Episode 9: David Alan Grier
In this episode of Blackinformant.com Podcast, I interview funnyman, actor, and now author David Alan Grier. You may know him from the 90′s show “In Living Color”, but he has done so much in his career. Now he his adding the title of “author” to his list of accomplishments. We spent time talking about his brand new book, “Barack Like Me”.
I also talk with Adweek’s Editor-at-Large, Noreen O’Leary. She recently wrote an article explaining how proposed taxes will have an adverse effect on both the marketing industry and some of the basic products we buy.
And finially, I chat with acclaimed author and Atlanta native, Ms. Tracie Howard. We talked about the very heated mayoral race in Atlanta, Georgia and what it means for Black women in that city.
