Hex Code Black (#000000) is a podcast featuring honest conversations with Black creative professionals, who’ll tackle WTF moments at work that somehow end up on hot-button topics like colorism, classism, racism and colonialism. Alongside these discussions, we’re bringing our own kind of heat by showcasing top scholars, professors and industry outsiders to tell us we are not crazy and that our feelings, thoughts and actions are deeply-rooted in history, policies and laws that have influenced everything in our lives.

    #4 | MLK had a dream. Kendrick Lamar had a dream. What's the difference?

    Martin’s dream from 1963. And Kendrick’s dream from 2012 in his song Backseat Freestyle. The song makes you think about Martin’s dream through the lens of Kendrick Lamar. Both dreams talk about equal access to power. And in the Black community it’s always been a great divide on how to access power. Some Black people follow the vision and direction of MLK: “new laws, love, determination, and community…” It’s a collective change. But on the flip side, some Black people follow the dream of Kendrick: “acquiring as much money, and material things which is power in the U.S. It’s an individual change. They both clearly have a different approach, style and swag. BUT is either perspective wrong? Is Kendrick simply stating what America truly values as power? Is Dr King’s dream attainable? or something to one day live for? Do we NEED both perspectives? Outside of the song and speech are these men the same? OR when we place both dreams next to each other do we see the hypocrisy and contradictions of America. Example of Kendrick’s Dream 2012 | Backseat Freestyle Example of MLK’s Dream 1963 | I Have a Dream  | listen to dream at 1:55 to 4:14 Film Director,  Justin Polk Fine Arts Professor/Actor, Damian Lewis Creative Director, Tahirah Edwards-Byfield Producer, Sydni Chustz Creator & D.J., Xolisa Tshomela Author, Thought Leader,  Strategist & Creator of Courageous Conversation®, Glenn Singleton Scholar, Professor & Chair of the Clive Davis Institute, Jason King Professor, Counselor & Contributor Writer for Forbes, Dr Maia Hoskins Show produced by: Deutsch LA Sound Engineer:  Cayce Sylvester Producer: Reonna Johnson

    #3 | How can Black people dismantle the term ‘regular Black’… and stop using it?

    Contrary to popular belief, all Black people are not the same. We are not a monolith. And unfortunately, monolithic thinking goes beyond just what society thinks of Black people. It also shows up in the way the Black people treat one another. How do we challenge our subconscious thinking and celebrate Black people and their glorious differences, perspectives, backgrounds, etc? Do we need to educate our peers, friends, and family more? Do we need to look at how class may play a role? OR do we simply say ‘f@ck it’ and stop fighting the normativity standard and just be ourselves? Hosted by: VP/ Director of Growth Strategy, Reonna Johnson, featured guests in this episode include: Fine Arts Professor/Actor, Damian Lewis Actress, Julanne Chidi Hill Film Director, Justin Polk Art Director, Lauryn Alvarez Creative Director, Tahirah Edwards-Byfield Producer, Sydni Chustz Executive Music Producer, Carol Dunn Strategist, Olivia Campbell In addition, Glenn Singleton, author, thought leader, strategist, and creator of Courageous Conversation®, joined the conversation to let us know our responsibility as Black people to dismantle the term - ‘regular Black.’ We also invited Jason King, scholar, professor and Chair of the Clive Davis Institute to share his perspective on breaking through normativity thinking.
