  Speaker 1: had a background at writing for bigger publications, but they
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: don't give a voice to you know, the up and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: coming talent at the time of that needs to be seen.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to create a platform to where I

  Speaker 1: can showcase those exact talents and bring them to a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: bigger platform now and showcasing them. How do they reach
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you or do you just go around different clubs. You
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: see talent and say, hey, this is who I am.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Allow me to publish, publish a story on you or
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: post something. How does that work? Well? At first when
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I first came out, of course, I did a lot
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of reaching out because you know, I have to you
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: have to do the groundwork there. You don't know your name,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: your name and trust you now currently now they're emailing
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: out the woodworks there you go. And so when they
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: email you, what are their expectations? Uh? So you're the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: media prints and you're sreading like you bringing exposure right
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to for new talent. And I think I wrote it
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: down and said fashion, music, politics, athletics. You could be
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a disc jock of paint or disc jockey, which is
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: radio or music and in the club painters, poets, you
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: name it. You're there to expose those lanes. Uh could
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: could a comedian following that, could an actor all in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a lane as well. Control again because there's an artist
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of what they do. So it definitely can fall a
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: lout on the website. Now with that being said, what
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: is the day in the life of the media prints?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: You know, because the media happens in twenty four hours
• 4:13

• 4:51
  Speaker 1: last week and right now we're getting a big love
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: from Australia. So that's one of the highest countries right now.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: They get on the website a lot. Now do you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: travel Langston? I do. We just got back to not
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: too long ago. We were just in l A for
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the BT weekend crying the BT Awards. That gets you
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of traffic. Yes, Now we're on the red
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: carpet down there or were you just go to the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: red carpet? Um I did the fan fast and so
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: many stars were having different events, so I covered like
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: UM shop openings, listening parties, album parties, so we were everywhere.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: When I say I didn't get any sleep in l A,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I had absolutely no sleep. So that's the goal though, right,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you know, no sleep. Now you know you come back
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: where arrested, and that was just a vacation. You can't
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: go to the BT Awards and come back where arrested.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I slept long hours. Man, I go to any party,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So what what what stood out for you the most
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: when you cover an event like that? Because you're the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you own the red carpet, and you got all these
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: parties and now you know from experience, I know exactly
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: what you're talking about. They can, they can. They can
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: go on long forever. You know, you could be standing
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in the party and right next to you it just
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: alble could walk up to you and just be standing
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: right next to you. That's how those parties. I'm just
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: letting you know. They're that they're that casual. But also
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: there they don't but because the music is so loud,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you really can't do anything with them. You know, you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: just what's up interest and just you can't stick a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: microphone in their face because the fact that you can
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: probably get a selfie out of them, you know, may
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: be the most. So when you're in these environments, you
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: run it and you run into talent. How do you
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: handle those and how do you establish the relationships? Well,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be quite honest, that's where I have my
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: my publicist. She's a bulldog. She's always ready. That's the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: young lady you met. Indeed, she is a bulldog. No
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: matter what what event we go into, were coming with
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a game plan. We know who the key players are,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: what this event is about, and who we need to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: talk to. So when we go and she'll say do
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you need a picture or you need an interview, I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: just say either or And before the events of I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: have either a picture or interview. Now I'm gonna just
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: tell you something. You know, we say bulldog. That's a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: very complimentary turn because she because that's how I met him. Okay,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I was there. I had Tracy, she's one of my
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: one of my creative producers. She said, Rashaan, this young
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: lady wants to talk to you. And I looked over there,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I go I didn't know who she was, but she
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: came over, had a very polite effective speech. This is
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: important to everybody here. How you create relationships. You know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I'm a stranger to her and she's a stranger to me,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: but she was able to network immediately. And that's why
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: we're communicating to day and that's how we're expanding your
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: brand and your popularity. Because that's all his interviews about
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to let people know about the media prints. Correct, correct, correct, Now,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: let's let's get into the little details about what exactly
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: you do because you have a blog, correct side, What
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: exactly is a blog? Well, a blog is a platform
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: where you're free to just write however you feel. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of course they have all types of blogs, their food blogs,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: lifestyle blogs, flash fashion blogs. Um. But my blog um
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: kind of is a fine line between actual blog site
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and a website website. So of course I have I
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: can write whatever I wants on there, but it's also
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in website for entertainment website format, so it kind of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: varies between those two forms, and I'm just free to write. Um.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It's allowed me to do things like reviews, which is
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: something new now. People invited me to all their events
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and stuff like do a review on it. I know
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it's important to have the right blogger, especially with certain
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: eventus you're trying to get out and then reach a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: certain artist. What do you what do you feel, who
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: do you feel is your you're communicated with bel female wise,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: percentage wise and age group. Okay, well you're gonna have
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to make Niki on my anethletics hunt. Absolutely. Hey man,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you're calling money made conversations now you even like that?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I hope you weren't sitting over that. Man. I think
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be a casual interview because I need to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: know because of the fact that you know so many people,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: so many people are trying to evolve into these lanes.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Because it's like, because you, it's the question I want
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to ask you. It's like, what is the perfect blog
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to showcase your talent? You know, because you know, you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: just can't just jump on any blog and just start
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: start start or trying to tag it or trying to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: create a relationship. So it has to be a blog
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that you mentioned earlier, food blogs, their fashion blogs, your
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: entertainment blog out there. So so that means that you
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: have to know where you're going with your brand. And
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: so that's why I just get a little bit more
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: in detail because I do want to know the dudes
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and don't of this whole world that you're in because
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you are a media guy. So when it comes to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: social media posting, just give us a little nutshell about
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: what do you do when you're trying to give people
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: advice in this whole world of promotion? All brand it well? First,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I say what's your niche? Find out what you want
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to write about, because when it's all said and done,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it should be something that enterests you first, because if
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: don't find interest in it, then you're just basically hopping
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: on the bandwagon with my blog. Of course, when you
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: think of a bloggers, you think of ras hill chen
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: tms either real gossipy blogs. When I created my blog,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I created with the attempt of my blog can get
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to Beyonce interview that other blogs cannot. So I tell people,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: find your niche rightful who you want to write for,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and be patient. Everything doesn't come overnight, but just keep writing.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: If it's something you love, go from there. That's those
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: are the dudes. The don'ts are just trying to copy
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: someone else's start trying to write with somebody else's writing about.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: It has to be organic or because if it's not organic.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: The audience is definitely definitely going to tell which is
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: really important for you to say that publicly. Now some
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of the interviews that you go out there and do
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that you do is there is a certain expectation um
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: from your audience for a certain type of interview that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you're able to capture because that's how you grow when
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I always tell people, you know, what is your voice? Who?
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: That's why I was asking who you're who you're talking to?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Collect you're using b T. You know you wouldn't at
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the at the Stellar Awards. That's what those are two
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: different audiences. Okay. The key to it too now that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: people will brings people so much attraction to the interviews
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: is I make the interview about the artists at all times.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You don't care about your personal life. I don't care
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: about you know what you're going through. I want to
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: know about your craft and I want the artists or
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: whoever interviewing. I want the viewers to walk away if
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: they didn't know them, like Dane, that's a dope person.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I need to know who they are. I want that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that part of YO to showcase in the interviews. So
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I try to get those dynamics I'm on the phone
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: talking to the international He's he's an international journalist and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: media specialist. His blog is dedicated promoting the arts and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: shredding shedding light on the amazing talents this world has
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to offer with uh, with talent in the world of fashion,
• 11:56

• 11:59
  Speaker 1: did you come up with that? Angle? That vision? You
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: know you're sitting around trying to find your lane. How
