Tis the season... As the year comes to an end we decided to squeeze in one more episode for y'all. This week on YBO Renz Young of Cultured Sect joined us as we shed light on the MLK library rebuild and answered our challenging question of the week. As always, we Passed the Plate Around; this week we decided to put a little “culture” in the plate and shared some of our favorite songs from artists in Cultured Sect. We stayed on the music topic and discussed what we thought was the album of the year. Renz chopped it up with us and talked about his latest project, “It Was Nice Knowing You”, his start, and discussed some of his future plans (got some Sect exclusives!). Once more, we discussed the Netflix documentary, "The 13th”, who needs to watch it, and what we feel could be solutions for the black community. Things got a little funny as we talked about different memes and the weekly anon. Before we ended episode 17, we reflected on how far we have progressed and shared our resolutions for 2017. We are excited for the future of Young, Black, and Opinionated as well as our individual endeavors. Check out Episode 17! We hope that everyone had a great Christmas; have a fun and safe New year!
