Description

When BLM protests swept across the country in 2020, many celebrities shared their support on social media. Actor Kendrick Sampson (Insecure, The Vampire Diaries) actually joined protestors in the streets and hasn’t stopped fighting since. In the first episode of season two, Kendrick joins Isha to talk about his ongoing efforts to push the movement for Black liberation forward. He doesn’t shy away from tough conversations about police brutality and systemic racism — and shares how his personal experiences with both have shaped the impactful work he is doing today. Learn more about Kendrick’s work with BLD PWR: BLD PWRSpecial thanks to our season sponsor Mercedes Benz.Follow Isha Sesay on Twitter and Instagram. Follow Wonder Media NetworkWebsiteInstagramTwitter

For acclaimed journalist Isha Sesay, being surrounded by news of activism was the norm. But becoming an activist herself was never a role she envisioned—until now. In this new series, Isha sits down with an array of cultural icons who have also found themselves unexpectedly inhabiting a role as “activist.” She explores the motivating circumstances behind their passions, all while revealing the human condition that unites us all: a desire to make a difference in the world.
