“This American Negro” is a social and culture podcast that aims to incite conversation and community building through an intentional dialogue. I am your host Marquise Davon. I am an educator, activist, and overall thinker.

Kevin Samuels has an interesting relationship to Black men. I think it was one that felt more exploitative than genuinely helpful to our community. He sold an aspiration to Black men, but we don't realize what he was asking of us and we did not critically engage with what he was actually saying.

On this episode of "This American Negro," Quise sits down with music artist Juwan of BLK ODYSSY who just released their debut album "BLK VINTAGE." I was deeply inspired by this album and just had to reach out and talk with Juwan about the process behind creating every piece of this project. We talk about creating content that goes beyond the personal, what it means to put Blackness at the forefront, and the beauty in collaborating on such a socio-political album. Juwan is way beyond his years and I'm happy to have been able to talk with him.
