Episode Notes

Fluent like many of my guests I’ve known for years but through our interview now have a much more in-depth perspective of who he is. He was one of the youngest people to make his way to Café Mahogany when Zana (of Spectacles Boutique) provided him the opportunity to host. The techniques of shaping expression from hip-hop to poetry were laid and followed from Khary Kimani Turner (my name brother I just featured). Fluent’s work is experiential. The experience you get in Detroit. His eclectic blends of Dexter bus rides (shout out the 16!) with Detroit’s most exclusive art scene is his plot to place characters exploring Detroit.

In our interview, we discuss his upcoming show ‘Please, Her, Please Him.’ Honoring romance.

A few common definitions of the word PLEASE:

1. Cause to feel happy and satisfied.
2. Take only one’s own wishes into consideration in deciding how to act or proceed.
3. To afford or give pleasure or satisfaction
