As he shares his life and family with the world, Kier is truly on a mission to encourage everyone to discover the unapologetic versions of themselves that they often hide in order to fit in.

Who’s on Content chats with Venita Aspen, DBA client and star of Bravo TV’s hit reality shot, “Southern Charm,” regarding the content of keeping it real when your life is shared online and on tv. Aspen discusses her southern roots; love for food and fashion, while detailing the difficulties of being herself in a world where people define you before truly getting to know you. While reality tv has taken over mainstream media, Aspen hopes that by sharing her life online, she can show her community and show fans the Black woman she’s becoming that honors her Southern roots while challenging stereotypes and inspiring more dialogue about what it means to be from the South.
Interview Highlights:
Even if something is a passion of yours, it’s okay to pivot from it if it doesn’t bring you joy in the way you imagined or want it to Honoring who you are is hard, but necessary when sharing your life online and on TV. Your community wants to know the “real you” not who you portray to be - this builds trust and support when the pressure to show up online is too muchStay Engaged

This week EJ chats with award winning storyteller and creator, Madison Utendahl who through her work as the Head of Social for the Museum of Ice Cream received two Webby awards but also experienced burnout as a result of it. Burnout taught Madison that although she could create great work, there was a price and sacrifice that was paid, and most times the sacrifice of one’s self worth is a price too steep to pay. Understanding that she could create impactful, original content that represented while also inspired her community, she founded Utendahl Creative, a Black-owned, female only, creative agency that allowed her to be creative and groundbreaking in her storytelling while also providing content deeply rooted in culture and community. As a Forbes 30 Under 30, Madison knows that while viral trends may be par for the course with social media today, the longevity of creativity is rooted in something far more deeper.
Interview Highlights: Content is ever evolving and should always reflect the time and space the creator/s are in You must acknowledge your fears but act despite them Creating content rooted in community cultivation that helps creatives define who they are and what their work stands for will always be inspiring and have impact Stay Engaged Host: @iamejjames | @therealdba Guest: @madison.utendahl | Utendahl CreativeProduced by Dear Media.

First up, Who’s on Content?! This Week?! Is Netflix’s From Scratch which has been on everyone’s tongues and tissues in the past few weeks. The 8 episode limited series depicts the beautiful love story of Tembi Locke and her husband, a Sicilian chef named Saro.

Next up, EJ chats with Alex Hill of Just Add Hot Sauce about her recent transition to being a fulltime food creator. As a marketer by trade, Alex suffered from imposter syndrome many times where she started and stopped her online career a few times until fully leaning in and betting on herself.

Who’s on Content?! This Week?! Netflix’s From Scratch has been on everyone’s tongues and tissues in the past few weeks. The 8 episode limited series depicts the beautiful love story of Tembi Locke and her husband, a Sicilian chef named Saro. It is one the rawest pieces of content EJ has experienced and it was only right that he dissects what makes it so.
Featured Guest: Award Winning Author of In Bibi’s Kitchen, Hawa Hassan connects and invites people to eat and learn from her Somalian table. When she launched her hot sauce line for Basbaas Foods, Hassan was just looking for an entry point to start a global conversation around the need for diversification of available foods on grocery shelves that also connected people to the culture and communities of those cuisines. As a proud Somalian, she needed to find ways to diversify the content of our people and the narratives that were being shared about them. Understanding that food is the best cultural gateway that explores the ways in which we are all connected as humans, she’s on a mission to continue inspiring others to explore the foods around the world as a way to better connect with communities far and wide.
Interview Highlights:
It’s better to invite people into an idea rather than tell them what to do or how to do it. Keep the community first - community cultivating content will always reign supreme as the community becomes invested in you! Industry disruptors allow for diverse representative storyteller that connects and expands the experience one could have or share.Social Handles

There’s nothing like the power of representative content, especially when that content reflects you and the amazing community you live in. Irene Walker, Head of Business Equity Programs at Meta grew up understanding that community leaders were the brave small business owners in her neighborhood - including her favorite superhero, Ivory Man.
