I am wishing safety and health to our global readers. It’s been a tumultuous week on the global stage, as we witness the Russian invasion on Ukraine and the continued devastating aftermath. As we seek to understand this conflict in Eastern Europe and its impact, we’re sharing thoughts from featured experts in this arena to provide color and context into what’s happening in the region today – people like John Mclaughlin, who’s provided color into topics like US-Russia relations and Putin’s perspective on Ukraine.
This week in our studios, we wrapped up Week 4 of The Carlos Watson Show, hosting guests engrossed in entertainment and politics. People who have changed how we view the world by creating visibility towards individuals and ideas where we otherwise wouldn’t. People with platforms, power, and purpose. First, we hosted actress Laya DeLeon Hayes, who spoke about overcoming adversity as a biracial youth, embracing her own individuality, the difficult and oft downplayed transition from childhood acting to what comes next, and the contextualized implications of children today being raised with technology. Then, we had Perez Hilton, pop culture guru and the “original influencer.” Following Perez, we featured conservative NH candidate for Congress, Karoline Leavitt, who, should she win her race, will be the youngest person elected to Congress. We closed the week with Wu Tang Clan’s legendary RZA, rapper, director, and producer extraordinaire. So if you missed any of the episodes, make sure to catch up!
Our upcoming episodes are just as compelling - featuring: notable actor Jeffrey Wright of HBO’s Westworld and supporting actor in the upcoming The Batman; 11-term US Congress Rep Pete Sessions (TX-R); accomplished actress and author Blanca Blanco, Grammy Nominated musicians and Mother and son duo, Nnenna & Pierce Freelon; and cannabis tech titan Chad Bronstein. Portfolios you know, policymakers you don’t (but should), and the innovators shaping our future, these guests make up another series of game changers you don’t want to miss — all on The Carlos Watson Show.
Continuously inspired by our guests’ experience and their storied accomplishments, along with the foresight they offer for our future, we remain ever eager to bring you new content to Elevate the Conversation. The story’s not over yet - stay tuned to see what’s in the queue.
