Check out the most recent episode of Soundbites! (Link in Bio) . . Happy Thursday GrUBfam! We’ve got another segment of Soundbites for season 3 and today I want to remind you all to show someone in your inner circle some love. . . We all have many people out there that inspire us. And not just celebrities. Maybe it’s an old neighbor, a friend from college, your parents, whoever. And for whatever reason, even though we live in the most communicative and accessible era of all time, we tend to appreciate in silence. More often than not we don’t reach out to those people just to say “yo, you’re dope” or “that piece really touched me” or “that thing you did inspired me to do xyz” etc, etc. And why not? What’s stopping us from showing appreciation to the people in our inner circle who deserve it? Today I’d like to encourage you to remove all hesitation and go ahead and show love. You never know who might need to hear it. . . Be sure to leave your comments, rate us on iTunes and continue to share the cast on all of your social media networks! That’s how the GrUB fam continues to grow and you never know who might benefit from hearing someone else’s story. Also be sure to check out @toptiervisionllc! . . With that said ya’, have a great week, much love, and as always, keep eating. . . #Soundbites #GrowingUpBlack #ShowLove #advice #SouthAfrica #Austin #business #BlackPanther #NewOrleans #Deebo #Friday #blavity #thegrubcast #WillSmith #Szn3 #PBS #blackexcellence #listen #nyc #podcasts #JordanPeele #Oscars #soundcloud #media #blackexcellence #TopTierVision #CrewLove #selfdiscovery #blessup #keepeating (at Harlem)

The last episode of the GrUBcast: Soundbites for Seaon 3 is up! (Link in Bio) . . Happy Thursday GrUBfam! We’ve got the last segment of Soundbites to close out season 3 and today I want to encourage you to keep doing what you’re doing.* *If you believe you’re already putting your best foot forward . . Sometimes in life we’re faced with a challenge (or multiple) and we never know exactly what we’re supposed to do. Then we may start to feel stagnant and forget to realize the fullness of our progression thus far. We often forget to reflect and recognize how far we have come, not only as individuals, but also how far we’ve come from the foundations set by generations prior. To close out the season I wanted to share a little bit about my family story that will hopefully inspire you all. Today I want to encourage you to put your best foot forward and if you believe you already are, keep doing what you’re doing. The blessings are definitely on the horizon, you just need to keep pushing. . . Be sure to leave your comments, rate us on iTunes and continue to share the cast on all of your social media networks! That’s how the GrUB fam continues to grow and you never know who might benefit from hearing someone else’s story. Also big shout out to my sister @harlemsownlyric! Be sure to check her tour schedule! . . With that said ya’, have a great weekend, much love, and as always, keep eating. . . P.S.

The newest episode of the GrUBcast is up! (link in bio) Today’s episode features the homie Simon Zhang and the multitude of things he's dealt with in both discovering himself and starting his business. When we take the leap to follow our dreams and work on things we believe in we often go through periods of self doubt. And in that self-doubt, we tend to forget how truly prepared we are for the obstacles life throws our way due to things that we survived through in our past. Today’s episode features Simon Zhang and we discuss his experience growing up as a first-gen Chinese-American in Minnesota, his journey in finding his own style, and the struggles he’s gone through in trying to get his jewelry business, MujoNYC, up and running. If you’ve ever doubted yourself in your own journeys, you’ll definitely relate to what we spoke about here. Be sure to leave your comments, rate us on iTunes and continue to share the cast on all of your social media networks! That’s how the GrUB fam continues to grow and you never know who might benefit from hearing someone else’s story. With that said ya’, have an great weekend, much love, and as always, keep eating. As a P.S. Please continue to keep your heads up. I share some words of encouragement towards the beginning that hopefully will help you all in some way during this unsettling time. More on that in the next episode of Soundbites. #Podcasts #GrowingUpBlack #Chinese #advice #identity #network #China #design #key #jewelry #blavity #thegrubcast #blacklivesmatter #Szn2 #firstgen #blackexcellence #listen #nyc #nothingispermanent #Minnesota #struggle #trump #soundcloud #media #believe #faith #radio #entrepreneurship #blessup #keepeating (at Minneapolis, Minnesota)

The first official GrUBcast of SZN 2 is finally up! (link in bio) . . Today’s episode features my brother Jonathan McRae and we discuss the struggles one faces when trying to define themselves as a black man. Growing Up, I always remembered hearing things like "You speak so white" or "You dress like a white boy" and I never really understood why people associated certain positive traits with whiteness. . . Today's episode features soon to be school psychologist, Jonathan D McRae, who talks about his struggle in defining who he is as a black man, navigating different spaces, and just trying to enjoy life while being true to himself. . .

Hola GrUBfam! The last episode of The GrUBcast season 1 is up! And this episode features my sister from another Jamaican mister, Ms. Joan “Lyric” Leslie spitting a plethora of knowledges about her journey in starting her new podcast Fros and Woes with co-creator Kim Allen.    As people who yearn to create and express ourselves, we often go through this difficult process of bringing an idea to fruition and yet rarely document or discuss what that process looks and feels like in real time. Today I had the pleasure of talking to @lyric_212 about her upcoming podcast titled Fros and Woes and what the process has been like in moving this thought into a reality. We talk about her thoughts, worries, and the importance of having a good team in building up a dream.  Definitely another great listen, especially for all my listeners out there who are thinking of starting a podcast or creative ventures of their own. Be sure to leave your comments, rate us on iTunes (http://apple.co/1W0b3aP) and continue to share the cast on all of your social media networks! That’s how we'll continue to grow the GrUB fam and spread this platform, because you never know who might benefit from hearing someone else’s story. So with that said ya, check out the first episode of Fros and Woes this Sunday (August 7th)! Enjoy, have an incredible weekend, much love, and as always, keep eating. #FrosandWoes #creatives #Lyric #loudspeakersnetwork #gimlet #blackness #poetry #growingupblack #key #podcast #blackpodcasts #blavity #bloc #thegrubcast #TheCreatorClass #blackexcellence #black #melanin #blackmedia #soundcloud #jacksonville #radio #blackradio #blessup #keepeating #progress #listen #iTunes  #harlem #frankocean (at Jacksonville, Florida)

The newest episode of Soundbites is here!  Every other week we listen to some edits of past podcasts, I talk about what was said for a bit, and then we close with a brief recap of some of the top news stories of the last week. (Link in Bio) On today's episode we have another excerpt from the Yonkers Blues GrUBcast with Dakota Degree where we went on tangent about the system and how it was really made with people of color "in mind". A great, short listen for when you’re on the go this week. With that said ya enjoy the episode, have an incredible week, and as always, keep eating. #Soundbites #System #Justice #Injustice #YonkersBlues #history #podcasts #GrowingUpBlack #key #black podcasts #blavity #thegrubcast #commonwealth #blackexcellence #listen #nyc #trust #soundcloud #media #believe #lincoln #columbus #radio #blackradio #blessup #keepeating (at Yonkers, New York)
