“It was important for me to be a part of this conversation because brothers need to do more conversing with one another, in front of and behind the camera. This was an opportunity to display how Black men, who don’t all share the same philosophy or political ideology, can engage with one another for the betterment of our community,” stated activist/businessman/emcee Michael “Killer Mike” Render.
