During a bike ride through the forest I decided to put my camera on the bike mount and record an episode speaking about transformation and creation as I venture into the next chapter of my life.

ERIK FRANKLIN is a Writer, Director, Producer, and Actor. He joins today's episode to discuss his two upcoming films as well his newly found production company, ZONE 5 FILMS LLC.

 I normally avert from speaking on cases such as this, but the issue has such magnitude towards my culture that I needed to speak up. 

I had the distinct privilege in meeting Alanna Ubach during the Summer Con 2026 event in Puyallup, WA back in late June 2026. She was an absolute delight to speak with and even more so that she took it upon herself to take my phone and speak with my wife on FaceTime.

Would love to have the chance interview her and pick up where we left off.

Special shout out to my twins, Sebastian and Noah who celebrate their 5th birthday today!! 

Happy birthday baby boys!!!

During the 79th Locarno Film Festival, Oscar winner Zoe Saldaña sheds light over the clear direction Hollywood pivots towards in reference to minorities and women.

I also share my thoughts on how race in Hollywood (and in general) often plays against you if you are a minority and a especially a female minority.  

Blue's Clues host, STEVE BURNS offers powerful advice to creatives during his brief interview with Briel O’Cyrus.
