This is Karen Hunter and welcome to the hub. I had an amazing conversation with branding expert Marvette Brito on my radio show on

Serious XM Urban View Channel 126 and it was a powerful conversation couched in this kind of you know dialogue around the TV show

pose on FX I couldn't remember the name of one of the executive producers his

name is Steve Canals he's actually the creator I hope I'm pronouncing his name correctly Steve Canals, he's actually the creator, I hope I'm pronouncing his name correctly.

Steve Canals from the Bronx, powerful show, if you haven't watched Poz, you can go catch it on demand.

I think it's even on Netflix right now, you can catch the previous season.

But this conversation led us into this whole exploration around self and people showing up

as their full selves, but more importantly people accepting

others for however they came out of the womb. Marvette said this brilliant thing

no two people have the same fingerprint or the same handprint. why do we expect ourselves to be like other people?

Why are we trying to be like someone else?

There's a reason, even identical twins have different fingerprints

is because we're supposed to be individuals and I've said this probably a

million times but I see humanity as this like all of us fitting together and we've

exploded into seven billion parts but our goal is to be our unique self so we can come together to make a powerful world and until we get that I think we're going to always have turmoil

So let me just thank the creators of Poz and the show that they put out that has forced me to have to think differently

about the world and this conversation led to what ended up becoming like this amazing call

in with a couple of listeners.

So I'm gonna break it into two parts.

First part is Marvette Nye kind of laying the groundwork

for this conversation around humanity.

But the second part is fire, as a father
