The Sit Down podcast recently visited Morgan State University to connect with the next generation of artists, musicians, and creatives. The episode, part of a series called The Sit, showcases a diverse lineup of talent, highlighting their creative journeys, inspirations, and aspirations.
The video introduces a range of creative professionals, including filmmakers, musicians, producers, photographers, fashion designers, sound engineers, models, DJs, and marketing directors. Each participant shares insights into their craft, offering a glimpse into the artistic community at Morgan State. Many of the featured creatives credit their cultural backgrounds and personal experiences as major influences. Some emphasize the importance of collaboration, while others reflect on how childhood interests evolved into their current artistic paths.
Several participants have already contributed to high-profile projects, including a documentary about Kamala Harris for the Democratic National Committee, Showtime’s Everything’s Going to Be All White, a LGBTQIA+ romcom titled Love Culture, music videos, albums, and sports photography for Morgan State University.
Throughout the conversation, the guests share key lessons for those looking to break into creative industries. Many stress the importance of authenticity and confidence while also acknowledging that rejection is part of the process. They encourage aspiring creatives to keep creating, understand the business side of their work, stay inspired, and avoid comparing themselves to others.
When asked about their long-term goals with unlimited resources, the responses vary from producing major film projects and building educational institutions to creating infrastructure in Africa and helping underserved communities. Others express a desire to push boundaries in music video production and creative storytelling.
