Send us a textThe MET Gala is an annual fundraising event for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City where celebrities, designers, and cultural icons show up dressed to embody a specific theme that aligns with the Costume Institute's newest exhibit.This year's theme for 2025 is Black Style and dandyism.Originating in the 18th and 19th centuries, dandyism is a cultural and aesthetic movement that champions elegance, refinement, and self-expression — particularly through clothing. But for Black men, especially in the Atlantic diaspora, dandyism wasn't just style — it was resistance. A way to reclaim power, pride, and identity in the face of oppression.This year's theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, centers around Black excellence, Black creativity, and Black identity. It explores how Black individuals across the U.S. and Europe have used fashion not just to express themselves, but to rewrite the narrative.

“You know Detroit is about the look, the feel, it's a Detroit essence to the culture.” That essence radiates through Jessica Blair, the visionary behind Jessica Blair Beauty, a proudly Black-owned beauty supply store in the heart of Rosedale Park on Grand River. From learning hair care in her grandmother's community-rooted home on Blaine Street to launching her own store after midnight shifts in psych hospitals, Jessica's journey is one of resilience and intention. “It sounded crazy, but I felt like it was God telling me — no, this is what you need to do,” she shares. Her shop bridges tradition and trend, offering everything from natural hair essentials like TGIN to bundles and silk press staples. And she's not just selling beauty — she's restoring a legacy. “It was very community oriented,” Jessica remembers of her upbringing, a value now baked into her brand. Through thefts, floods, and pandemic pivots, she turned setbacks into success. Her grand opening on February 21 marked more than a business launch — it's a celebration of Detroit beauty, Black womanhood, and the power of doing it yourself, for your people.

"This record is somebody's pathway to not jumping off that ledge." With that profound truth, Maurice “Piranhahead” Herd ushers listeners into a sonic and spiritual odyssey on Detroit is Different. A master craftsman of music and energy, Piranhahead unpacks how his Mississippi roots led through Muskegon to Detroit's east side, eventually shaping a global funk and house music legacy rooted in community and Black excellence. From making cassette deck beats as a kid to orchestrating full string arrangements for legends, he reflects, “It's more to life than the funk.” His stories stretch from shoveling snow at Grandma's to jamming with Enemy Squad, to late-night spiritual calls with mentor Paul Riser. Whether recalling his Detroit studio days with Mollywop or being moved by Donny Hathaway, Piranhahead reminds us, “Some records will change somebody's life… everything, the heart got to be there.” He challenges Detroiters not to give up their land, not to forget their sound, and to reclaim the city's rhythm. “Detroit is heaven now... got a little hell in it though.” Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

Send us a textWhat happens when a former convicted felon, ex-racist, and recovering addict becomes one of the strongest advocates for HBCUs and Black history? In this episode, I sit down with George "White George" Sedberry, a man who went from hate to enlightenment and now knows more about African-American contributions to history than most Black folks. His journey is wild, his transformation is real, and his perspective? Unapologetically raw. Buckle up—this one's a ride.
Craig Robinson, a former C-suite executive, shares his journey from growing up in Atlanta to living life on his terms as a board director and advisor. He emphasizes the importance of embracing one's inner child and being curious. Growing up in Atlanta, surrounded by Black Excellence, fostered his ability to dream and remain optimistic. He attended MIT and later Harvard Business School where he realized his passion was in leadership and building organizations. He made the pivot to a "Portfolio Life", where he is able to diversify his work by finding opportunities that bring him joy and fulfillment. He is also an advocate for racial equity and uses his expertise in real estate development and urban renewal to make an impact. Craig discusses the importance of using political capital to create economic opportunities for marginalized communities. He emphasizes the need for leaders to model this behavior and create opportunities for others coming up behind them. He shares his unlock of finding the power of curiosity over conviction and the importance of adaptability in personal growth.Key Takeaways: - Leaders have a responsibility to model behavior and create opportunities for others.- Approaching life with curiosity rather than conviction allows for adaptability and personal growth.- Creating space for self-reflection and self-discovery is essential for reclaiming happiness and staying true to oneself.Follow the pod: IG - https://www.instagram.com/podwhatsyourstory/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@podwhatsyourstory Twitter - https://twitter.com/PodWhatsYourSto Follow my story: Main site - https://www.mattestory.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattestory/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/mattestory/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mattestory Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattestory
