (Peace to Arielle). Let us know what you think in the comments or on social media. Spread the word and follow us.

Episode 27: “Smarten Up, Open the Market Up” with Paris Cole

Some of the most successful businesspeople don't wear "business attire" and are still greatly respected by businesspeople who do. Paris Cole is well on her way to being one of these same successful businesspeople who ditched the suit for a more expressive dress code. The DC area native wears many hats (no pun intended, or maybe it was), as you'll hear on this episode as we discuss her sneaking into gogo shows as a teen, how working the doors at nightclubs and managing DJ Alizay opened doors to the entertainment industry and commercial DC real estate, building a career as an A&R, helping launch creative agencies in DC, dabbling in the fashion world, the importance of nurturing and maintaining relationships, dating in the social media age, walking the social line in DC, and her soon-to-launch website, Paris Cole.

We talk to Reek about a summer job he and Geronimo had transporting rental cars throughout the DC/Baltimore region, working for independent retailers in the DC area like The H.O.B.O. (Helping Our Brothers Out) Shop, the influence early DC streetwear brands had on fashion, his start as an A&R rep working with Osinachi and Wale, being an instrumental partner with the Board of Administration, Anatomy Projects/Still Learning, and Made In The DMV, the who's who of young music talent in the DC area, and what would happen if everyone wasn't in their feelings.

Episode 17: "Culinary Chemist" with Smithsonian Chefs Jerome Grant & Stephen Kerschner

If you live in any major city, food and dining have become top interests held by urban dwellers within recent years. If you've been to DC within the past six months, you've probably visited one of the Smithsonian museums but may not have eaten at any of the restaurants. Well you missed out, but all isn't lost. We talked with two of the cultural institution's top chefs about their years prior to working at Smithsonian cafes, revamping the menus at Mitsitam Cafe (National Museum of the American Indian) and Atrium Cafe (National Museum of Natural History, opening Sweet Home Cafe (National Museum of African American History & Culture), sneakers & whiskey, and DC's culinary scene.

Episode 14: "How Much a Dollar Cost?" with Cee Smith Media Group

The worlds of venture capitalism and angel investing have been exclusive clubs to many who aren't white men. However, there have been strong efforts by many people of color and women of all races to make these clubs more inclusive and be more visible in them. This week's episode we talk with Cee Smith and Yaani Supreme of Cee Smith Media Group. Their mission: to be "a creative investment firm that prioritizes LGBT entrepreneurs; we invest in queer-led creative projects, start-ups, film and you." We talk being a minority in the startup investment world, how these two women met having taken two different career paths, the cannabis industry, black gay pride festivals needing to be more than parties, and more.

Episode 12: "Politics As Usual" with Michelle Busch

If you ever meet Michelle Busch, keep two things in mind: she doesn't bite her tongue and don't speak ill of DC in her presence without a strong argument. We talk about "The [Gentrification] Plan", holding residents and the local government accountable in amid rapid development, the possibility of more black people returning to the city, and DC Statehood. You'll also catch a few mentions of current and former DC landmarks that greatly impacted local culture. This is our most DC episode yet and a great listen for anyone considering a move to the city or just wanting to know what DC is like from a longtime resident's perspective.

Episode 11: "The Artistic Game" with Muhammad Hill

It takes a strong individual to be an entrepreneur. It takes a creative individual to be an influential one. This was the overall theme of the conversation we had with Muhammad Hill - co-owner of the DC-based creative space, The Museum. On this episode, we discuss Muhammad's early days of being a style trendsetter in DC, his time in the music industry as co-founder of The Board of Administration, when he knew he held influence, street fashion's influence, and more.

