Welcome back to the Part 2 interview with Selwyn Seyfu Hinds -- a master creator who developed everything from magazines, to books, to comics, to TV series. If you haven't listened to Part I, do that first otherwise you'll miss amazing stories like his near-death escape from The Starlite ballroom. Selwyn's credits are too long to list, but one of his greatest accomplishments was guiding a young, now a legendary journalist Datwon Thomas, during his early years. He was the right person, at the right place, at the right time, with the right advice. In this episode we relive Selwyn's defining moments, what he learned from those and how you can apply those to your own life.

Selwyn Seyfu Hinds describes himself as a storyteller who believes success is a group effort. So when Datwon Thomas recalled his most influential mentor, it was Hinds who came to mind because he took an interest in the aspiring journalist when he needed it most. He was a force Datwon admired for creating magazines, books, comics, scripts that moved people. He was a big brother who shared the life lessons a young Black man in Brooklyn needed. He was a sage that Datwon called … a flashlight who revealed the things he could not see. Hinds is a Guyana-born journalist who chronicled the rise of Hip Hop in the '90s as the editor-in-chief of its bible, The Source and later in his memoir “Gunshots In My Cookup”. Selwyn graduated Princeton and went on to become an American screenwriter, comic book creator and film producer -- just a few of his credits include Jordan Peele's reboot of "The Twilight Zone" and executive producer of Hulu's new series “Washington Black” due out in 2023. So let's meet the man who changed Datwon's life by being “a really, really good person who stayed on me, but gave me space”. These are Selwyn's Lessons: 3:07 How do you describe yourself? 6:45 Re-inventing Selwyn the Storyteller 8:07 From Guyana to Brooklyn to Miami 11:13 Princeton and Protests circa 1989 13:02 I got to college and lost my mind 14:03 Times Square, joining the Army 15:50 I wouldn't let any change break me 21:04 My dad was comfortable in all circles 24:01 My brush with death 32:14 It's a miracle we got out of there 38:48 Words of wisdom for Datwon 40:55 "Remember who you are" 44:30 Story behind "Washington Black" 51:05 The big pitch: Hulu, FX and Fox 54:20 "They bought it in the room" Origins of The Great Unfamous Nominate your own Great Unfamous IG: @gr8unfamous Twitter: @gr8unfamous All podcast platforms --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thegreatunfamous/message

A conversation with showrunner and executive producer Selwyn Seyfu Hinds about the production of Washington Black - the tv series based on Esi Edugyen's acclaimed novel. It's been shot on locations around Nova Scotia, following the route of the main character... a boy who runs away from a plantation on Barbados and becomes a globetrotting scientist, inventor and artist.

Stories are a powerful tool to resist oppressive situations. They give writers from marginalized communities a way to imagine alternate realities, and to critique the one we live in. In this episode, Vinita speaks to two storytellers who offer up wonderous “otherworlds” for Indigenous and Black people. Selwyn Seyfu Hinds is an L.A-based screenwriter who wrote for Jordan Peele's The Twilight Zone and is currently writing the screenplay for Esi Edugyan's Washington Black. Daniel Heath Justice is professor and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous literature and expressive culture at the University of British Columbia.Show notes: https://theconversation.com/how-stories-about-alternate-worlds-can-help-us-imagine-a-better-future-dont-call-me-resilient-ep-7-165933Transcript: https://theconversation.com/how-stories-about-alternate-worlds-can-help-us-imagine-a-better-future-dont-call-me-resilient-ep-7-transcript-167520Related article: Afrofuturism and its possibility of elsewhere: The power of political imagination: https://theconversation.com/afrofuturism-and-its-possibility-of-elsewhere-the-power-of-political-imagination-166002Join The Conversation about this podcast: Use hashtag #DontCallMeResilient and tag us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/ConversationCA  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconversationdotcomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheConversationCanadaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/theconversationcanada/Sign up for our newsletter: https://theconversation.com/ca/newsletters/Contact us: theculturedesk@theconversation.comPromo at beginning of episode: Telling Our Twisted Histories, CBC Podcasts: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/906-telling-our-twisted-histories

To understand the impact of Greg Tate, one need only consult the words of fellow critic Michael Gonzales, who on the occasion of Tate's 50th birthday wrote: "For better or worse, if it were not for Greg Tate, there would be no Bonz Malone, Harry Allen, Joan Morgan, Kris Ex, Scott Poulson Bryant, Toure, Danyel Smith, Michael Eric Dyson, Karen R. Goode, Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, Smokey Fontaine, Jon Caramanica, Jeff Chang, Amy Linden, Tom Terrell, Mark Anthony Neal, Tricia Rose, Sasha Jenkins, DJ Spooky (aka Paul Miller), Dream Hampton, Miles Marshall Lewis, Aliya King, SekouWrites, Kenji Jasper, Oliver Wang, Cheo Hodari Coker, Keith Murphy or myself." Gonzales offers high praise for one of the singular critical voices of the last 30 years. The author of several books including the classic Flyboy in the Buttermilk: Essays on Contemporary America (1993) and the edited volume Everything But the Burden: What White People Are Taking From Black Culture (2003), Greg Tate joins Left of Black host Mark Anthony Neal (via Skype) in a rousing discussion of Black Science Fiction, being a "gourmand" of Black Culture and the significance of the late musical conductor Butch Morris. Tate is the longtime conductor of Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber, a former Village Voice Staff Writer and currently Visiting Professor of Africana Studies at Brown University. Duke University Press will publish Flyboy 2: The Greg Tate Reader next year.
