Abstract

Tiy Reed is from Nashville, Tennessee, but has graduated from Georgetown University and is now in the process of getting his masters degree from Georgetown. This interview cultivates the culture while also captivating the intellect of Mr. Reed. We dive into a raw conversation on things that interest Mr. Reed like food or different cultures. We then eased into the lane of social media, asking Mr. Reed what was his opinion on social media. We then took intermission but quickly got back into the topic within 5 minutes. Mr. Reed also gave us an insight into the current state of the Black Lives Matter movement in Washington, D.C. This interview gives listeners a chance to hear from a young leader who will make a change and break barriers people can’t imagine. This Interview with Tiy Reed explores the art of change when it comes to the community while also talking about the connection the black community has to social media. The topic of how he uses social media came up during this discussion, and he stated how he uses his social media as a means to build his brand. He added to this speaking on the effects of social media, and how it impacts the youth. He states at times that social media allows you to compare yourself to others and get caught up in the future. This allows you to listen in to a conversation between two young leaders who hope and work to change the narrative for us.