Episode 10: "Paradise Lost" with Chioma Iwuoha

"Community Service" is a topic often discussed this time of year - from the holiday season through Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. However, there are few who rise to the occasion throughout the entire year. Chioma Iwuoha, or "ChiChi" as she's known by friends and family, is one of those people. A native of the Shaw neighborhood in Northwest DC and currently residing in Northeast DC, ChiChi is currently one of the adult mentors partnered with Melanin Uprising - a youth-led collective on a mission to create a safe, positive healing space for Black youth. In this episode we talk her early years of activism, fundraising in private education, why DC youth are missing out the wonderful sounds of Go-Go music, and how black and brown residents of DC can hold the city's local politicians and leaders accountable. We were also joined by another guest, a fly kid named Ngozi (ChiChi's daughter) who gave her two cents as she saw fit. Gotta love the kids!

Episode 9: "Stop, Look, Listen" with The Hippie Junkie

Happy New Year! We ended 2016 with a creative outlook from a tenured creative professional. Because it's important to maintain balance, we talked with Glo and Trilla of The Hippie Junkie - two creatives who are still early in their careers but already making an impact - for their thoughts on DC's creative scene in 2017. These two women may very well be contenders for a future 30 under 30 list, having started a creative agency in their early 20s, with a focus on cultivating much of the region's arts & entertainment talent and building a notable resume which includes blogging, being DTLR Radio hosts, and event production. In this episode you'll also hear us talk about their Trap Mom Commandments, applying the teachings of DJ Khaled every day, a Beyoncé & Quavo collab, attending New York Men's Fashion Week, and starting a DMV record pool.

Episode 8: "Creative Control" with Victor Nguyen-Long

Episode 8: "Creative Control" with Victor Nguyen-Long

Creatives have always worked behind the scenes of the world's most well-known brands. However, we're now seeing more of these minds stepping away from cubicles, co-working spaces, and corner offices - pairing progressive, innovative ideas with corporate experiences and starting their own ventures to have greater control of their creative voices. Victor Nguyen-Long is one of those same individuals. The Arlington, Virginia native has worked at Red Bull, Nike, and Audi - to name a few - but has recently taken his talents to the streets, currently freelancing as a marketing strategist and planning to soon launch an artist incubator in Washington, DC. In this episode, we talk about going to Georgia Tech as an engineering major during the Freaknik era, when he knew marketing was the better career choice, influencer marketing in the digital age, currency in DC's creative economy, and his 2017 creative outlook for DC.

Episode 4: "The Show Must Go On" with Hakim Hughley

People who make their money off the land always have to be ready for changes in the climate. Hakim Hughley is someone who luckily has had the foresight to stay ready for said changes in his years long entertainment career. The burgeoning creative director, and now retired party promoter, started where many who later end up working in the music industry did - in nightlife. Having since moved on from promoting some of DC's most popular nightclub events and gogos (the music, not the strip clubs) for the 25 and under demographic, Hakim is now co-manager for Motown Records artist Chaz French and produces more lifestyle-centered events in DC. We discuss all of this, along with what to consider when starting an entertainment career and how to sustain one in the New New DC.

Episode 3: "Git Up, Git Out, and Git Somethin'" with Byrd

Performing artists need a few elements to be noticed in the music industry and by listeners of today. One of those elements is great marketing. This is where creative people like Byrd come in. One of DC's most known unknown creative consultants, Byrd has been connecting the dots for DMV artists and the music industry for almost ten years. Her passion for music, lifestyle brands, and the "DC Ereah" are what drive her to continue her mission to help increase the DMV's prominence. In this episode, we talk past and present roles, being a creative consultant to the streets, fighting for what's right in a snake pit, and DMV rap under the reign of The Orange One. More necessary listening for the masses.

When thinking about what's poppin' in DC, Lil SoSo Productions is often one crew that comes to mind. Risikat Okedeyi is the company's lead cultural architect and is responsible for many of the city's coolest, most soul-driven events for over a decade. If you've ever been to the rooftop lounge at Restaurant Marvin on a Monday night, you're already familiar with a Lil SoSo Production. We talk her early years, being an educator while producing events, executing a compelling event, the state of DC nightlife, and the social climate amidst a Trump presidency.
