    A lively episode of Now We Know, after a brief break to reset! There's no better way to put it, as Jonathan said; on a scale of Booker T Washington to WEB DuBois, how bougie are you?

  • From the Vault: The Triumphs of Black Music with Multi-Platinum Artist, Cameron Forbes

    From the Vault: The Triumphs of Black Music with Multi-Platinum Artist, Cameron Forbes
    May 28 2024

    Sometimes, Donna & Jonathan need a vacation too. Re-sharing a popular episode from April 2023.


    Music is instrumental, pun intended, for many of us in the Black Community - Donna & Jonathan are no exception. From childhood artistry to a now multi-platinum singer-songwriter, Cameron Forbes joins the Now We Know podcast for an episode on the joys, the struggles and the triumphs of building his music career in LA over the last decade. Cameron details how he remains true to himself in keeping the love for music and not becoming jaded in a world that wasn't created for the faint of heart.


    How has the world of TikTok and plagiarism impacted the music industry? Are artists having greater control over their creations or will AI totally change the game?
