Nov. 5, 2021 Spotlight: The April Silver Takeover of iMiXWHATiLiKe with Jared Ball

If I must say so myself, the producer, host, and namesake of  "iMiXWHATiLiKE!" with Jared Ball" had the rather brilliant idea to turn over his show to me, LOL!

For two hours on Friday, November 5, 2021 from 8am to 10am ET. I get to spotlight my agency *and* I get to spotlight the clients and friends I admire. Tune in. We'll be live on YouTube for the full two hours!

We'll be sure to address the powerful student protest at Howard University aka #BlackburnTakeover.

FYI, "iMWiL" is an acronym for "I Mix What I Like!" (stylized as "iMiXWHATiLiKE" or  "iMWiL") and it's a take on Steve Biko's collection of writings, entitled I Write What I Like: Selected Writings by Steve Biko. #ProudPublicist #ArtsAndActivism #AKILAWORKSONGS
