(We get into that… but this conversation goes way deeper.) Actor, activist, and creative force Kendrick Sampson (Insecure, Miss Juneteenth) joins host, Alana Hadid, for a bold and honest conversation about power, identity, and the lies we've been sold about success. He opens up about growing up as a misfit in Texas, the influence of his radical collaborations with Boots Riley, and how spirituality and community shape everything he does — on screen and off. This episode is about building systems that serve people instead of profits, connecting back to nature, and telling stories that actually shift culture.\nChapters:\n00:00 Why does Kendrick hate Leos?\n00:22 SKIP INTRO\n02:31 Who is Kendrick Sampson?\n03:28 Childhood and Being a Misfit\n09:22 Boots Riley and Creative Collabs\n13:42 Kendrick’s Seed\n16:26 Reflections on American Delusion\n19:27 Family History and Identity\n29:12 Community\n30:54 Spirituality and Connection to Nature\n31:45 Building Power Through Story\n32:13 Basic Human Needs and Economy\n32:46 Technology and Systemic Barriers\n34:07 Understanding True Power\n40:03 Mental Health and Vulnerability\n45:53 Speed Round\n56:25 Knafeh and Final Thoughts\n\n*Disclaimer: The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views, policies, or positions of Dustlight Productions, Watermelon Pictures, or any of their affiliates, employees, officers, or representatives.
