Henny with Keni

Sorry for starting season II on a sad note but I had some things on my heart. Rest in Peace King Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant, and everyone involved in this tragedy.

This one is for the culture! To commemorate the 30th episode of Henny with Keni, I had my creative sista Meschidia Philip the Ava Duverney of Grenada on the show. We talked about the deliciousness of Oil Down, creating a creative space which sparks the brains imagination, and the importance of facts in storytelling. Follow her on Twitter & Instagram @meschidaphilip You know how to reach me for show inquires @kenithacker Share, like and rate for the culture! Cheers to you all for all the support.

Carl and I go back to my first entry into the D&I space. He's now killing it on the global level at RGA and sending out The Boom List highlighting the best and brightest talent of color from around the world. We discussed the current state of D&I and focused on those that should be accountable, how to sustain a great D&I platform and tips on things we can control and develop.

Just my thoughts on invisibility minus the Henny.

Suzanne Siegel has lived many lives. She's worked in law enforcement, traveled the world sometimes with me, worked in advertising, worked with kids, and even worked for Sean "Puff" "Diddy" Combs. She has also written a book called TINY that teaches us all that even though we're in the "big city" (NYC) it's really really made up of a lot of tiny special things and people which you can find wherever books are sold. We gave no toasts to Aunty Becky a couples time too on this two-part episode so enjoy. You can follow her on Twitter @suzannesiegel and Instagram @tinynewyork For all inquiries, I can be reached @kenithacker on all social channels.
