A mythic figure in the Southern California arts scene, Kamau Daáood is a performance poet, educator, and community arts activist. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he was instrumental in transforming Leimert Park into a cultural center and is widely acknowledged as a major force driving L.A.'s Black cultural renaissance. Kamau was a member of the Watts Writers Workshop and developed his style as a "word musician" with the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, under the direction of Horace Tapscott. Over the course of hundreds of readings, his words have lifted audiences from their seats. He's shared a podium with Gil Scott-Heron, The Last Poets, Amiri Baraka, and Sonia Sanchez, and has read in Egypt and Somalia. In this episode, we discuss his passion, energy, and intensity as a poet and ambassador of arts and culture for the community in L.A., and his pride in contributing still to its vibrant traditions. We discuss jazz and what legends like John Coltrane, Billy Higgins, and Mr. Tapscott have meant to him and his journey, as well as his relationship with Juno Lewis—the master instrument-maker, vocalist, and percussionist who played on Coltrane's classic album Kulu Se Mama.

Maya has a unique set of skills that qualify her for one of the most challenging tasks at BRC: telling the story of a company that tells the stories of some of the most renowned brands, subjects, and places around the world. As Marketing Director, Maya oversees all brand, communication, and marketing-related activities. This requires that she sit at the intersection of teams and people, using research and analytics to inform strategy, problem-solve, and either build bridges or reinforce them. A Los Angeles native, Maya has lived and worked in London and Berlin. Before joining BRC, Maya consulted creative and design agencies on their business development and growth strategies. Maya received an M.B.A. from the Drucker School of Management at Claremont Graduate University and her B.A. from Scripps College. Maya danced professionally for over 18 years, the highlight of which was an experience touring Africa as a Cultural Ambassador with the U.S. Department of State.

As a pre-teen jazz prodigy, Anacron studied at Alexander Hamilton Music Academy and Interlochen Center For The Arts before receiving recognition from the Charles Dolo Coker Foundation. By high school, he became an established contributor to L.A.'s seminal mid-1990's cultural movement of Underground Hip Hop, which he pivoted directly into a college study adjacent professional career in the music industry. Over the following decade, he produced dozens of recordings and projects, toured internationally, and was awarded by major media outlets like MTV for original songs featured in film, television, and video games. Early on, Anacron accepted the responsibility of sharing his knowledge and experience with adult and youth musicians and scholars through various avenues of education, including a decade-long tenure at Chicago's prominent Old Town School of Folk Music. Looking to supplement his industry experience with traditional learning, he enrolled in UCLA's Music Business Studies program, where he graduated with honors in 2012. While studying at UCLA, he was introduced to experiential education by way of an emotional intelligence focused ropes course program, instantly developing an interest and passion to parallel his longtime love of music. Taking a hiatus from music to concentrate solely on Experiential Learning, Anacron lent half a decade to training, practice, and formal certification of his skills in conference-, retreat-, and wilderness-based facilitation. Upon becoming a Lead Facilitator for UCLA's Experiential Education program, he branched out to other University of California campuses, working to Primary, then Senior Lead status, while operating and growing as a program facilitator and practitioner certifications trainer for top experiential learning and adventure firms in Southern California and beyond. Anacron's consideration of client needs and assessments, robust practical knowledge and experience, and careful attention to details, paired with a serious and forthright, yet understanding and fun facilitation style, lends to expert delivery of uniquely customized learning and growth experiences. Most recently, Anacron's music industry and experiential learning experience came together with his nomination and esteemed appointment as a United States Cultural Ambassador, internationally sponsored by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Currently, Anacron is a sought after and highly regarded ACCT-certified Senior Lead Facilitator, Curriculum / Program Designer, and Certification Trainer for the highest-rated Experiential Education firms, university programs, and training providers across the nation. Also, as a musician, curator, and executive, he maintains his original love of music; continuing to produce his own and other creator's musical projects, while regularly traveling for artistic and educational endeavors alike.
