AI is no longer some futuristic idea—it’s already here, and it’s changing the way we work, create, communicate, make money, and even understand reality. On this episode of Blaque Zhyt, we sit down and really talk about the AI revolution from a Black perspective with Queen Sasha.Is AI going to create opportunities or take our jobs? What happens to music, photography, film, journalism and creativity when machines can create almost anything? Are Black people prepared to take advantage of this technology, or are we going to be consumers while somebody else owns the infrastructure? And with AI getting smarter by the day, how much of our privacy, creativity and individuality are we willing to give up?We’re talking technology, money, culture, jobs, creativity, misinformation, the future of Black business—and whether we’re ready for what’s coming.The future ain’t waiting on nobody. The question is: are we ready for it?

interviewing RAS ZEBULON Everything You Wanted to Know About Rastafari | History, Culture, Faith & IdentityWhat is Rastafari—really?For decades, the Rastafari movement has been misunderstood, reduced to stereotypes about dreadlocks, reggae music, and cannabis.

Funny, uncomfortable, honest, and layered… this episode feels like a barbershop conversation happening in the middle of the apocalypse.
