    2026/08/12
    He's been in front of the camera since he was five years old. Shamon Brown Jr. grew up on one of the most important Black shows on television. And now — at 21 — he's really getting started. In this episode of NAACP+ Inside the Industry, host Ariana Drummond sits down with actor, recording artist, entrepreneur, and voice of Michelangelo, Shamon Brown Jr. — best known as Papa from Showtime's The Chi — for one of the most candid and genuinely inspiring conversations in the series so far. Shamon gets into: → What it was like growing up on The Chi from age 12 to 21, and what those years took and gave him → The audition story behind booking Papa — six callbacks, a year and a half of silence, and then one final read → What Papa's journey across eight seasons taught him about his own capabilities as a human being → How he became the first Black teenager to voice Michelangelo in the Ninja Turtles franchise → The Ninja Turtles sequel coming to theaters — and why he says it hits even harder than the first one → Why he launched Shamonsta LLC — and what he's building across music, clothing, and entertainment consulting → His approach to financial literacy: saving a percentage of every check, even after he turned 18, as if the Coogan account never ended → Why he's teaching young people in Chicago about set etiquette, contracts, taxes, and how to build a team → His music — Juke in the Club, Chicago Girls, and why this is the year he's taking it all the way seriously → Advice for parents of child actors, young creatives trying to break in, and aspiring musicians who don't know where to start → What he wants his legacy to say when it's all said and done This episode is for every young creative who has ever wondered if it was possible to build something real from nothing — and for every parent who believes in a kid the world hasn't discovered yet. ️ Host: Ariana Drummond, NAACP Director of Talent & Media Relations Guest: Shamon Brown Jr. — The Chi (Papa), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (Michelangelo), Shamonsta LLC New episodes every Wednesday.

  • Mario Van Peebles: New Jack City, His Father's Legacy & Why Black Stories Must Be Owned

    Mario Van Peebles: New Jack City, His Father's Legacy & Why Black Stories Must Be Owned
    2026/07/01

    Thirty-five years after New Jack City changed Hollywood, Mario Van Peebles is still at it — and this conversation proves exactly why.

    In this episode of NAACP+ Inside the Industry, host Ariana Drummond sits down with actor, director, writer, and producer Mario Van Peebles for one of the most wide-ranging, genuinely funny, and deeply important conversations in the series so far.

    Mario gets into:

    → What it felt like to direct New Jack City for Warner Brothers at the same time his father, Melvin, made Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song the top-grossing independent hit of 1971 — twenty years apart, same game

    → The iconic turkey giveaway scene that almost didn't happen — and how a warehouse fire, rain, and some street hustle made it legendary

    → Why he cast Ice-T as the cop and Wesley Snipes as the gangster — and how he had to convince them both

    → How playing his own father in Baadasssss was "psychotherapy on celluloid"

    → The two questions he asked Melvin in the Mojave Desert after graduating from Columbia — and the answers that shaped everything

    → What his father taught him about joy, bitterness, and why "pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional"

    → His philosophy on building a 40-year career: love what you do, work with people you love, say something you love

    → Why Black storytellers controlling their own imagery is the most urgent issue in entertainment right now

    → The Huxtables, Obama, and the direct line between what we see on screen and what we believe is possible

    → Directing Nemesis for Netflix, Power's Raising Kanan, and what keeps him coming back to the Power universe

    → Why AI will never replace what happened on Lenox Avenue the day everything went wrong

    → His advice to every aspiring filmmaker, actor, and creative watching right now

    This is the episode for anyone who has ever wondered what it means to build a legacy — and fight to protect it at the same time.

    ️ Host: Ariana Drummond, NAACP Director of Talent & Media Relations

    Guest: Mario Van Peebles — New Jack City, Posse, Panther, Baadasssss, Roots, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Nemesis
