K.r.e.a.t.e.

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.

This topic has been on my mind for a while. Enjoy.

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.

He is one of the most down to earth people I know in this business and on this episode he shares with us his experiences in the ad industry only the way he knows how. Straight up with no chaser. We talked about diversity, we talked about the corporate structure in advertising and how it benefits certain people, and his recent short film that will be available for the world to enjoy very soon.

If first Q aka Quentin Walcott about 4 years ago. And like most real human beings you know that from day one. I interviewed him for a documentary I was doing called Innovators of Change which was a compilation of leaders making a difference in the black community in real time. Since then we've stayed in touch and even helped each other projects to uplift the community.

If you missed my sista Christina Love Lee on K.R.E.A.T.E. TV then miss her no more because she’s on Henny With Keni. Cynthia and I had a great time sipping some special Henny Tea with her during this episode. Yes, she brought a gift that opened our senses to all the things musically wonderful about her and her journey. Disclaimer we did discuss suicide and depression a little bit on this episode. There is no reason to be ashamed or having those feelings but there ways to bring yourself out of that dark place. If you ever feel that way please reach out to the good people at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevent https://afsp.org If you’re depressed, please speak to someone you know you respect and respects you about back or even a therapist.
