Kahlief Adams and Spawn On Me is definitely taking the Shirly Chisholm quote the show opened with to heart.
“If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”
Shirley Chisholm
He has created a platform and award show that is not only inspired by Black and minority culture and people but hosted and ran by it—featuring content creators such as Friskk, Mr. Midas, Ray Apollo, and Kesadia. Alongside industry legends such as Corporate Vice President of Xbox Sarah Bond, and WWE Superstar Xavier Woods to give interviews and warn people about Parris Lilly‘s cooking. This event was nothing small and we must make sure to show love and support so that it can be even grander next year.
