    Jaden Dueñas, The Importance of Film & Teaching The Next Generation | One-on-One Conversations

    Jaden Dueñas is a longtime friend. I've seen him grow as an artist and he's seen me grow as an artist. We once worked together as creatives. Now, we are both in our own lanes and striving to accomplish our dreams. We hadn't seen each other in a while, so I sat down with him to talk about where he was at as an artist. Now, he's a documentarian who directs, edits, films, and aspires to teach the next generation. His mission is noble, and the conversation shines light on everything that has gone into it so far.

    Rap Band Amycherz On Keeping Music Fun In the Face of Adversity | One-on-One Conversations

    For this video, I had a conversation with the Chicago rap band, Amycherz. Although there are all types of musical characters throughout the band, the main three are Nano, Jinko and Deo. Throughout our conversation, we cracked some jokes, talked about how they keep the recording process fun, how that reflects in the music, bouts with struggle, and so much more. This was a long one, but there are lots of musical gems and life lessons to take away from it.

    AJANIMF Talks Music, Creativity and Life Philosophies | One-on-One Conversations

    Ajani is someone I went to high school with. We didn't run in the same circles, but we were aware of each other. After graduating, I still saw him on social media. He's been doing his thing with the music, making clothes, and living with an honest and open philosophy, at least from what I saw. That's what made me want to sit down with him. We touched on a lot, but the best part was that it was an honest conversation. Ajani's a gem.

    Dom's Kitchen & Market Workers On What Led To Closure, What To Do Now

    On April 23rd, 2024, Dom's Kitchen & Market & their sister store Foxtrot abruptly closed all of their locations nationwide. Residents have been left without their favorite shop, while workers are left without jobs. I was left with a lot of questions, so I sat down with two former employees to understand what led up to the close and where they're going to go from here. There are still a lot of questions left unanswered, so I hope that this conversation is able to provide a starting point to figuring out what exactly happened here.
