Ep 89 - Mark Clennon


Listen Later

In this episode, he shows us how a camera becomes more than gear. It’s protection. It’s prophecy. It’s a way to remember what the world works hard to forget and imagine what it’s never dared to dream.He breaks down why chasing purpose over paper isn’t optional. It’s how you stay alive in a system built to drain you.Growing up between Florida, New York, and L.A. sharpened his third eye. Trained him to spot beauty in the overlooked. Power in the everyday.When he documented essential workers during the pandemic, it wasn’t just storytelling. It was future-proofing. A way to contain truth for the ones still coming.Through his lens, Black fatherhood, Black labor, Black joy is documented. They’re permanent. They’re law.He speaks on legacy and ownership. On what it means to create work for the Black community. Not for applause, but for survival. For freedom.If you build, if you dream, if you speak through visual language, this convo is for you.Tap in. Lock in. Keep building.Check out his work at markclennon.com
