🚨 Hey ya’ll 👋🏾 NPR’s #TinyDesk concer 🚨 Hey ya’ll 👋🏾 NPR’s #TinyDesk concerts have cultivated a loyal fan base, thanks to their diverse range of genres, artistry, cultural depth, and rich musical history. During #EssenceFestival weekend, Tiny Desk host and producer Bobby Carter reflected on his journey, saying his current role is “beyond anything” he dreamed of as a child. With more than a decade on the Tiny Desk team and 25 years overall at NPR, @djcuzzinb said, “To watch within that time, the way it has grown and expanded, and what it means to people—as a music lover, as someone who is obsessed with music—it’s just a blessing.” Carter sat down with #Maxwell in the men’s suede lounge during @essencefest weekend before the artist’s evening performance. We discussed his conversation with Maxwell, Tiny Desk as a whole, Black Music Month concerts, where #KeyshiaCole’s Tiny Desk is at, and how can we get #ToniBraxton a Tiny Desk. 👉🏾👉🏾 Visit inquisitivecarter.com or comment “watch” below and I’ll send the direct link to the interview. #EssenceFest #NPRMusic #BlackMusicMonth #MusicConversation #LiveMusic #MusicLovers #InquisitiveCarter
Filled with fun, purpose, and celebration, Marylan Filled with fun, purpose, and celebration, Maryland Gov. #WesMoore and First Lady #DawnMoore graced the 2025 #EssenceFestival. The couple participated in the Global Black Economic Forum, joining a distinguished lineup of politicians, public officials, and artists, including Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott. @govwesMoore described @essencefest weekend as “one of the greatest celebrations of Black love and of excellence that we have in the country,” noting that the event also marked a personal milestone: his 18th wedding anniversary with the First Lady. In our conversation, @iamwesmoore shared his perspective on Black economic power, which he defined in one word: “wealth,” which he expanded on. His response emphasized the importance of action, taking concrete steps toward economic empowerment. That focus on actionable progress echoed sentiments he shared for vetoing a proposed reparations study earlier this year in Maryland.
