Wooooo. 11.15.22. Get Yerns. Y.A.K. - You Are Ketchup is about navigating industries and self, managing careers and expectations as well as entertaining on stage and entertaining the idea that you may need to add a hyphen to your main discipline. I personally wrote 72K words to tell these stories. inspired by @seshatyonshea who said i needed to write out my thoughts, @_marcusjmoore who said i needed to tell the whole story and @jasonreynolds83 who lead by example and in deed. the team of @toddontheave and @malaikaadero for pushing the work out here. Huge thanks to my brother D. Prosper @soulinthehorn for his thoughts on the read. Soon come on Backbeat books @globepequot Link up top to Pre-Order. #ps lowkey/high key the black and yellow colorway is so apropos @dianholton designed the cover, kept it minimal and intentional tjose colors harken back to my childhood love of the Pittsburgh Steelers: Mel Blount, Stallworth, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, Joe Green Steelers. shoutout to @revtonylee #YAK #yakthebook #youareketchup #blackauthor #musicbook #musicbusiness #blackdesigners #blackeditors #blackityblack #andyellow (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChrkOW7OuZx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
