During this episode of "This American Negro," Marquise sits down and just has a barbershop talk with him and two other Black Male Educators. Troy Kyles is a Black Male counselor in the Philadelphia area. Stephen Tyson Jr. is an adjunct professor at Arcadia that also focuses in hip hop culture and has ties to City Year. He also goes by his rapper name ELECT. He is the founder of JusListen Entertainment. We get into hip hop culture, misogyny, respectability politics and more. This is definitely not the end of this conversation, but we will continue to expand this into more spaces.
