Harlem With A View

Many different factors can affect the way you do things. It can be the way you grew up, where you grew up, your culture, your personality, and the list goes on and on. This holds true for creatives, the way you view the world can impact the way, you parent. In this Duo Episode, Erika and Harlem discuss the way being creative has affected the way they parent and help their child experience the world.

In this duo episode, Erika and Harlem discuss what it means to show up, even on the days you'd rather curl up with hot cocoa and a good movie. It can be hard to get in the groove creatively but with a bit of self-care, anything is possible.

In this duo episode, we dive deep into the question of whether you can separate the art from the artist. Where do you draw the line, what is your hard pass, and are there any artists that are untouchable? You'll hear Erika Rae share her amazing take on Kanye West's documentary while Harlem Lennox forgets the names of the artist but not the deed they have done. We will definitely have to do part two.

In this Duo episode of the podcast, we discuss what we've been up to and the world of networking. Networking can be scary sometimes but you gotta do it if you want to learn, grow, and build solid professional relationships.

Over the hills, through the mountains, and beyond the borders of your comfort zone lies a place where your opportunities are endless. In this episode, we talk to Josea Stanford about stumbling into the world of acting and thriving. We discuss him traveling to different places to live out his dream while spreading the message of positivity and hard work. 

Sometimes we may have our doubts, everyone has them from time to time. But at the end of the day, you must remember who you are and the why of what it is you do. In this episode, we will talk to Erika Rae about her amazing business, her why, and how to know your worth.

Welcome Back to Harlem With A View. I took a bit of a break but we are back and better than ever. I am excited to see what this new phase has in store for my podcast and all of us. I hope you enjoy this episode and all episodes to follow. 

Special thanks to Sarah with Epidemic Sound for their song Permanent Record which is the Intro and outro.

Actors are storytellers. We use the words on the script, our bodies, and our emotion to tell a story. Whether it’s on stage or in films, we make stories come to life. Well, Chris Gordy has got some fantastic stories of his own to tell, and I am all ears. No wonder this man is such a great actor; he has lived. Listen in as he talks about his life as an actor and an all-around Rockstar.

I have a deep love for all things art, but music is the one genre where I can say, "I don't know how you do it. Like at all." It's the same way I feel about the wind. I have no clue where it came from or where it's going next, but its effects are unmistakable. Wind can generate power, it can give direction, and it is a force that keeps the world running. The same can be said about music. I am not sure what we'd do without music and I am grateful that artists like Stephen Felton keep the music alive and well. And it's not just for himself but others as well, passing the love of music down like it was passed down to him.
