Big Wos and Nando Vila are joined by writer Bertrand Cooper to discuss his new piece "Who Actually Gets to Create Black Pop Culture" for Current Affairs magazine. People always say “black people aren’t a monolith” but Bertrand goes DEEP with research and breaks down who specifically gets an opportunity for these jobs and the background they come from.
"Black pop culture reveals that most Black creators (outside of music) come from middle-to-upper middle class backgrounds, while the Black the poor are written about but rarely get the chance to speak for themselves" - Bertrand Cooper
