🎙️@48hourscbs ‘Candyman: The True Story’
In 1987, Ruthie May McCoy called 911 to report that someone was trying to break into her Chicago apartment through her bathroom mirror. Days later, she was found dead. McCoy’s story inspired, in part, a cult classic film.
@dometi_ hosts and co-executive produces “Candyman,” a new @48hourscbs podcast that investigates McCoy’s case.
A toast to staying expansive, abundant, and fully in control 🥂
Before the cameras rolled, Dometi toured CTRLRoom and shared a moment with Racheal, Jazze, and Tobias that perfectly captured the studio's vision.

“Bring everything you are to everything you do,” is one of my mantras. Ran into the multi-hyphenate, Idris Elba, outside of @bespokebladesinc and he summed up this philosophy perfectly.

Connected with @saveoursnap to break down who actually depends on food assistance, why advocates say the system is getting harder to navigate, and how states like Illinois are working to help hungry Americans.
A lot of the people affected are children, working adults, seniors, and disabled folks already struggling to stay afloat.
Watch the full video for context on what’s happening, who’s affected, &how you can help the 100K+ food stamp recipients in Illinois get re-enrolled.

Was invited to speak at Lincoln Elementary in Cal City for career day. Got to rotate between a few classes & share some words about my experiences. Seeing my face on the Alumni Spotlight board was so special, man.🥹
A few of my former teachers were still there too. Great convo with Mr. Urbanczyk (History/Constitution) and Ms. Godlewski (English) — who made sure I could never say “my teachers didn’t believe in me.” Ha!

Been meaning to say this: rap’s relevance was never about Billboard or streams.
Caught up with @djenvy at @blackeffect podcast festival. His take? The rise of independent artists is shifting the game for the better.

Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden.

This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media.
