In this "Transportation and Innovation in the age of COVID-19" episode, Blair Durham chats with Brian ‘Dyalekt’ Kushner from the “Museum of Dead Words” and the “Brunch and Budget” podcast [ https://www.stitcher.com/show/brunch-budget ]. Race-Guy Dyalekt moved from St. Croix to New York to study acting and law. He also liked to rap. After witnessing civil rights injustices at the law firm he worked for, he dropped both the job and the law classes, pursuing the arts instead. Performances at the Nuyorican led him to Hip Hop Theater, writing plays that have been performed on stages across the world. He didn’t sleep on the rapping either, releasing music and touring internationally. His first album/one-man play Square Peg Syndrome helped him get named to the Public Theater’s Emerging Writer’s Group. He has been a mainstay in NYC’s theater and Hip Hop scenes, rocking everywhere from the Bowery Ballroom to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. http://dyalekt.com/  Email: [email protected]   - https://www.museumofdeadwords.com/ 


Dyalekt had been an entrepreneur since his teenage days and tells his students that the only thing that gets him out of his house before 10 am is talking to kids because he would never make it working on a punch-clock schedule. Since the essence of Hip Hop is making something from nothing, Dyalekt has rapped, written, and performed every freelance gig available to his skill set. He ran rap based Lincoln-Douglas debate/battles to teach youths how to prepare and present at a job interview. He linked up with Pockets Change to help students find freedom in expression, understanding, and finances.
