Join me on Instagram Live for a fun and inspiring conversation with Emil Wilbekin — professor, journalist, and community organizer — about not just surviving, but thriving, addressing how marginalized communities and anyone feeling powerless can manifest personal breakthroughs despite external challenges.

He has appeared On-Air discussing pop culture, fashion/style, entertainment and current affairs on The Today Show, NBC Channel 4 News New York, E! VH-1, MTV, BET, CNN, The Insider, Arise 360, Revolt, and PBS.
