Play Cousins

This week's 'Play Cousins' podcast brings on two amazing women in the field of film and entertainment. Lande Yoosuf is an author, executive producer, and casting agent who is currently working on her film, 'Privilege Unhinged,' which dives into racial inequality in the workplace. Our second guest, Lauren Quatavia, is an actress, model, and performer that you may recognize from a lot of her work in national commercials, Monica's 'Code Red' tour, photo shoots and more. She talks to us about her upcoming role in season 7 of 'The Walking Dead,' and where she hopes to take her acting career.

It's always a great time when we can get fellow podcasters on the show. This week, we were joined by the Word of Mouth Radio crew. After hearing how they formed into one of the most prominent and popular shows in NYC, we talked all things Hip hop. In an exciting (nearly hour long) conversation, you get to hear us dissect Hip hop's "top tier" all the way down to what was considered "trash."

Don't get it confused! It's still Play Cousins ALL DAY (Gang, Gang, Gang)but we've added a new feature called #LindseysList. For our first joint, we wanted to dissect the top five songs from the late, great Notorious BIG. Let us know is Lindsey's list valid or trash!

We're back after a week's break, and we had a lot to talk about for our 18th episode. We brought on Irv of Quantum Leap Fitness to discuss all things fitness, wellness, and health, as well as his own brand, his bootcamp series, and his web series with Robin J, 'Lift The Fork.' Later on, we dive into a new weekly segment titled 'Lindsey's List,' where we debate our favorite Biggie tracks of all-time.

Part two of our conversation with Rap Radar's Photographer, Calligrafist explores his eclectic career. Caligrafist, while a dope photographer, explains he fell in this profession by accident. He also talked about growing up as a devoted Muslim and his clothing line.

In a prolific two part episode, Play Cousins was pleased to have Rap Radar's photographer and clothing designer, Calligrafist. We went in depth into the story of his life and journey as a man, but we wanted to first get his opinion on this years presidential election and America's selection of Donald Trump. As a Black man and a devoted Muslim, Calligrafist added some very interesting opinions to this weeks show. Part two will be out soon!

On this week's episode of Play Cousins, we had a packed house of special guests who shared tons of amazing stories, dropped all kinds of gems, and shared a lot of laughs. Alley Olivier, created the inspiring brand, Brooklyn Buttah, discussed getting her journalism start, to running her own team. Thomas Knox may seem like a familiar face, but his Date While You Wait campaign has taken off to being more than just a fun subway distraction. The ladies of We Come From Queens also joined us, who talked to us about their podcast journey and what it's been like to use their voices for something positive.

This week's episode of Play Cousins, we decided to honor two of our favorite fellow hustlers/peers in this digital media game; Funny Julius and Cleverly Chloe. Both discussed how they were able to bob and weave through obstacles they've been through on the come-up. While funny, our guests left us with the impression that if you want to succeed in life, DON'T QUIT! Cliché, but one of life's greatest lessons! Stay blessed and enjoy!

This week, while Lindsey was making her dreams come true, Jameer decided to pay tribute to an old friend. Tommy Mikal Ford from the hit sitcom 'Martin,' passed away at the age of 52. The show decided to celebrate his life and 90s sitcoms with guests and fellow podcaster's, Chilligans Island. If your a Martin fan, this is the episode for you!
