Get to Know Us

Live From The Bronx is a Bronx-based creative brand working to change the narrative by creating a platform that celebrates the artistic genius of creatives and change makers of color. Jason and Kevin were so tired of hearing all of the negativity associated with the place they call home and decided to do something about it. In the midst of the pandemic, they launched the Live From The Bronx podcast, an interview-based platform that elevates the stories and accomplishments of everyday Bronx people, creatives and influencers! We currently have over 50 episodes with 47 different guests from across all different walks of life and industries. Since its launch in 2020, Live From The Bronx has evolved into a creative brand, expanding beyond The Bronx to continue elevating the stories of creatives of color, hosting culturally curated events,  and providing consulting services. With less than 20% of the creative industries identifying as BIPOC, our goal is to change the landscape of the creative industries to ensure we are centering marginalized voices and creating opportunities to impact the creative space.

Kevin's Headshot.heic

Yeeeerrrrrr!

Kevin Brooks is a school counselor in the Bronx and a youth developer. So much of his work focuses on how we can get low income students of color to understand how powerful they are because of their challenges, not in spite of them. He always tries to show up in spaces as himself, which means you may see him in a fresh pair of J’s and a graphic tee. Kevin has been in love with hip hop since he was a kid and it has served as the soundtrack for some of the most important moments of his life. Kevin will argue (and win) with anyone that Jay-Z is the best rapper alive. 

 

Throughout his career, Kevin has had the opportunity to serve as an educator, speaker, and consultant, but his work with Live From the Bronx has been some of the most exciting because he is doing it for the BX.
