Black People & Broadway Let's Talk About Shhh(it)!

    • Personal Journals

Well this Ponderling took off on a journey ! It began as a short conversation about how as artists, sometimes to keep our sanity & spirit, we must pivot to create our own structures. We recently reconnected when we each became enflamed watching our black, gay mutual friend & Broadway artist, basically be ignored by the Broadway community for his GREAT accomplishment. In case you missed it; singer, songwriter, artist & activist Mykal Kilgore has made history as the first openly gay, male artist to earn a nomination in the Grammy’s Best Traditional R&B category. I mean even Cardi B shouted him out! This slowly turned into a longer converstaion about racsim in the enertainment industry, specifically Broadway & our thoughts on shifting that. And that's how 15 miutes turned into 50. Curious? Come on in! #CardiBKnowsBest ❤️
