I sat down with the amazing Shelli Boone and Paris Crayton to discuss the 2nd Annual Un-Erasable Solo Festival, a powerful celebration of bold stories, fearless artists, and voices that refuse to be erased. We talk about the festival’s purpose, the importance of owning our narratives, and how theater can preserve truth while moving culture forward.

Today, I sit down with actor Jamar Gilbert for a conversation about the journey behind the work. From his Mississippi roots and finding acting at six years old to building a career in Los Angeles, Jamar opens up about faith, vulnerability, perseverance and learning to be present in the good seasons.

We also talk about his television work, creating his own stories and stepping into the powerful role of Levee in August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom at A Noise Within.

This is a conversation about more than acting. It’s about purpose, becoming and what happens when the life you prayed for starts meeting you in real time.

Today, I sit down with Luke Charles Stafford for a real conversation about the person behind the career. From growing up in Anderson, Indiana, to Broadway, film, music and becoming one of the familiar faces of the vertical drama world, Luke’s journey has never fit into one box.

We go deeper into his personal project Against the Wall, working alongside his father, the things men and families sometimes leave unsaid, and what it means to redefine strength. Luke also opens up about faith, ambition, creating his own opportunities through Dream United Studios, and learning that success doesn’t always mean chasing the next thing.

This conversation is about family, ownership, purpose and becoming the man you were always working toward.

Had the opportunity to sit down with Martin Lawrence, Tommy Davidson, Wendy Raquel Robinson and Chris Williams for The Varnell Hill Show.

We went deeper into legacy, Black comedy, longevity, protecting our stories and the full-circle moment of Varnell Hill finally stepping into his own world.

Some laughs, but also some real conversations about what it takes to build work that still matters decades later.

Thank you Scene & Heard for having me. 🎬

Today I had the opportunity to attend opening media day and speak with Tracey Bates, CEO of the Lucas Museum; Ma Yansong, head architect; Mia Lehrer, landscape architect; and Ryan Linkof, Senior Curator and Head of Film Programs.

What made today special was hearing directly from the people shaping the vision, design and future of this museum, then getting to walk through it and experience that vision for myself.

Los Angeles is getting something truly special.

@omarion at the 2026 BMI @bmi R&B/Hip-Hop Awards 🎤

I spoke with R&B star Omarion on the carpet tonight about more than 20 years of music, the legacy of B2K, and still loving what he does after all these years.

The biggest takeaway…. “Stay authentic to the music, your purpose, and who you are”.

Great conversation. Great night celebrating R&B and Hip-Hop.

KJ Dillard joins The Jamir Smith Show for a conversation that goes beyond the spotlight. From his new single “Girls in NY” and joining Bravo’s Summer House to fashion, skateboarding, mental health and becoming the first Black male cast member in the show’s history, KJ opens up about identity, representation and staying grounded as his platform grows. We also get into the women who shaped him, finding himself in New York and the person he refuses to lose along the way.
