    Brandon Black “Stepping Into Truth” Tyler Perry’s A Medea’s Homecoming

    Today we’re sitting down with Brandon Black, known for his breakout role in A Madea Homecoming under the direction of Tyler Perry. But this conversation goes deeper than film, it’s about identity, industry, and what it really means to be seen. Host: Let’s talk about the acting world right now. Streaming has changed everything—access, visibility, even what success looks like. How do you see the industry today compared to when you first started pursuing acting? I sat down with Brandon Black and talked about: Do you feel like actors today have more opportunity, or just more competition and noise? There’s also this pressure now to be more than an actor you have to be a brand, a personality, a presence online. How do you balance being an artist versus being visible? Have you ever felt like the industry tried to put you in a box creatively? And if so, how did you push back? . . Brandon Black is not just an artist just stepping into roles, but stepping into purpose. From A Madea Homecoming to what’s next, this is only the beginning of a much larger story.

    “From Baltimore to the Spotlight: George Lovett on Voice, Growth & Staying the Artist You Deserve to Be” “Today on The Jamir Smith Show, I’m sitting down with a voice that carries soul, discipline, and intention, Baltimore-born singer, performer, and storyteller, George Lovett.

    Michelle Kash Interview | “Finding Gravity in Sound”

    Today we’re stepping into a world where vulnerability meets cinematic sound. She’s an artist whose voice feels like midnight in the city, haunting, intimate, and unforgettable. From her breakout cover of Personal Jesus to her latest release Gravity, she’s carving out a distinct lane in dark pop. Today, we welcome Michelle Kash.” We were able to ask questions with Michelle Kash: -You’ve described growing up surrounded by art and creativity, can you take us back to a specific moment in your childhood where you first felt the power of music, not just heard it? -Before stepping fully into music, you explored acting, poetry, piano, guitar, how did those disciplines shape the emotional language you use in your songs today? -Hurt Me sits in that space of admitting something is ending. Was writing that song more about closure, confrontation, or confession? -You’re also deeply committed to animal welfare and empowering women and girls, how do those causes shape your identity as an artist? -You once said, “When I listen to music, I don’t feel alone anymore.” Was there a time in your life when music was the only thing that made you feel seen?

    BUILDING BLACK WRITERS WEEKEND w/ CEO Tamika Jamison Interview

    I’m super excited about this next interview. I had a chance to sit with Black Writers Weekend, CEO, Tamika Jamison, and chat about how she built this community of writers and became the blueprint of the unseen. We dug deep and talk about: Tamika, when people hear your name today, they hear author, entrepreneur, visionary, founder, but who is Tamika Newhouse at the core when the titles are stripped away? You’ve built spaces for so many others to shine. What life experiences first taught you that creating platforms can be just as powerful as standing on them? BEGINNINGS & PURPOSE Do you remember the exact moment you realized storytelling would become your life’s work? What happened in that moment? Before the awards and recognition, what were the private battles you had to overcome to believe your voice mattered? BUILDING BLACK WRITERS WEEKEND Black Writers Weekend has become movement energy. What void did you see in the culture that made you say, “This has to exist”? When you first launched it, did you know it would become nationally respected, or were you simply answering a calling?

    I’ve Cried the Blues Cast & Creative Team Guests: Dennis Williams, Candiace Dillard Bassett, Darrel Walls, Karen Linette Welcome to the show. This production carries history, music, pain, and triumph. For each of you—what was the first feeling you had when you became part of I’ve Cried the Blues? This story is set in 1945 Little Rock, but the themes still feel current. Why does this story matter in 2026? The cast talked about some aspects of the play that audiences would love to hear more about!: Dennis Williams: Dennis, what truth were you trying to tell when you first created this story? Mattie is fighting for freedom in every sense. Was she inspired by women you’ve known or women history often overlooks? Darrel Walls: Darrel, you’ve moved audiences through music for years. How different is it when music must now advance a character’s pain, love, and survival on stage? Candiace Dillard Bassett: Candiace, people know you from television and music, but theater asks for a different kind of vulnerability. What has this experience unlocked in you? Karen Linette: Karen, with your incredible range and experience, how do you use your voice not just to sing—but to tell truth? This phenomenal play leaves us with questions to take back with us: One word that describes this production? One lesson this story teaches? One reason everyone needs to experience this live? What are you most proud of in this moment? Instagram: @denniscre8ts @musiqcity @therealcandiace @reanlinetteofficial @jamir_smith JamirSmith.com YouTube: Jamir_smith
