About Steven Thad:

Steven Thad, born Stephen Leslie, Jr., has always been a musical individual. As a kid growing up in the DMV area, he and his sisters, Sierra and Shanté, developed their love for music while accompanying their parents to many choir rehearsals. As a result of their musical upbringing and the support of their dedicated parents, he and his sisters were able to garner success as the Billboard-charting gospel group, Trilogy.

Thad’s solo musical journey began when he left for college in 2014. There he started to develop his own musical identity for the first time. In 2018 he began to shadow Grammy-nominated producer Dana Soréy which helped him gain the confidence to start making his own beats, perfect his sound and release his own albums and EPs of cover tunes. In October 2022 he released his first album with his own original music entitled, “Love R&B” which showcased his love for the genre with tracks like “RNB”, “Do You Remember” and “Goodbye, Farewell”. With the help of Soréy, he released “Love, R&B: Deluxe” that elevated each song to an even higher dimension of musicality.

As Steven Thad continues to evolve and create, all signs are showing that this is just the beginning of an illustrious career for the rising star!

Based on Talks’ popular character Cassandra – the uber-glam, larger-than-life female executive who identifies as “fabulous and flawless”– Boss Up, The Musical follows Cassandra’s journey as she shockingly gets fired from her big-time job, loses face, and must find her self-esteem from within.

With all that has played out in the media relating to Dr. Claudine Gay, we have to recognize that there is ALWAYS more to the story...

In case you missed the headlines, "Claudine Gay is an American political scientist and academic administrator who was the 30th president of Harvard University and is the Wilbur A. Cowett Professor of Government and of African and African-American Studies at Harvard." (source -Wikipedia) whose resignation from the role as President at Harvard played out before our eyes I had to place a call to try and gather the reality of how this could happen.

The call was placed to Poor Culture Founder and Holy Queer Author, Rev. Karmen Michael Smith as I was perplexed by the portrayal of the story, I had to phone a friend! Going beyond the general scope of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Karmen helps me to understand the reality that what we see is a larger effort against diversity in traditional spaces. Babeeeeeeeeee... He! Goes! There!
