In this week's episode of KASHA Talks, I sit down with Dominick Troy, Harlem-based painter and sculptor, to discuss his growing up in Philadelphia, what drives his creativity, how he navigates the balancing act of keeping his work authentic and raw yet commercially appealing, his ability to stay flexible while freelancing, and whether or not he'd "tone it down" for a multi-million-dollar deal.

KASHA Talks is back!! And this week, we are in conversation with a tremendously talented actor, DJ, Yale School of Drama Alumni, and an all-around goofy guy (his words, not mine), Sean Boyce Johnson. After his explosive television debut in the second season of ABC's drama For Life and lending his uniquely recognizable voice to HBOMax 's docuseries 4th & Forever: Muck City, Sean stopped by to chat about his challenging but not less fulfilling journey so far. We talked about his modest upbringing, growing up in Queens, pivoting from law enforcement to performance art, controversial acting techniques, and much more.  

This week on KASHA Talks, join me in a conversation with Ehizoje Azeke. A movement artist and model turned to fitness to channel his physical and mental frustration during the nation-wide lockdown and later turned to political activism to voice his rage towards the injustices that had been crippling the BIPOC community for decades. We chatted about his childhood spent in the suburbs of Illinois, the challenges and complexities of being a black model, and what it meant to be an artist in the year 2020.
