    • S6 EP3: Lawrence Robinson on Trusting God, Betting on Himself & Being “Built Different”

      S6 EP3: Lawrence Robinson on Trusting God, Betting on Himself & Being “Built Different”
      Jan 21 2026
      In this episode, host NeAndre Broussard—founder and CEO of Black Menswear—sits down with actor Lawrence Robinson for an honest conversation about faith, discipline, and the long road from Philly to New York to LA. From his early days as a baggage handler (and a real-life run-in with Clifton Powell that changed his trajectory) to landing lead roles and leveling up in rooms he once only dreamed about, Lawrence breaks down what it really means to keep going when it’s scary—and keep believing when it’s quiet. Together, they unpack: The simple but steady quote that anchors him: “Trust God” Discovering acting by accident—and realizing “this is it” Fatherhood, sacrifice, and the fear that comes with chasing a dream The advice Clifton Powell gave him (and how he followed it step-by-step) Why his BET Tales lead role became a breakthrough moment—and how momentum followed Being typecast, being misunderstood, and still staying true to who he is Why training matters (class, craft, and confidence) and how “book the room” really works Fashion as expression: Paris Fashion Week, layers, and building a vision bigger than the moment The mindset battle: fear of “missing my mark” and keeping your vibrations high The message he’d tell his younger self—and the one he leaves with Black men today: “You are enough.” If you’ve been wrestling with timing, purpose, or pressure—this one is a reminder to keep showing up, keep doing the work, and keep trusting God with the outcome. 📌 Share this with someone who needs a push to keep going—and a reminder that they’re already enough. 👍🏾 Like, ✍🏾 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more conversations that pour back into our people.

    • S6 EP2: Olly Sholotan on Brotherhood, Identity, and What Bel-Air Changed in Him

      S6 EP2: Olly Sholotan on Brotherhood, Identity, and What Bel-Air Changed in Him
      Jan 14 2026
      In this episode, host NeAndre Broussard sits down with Olly Sholotan for a conversation that’s equal parts reflective and forward-looking—about identity, brotherhood, artistic growth, and the kind of life lessons you don’t fully understand until you’re looking back. Olly shares how the experience of being on a groundbreaking show shaped him beyond the camera: becoming a better friend, son, and creative. He talks about the moments that made the journey feel surreal, the scenes that hit hardest emotionally, and the mindset shift that helped him stop living only for outcomes and start valuing the process.Together they explore: Life “understood backwards” and why the present moment matters more than we think The emotional truth behind the final season: improvised moments that were barely acting The reality of cultural isolation—and how it informed Olly’s portrayal and perspective Why joy and grief can exist together in the same scene, the same day, the same season How brotherhood shows up onscreen when it’s real offscreen Navigating an industry that still requires Black artists to be “twice as good” to be considered Why Olly’s current goal is simple: show up every day and sharpen the craft If you’ve ever felt like time moved too fast, or you’ve watched a chapter close and wondered what’s next, this is your reminder: you don’t have to have it all figured out—you just have to keep showing up.📌 Share this with someone who needs encouragement to keep going, keep growing, and keep showing up.👍🏾 Like, ✍🏾 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more conversations that pour back into our people.Follow Olly Sholotan:Instagram: instagram.com/ollysholotanFollow Black Menswear:Instagram: instagram.com/blackmenswearX / Twitter: x.com/blackmenswearFacebook: facebook.com/BlackMenswearWebsite: blackmenswear.com#OllySholotan #BelAir #BlackMenswear #Brotherhood #Identity #BlackActors #CreativeJourney #ShowUpEveryDay #WeGonBeAlright Learn more about your ad choices.
